Any episode where the village praises Naruto is a good episode. The effect of the original Naruto effect is still very much felt still, even after the payoff on Pain arc.

Episode Context

Coming directly after 'Kakashi Hatake, the Hokage,' which dealt with leadership transitions and political shifts, this episode pivots toward Naruto's individual destiny and the village's collective preparation for war. It functions as a critical bridge, grounding the narrative in prophecy and strategy before the story accelerates into the tactical decisions explored in 'Storage.' At episode 220 of 500, the series is firmly in its escalation phase toward large-scale conflict, and this installment ensures both the protagonist and the audience are properly oriented for what's ahead.
