I wasn't really sure how this would turn out with last episode's so-so moment at the start, but now that the focus is on Sasuke this has my full attention. Lots of questions and speculation I had from the war were answered and implied. Since the war is over, I imagine the major nations are on better terms which leads to more discreet dealings like this behind the scenes.

Something else I noticed is that the person in last episode's pre-OP intro was small like Chino. Makes me wonder if eternal loli her condition is related to this case.

I just loved Orochimaru's shocked expression when Sasuke said Chino is older lol. He was mad because someone is trying to rival his immortality by looking even younger.

Anyway, it's a fun episode. Taka, mention of Kabuto as in gaiden, Yamato, Orochimaru-sama doing what he pleases.

This Sasuke arc is quite interesting.

So that kid is actually older than Sasuke, Even Orochimaru was surprised. :o

The interaction on the boat was really good, Though like Orochimaru says, Naruto probably wouldn't think of something like that.

Classic Orochimaru, Using Sasuke as bait. XD

One thing I really cant understand, why are they showing light novels in a wrong order. Shouldn't Kakashi Hiden be first. I mean even if they skip it, it doesn't make sense to show Shikamaru Hiden after Sasuke Shinden. I would say probably a typical Studio Pierrot mistake

Lol just like Sasuke to reply to the summons with a request for independent ops
so even out here Sasuke's name is known eh

Hmm so Chino and her friend wants to accompany Sasuke eh
well the chiefs daughter did treat them well so it makes sense that they would like to avenge her

Hmm so Chino is actually than she looks eh
lol but she is right in not judging someone by their appearance though

Lol Chino can be quite persistent though
but at the same time can act like a normal girl too lol

hmm i forgot that Sasuke never actually met Yamato
so this is their first meeting eh
so Yamato's one of the guards guarding Orochimaru eh

Yamato is one person that you can't lie to and get away with it lol
Hmm the merchant of death eh
kind of a apt name for a weapons trader

Getting Orochimaru to help lol
Lol Chino's expression after Orochi left the room though
a combo of being both angry and frustrated eh

lol so thats who Orochi was fetching
Sasuke's old crew eh
Karin's love for Sasuke is as strong as ever i see
Karins arguments with Suigetsu is still as funny as ever though

Hmm so thats why Sasuke is not returning to the village then
the fact that its Orochimaru who tried to destroy the village countless times is the one that is trying to stop the same from happening is kind of ironic

So Karbuto is now the director of a orphanage eh
Quite a theory that Orochimaru has there eh
insurance for something that the villagers can't stop eh

hmm an island of wealth eh
hmm so a market of shinobi in the form of a survival game eh
so the guy that they are looking for is a collector of powerful shinobi eh

Looks like Chino has deeper pain behind her eh
lol putting Sasuke in as a contestant
but then again this is the best way of getting to the target i guess

hmm his opponent is not an easy one eh
but man what a way to end that episode
an explosion in that area would cause a lot of casualties

A good episode actually
Sasuke going to Orochimaru for help certainly was a surprise and it was nice to see not just his old gang but also Yamato as well.
The concept of a arena that houses a survival game between ninjas that acts as a sort of ninja market was a interesting concept. The overall plot is pretty interesting so far

Wish they changed Karin, Jugo, Suigetsu's look at least a little seeing as most of everyone else got a slight image change indicating that time had passed. Either way though, love the fact that they were shown in this episode and of course Orochimaru as well. Always something interesting happening with him around. xD

How old is she?
Yamato appears.
I was wondering what happened to Orochimaru after the war.
Orochimaru points out that Sasuke has interesting-looking friends with him. Yes, movie/filler characters.
Karin runs to her Sasuke.
I like how Sasuke and Orochimaru talk about who is free and who isn't after the shit they've done.
Kabuto is the director of an orphanage. Nonou would be happy.
So many filler faces.
LMAO at Orochimaru's reaction to Sasuke telling him about Chino's age.
If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have).

Lots of rich people in a casino wearing suits? Is this Naruto Shippuden still?

I bet Sasuke will just watch that human bomb explode without at least trying to save some people.

Orochimaru, as clever as ever.

these rich people is like coming from future, owning a company, a corporation, and shit.
I thought in Naruto era, there's no such thing like that since their technology are still limited.

It seems obvious that the old loli girl and her friend are turning people into exploding zombies. I could be wrong though, but looks like they're the culprit because of how the daughter turned into one when they went into the house.

I like where they're going with this arc but at the same time, I wonder how they will finish this anime up without rushing through this arc. I really like the duo that tagged along with Sasuke, especially Chino. I love her dynamic with Sasuke lol
It's interesting and I'm wondering how this match will play out with the exploding human appearing. All I have to say is that Chino and that other guy better not die. I know Sasuke will be fine.
And a surprise appearance by Yamato was nice! We haven't really seen him in a while.

It feels like the content of a Shippuden movie.
I never thought I would see underground ninja tournaments run by people in suits in Naruto.

I'm glad we got to see Suigetsu, Karin, and Juugo again!
I'm also kinda laughing at how both Sasuke and Orochimaru were shocked at Chino's age. I bet Orochimaru's like, "I wanna experiment on her, but I'm on watch soooo... tch." XD

Lol Yamato's monitoring Orochimaru?

Orochimaru and Kabuto have turned over as new leaves.

Lol I wanted to see Sasuke vs a random shinobi

Yeah, now I'm definitely more wary of Chino. She disappears and an exploding human appears? Just like that?

Pretty sure I figured it out. Also, her eye's size and shape look similar to the eyes Sasuke saw in the genjutsu.

Episodes and plot was likeable however, the last what feels like fifth of the show was all filler with wild and borderline pointless episodes that broke up the final fight scene making it extremely hard for me to finish.
