Sakura still acting like Naruto is some weak brat even though Sasuke is clearly rattled by his growth is getting so old and she needs to wake up
epona_265
My head is spinning from that ending because seeing Itachi right there at the door while Jiraiya is off being a creep is terrifying. I really liked seeing the little flashback of the young Sannin with the Third Hokage too. It makes the world feel so much bigger knowing these three legends have been around since they were just kids.

Sasuke looked so miserable when he heard Naruto was the one who saved Sakura and his ego just could not take the news at all

I can't believe Jiraiya ditched Naruto to go peek on women after all that hype about him being a legend and a hero
dr_zager_349
Itachi and Kisame deciding to run away because Jiraiya showed up proves that the Pervy Sage is actually on another level compared to everyone else in the show so far

What happened in the episode was great, but the animation during those flashbacks looked a bit rough, and the music felt a little off compared to the usual tracks

Jiraiya might be a total creep but seeing him compare Naruto to the Fourth Hokage really shows he sees something special in the kid
pippin_the_giant
my heart sank when Naruto just smiled and opened that door for Itachi and it really shows how much of a kid he still is compared to these dangerous rogues

Sasuke looks so stressed out running around town trying to find Itachi before anything happens to Naruto and the look on his face when he hears his brother is back is actually scary
twili_287
Jiraiya looking at Naruto and thinking about the Fourth Hokage makes it seem like there is a huge secret about where he came from and the resemblance is getting hard to ignore
sailor_mercury_394
Sasuke is so desperate to get to Naruto first because he does not want to feel weak again and that look on his face when he hears about Itachi is intense
larry
Itachi and Kisame showing up at the hotel while Naruto is all by himself is terrifying and Jiraiya falling for that girl trick was such a massive mistake
sternritter_storm_480
Hearing Sasuke actually admit that Naruto saved Sakura and then seeing him sprint through the village to find him before Itachi does was a big moment for their friendship
benedict_blue_170
Sasuke running through the village and trying to find Naruto before the Akatsuki guys do was actually pretty sweet and it shows how much he really cares about his teammate
alma_theus
It was so annoying watching Jiraiya get lured away by that woman when Naruto was clearly in danger, but the show makes it look like that is just how he is. People keep saying Itachi was scared of him but he just used the Amaterasu to escape and it felt more like he was avoiding a mess than being afraid of a fight
cwunched
Itachi and Kisame actually showing respect to Jiraiya because of his status as a legendary sannin really changed how intimidating he feels compared to his perverted intro
sailor_chibi_moon_396
Sakura finally admitting that Naruto was the one who saved her during the exams feels like such a huge step for her character and about time she realizes he is actually strong
yami_yamato_140
Sasuke running all over the village and asking about Naruto shows he actually sees him as a brother even if he wont say it out loud
amaterasu_angel
The way Sasuke looked so panicked when he heard Itachi was after Naruto shows he really does care about his teammate even if he acts like a jerk most of the time
pamela
Naruto focusing all that chakra into his palm looks like it takes so much effort and you can tell he is getting stronger even if he is still a brat
EPISODE CONTEXT
Positioned directly after the explosive 'Eye to Eye: Sharingan vs. Sharingan!' confrontation, this episode functions as a deliberate cooldown and narrative bridge, letting character dynamics breathe before the storm hits. It introduces critical foreshadowing and shifting character awareness—particularly Sasuke's—that feeds directly into the next episode, 'Roar, Chidori! Brother vs. Brother!', one of the arc's most pivotal clashes. At episode 83 of 220, this stretch represents a major turning point in the series' early trajectory, where relationships between Naruto, Jiraiya, and Sasuke are being reshaped by escalating external threats.
