VerifiedThis episode is skippable, not much important information except from Kabuto meeting some woman who can use Crystal kekkei genkai sort of
saria
I think the show is hitting a slow spot and most of this feels like filler fluff but watching Konohamaru pull off that sexy jutsu brought back some early series nostalgia
tanuki_trickster_41
Seeing the ANBU guys talk about cleaning up their own corpses is a dark detail that adds a lot to how grim the hidden leaf village can actually be
kappa_king
It is crazy hearing Kakashi say Naruto is basically his equal or even stronger now because we have watched him struggle for so many years to get here
orihime_omnipotent
Tsunade really shut Naruto down with that ban on Rasen Shuriken and seeing his hand all mangled from the cellular damage was actually pretty scary
hollow_ichigo
I'm seriously curious about Yukimaru, that kid definitely has some strange pull towards the Three-Tails, and honestly, it just makes me wonder what kind of twisted plan Orochimaru has cooking up for him and Guren. I mean, he's always got something up his sleeve, doesn't he?
maria_campbell
Okay, so when Kakashi was feeding Naruto, I actually got a little misty-eyed; it felt like such a dad moment for Kakashi, especially seeing how much he usually keeps his distance. It really showed me how much he cares, even when he tries to play it cool.
igos_du_ikana
Whoa, I was genuinely surprised by how much I ended up liking this Guren and Yukimaru filler arc; it just flowed so much better than most side stories. But Naruto’s arm getting absolutely annihilated by his own Rasenshuriken? My stomach dropped watching that, and it's crystal clear why Tsunade would forbid such a dangerous jutsu—he nearly took himself out! I'm holding out hope that Jiraiya finds a way for him to safely harness that power, because my boy needs to survive to become Hokage, not self-destruct.
deku_285
Heading back to Mount Myoboku with Jiraiya has me seriously pumped for what new, wild training they'll cook up after the last session was so crazy. I'm dying to see how the pervy sage plans to get around that Rasenshuriken ban; it's gotta be something ingenious, and probably super ridiculous knowing him.
gobta_goblin_154
I'm honestly a bit frustrated that this is turning into a filler arc already, especially after such a tense fight with Kakuzu. It feels like a mood killer after all that action, but at least seeing Tsunade get super serious about forbidden jutsu makes me remember why she's such a strong Hokage, even when she's normally kinda laid back.
pippin_the_giant
I really liked seeing Kakashi take charge of the tracking team with Kiba, Shino, and Hinata; it just felt so right to have him guiding their unique skills, and I was honestly pretty excited to see how their combined talents would play out on this mission. It felt like a much-needed breath of fresh air for that particular group after everything.
orihime_oracle_103
I gotta say, Guren's crystal style was actually pretty cool and super unique for an anime-original character, which totally surprised me. Her interactions with Orochimaru definitely elevate her beyond just another filler villain, making me wonder what her true motives are underneath that intimidating exterior.
koromodako_74
Okay, I was genuinely caught off guard when Konohamaru pulled out that sexy jutsu variant; it’s wild how he still tries to emulate Naruto, even the goofy stuff like that. It really made me chuckle, seeing him so dedicated to following in his idol’s footsteps, especially with such a ridiculous move.
tokay
Tsunade's declaration that Naruto couldn't use the Rasenshuriken anymore felt like a punch to the gut for me, especially after everything he just put on the line. Seeing Kakashi carefully feed him ramen, with Naruto still so battered, made me wonder if he'd ever truly recover from the toll that power took.
taka_onna_temptress_26
Honestly, I'm usually so ready to skip filler, but this whole thing with Yukimaru and the Three-Tails has me genuinely curious. I mean, it's such an unexpected twist, and now I'm actually wondering if this arc might deliver something good.
mewtwo_304
Ugh, when Tsunade absolutely blew up at Naruto for messing himself up with that Rasenshuriken, I totally felt her frustration. It made me realize just how terrified she is of losing another important person after all the sacrifices she's endured, and it makes his reckless determination feel even heavier during his training.
toga_260
Ugh, I was so bummed when they went into filler after that insane arc, but watching Naruto really struggle with how much damage he caused, even accidentally, kinda made me feel for him. It's a stark reminder that even heroes have to face the fallout of their power, which I think he truly needed after everything.
weebirez
I totally get why they sent Team 8 after Orochimaru; Hinata’s Byakugan and Kiba’s nose are perfect for sniffing out a hidden lair. Honestly, I bet Kakashi knew those two would be key, even if he didn't say it outright.
kenpachi_killer_104
This crystal style jutsu from Guren absolutely floored me, I mean, it's so visually distinct from the typical fire and lightning attacks we're used to seeing. I can't help but think about how a power this unique might actually throw a wrench in the Akatsuki's plans down the line; it feels like it could genuinely shake things up.
ulquiorra_uber
I kinda felt the pacing drag a bit after that epic Kakashi and Shikamaru showdown, but man, watching Naruto struggle so hard with his new jutsu just makes me want to cheer him on, even if it's tough to watch him fail over and over.
EPISODE CONTEXT
Coming directly off the grueling Kakuzu confrontation, this episode handles the aftermath — the physical and emotional cost of pushing beyond limits. It functions as a transitional chapter, shifting the team's focus from recovery toward the next major objective: tracking down Orochimaru's hideout. Essential connective tissue that recharges the narrative before the stakes escalate again.
