I really thought I'd skip this filler, but man, that snow scene at the end actually got me a little misty-eyed, which was totally unexpected. It's just so bizarre to suddenly introduce Yota as Naruto's secret childhood best friend when his whole deal was being a lonely outcast, it kind of throws me off. Still, watching him and the others trying to protect Yota from the ANBU felt like classic Naruto, always trying to save everyone.
