Gaara killing Dosu like it was nothing on that roof is terrifying and the way he talked about the moon is creepy
todoroki_twin
Hayate got done so dirty by the sand ninja and it really sucks since he was one of the cooler proctors
jadeite_377
I was actually starting to like Dosu but Gaara just ended him without even blinking and it made me realize how scary he actually is
misa_misa
Kabuto and Baki meeting in secret totally changed the stakes and now Konoha is in way more danger than anyone realizes
ittan_momen
The new opening song is such a great addition, it really makes the upcoming tournament feel like a huge deal with all the foreshadowing for the Sannin
kunzite
The new opening song sounds great and it fits the mood perfectly especially since Hayate just died and the village is being targeted by an actual conspiracy
koromodako_74
I was so shocked when Baki killed Hayate so quickly, and the reveal that the Sand and Sound are working together really changes everything for the exams
subaru_sufferer
Jiraiya is way too perverted and it makes his scenes hard to watch even if he is supposed to be some legendary ninja mentor for Naruto
erwin_enigma_108
Hayate dying was so sudden and sad because he was just doing his job and now the village has no idea about the invasion
diablo_demon_155
Watching Gaara kill Dosu without even moving was so cold and it makes the rest of the Chunin Exams feel dangerous
yanari_yurei
The way Jiraiya acts at the hot springs is honestly pretty gross and I hope he tones that down, but seeing him realize what Orochimaru did to Naruto's stomach seal was a huge moment. I felt so bad for Naruto struggling with his chakra all this time and now he might finally have a real chance against Neji
miriam_368
Gaara just taking out Dosu without even breaking a sweat was terrifying and it makes the whole Chunin Exams feel much more dangerous now that we know about the invasion plot
shinji_ikari_180
Jiraiya fixing that messed up seal on Naruto was the highlight for me because it explains why his chakra was so wonky lately
claudia_hodgins_169
You can tell things are getting dark when Hayate gets killed just for listening in on that Sand and Sound village meeting and seeing Kabuto act as a double agent is really unsettling
filo_feather_150
It was really sad when Hayate got caught spying on Baki and Kabuto because he was such a cool proctor and now things are getting way too serious
link_261
Naruto finally gets a mentor and all he can do is summon a tiny tadpole while Jiraiya just stands there looking disappointed
tsundylan
I think Jiraiya is a total creep for peeping like that but him fixing that messy seal on Naruto was such a relief because now the kid can actually use his chakra properly
sailor_jupiter_395
That new opening song is such a mood change and the visuals of all the genin prepare you for how much the stakes are rising in this exam
mimete_383
Jiraiya might be a total creep at the hot springs, but seeing him fix that mess Orochimaru left on Naruto's stomach makes me think he's the real deal
chibiusa
Naruto using his sexy jutsu to bribe a legendary ninja is the most Naruto thing ever, and it's crazy that it actually worked on someone as strong as Jiraiya
EPISODE CONTEXT
Landing at episode 54 of 220, this canon episode builds directly on Jiraiya's recent return and his decision to take Naruto under his wing, marking a pivotal shift from team-based missions to focused one-on-one mentorship. The Summoning Jutsu training introduced here becomes a cornerstone of Naruto's growing arsenal and sets the foundation for power-ups that will matter significantly in the escalating conflicts ahead. The next episode continues this training progression, so this is the entry point into a meaningful stretch of Naruto's development.
