Hmm an episode featuring Shino, Kiba, etc.
This arc sure likes to jump to places.

The episode had a slightly more serious feel compared to the recent episodes. Shino is such an underrated character seriously. Not much changed about him though.

Shino and Kiba get the focus this episode. I really wish Kishimoto had spent a little more time developing Shino in the manga because I feel like he had potential to be a decently interesting character. Unfortunately he ended up being used for that running gag of always being forgotten and left out.

I don't think they're married, I think they're just seeing each other (at least that's how it was in the final manga chapter). I haven't seen any of the Boruto epilogue stuff though so idk maybe they're actually married by then.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

This epi feel more NS... serious and less comedy... NS in comedy is such a drag not fun to watch ;) really like that epi.. Tamaki girl get straight from Manga into this epi. Pierrot good job =D & finally we will be able to see Hinata-chan in next epi <3

P.S. Shino is soo underrated and I hate it! But this really put him the forefront!

Mirai, Asuma (R.I.P.) & Kurenai is a charming child.

I don’t know anything about Naruto and beyond but I would like to see Shino as a teacher for the younglings... In Boruto.

Kiba... a dog trainer/owner in love(?) with a cat trainer/owner… Oh, the irony… I also want to see them as a couple in Boruto.

At this point, I just feel that Orochimaru is there to troll Yamato because he knows that he's being followed. But it bothers me that none of the Konoha 11 be like "the fuck is Orochimaru doing?"

Anyway, finally Hinata will get some screen time next week! Like damn, come on! This whole arc revolves around her and Naruto yet they didn't utter a single line yet.

But this episode is a nice touch to Shino being a teacher and Kiba ending up with that cat owner.

Shino episode, yeah, thata's what we fucking need two episodes till the very end of Naruto xD

The only slightly interesting thing about it was Kiba meeting the cat girl I guess. I don't remember if they have any kids in Boruto - although it could be kinda fun to see someone controlling both dogs and cats I guess :>

Btw didn't Mirai had black hair in the manga? @_@

Its nice to see that at this point most of Naruto's friends now have an idea on what they are sending Naruto for his wedding gift. Shino has always been good with creating some impressive things with is insects. I like Shino's new look though. Man these kids sure are posting some deep questions for Shino. So Kiba and Shino haven't got their gifts yet eh. In a way Kiba is right in that once Hinata gets married she won't be able to go on missions that often. I guess its everyone's dream to become Hokage one day though. Since the gift is for their valued teammate and friend as well Kiba and Shino would have to work pretty hard to find the perfect gift. Kurenai's daughter Mirai sure is cute lol. And its nice to see Kurenai again actually. Honey wine eh. That sounds like something that would be perfect for the wedding as its both rare and has a great taste and also perfect for the occasion as well. Lol Shino making a cheesy joke its nice to see he has at last developed some humor. Lol a ninja cat now i seen everything lol.

i guess Kiba's weakness is cute girls eh lol. But communications is also a big part of being a ninja as well. Winning without fighting is just another form of victory. This forest sure has a forbidding feel to it. Lol Kiba's like an open book most of the time. Kiba may talk big most of the time but he does actually have a dream though while the same can't be said of Shino. Insect users vs Insect users eh. Poison won't work on Kiba at all so the enemies surprise attack did nothing really. Hmm a jutsu that makes it impossible for you to escape from the forest by use of a fog eh. Fog that takes the doubts from your heart and turn it into fog eh. So because of Shino's doubts this fog is even thicker while for Kiba who has none there is no fog. Well if anything this has the effect of prompting Shiba to think about his future. If Shino had not met Hinata and Kiba then perhaps he would have fallen but not now he won't. To be with your friends and supporting team is ad admirable dream though. Sure its not as grand as being Hokage but still a admirable dream in its own right. Love letters eh lol. That might still work as she's clearly in awe of Kiba. Maybe being a teacher will be a good path for Shiba as he can deal with kids quite easily.

Shino Is my best Naruto character since the first series. I must admit it, they made him look bad in Shippuden in terms of character.
I only remember one thing in the first series where he looked bad when they've been scared of Gaara, yet all of that was Kiba's fault. And as a plus, Team 8 were the first team to arrive in the second exam.
However, he didn't have a proper fight in the Shippuden. His new technique was nice but when you wait more than 10 years for a proper fight and the whole series to end without that what could u say?
Still, Shino is one of the most strongest characters in terms of ability. He didn't lose a proper fight too.
Even in the first series, He use to finish his business by himself.

-I have to say Kishi's Naruto cast has all sort of characters you will find in your roster in school, work, etc
-Shino is one of those introvert types who can never express himself outright in front of a group.
-No one seriously hears him, hence his statements always have a second line starting with 'because' to explain his first statement.
-This episode showed despite all that covering, inside he is as passionate and filled with ability as anyone else
-Not everyone's most likable type of character but such people do exist

Like me :)

Mirai has pale brown hair.

Asuma had dark hair
Kurenai had dark hair.

Conclusion

Mirai is Kakashi's daughter...


I always Liked Shino - he is one of the most competent people in the Konoha 11.
There is nothing bad with him beeing a side character though, so I am glad he got some nice episode for him...

Kiba on the other hand is a disgrace - dameningen ;p

Funny how his own mother considers him useless too in some episodes...

He is basicly still on the level when he fought Naruto in Chunin Exams...
Exept he can make 3 headed Gatsugan now ...

Sad...

Orochimaru lol

Interesting how that one boy wants to be Hokage and surpass Naruto. Seems to fit the mold.

I think this is the first time I've seen Shino without a hood on XD and it's weird for them to say it's the last mission for Team 8 since Hinata is getting married and won't be able to do as many missions. I didn't think about it like that.

Kurenai is so wise. Honey wine sounds like a good present! Mirai is so cute uwu

Smooooooth Kiba very smooth lol
The way the bee guy just surrendered to Shino is kind of funny. At the end of Shino discovering his new dream and getting out of the forest, it seemed like that bee guy was just lonely and lost trying to find his own dream/path.
The fact that Kiba was unphased and totally unaffected by the bee guy's jutsu is so funny lol Shino and Kiba are so different.

I can't wait to see Hinata and Naruto together!!!
