It really hurt my heart hearing about how Aoi manipulated Idate into betraying his own village and I just want to see Idate finish this race now
ram_rage_145
I can't believe how much I'm actually enjoying this filler arc because usually they are so boring, but Idate's past with his old sensei is actually really sad, seeing Naruto use the Rasengan underwater to blow away those Rain ninja was easily the best part of the whole episode and it makes me want to see more creative jutsu like that

Aoi is surprisingly terrifying for a filler villain and the way he totally wrecked the team with those needles makes the stakes feel way higher than usual
jessie
I loved seeing Naruto use his shadow clones to make that Rasengan under the water and that massive whirlpool was such a cool way to deal with those Rain ninja
theanimewarlord
Naruto giving that big speech to get Idate back on his feet was such a classic Naruto moment and you can tell he really cares about helping this guy win
hitotsume_kozo_31
Sakura pretending to be passed out just to get Sasuke to kiss her was so funny and then she immediately wakes up and punches Naruto the second he tries to help instead
violet_evergarden_168
Watching Sakura try to bait Sasuke into giving her mouth to mouth and then she just loses it when Naruto gets too close to her face
navi
That underwater Rasengan move was such a cool twist on his normal technique and the visual of the water tornado hitting the Rain genin was great
destron
Aoi is actually terrifying for a random filler villain and seeing him poison the whole team makes it look like they might not even finish the race
zerotwofan
The scene where Naruto used that whirlpool rasengan under the water was the only thing that kept the episode interesting today, because the rest of this tea mission is honestly kind of boring. Idate is such a frustrating character to follow and he just lets that rain ninja beat him up instead of using his training to actually win the race
sasuke_shadow_62
Watching Idate complain while Team 7 does all the work for him is getting exhausting and he really needs to just run faster because this race is taking forever
flat
That underwater tornado move made me so happy because it was a really smart way to use his clones and it actually looked cool
puck_the_elf
It is so annoying how Naruto is just trying to help but Sakura keeps being mean to him even after he tried to save her life in the water and he deserves better
romani_274
Sasuke and Sakura getting poisoned by that rain guy felt so high stakes even though this is a filler arc and it was a bit scary seeing them go down like that
kitto_katsu
The music during the fight with that green-haired guy was actually really good, but the race arc is still a struggle to care about since it is just filler
malon
I was yelling at my screen because why is Idate still wearing those heavy weights during a literal race when he could just take them off and win and it makes no sense
mikasasimp
The whirlpool rasengan Naruto did underwater was actually so cool for a filler episode and it was just awesome seeing the clones spin like that to take out the rain ninjas
misha_necron
I can't believe Sakura was really trying to bait Sasuke into giving her mouth to mouth and then Naruto tried to do it instead and honestly this show is way too funny for its own good
diorukia
This whole episode felt like it could have been ten minutes long if they didn't spend so much time on Idate crying about his teacher and his old village
diantha_329
The fact that Aoi was a Konoha sensei who just ditched for the Rain village makes him such a jerk and hopefully Idate actually beats him
EPISODE CONTEXT
Episode 104 continues the Land of Tea Escort Mission filler arc, following the high-seas confrontations of the previous episode and shifting focus to Idate's troubled past with Aoi. It serves as the arc's dramatic pivot point, building toward the final confrontations that will resolve the mission. Sitting nearly halfway through Naruto's 220-episode run, this stretch falls squarely in filler territory between major canon arcs.
