Do the people who make these filler arcs even watch the show, they always seem to get events out of order. If they really wanted to show some episodes from right after the invasion of pain arc they should have made this then instead of those other filler-flashbacks that also get events out of order.
Flashbacks are fine, fillers are fine, fillers that are flashbacks mess up the story.
Also whats with that lady's lips, did she get stung by a bee or something?

Honestly the best fillers/filler arc I've seen in any show. This was pleasant to watch.
5/5.

Pretty good stuff for what it was. Kind of dumb that he had a semi-Nine-Tails mode going on, but whatever. I'm convinced that this was a movie, but they decided to use it as filler instead for whatever reason. It's got the animation quality of a movie, and it even ended in a special type of Rasengan, which is a staple of the Naruto movies. (Seriously - go check it out. All of the movies end in some ridiculous type of Rasengan. There is one slight exception that ends with just a normal Rasengan, but I forgot which one. The 3rd Shippuuden movie maybe?)

Yeah, I agree with you as well, 'caue there's no way this arc can exist. It is just impossible for it to have happened, but well, all that's forgiven cause it's obvious that it was meant to be a movie. And it has happened before, there was at least one movie (I think it was blood prison, if I'm not mistaken) that didn't fit anywhere. But well, ignoring that, it was a good arc, but no mroe than good....

Anyway, lets get to the epic stuff *.* *.* *.*

I don't get it with the laser looking attacks, it wasn't the same attack, but in a previous episode part of a mountain or hill was gone, but Naruto was still intact. What did Yamato mean with it's not his kyuubi form? Protecting The Hole isn't Dokku's duty anymore, because he was fired... What's with Yamato having his eyes closed and his head turned away during the farewell? Why did Sai need chakra? Did he use that much in his previous battle? Who was that person that faded away? Isn't there normally a seal on his belly?

Who would have ever thought he would have to pull her up a cliff?
That chick really needs to learn to stay away from cliffs, you think she would have learned the first time. Lol

Anyways, I loved the entire arc. Animation was beautiful. I think it would have done well as a Naruto movie.
I am excited to get back to canon episodes though.

Firstly, glad I'm not the only one who grasped the fact that this was clearly a movie. It may have been done specifically for the series to celebrate 500 episodes, as others have said, but it unmistakably follows the same format as prior movies. For one, it doesn't exactly revolve around Naruto and team helping someone so much as it revolves around the people Naruto and team are helping. Then there's the animation style, the flow of the story, and of course things from canon story being hinted at just when they make an appearance in the canon anime, such as Naruto's protomorphic Kyuubi mode and unstable Bijuu mode, as well as his bijuu-dama.

Remember, sage mode was in "Blood Prison" roughly around the same time it appeared in the anime, and Fuuton Rasen-shuriken showed up in "The Will of Fire", again around the same time as it appeared in the anime. And finally there's the closing credit sequence and epilogue scene, both staples of the movies.

Clearly it was a movie.

Secondly, how can you be an anime fan and not know that the Japanese very often tend to use familial terms to refer to non-family members, especially "onii-san" and "onee-san"? Those two are most commonly used to address someone slightly older than yourself, up to a few years. After a certain point they graduate to "Oji-san" and Oba-san" (if I recall correctly), meaning Uncle or Aunt. People in America say similar things, like calling male friends "bro" or "brother", "Pops" for older males, etc. It's just much more common in Japan.

I do believe this was the best filler arc so far. Any that come after this will be hard pressed to beat it. It was movie quality.

Loved Shiseru, Dokku, and the kids. The story behind Naruto's new form was awesome too.

So that was actually a really good filler!!!
Some other things:
-Am I the only one confused on them getting married???? I thought they were brother and sister? (Never-mind it was nicknames but still weird)
-Also, where this takes place in the time line makes like 0 sense, but it’s a filler so idk.

They were not related. So it is not confusing. They were childhood friends and loved each other from the beginning. It is just that Dock felt guilty because he wasn't strong enough to save her then and that's why he left for so long. I wouldn't say 0 sense. I believe it could take place right after Tsunade wakes up from her coma (she gives them the mission) and also after Naruto's encounter with Sasuke (shown in a flashback). So, everything happens before Naruto travels to the island to train. Well, I really liked the story. Naruto's role as an older brother was nice to see. He has the personality and the kindness to fit that role perfectly. However, everything at the end felt rushed but being able to see the speed of the kyubi mode was enough. Strange things I noticed: all the konoha shinobis suddenly dissapeared from action. Yamato's face during the farewell (tried not to cry?) Sakura shouting Naruto's name while crying is already a cliche and feels cringy.

I’m very very very concerned. This woman in sub kept referring to the fatman as her brother?/? Wtf? Were they actually siblings? That’s really disgusting. It’s such a shame because the animation was good and the story was above average-filler wise... the incest really threw me off though :(

I think I now understand why people were saying it was probably a movie that got scrapped and was retained on the series instead. It had the same story flow and also the usual "end of the world" theme that comes with a movie. The end credits being shown the way it was confirms that.

The down side to this though is that it messed up the timeline. It should fit somewhere after pain arc and before war arc, but showing Naruto in kyuubi chakra mode just threw out of place.

Such a bullshit episode. Bruh Naruto shouldn't have even been able to get that Kyuubi chakra form and that full on kyuubi mode. This was happening after the Pain arc so he didn't even meet Bee yet. Wtf was that. Totally shitty arc with amazing animation. Finally these suck-ass fillers are over.

Great mini-series. The ending was okay (it did end up devolving into a kind of stereotypical naruto movie ending). It was kind of like an alternate universe timeline of how naruto got that power, and also a somewhat believable story of how Kabuto got so damn ugly.
