Another waste of time episode. Somehow the episode took place within three minutes. Sakura is so stupid, she kept saying she has three minutes of poison immunity throughout the entire episode, while she just stands there wasting time.

Just wow, nothing happened, Naruto still running, Kakashi almost blown up, and somehow it seems there's some type of tear in time and space since only over a minute elapsed from the end of the last episode to the end of this episode in Sakura's fight lol

Sakura: Chiyo ba-sama, I only have 3 minutes until the antidote stops working, we need to end this fight within that time, but before that let me tell you how I made my antidote......

..........wow lol

Uhmm.... The episode was "Gone in 60 seconds". :P

Ughh seriously, if they'd just omit the fillers here, you'd have a perfectly fine 5 eps or so with actual content. I mean if we look at what actually happened in these 25 eps, it wasn't really that bad. But the fact that it had to take 25 eps to get here.........(I somehow get remembered by the random "naruto following sasuke in the forest shouting his name" and the "shikamaru trying to shadow hand grip the chick around the same time"-scenes >.>
Kinda like how DBZ got boring with the random goku shots doing something pointless to get to the battlefield and save the day >.> )

But yeah, just like faust said. They first showed an entire ep just to show how they get from just outside the cave INTO the cave and now fill an entire ep which apparently only took 1 minute.......They'll prob make an entire ep filled with shock images (with maybe a couple of flashbacks we've already seen about a million times). >.<

---------

*Naruto, Sakura and Kakashi are in a forest and chased some random dude and are now standing in front of a guy who they all know well enough. Slowly the camera moves up until the viewer can see his face. It's Sasuke.*

*opening theme*

Naruto: "Sasuke..!!!"
Kakashi: "..." *makes a serious face*
Sakura: "Sa-...su-...ke...?"

*Flashbacks with shots of sasuke in action*

Naruto: "What's going on....SASUKE?!"
Sasuke: "heh"

*flashbacks with team 7 in good and bad times*

Naruto: "Come on Sasuke! This isn't funny anymore! Come back to the village!!"
Sakura: "SASUKE!!! PLEASE COME BACK!!"
Sasuke: "..." *looks away*

*Even more flashbacks about how Sasuke leaves the village*

Kakashi: "Watch out! Naruto, Sakura!"

*Something happens, but before you can make out what it is....*

*Ending theme*

Hmm, haven't watched it yet, but by the sounds of what you guys are saying about it, I might just skip it (since I already know what happens in the manga) and wait for the next episode. Then again, I'll probably end up watching it b/c that's just how I am. *Sigh*

I resent people saying how slow it is, etc..did you SEE the fillers? Probably not. They're taking extra care not to go back to that shit, and all everyone can do is complain about the pacing.

Don't like it? Don't watch it :)

It's not that easy. Many of us loved this anime to death back in the pre-filler days. Even if it is crappy now, we are still watching with the hope that it will get better someday and when we continue watching and it doesn't get better we are inevitably going to be dissapointed. Yet we will still be on DB's tracker every Thursday night keeping hope alive, thats just the way it is

well in regards to this ep, it was somewhat entertaining, but still not up to par. Kakashi and Naruto have been chasing Deidara for like 6 eps now? they somehow manage to stretch a minute in Sakura's fight over an entire episode...well that in itself is a superb achievement, hats off to them.

Personally, I think fillers are worth it if they would stop wasting time and stop butchering one of my favorite shows. At least fillers you can skip, knowing that garbage like that doesn't mean anything - its a filler, its not the real Naruto. But skipping one of these episodes is different as it actually impacts the story to an extent, so we're forced to watch people staring and saying redundant things with a couple important facts embedded within the time wasting garbage. I mean, its not like they have that little content to work with. They could probably get at least 70 + episodes out before even considering fillers Thats my opinion anyways.

On topic, I actually enjoyed this episode, one of the better Shippuuden episodes.

Alright, so there was a lot of needless fillerness to this episode, and many.. but I would still much prefer the dragged out fight scenes here than the horrible non-manga fillers that came before Shippuuden.
Even if Sakura's minutes were really really ridiculously long.

Doesn't matter, after she was done with that she still had 2 minutes and 50 seconds left :)

I kinda liked it.

Haha this episode discussion is gold.

Indeed, the fact that they can stretch 3 minutes in an episode is actually quite funny. Luckily Naruto isnt my all time favourite anime and I never read the Manga, otherwise i would be highly disappointed with the adaptation.

Naruto is someone who will kill the platoon because of his ego manner and stupid action. I always thinking that Naruto doesn't suit as the main character. Everyone tried to babysitting of him.

Evil KEN DOLL!

The problem with these episodes is not that Naruto is stupid and impulsive, but that the animation studio is stalling for time, episode to episode. The problem is constantly jumping back and forth between two groups, and for the longest time, there was nothing new on Naruto's end. The material of this anime is generally good, but it's not well adapted and paced. There should have been 2 straight episodes of Sakura and granny vs Sasori, uninterrupted; an episode for Naruto and Kakashi chasing Deidera. All the animators are interested in is cutting corners in the animation and stalling for time.

three minutes DBZ style xD

finally little developing in naruto "battle".

and sakura hasn't really done nothing.

but still the episode was kinda entertaining when they don't do guy team mirror fights.

EDIT: i just got enlightened by kakashi: "it won't be worth the time of doing stare battle with those spiders" (true line with slight changed) = damn i don't want naruto to become DBZ stare battle, we did enough jumping on woods for like 3-4 episodes xD

Welp how many tricks does Sasori have up his sleeves? Also how can he turn himself into a puppet? He would have to operate on himself and what not. Also nothing much happened in this episode. Sakura kept saying that she had 3 mins left for like 10 minutes.
