Naruto 68 discussion

[Nara Shikamaru]

i liked this episode. it's not a complete filler episode i think because it's setting up all the fights/events that will take place in the next few episodes while showing the power of the sand and surprises like orochimaru as kazekage.Sakura waking up Shikamaru and naruto, kakashi saying that hokage isn't that easy to kill wonders his actual skills, you see shino in the shadows somewhere(you could tell he's gunna do something), sasuke going after gaara or something and finally the anticipated Genma in action gainst baki. Those are the things i wanna see happen really soon.

your thoughts? http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/blink.gif

my thoughts:
it&#39;s not even 1% a filler ep
unless filler is following the manga
all they did was make a few more drawings than the manga (so everything would fit together like it has to in anime).. other than that they followed the manga completely

i think it was a good ep in that sense
and it sure builds tension and mood
plus they had the awesome orotheme (i gotta get me some of that&#33;)

[itachi_]

I don&#39;t think that so many ninjas have died ever in naruto. 68 was good, not great but good, they have added the &quot;scene&quot; with iruka-san and the kids at the academy school... Hope they start the hokage vs orochimaru battle next episode

[Nara Shikamaru]

http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/wink.gif i think the iruka scene was there to say something like the civilians didn&#39;t know that this war is going on.

[el3ctro]

i liked it... but the snakes looked so stupid with those scarfs.
and when they attacked that guy in the air it looked extremely stupid

[phreakatron]

I thought it was great.

Genma looks like he is read to go at it. Kakashi had me laughing hard. Gai needs to really get going. The random Konoha ninjas wee cool too. The Sand nins looked pretty menacing. I am kind of hoping Shino goes to help Sasuke cuz I think 3 people is a little much for him. I want to know where Kakashi sends Naruto, Shiki, and Sakura... and Naruto better summon Gamabunta to fight the snakes. I thought the snakes were cool, but I think snakes rule period.

I want to see like shikimaru&#39;s teacher and Hinata&#39;s teacher ( i forgot thier names) tear some people up. I hope Jiriaya comes to help. I want to see the 4 freaky sound nins do something. Wondering when kabuto will attack Kakashi. he just keep standing there.

So much is going on&#33;&#33;&#33; Ah&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;

[PSJ]

quite good ep it sets the coming battles up. i wish they ended it with naruto waking up.

its a bruce lee scream also used in the tekken games with that Law dude. that scream is hilarious. love it http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/tongue.gif

[ComeComeParadise]

fuckng great seeing Kakashi and Gai fighting back to back...I thought this was a pretty decent episode, the animation was noticeably better than in some of the recent eps (excluding 66-67). I love the moment where Orochimaru says &quot;Sarutobi-sensei.&quot; Strays a little from the manga, but not too much, and all in good effect...

[rEkKaShInObI]

It was alright. The Gai really got some killer attacks, and once again, Sakura was saved by someone stronger. And Michael Jackson&#39;s crying was funny.

[itachi_]

I realised when i watched this episode that jounin fight very much with kunai&#39;s, not ninjutsu, only that flamethrower-thing

[Beautiful Green Beast]

Ill give the episode 3/5. It was a great fighting episode, had good quality and Orochimaru was great a Kazekage. But i already suspected him since he arrived at the stadium because of his eyes. That, and that Orrochimaru hadnt turn up for a while. Ok, so hes a little bit scary now but thats nothing like in the 2nd exam. Ya know : &quot;As i expected from the uchiha clan&quot; and all that. I think oro was cooler back in the 30`s. One thing more. I dont think Gai was so great. I mean,even lee could do what he did. PUCH PUCH,ya know. I would have expected that he would run so fast that you couldnt see him, even with weights or anything else like that. Or that his punches throwed them away to the other side of the stadium http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/sad.gif . And that Bruce Lee scream made him goofy. OK,so the episode was great but i think theres moree to come (more hungry mouths to feed)&#33;

[Mange Sharingan]

Well, remember in episode 1 or 2, Mizuki threw kunais and shurikens at Iruka and he had like 7 on him and the jounins in ep 68 died with 3 kunais sticking out. Isnt that wierd.

[el3ctro]

also the kunais with explosive tags were pretty cool...

alot of the random junins were pretty damn weak for a junnin...

also it was cool to find out sakuras actually usefull for something
(genjitsu expert it would seem)

[PSJ]

she is talented in genjutsu... not expert. btw is that a pokemon in your sig? the white ninetails?

