Two ANBU squads must be really serious. Poor guys, Naruto and Sasuke and Sakura!!! Their enemy is beyond their capacity =(
But hmm... I like Naruto going berserk and calling Sasuke a scaredy cat ^__^
It's good <yokatta> that Sasuke returned to normal in the end <3

So the chunnin squad, reports to anko and discovers there is an imposter in the chunnin exam. That apparently killed 3 people that graduated before they had the chance to enter the forest of death. To bad for them, that is so unfair in the life of a ninja, there journey was just beginning but yet ended before they even had the chance to prove them selfs. Things are getting interesting. :p

yeah when ever "AMBU" is called into action it means the village is on a high security alert. The ambu are like one of the highest elite and strongest ninja squads under the command of the hokage.

Fucking great scene with Naruto calling Sasuke a scaredy cat, a great twist on a scene earlier in the series. Naruto himself is starting to grow on me and props for Sakura having enough presence of mind to save Naruto. It's kind of cool, though, to see Sasuke so stressed out here considering how he's normally pretty confident.

I do wonder how the snake guy knows so much about Naruto or is the nine tailed fox event a well known happening?

sasuke's fear of his brother and his thoughts about being weak and running away that his brother caused resemble killua's thoughts in an unbelievable way. GREAT EP THO.

I'm so happy that Naruto finally got to save Sasuke and use his line against him! The whole group needs to come together and realize that they are all beneficial to each other in their own ways. They always end up doing much better when they work together. I love Naruto's Fox Spirit, and Sasuke's Sharingan. Hopefully, they learn to hone those skills and use them to their benefit.

Nice to see the return of some of the Nine-Tails power as they really needed something in this fight to buy themselves more time, Time to see if Sasuke has what it takes to fight now!

Geez, I like Sakura in general, and keep waiting for the chance when she'll finally show her strength and start to shine alongside Naruta and Sasuke... but she's kind of starting to piss me off a little bit. What right does she have to stand there and scream at Sasuke for not doing anything and acting like a coward, when she has done NOTHING combat-wise this entire series so far! At least she saved Naruto from falling and didn't expect Sasuke to do that for her too...

Other than Sakura, this was a great episode! I was hoping to see Naruto do more fighting with his fox powers, but that ended too quickly. Let's hope Sasuke stops pissing himself long enough to actual fight back now. ★5/5

It's surprising that Sasuke was gave up their scroll in order to have the snake person leave them alone. I understand that their lives are more important than passing the exam, since they'll still have chances in the future if they make it out alive, but Naruto was right. How do they know that the snake guy will just let them live? I agree about how it's interesting that Naruto and Sasuke's position just switched around, Naruto was the scaredy cat in the last arc, but this time, it's Sasuke. That genjutsu earlier really did a number on him (and Sakura). Although good thing that Sakura was able to snap out of it and save Naruto from falling all the way down.

Anko knows something, and she knows the infiltrators are really dangerous! Dangerous enough for two ANBU teams. It's no wonder Sasuke and Sakura were shaking from fear.

This show is starting to get very interesting and getting me on edge. Besides Sakura having good aim and saving Naruto from falling to his death, I wish she would do more than stand around and say "Sasuke-kun!".

Did that snake creature's spell just put the fox power dormant again for a while? Or what happened there with the tattoos on his stomach?

I'm starting to like Naruto as a character. He's way less obnoxious at this point in the show. Sasuke is still my favorite among the trio. I understand his fear. When you're up against someone who's more powerful than you in every way, you've gotta accept your defeat with minimum casualties. I'm not sure the snake lady/guy would have let them go, though. Their objective is still not clear at this point, but I see where Sasuke is coming from. Sakura, on the other hand, has no right to call Sasuke out and tell him he's doing nothing when all she has done so far is stand around and scream his name. I honestly can't bring myself to like her even a little.
