Some more info about Akatsuki... and, as if to make up for lost time, Pein didn't shut up for the whole episode xD

It was a so, so episode..

I actually really enjoyed this episode. The pacing wasn't terrible, there was some extra drama added. I REALLY enjoyed the Sai and Sakura talk. Naruto finally figures his shit out and there were some great laughs. It pretty much had a good blend of comedy, tragedy, and friendship but at the same time kept the story moving forward...

i don't see why they can't keep it like this everyweek... good pace, won't catch up to manga, satisfying for the week... if it came everyweek.. then yay! but noo... they're bakas... oh well. Nothing I can do but keep watching and hope it stays like this.

Pretty good episode, except for the long explanation of Akatsuki's goals; i already knew what their overall goal was anyway. Everyone did.

jiji sakura and sai`s conversation wwas good
its good that they revealed some more things about akatsuki
they have a weird yet good plan
i cant belive naruto took so much to figure out how two use the wind-rasengan or wtvr combo
they explained how jutsus can ome from pretty stupid things
next one is azuma`s funeral nd shikamari got emo



he actually is going to use a ninja sword....the only one i have seen in al the anime

was a decent episode.. man, we all know the story.. the flash backs are not necessary! it's not like first time watchers and these flashbacks are supposed to help them catch up..
so, since he is the only with that much chakra he's the only able to do the technique?? man, he has to learn how to shape rasengen by himself ~ since shadowclones divide up his remaining chakra .. it seems like such a waste~ tho, i have read the manga. using 3 clones to do that technique every time is so tedious.

Zero_r2, where's that icon of yours from?

I didn't mind this episode either. It was decently paced compared to previous ones have been, and seeing more kyubi was cool. It sucks that Naruto needs to split things up so much. Eventually he's going to be like Power Ranger team, and need 5 to do anything effective. :P
I reject your reality, and substitute my own.

And yeah, crappy technique, he can't even do it alone :/ and it's just another kind of rasengan ugh, and still close range :-/

My thoughts exactly. I usually end up disappointed with an episode like this but I really enjoyed it. Good pacing, Akatsuki developments and some funny moments. Also Naruto was a lot more bearable this chapter- 4/5 ^_^

This was a meh episode and Pein did talk alot. Asuma's death needs to get out of the way so we can see Shikamaru vs. Hidan part 2.

There was also some mild shounen ai in this episode with:

Kakashi x Naruto
Kotetsu x Izumo

Lawl.

I thought this episode was good :)
It was interesting seeing Naruto's progression. I found it kind of funny how Kakashi was kidding around with the whole left right thing and Naruto actually seemed to find meaning in it. The Sai and Sakura conversation was enlightening on the fact that Sai's getting used to being around people in a friendly way.

Learning about the Akatsuki's plans was interesting, I was intrigued to some point until I realized Pein loved to talk~ xP Lol, but typical bad guy take over the world just with some brains added in xD It was good - and I see Deidara is still there ^_^

Can't wait for the next episode.
It seems as though once Asuma's funeral is concluded - Shikamaru's setting out for revenge~ :)

This is a lost of time, Akatsuki saved this episode from a complete disaster.

But I think the next episode will be much better

The theme song makes Naruto just seem so awesome again; I'm really hoping that shippuuden can bring me back to the old days when I loved the original naruto so much... This could up my rating of the show

It was a good episode.
I liked the conversation Sai had with Sakura, and what happened between Naruto and Kakashi xD.

It was annoying though, Pein kept talking for what seemed forever...

Oh well. I can't wait for the next episode. [:

Naruto would only need one clone in all honesty because he can gather the chakra himself and get his clone to do the wind manipulation.

Okay episode, the Sai Sakura talk was okay, the look on Kakashi's face when he heard the news was quite well done, and the last bit was stupid until the punchline.

seriously, the only way he's going to hit with that is if the enemy lets him. and even then I'm not sure he'll be able to manage it with all those clones in the way :/
I had thought of this method the moment he mentioned looking two ways at once like 3-4 episodes ago but had hoped that it wouldn't turn out like this and that he'd grow a brain and make a technique that actually had some chance of being moderately useful in a battle. I guess hoping for Naruto to be anything but lame really is asking too much.

Really good episode, I for one really liked the scene between Sakura and Sai and the scene with the Akatsuki leader talking about his plan. Sure, it kind of sucks it's just another world domination plan but the way it was done was pretty cool.

Naruto may not be the smartest ninja around but he deserves more credit for being an outside-the-box thinker. Maybe that's why Kakashi said he liked him :D