[r3n]

i loved 68 http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif thought it was a refreshing break from the 30 eps in a row of tournaments. oro was cool, gai was cool, kakashi was cool, everything about it was cool http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif. guess it was more of a buildup episode than anything else. jst setting up the fights that are gunna take place in the next 10 eps or more. like gai + kakashi vs kabuto, oro vs hokage, sasuke (+ shino?) vs temari and kankuro (and maybe gaara?). and also naruto, shikamura and sasukes mission, whatever it may be&#33;

anyway i think we have a funpacked couple of episodes atleast, ahead of us http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif

p.s. love the naruto + shikamura combination, 1 lazy sod, with 1 overenergetic sod&#33; genius http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/laugh.gif

[Assassin]

not a bad ep.....but unfortunately i watched bakasan&#39;s version, and it seemed to have some errors in it.....the damn thing kept freezing every now and then, at certain times.....so i would have to restart it, and manually go past that point and then start re watching.......took all the fun out of it :&lt;

anyway, gai and kakashi kicked ass....i loved gai&#39;s screem, and kakashi smile when he saves sakura and look down at her thru his legs.

can&#39;t wait till oro and the old man start fighting.....but i wonder where the real kazakage is. did he even come to konoha? im kinda disappointed....i wanted to c how strong another kage was. oh well.

im also wondering when we&#39;ll c jiraya......and kabuto as well. he just standing there not doing anyhitng......and where are kurnie, the smoking guy (what was his name?) and ebisu.....and all the other jounins that were attending.

the snakes were pretty kool, but im wondering y the shinobi were throwin kunais.......a little knife isn&#39;t gonna do much against something that big. it would&#39;ve been better to use a jutsu or a summon of thier own (well they did do the fire jutsu, but they got owned)

can&#39;t wait till 69....its gonna b great

[el3ctro]

was also wondering about the naruto A class mission
they show that dog from the 3rd ending credits

and yes it is the pokemon... when my sig was made there werent many pictures of kyuubi (it was around episode 40)

[r3n]

lol i forgot to mention, WHAT HAPPENED TO ROCK LEE??? obviously he wud have fallen to kabutos genjutsu as he himself cant do genjutsu to repel it, but he didnt appear to be on the floor?

or were the animators jst be lazy again

[PoDy]

I liked this ep. Tho i also think that most of the jounins where to weak but the anime wuldent move forward if everyone was 1337 ninjas with a shit load of jutsus, it wuld take a long time to come up with all those jutsus and all the fights wuld have been like 1 ep each and thats how i understand why many of them got killed so easy. And the snakes... hmm why does it seam like they are stuck togeather? If they are... then are they really snakes? http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/dry.gif
Im very much looking forward to the next episode. Now things are starting to get intresting again.

[Anbu Girl]

the episode was good.. OMG, KAkashi is a hero *fainted*

[el3ctro]

the snakes were my least favorite parts

as i said when they attacked the guy it looks so stupid...
and the scarfs on them look dumb too.

to me the snakes annimation was a joke...

I dont see how you could possibly not just be like omg im ebmarresed to be watching this when u see them wearing bandannas kill a guy by hitting them with their nose
and you see him go flying and have a death scream

[Assassin]

bandanas? i dont remember that....but then i wasn&#39;t paying too much attention

u mind posting a pic?

He didn&#39;t need to do anything more to beat the weaker nins. I&#39;m sure he could do much much more if he needed to, but why waste his stamina on weak ninjas, n&#39;est ce pas?

[Orion Guardian]

hmm the ep was cool....nothing more to say from my point, its just said http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/wink.gif about the Mission for Naruto...

I think he is going to search fpr Jiraiya or something like that....they need to have good reinforcements and against Orochimaru...just a thought..

[Beautiful Green Beast]

The funniest part was when naruto drowled http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/mf_dribble.gif at the end&#33;

[itsgalf]

Good episode, but what the heck...geeze:

Rock Lee is gone, where the crap is he

Sakura got teabagged&#33; ahahaha

The personal bodyguard of Hokage, the strongest ninja in konoha, got killed by 3 kunais? are you kidding me? It shows all these jounins fighting, but obviously they suck balls and I have no idea how they got to be jounin.

When Gai does his triple jump kick thing, watch the animation of the 3 sound nin. Oh thats right, there is no animation from them. They just stand there and get kicked in the head.

Sakura says &quot;Where did Sasuke go?&quot;...Wait, what the hell were you doing the whole time, Sakura? playing with your hair? watch the stage, dumbass.

[Vagabond]

From reading the manga a got a sense of there being more invaders. I dunno, like 100 sound nins attacking at the same time. We don&#39;t really see any of that. Kinda pisses me off. Overall though it was a good episode and it set up the next few episodes very nicely.
Don&#39;t expect to see Lee too, he won&#39;t be able to break out of the genjutsu.

[Orion Guardian]

its said in the anime, too that its 100 Nins...when they report to this guy with the scarface

[Raven]

What about Neji? Surely he&#39;d be in the stands watching the match, he&#39;s very interested in Sasuke.... yet we never see him.

[simplyxme]

It was like eating ice cream or taking a bubble bath ahahahah.

