those squad formation spots with kiba in the front and neji watching the back were actually brilliant
hosenki
chunin shikamaru acting like a real leader and picking the team based on their scouting skills was something you have to respect

I feel like sending a bunch of kids after Sasuke is asking for trouble because they are basically fighting the Sound Four and Orochimaru alone, and even though Tsunade says all the other ninjas are busy it still seems risky since Naruto is a secret weapon, and you would think they would find at least one adult to go with them

The way Naruto looked at Sakura when he promised to bring Sasuke back, I just knew he was taking on something huge. It felt less like just a promise and more like a vow, making me wonder if he truly grasped the immense personal cost that might come with it.

neji joining the squad was such a surprise and you can tell he might work well with the others

sakura crying at the gate and begging naruto to bring sasuke back was pretty hard to watch
adachigahara_ace_11
i still have that image in my head of naruto giving that thumbs up to sakura while she was crying her eyes out

i was glad choji and kiba got picked for the team because they finally have a chance to show their actual power, especially since lee is still hurt and stuck in the hospital
hakudoshi
shikamaru drawing that formation diagram on the ground to lead his first mission shows he is ready for this
tingle
It sucks that Sasuke really chose Orochimaru over his friends, but seeing the village pull together this specific group of guys was really exciting
professor_oak
Naruto telling Sakura he would definitely bring Sasuke back felt like such a huge moment for him and the look in his eyes was different
gagoze_ghoul_75
I felt so bad seeing Rock Lee still in his hospital bed while everyone else is heading out to go save their friend
hari_257
That final shot of the whole squad at the gate ready to leave felt so heavy because they are all really risking their lives now
zamazenta
Choosing Choji for the team was actually great because Shikamaru knows he is reliable even when everyone else is doubting him
erwin_enigma_108
Getting Neji and Kiba in the same squad feels like a massive advantage because those tracking skills are going to be perfect for finding Sasuke
lulu
My heart actually broke for Sakura when she started crying, and I really hope Naruto can keep that promise he made at the gate
kenpachi_berserker
Shikamaru finally got promoted and he is already carrying the whole plan with that tactical lineup and the way he assigned everyone showed he knows exactly how they fight
jun_jun_389
I still cant believe Sasuke just left Sakura on that bench and walked away because she was literally begging him to stay
espadada_grimmjow_460
shikamaru assigning everyone a specific spot in the forest line is so clever and it really shows why he is the one in charge
ikkaku_iron
everything feels so heavy now that sasuke is gone and you can tell this chase is going to change these kids forever if they even survive
EPISODE CONTEXT
Sitting at the halfway mark of Naruto's 220-episode run, Episode 110 launches one of the series' most iconic arcs — the Sasuke Retrieval Mission. It follows directly from the emotional gut-punch of Sasuke's departure from the Hidden Leaf Village, shifting the focus entirely to the pursuit. Everything that follows — the individual battles, the sacrifices, and the defining confrontations — traces back to the squad assembled here.
