Great episode, just loved all the emotional intensity :)
Not really suprised about danzo, no wonder he's gone all these years without major opposition, considering his opinions of the third hokage.

Poor Sakura, she must be feeling terrible, this upcoming arc has to be my favourite, because of Sakura's character development, and Kakashi's surprising (spoiler spoiler spoiler)

so many good reviews, i must be missing something, cuz i was falling asleep thru this ep. maybe cuz i've read the manga and was hoping to actually understand where all this was going this time around, but nope, it's still going nowhere, useless plot threads all over the place, unnecessary meetings, just confusing.

These guys couldn't agree on the awesomeness of peanut butter and chocolate. It may actually be a good thing that Akatsuki popped in when they did. It was also nice to see that Sai, like possibly much of the viewing audience was tired of this self inclicted bullsh*t that was going on between Sasuke, Sakura and Naruto. It was much needed. Now the real question is will it change anything in a meaningful way. I have a feeling Sakura may do something stupid. Call it a hunch.

The animation for the eyes seemed a little bit strange in this episode. @_@

The next episode seems interesting.
The pacing is quite good.
And... action, finally, in the next episode. XD

Zetsu's sudden entrance reminded of the most awesome insane villain I've seen, Hidan! Pretty good episode, the slow pace is compensated for building so much tension and keep advancing the plot with pretty cool twists!

I don't really think that I was the least bit funny, more something like a really awesome Sai moment. honestly, I didn't really like him at the beginning, but his expression and his words really added fuel to my flames of anger - which I direct against Sakura. in this moment he should just have punched her in the face for all the pain Naruto suffered so far!

I've come to really like Sai, too! I remember hating him so much at the beginning. But that's the awesome thing about the Naruto series - there are so many characters who start out as so disagreeable and hard to like, but they usually turn into really great characters later on (usually through interaction with Naruto, it seems).

Naruto's face at the end, upon hearing Madara's voice? Yeah, that was what my face looked like. Freaked me out. He's way too sly! Just appearing randomly like that...

i thought it was a really good sai moment too. i flippin hate sakura i wished so bad that sai would've given her a good five star across the face. i also think its a really wasted plot element that naruto loves sakura. 1. it's a hopeless cause and 2. sakura doesn't treat him well at all. sai was really right in saying she caused a lot of naruto's pain. if it wasn't for that stupid promise i think naruto could end up killing sasuke to end the whole cycle of hate thing, although personally i hope this happens regardless.

i didn't feel any sympathy for sakura when she was crying either. she's upset because sasuke is a wanted criminal and the village can no longer accept him, and because she's been a terrible friend to naruto. someone needs to slap her honestly

@ Monad

I usually don't like your approach to the subject (and ooo boy, how you raged on this last post of yours) but this time I have to agree, Queen_Stars was badly needing a reality check if he really did get to those conclusions on his own and it's honestly not trolling! It gave me severe facepalms reading trough his post.

I still think trying to read anything homoerotic into this is a bit far fetched, It's just that Japanese REALLY blow out of proportion childhood relationships (and who am I to judge? I also do this in my own life ยฌยฌ), the fact that both of them have a big burden, a traumatic past and no family so to speak can really make things even more delineated.


totally agree here and with Monad's earlier post too. Can't add more to both your comments that just nailed it to the point.

But I think that Sai and Shikamaru also do have a point. Sasuke needs to be stopped and they shouldn't rely too much on Naruto. I don't say that a death sentence is the solution as I believe that there should be other means too than just to resolve to such extreme.

When Shikamaru said, that Sasuke's action just spread hate around the Shinobi-World it reminds me again, that Sasuke is actually a product of the present, rotten Shinobi world. Or a victim, as well as was Itachi. Hence why I can't hate but rather pity him.

Honestly though I understand how Sasuke was a comrade and all, but Sakura and Ino? Of all people are taking it too far like the guy doesn't even think about them. Atleast for Naruto he doesn't want to be compared to him but gimme a break.... Crying over the guy and he'd kill you in an instant if you got in his way? I can't deal. Unacceptable.

Sai did put it right though.... they ALL rely on Naruto too much, i mean main character and all, took out one of the pains in his first hit. Rest of the village couldn't do that, and he still doesn't use that power all the time. He doesn't even play on it... he could have taken out the two cloud ninja's but still went after his friends instead (they just get in the way half the time)

He's more grown up than the lot of them, and even though all his friends faults - he still loves them. He's always been in love with Sakura... no actual reasoning, he just has been.

But even when he was younger, he still swallowed it all just to see her happy which is why he made the promise in the first place. He wants her to be happy even if that means he isn't with her.... lets face it; it's why they want to follow him, he just IS. He can't even lie convincingly when he tries...

I was literally clapping my hands like a retarded seal this entire episode.

First Sai goes epic, then Shikamaru, then Danzo getting busted by someone with a Byakugan, and I still didn't manage to recover from Zetsu popping up when booom Madara shows up and I'm like WHAT ?!? :O lol

When Shikamaru said, that Sasuke's action just spread hate around the Shinobi-World it reminds me again, that Sasuke is actually a product of the present, rotten Shinobi world. Or a victim, as well as was Itachi. Hence why I can't hate but rather pity him.

