Naruto and Guren teaming up for that giant rasengan was cool but the pacing is still slow because of all those flashbacks about the flowers
asuna_angel_100
You can really see Guren going all out with that crystal style against the three tails and it looks way better than most filler jutsus usually do
piko_pixel
I actually felt bad for Guren when Renji stabbed her out of nowhere and Kabuto is just the worst kind of person for using Yukimaru as a battery
zenitsu_zap
Guren literally throwing herself in front of that massive Three-Tails attack with her Crystal Style completely stunned me. I didn’t expect her to go that far for Yukimaru, which really sealed the deal on her changed allegiance for me and made me wonder just how much he means to her now.

Ugh, I swear this filler arc feels like it's dragging on forever, and honestly, I'm just so over Kabuto's whole weird vibe right now. I just wanna see what the Akatsuki are actually up to again, 'cause this feels like a detour from all the intense stuff we were getting.

Seriously, the constant flashbacks to scenes we just watched were making me want to fast forward, but then Guren completely snuck up on me – I'm actually rooting for her now. My stomach dropped right along with hers when she figured out that *she* was the one who killed Yukimaru's mom because of that distinctive red camellia. Now I'm totally stressed, hoping she somehow survives this monstrous turtle assault.

I was genuinely surprised to see Guren put herself in harm's way for Yukimaru; it really makes me think she's got a softer side than I ever expected from an Orochimaru subordinate. It just goes to show she's totally different from those other Sound ninja who only care about themselves, actually having some genuine loyalty and affection.

Wait, the Three Tails *really* just ate Naruto and Guren like that? I was totally blindsided by that ending, and now I'm just hoping they can find some crazy way to escape its gut, maybe with Kurama's help again.
luxord_455
Guren really had some nerve calling Naruto stupid even while they were literally about to drown in that massive wave! I mean, my jaw dropped at her priorities, but then again, that's just so her, isn't it? It just reminded me of all the times other characters have underestimated him, even when he's doing something wild.
schierke_the_witch_193
Ugh, I was so mad watching Rinji betray Guren like that, it just felt so cheap and nasty. And Kabuto just standing there, letting it happen, totally proves he's got no loyalty to anyone but himself.
mewtwo_304
My patience was really wearing thin with all those constant flashbacks, I swear I've seen some of those scenes a dozen times already. But then when Naruto and Guren actually joined forces to go for the giant turtle's eye, I was genuinely surprised and kinda pumped, it made the whole slog worthwhile.

Yukimaru just going completely feral caught me so off guard; I mean, this is the kid who just quietly observes flowers, so to see him unleash that raw power felt like a huge betrayal of his gentle nature, making me seriously question what kind of messed-up past he's hiding.
tengu_tempest_61
I swear, I was about to scream with how many flashbacks they crammed into this episode; seeing Yukimaru cry for the umpteenth time just pulled me right out of the flow, and I was really trying to get invested in the current fight. It's frustrating when they keep rehashing the same emotional beat over and over.
erwin_enigma_108
When Guren started shielding Yukimaru, my heart genuinely ached for her; it's like she finally found someone to fight for, completely changing my view of her. Discovering the red camellia's true meaning after that just hit me with such a wave of tragic irony, making me think she might finally face her own past mistakes because of him.
sasha_necron_157
Ugh, I was so annoyed by how long that fight on the water went on, like, why were they just standing there yapping about the Three Tails' weak spot instead of actually going for it? It felt like they were dragging their feet, and it totally pulled me out of the action.
megumi_mantra
Ugh, I really can't stand Rinji right now for how he just totally betrayed Guren, like, seriously? And honestly, Kabuto being all smug and creepy about it just makes my skin crawl even more; I swear he lives for messing with people.
eri_359
My stomach dropped when Guren finally connected the dots and realized she was the one who took Yukimaru's mom away; no wonder she's been so frantic to keep him safe. It makes me wonder if she truly believes she can ever atone for that, or if this protective instinct is just a desperate attempt to outrun her own past.
puck_paws
Yukimaru glowing with all that chakra bursting out, I actually flinched thinking he was gonna explode right there, it looked so painful. I couldn't help but wonder if he was doing it for Guren, pushing himself past his limits even if it meant tearing himself apart just to control that terrifying Three-Tails.
nobara_nail_135
That visual of the pure white flower just soaking up Guren's blood and turning crimson really got to me, you know? It made her whole redemption arc feel so much more visceral, like she's literally bleeding out her past self for a chance at something new, and it left me wondering if she could ever truly wash that stain away.

Okay, Guren's crystal jutsu fighting the Three-Tails in the water was seriously cool; I honestly didn't expect her to hold her own that well, which makes me wonder if she's got more up her sleeve than just protecting Yukimaru.
EPISODE CONTEXT
Episode 106 falls deep within the extended Three-Tails filler arc, following a failed sealing attempt that has unleashed chaos and forced characters into desperate positions. It builds directly on the fallout from episode 105 and escalates stakes heading into 'Strange Bedfellows,' where unlikely alliances begin to form. This stretch of filler runs well past the canon material, so viewers tracking only manga-adapted content can safely skip ahead.
