QUICK TAKES

My heart sank when Jiraiya spent all of Naruto's hard earned cash on those women and drinks but seeing that Rasengan for the first time made up for the whole thing because that move looks absolutely incredible
filo_feather_150
Did anyone else notice that green sentai mask in the background because it looks exactly like GoGreen from Super Sentai and it was a cool little detail while Naruto was out exploring the town
kumaru_yukihara
After all that heavy Sasuke and Itachi stuff, I was totally ready for something a bit lighter, you know? Seeing Jiraiya actually sit down and start teaching Naruto this insane new jutsu has me so hyped – it seriously looks like it could blow the Chidori out of the water!

I can't believe Jiraiya just took Naruto's money like that, it's hilarious but also so mean since the kid barely has anything, and seeing the Rasengan for the first time was the real highlight though because it looks way more powerful than I expected, plus the stuff about Tsunade being a gambler has me curious to see how she actually acts in person
mumen_rider
Gai sensei giving Naruto that ridiculous green suit was such a funny moment and it actually feels like Naruto has a real mentor now with Jiraiya showing him that crazy spiraling sphere technique
gisell_ghoul_485
Jiraiya is kind of a jerk for blowing through Naruto's life savings like that but the way he teased the info about the legendary gambler Tsunade at the end was a solid hook
susanoo_slayer_49
You really get a sense of how much Naruto wants to get stronger after that beating Sasuke took from Itachi and now he finally has a cool new move to master
keukegen_king
Exploring those new towns with Naruto and Jiraiya was a nice change of pace and it really makes the world feel much bigger than just the village hidden in the leaves
clemont_340
Seeing that huge crater Jiraiya left in the tree with his bare hand really showed me why they call him a sannin, and the training looks like it will take forever
lillie_341
It was pretty cool to see Tsunade for the first time even if she is just a gambling addict who loses every single game she plays in those shady back rooms
kuda_gitsune
Jiraiya is such a massive jerk for stealing that kids life savings just to go party and buy snacks, but the way he explains the chakra flow into the water balloon actually made sense for once. It feels like the show is finally slowing down, letting us see the world outside of the village, and the travel vibes are great
juromaru_250
I couldn't stop laughing when Might Guy gave Naruto that hideous green suit and Naruto actually looked happy about it because he wants to be just like the big weirdos in the village
tyme_366
You can really tell the training is on a whole different level now and his face when that water balloon just wouldn't pop was the funniest part of the whole episode
kafei
Watching Jiraiya smash that water balloon with just his palm was totally terrifying and it makes you realize how crazy strong that old man really is even if he acts like a total creep
anju_272
I felt so bad for Naruto when Jiraiya took all of his money for himself and then spent it on a lady and food and drinks while Naruto just sat there with his tiny empty wallet
tyson_350
Jiraiya is such a massive creep sometimes and seeing him ditch the training to go drink and flirt was pretty annoying when Naruto is trying so hard to get stronger
kurabokko_18
Building a new jutsu off the water walking and tree climbing foundations was a smart move because it makes all that early training feel actually useful now
shinobu_sting_130
I really needed this slower pace after everything that happened with the Uchiha brothers, and watching Naruto struggle with a literal toy is actually kind of relaxing and it makes me realize how much he still has to learn before he can actually face someone like Itachi and seeing him put so much effort into popping a balloon makes me really happy
zamazenta
That GoGreen mask in the background of the shop was such a random thing to include but it was a pretty cool detail for a fan to spot
grey_ghost_143
Naruto figuring out the chakra rotation instead of just trying to burst the balloon with force showed how much he is starting to think like a real ninja
EPISODE CONTEXT
Coming directly off the emotionally charged 'Hate Among the Uchihas: The Last of the Clan!' (Episode 85), this episode pivots sharply from Uchiha darkness into Naruto's personal growth arc under Jiraiya's mentorship. It serves as the launchpad for a dedicated training sequence, with the next episode, 'Keep on Training: Pop Goes the Water Balloon!' (Episode 87), diving deeper into the specific challenges Naruto faces. At episode 86 of 220, this is a well-placed turning point that shifts the series' focus toward building Naruto's next major ability.