OMG OMG FUCK. SO MANY SHIT HAPPENING IT'S SOOOO INTENSE GOD. I CAN't EVEN REMEMBER ALL THAT HAPPENED IS THIS 20 MINUTES!
I think Sakura ha to hear that from Sai because what he said is absolutely correct. I go to admit that when she was crying I thought: "Well, you deserve that, making such an empty request to Naruto and making him suffer all that time". Of courseI understand that most of Naruto's pain was cause by Sasuke but Sakura has a big part in that for sure. But then, I love it how Shikamaru said that, either way, they would do something to stop Sasuke because it is their responsability and I liked Sakura's reaction. I'm just wondering what they will do now...

Also, Danzou was manipulating that Mifune guy? Well, I understand that but the thing I don't understand is why; why would he want to be the lider of that Alliance? Maybe just 'cause of power? Hum, I don't quite get it... Oh, and he has Shisui's Sharingan? So, Itachi killed Shisui and Danzou stealled his Sharingan? Dirty bastard...
So, when they found out he was manipulating Mifune I guess that Alliance is as good as over right? And Zetsu appearing out of nowhere ahahaha so funny. BUT, why the hell would he do that? Was that planned by Madara? Is so, why? Maybe he wants to test Sasuke...

Yeah, I got really angry, mostly at Ino, crying about that. I mean, he is in AKATSUKI NOW. He supposedly kidnapped a jinchuriki. AND YOU ARE CRYING OVER A GUY LIKE THAT JUST CAUSE MORE THAN 3 years AGO YOU HAD A CRUSH ON HIM. OH COME ON . I was happy when Kiba told her to stop...

Anyway, seems that where will be some epic action next episode *.*

Aw man, this episode was so shocking!!
First part was emotionally powerful. I would have preferred if the confession came out on Naruto's mouth, but I am glad Sai said it now. Sai said it good and I have to agree on him. When he said "Even I can tell Naruto loves you" with that expression gave me goosebumps. He is a great character now, and Shikamaru is still awesome as always. I still don't find Sakura annoying like most people do. To me, she is just alright, but really, Sai should have at least slapped her or something I don't know.
Second, I didn't know that, that guy has a Byakugan (He said he stole it, must have a story), but I know that Danzou has Shisui's eye (I deduced it, actually), and that
, but I was surprised when he used Shisui's sharingan to manipulate them.
Third, Zetsu's "Hello" ahahaha. Gay ass motherfucker ahahaha. His voice and way of talking is hilarious.
Finally, I was waiting for Tobi to confront Naruto this episode, and it happened.
Shit is about to go down!!

Brilliant! Such high tension episode! From the preview last week I thought it would be an emo fest but they threw in enough EPICNESS to make it astonishing!!! Shippuden is just sooooo good at this moment ><

I am also really looking forward to see Sasuke's reasoning, I am pretty confident he will have a good one. I have quite a few theories but afraid to share them and unintentionally trow a huge spoil. ^^

Also mildly interested in see what Sakura will say to Naruto next time they meet. Hoping for something decent since I think her character needs some love after being utterly destroyed by a succession of huge fails.

Of course, all of this pales in comparison to the upcoming fights!!! It's amusing how week after week the episodes seem to be getting better ain't it?! Let's just hope the budget follows suit ¬¬


LOL, what she will say is just........*sigh*

This was one of the most intense episodes! Zetsu popping up in the middle of the conference was the perfect starting gun to all of the action.

Hah leave it to Sai to make Sakura realize what she's being doing to Naruto.

Okay, a sh**......I've never read the manga so the fact that the head of the atkatski cornered Naruto is freaking me out. Also, the last few minutes of the episode was filled with amazing intense action.

Also waiting for Naruto to freak out now that his crush has been reveled. (To like the only person who didn't know.)

I'm so glad Sai addressed the elephant in team 7's "room" lol. It's like he's the only sensible one. I get that Sasuke was their friend and all but can't they see he doesn't care about them or at least acts like it (which should put anyone off). Every time they encountered him he fought them clearly meaning he didn't want to go back, so I don't understand why they keep trying to "rescue" him or whatever. I do feel sad for them (team 7) tho but still.
Also, why is Sakura acting surprised about Naruto liking her, I thought she already knew?

How does Sai someone that’s not good at reading people know that Naruto loves Sakura. Naruto has never stated that once too her, Sai is basing that off the promise that Naruto and Sakura made. He thinks that Naruto is still doing it solely for Sakura when he is not.

You can tell Naruto doesn’t love Sakura , in Naruto Shippuden pt. 2 they didn’t have a lot of ship moments in the manga. They added filler but from the manga , their relationship stayed the same.

Damn things took for a turn so fast!

Danzou had the Sharingan of Shisui Uchiha. A close friend of Itachi and pretty much just like him. Hella strong. Also wasn't Itachi the one who was accused of killing Shisui when he didn't attend that Uchiha meeting or something?

Zetsu just jumps outta nowhere and screams "Hello !" Raikage gets a hold of him too lol.

Madara/Tobi ever so casually comes to meet up with Naruto lmao.

Oh my fucking god, it's as close to fight with the Pain as it could be in matter of emotions I felt while watching it:

1) Something powerful is coming, I can feel it.
2) My immense dislike for Sakura went on whole another level.
3) I feel like people of Konoha finally have some common sense in their minds regarding Sasuke.
4) Oh shit, I felt it in my veins that the thing with Shisui has to be something more, I can't wait for the reveal, my heart is hammering. And where's Itachi here?
5) Zetsu's entrance and his voice gave me chills, ngl.
6) I want to cry together with Naruto, I have no idea how this guy didn't give up on Sasuke yet - and whole another resect for living for over 3 years of his life loving someone that would never love him back.
7) Obito, what the fuck are you doing here?

Poor people who were watching Shippuuden as it was airing, this merciless cliffhanger...
