EPISODE REVIEWS

Go to time stamp 8:37 to skip the recap. As the title says, Naruto makes some incredibly stupid decisions in this episode, I remember even doing a facepalm when I watched it the first time. The battle felt slow but I guess it's because Haku's jutsu needs to be explained.

It sets the stage for the next stretch of episodes, which will explore the full emotional and combat consequences of this confrontation, including critical developments around the Sharingan.
