Sazanami got done so dirty by those villagers and seeing him finally clear his name was the only part that mattered because the actual villain was just some boring thief
hawks_eye_387
You can definitely skip this one if you are in a rush to finish the series but Sazanami is a cool enough character if you stay
hunterxhunter_
Everything about this hunt was so obvious from the start and it is basically just a distraction from the main plot at this point
malon
It is a decent enough story for a filler arc, and while the ending was predictable it was nice to see a happy ending for Sazanami after all that trouble

Sazanami fighting with his blade was really cool to me because he felt like a real threat compared to the villain
tsuyu_tsunami_125
The way Gosunkugi went down so fast was kind of a joke and he did not live up to the hype of his bounty at all
soei_shadow_153
Sazanami really carried this whole thing even if the rest of the episode felt like standard filler stuff, and I liked how his backstory actually made me care about him winning. It is too bad Gosunkugi was such a boring bad guy because the bounty hunt could have been way cooler if he actually put up a real fight
link_261
You really have to feel bad for Sazanami because he just wanted his life back and he was way more interesting than the actual villain
shussebora_56
This is just another filler episode that goes exactly where you think it will and it makes me want to start Shippuden already
great_fairy
I expected way more from Gosunkugi with that massive bounty and he turned out to be a total pushover in the end
inosuke_instinct_129
Sazanami using those swords was actually pretty slick and he deserved to clear his name after being framed like that

i honestly do not know why i keep watching these filler arcs because this showdown at the temple was nothing special and i felt like sazanami had a boring story that ended too quickly for me to care and honestly the only reason to stay tuned was for that brief naruhina energy which is the only thing keeping this show afloat right now
jolyne_cujoh
the temple setting looked okay, but the resolution of sazanami and his past did not really land with much impact
kyogre_307
gosunkugi is a total joke of a villain and it makes the leaf ninja look weak for struggling with him for even a second
kaito_kromatic
hinata being in the mix was the highlight for me even if she did not do much against that weird thief guy
tsundylan
another week of waiting for the real story to start while we watch naruto help out some random bounty hunter nobody cares about
yuki_onna_yuki_76
the ok temple is such a weird name for a place and the whole showdown felt just as mediocre as the title implies
zerotwolover
the fight animation was decent enough for a filler, and at least naruto got to do something cool with his shadow clones
griffith_the_hawk
you can tell when the studio is just killing time because the fight at the temple had no stakes and boring villains
kiawe
i was mostly just waiting for naruto and hinata to have a moment but the actual plot with sazanami felt like a chore to get through
EPISODE CONTEXT
Sitting at episode 160 of 220, this falls deep into Naruto's extended filler stretch between the Search for Tsunade arc's aftermath and the series finale. It directly continues the story begun in the previous episode, 'Bounty Hunter from the Wilderness,' which introduced Sazanami and established Team 8's involvement in his quest. This episode wraps up that two-part mini-arc before the series transitions into new standalone filler missions.