I really liked this episode. It&#39;s setting up a lot of things that I&#39;m really looking foward too but there are a few characters that disapeared in this episode and I&#39;m stumped why they didnt join the fight but I guess there wasnt enough money/time? Great episode though. I hope sakura does more then just sit there and have a terrified face next time though. http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/sleep.gif

[Evil_Sasuke]

I personally like the episode exposing the action of the sand and sound nins. I want to see Shino and his bugs wipe the floor with the Sand and Sound nins&#33; Waiting to see if any other nins have summons like naruto and oro. Waiting for the Pervert kill some major arse&#33;&#33;

Shitheads like you are the ones responsible for people disliking the manga readers.
Go kill yourself.


Well, don&#39;t bother with the chuunins getting killed so easily. It&#39;s just adapted to the audience. The one who is with Hokage-sama is - in the manga - totally splattered against the wall. When Kakashi protects Sakura the kunais go straight into the sounds&#39; heads and at the time talking to her about waking the others up he is over and over with blood.

[Midou Ban]

It makes me want to watch Naruto with more of an intrest now. http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/ph34r.gif GO Shikamaru Go Shikamarau. I still find it wierd a show called Naruto has little to do about Naruto and it actually works out.

ok first of all, u report spoilers by pressing that little &quot;report&quot; buton, rite beside the &quot;edit&quot; and &quot;quote&quot; buttons.....that way other ppl (like, say, ME) dont know that its a spoiler.....so to me, UR the one who spoiled, by telling me about it not VagabondLBD. as far as i was concerned, it was just his opinion


ps: luckily im pretty dense, so i still can&#39;t see the spoiler u were referring to http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/dry.gif

[Spydek]

If you ask me, the previous posts weren&#39;t much of a spoiler.

[Elessar]

Well, i have pressed that button. check your mails. Because that&#39;s exactly what I was referring to.

&quot;Don&#39;t expect to see Lee too, he won&#39;t be able to break out of the genjutsu.&quot;
You think that is his opinion? A slight guess? After &quot;I as a manga reader&quot;?
I think not. As described in the report i sent via the report button.
Once again - check your incoming reports.

[Assassin]

*sigh*

well i apologize for the button thing then, since thats what u actually did.

but now u just pointed out the spoiler......like i said, as far as i (and it seems most other ppl) was concerned that was just his opinion......and informed guess if u will.

we know lee has almost no talent for anything but taijutsu, so its logical to think he wouldn&#39;t b able to break it......

besides, 2 mods posted before u, and if they had seen it as major spoilage, they probably would have removed it.

[Vagabond]

Sry if that sounded like a spoiler but I was just pointing that out because he doesn&#39;t have any ability for ninjutsu and genjutsu. If Naruto and Shika wern&#39;t able to break out of it what makes you think Lee can?

I know they said in the anime that 100 sand/sound nins were invading but it didn&#39;t seem like that many people were invading (at least from my point of view). I mean it shows all those nins gathered in the woods in 67 but it doesn&#39;t really show them attacking. I dunno maybe it will in the next episode or something.

[Kagari]

Shino is gonna do somethin, and it&#39;s gonna be badass....so many great fights are coming up...the episode actually had my heart pounding http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/mf_laughbounce2.gif The music was so good, and the battles are gonna be great.

EDIT:

Oh, and if you guys look carefully, they didn&#39;t get lazy with Lee&#39;s body. When Kabuto and the found sound nins are standing in front of Kakashi and Gai
(04:30 of the episode) you see him crumpled on the ground.

[Karasu]

ahhh we should get 10 ep&#39;s in a row now, gonna be hard chopping up all the action in different episodes. You have to love the sleepy tears of Orochimaru haha, going be wonderful to see them fight if that happens. Finaly some super elite shinobi action http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/smile.gif

Shino will probably be doing something soon.. Otherwise they wouldnt have had him in the episode, it&#39;s gonna be great seeing him do something..

The overall action was pretty nice, though they should have tried and make the different battles shown a little more intense with some more ppl in it, didnt feel like a 100 nins attacking.. But I guess they dont attack all at the same spot.

Sasuke might get to finnish the fight with Gaara in the end anyway http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/smile.gif This time for real, he gonna get him self in to trouble im sure of that. I so want to see him in the complete form or whatever it is the sand wants Gaara to be doing. (Well obviously kill everything, but how http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

And I liked the Ibiki scared shitless of Orochimaru talking alittle bit of Oro from before we know it..

[hiddenpookie]

it was a decent episode could have been better

[Assassin]

i can&#39;t wait for the hokage/oro fight eitehr.....i just hope they pull it off well. i dont want any of that disappear-and-fight crap, where all we see is these lines thats supposed to b them (the dbz style fights).

i&#39;d prefer the normal taijutsu stuff, like sasuke in the forest, or during his prelim match.....the stuff where they do incredibly kool, physically impossible moves; turn and twist in all sort of wierd ways, and kick the opponent in the face while standing upside down, on one hand and making seals with the other so that they can barbeque his/her face rite after he/she recovers.

anyone know the type im talkking about?

[HarukoSZ]

Shikamaru and naruto&#39;s mission will be to search for the crimson 4 leaf clover &gt;_&lt;

[Cion]

Yeah Hatake Kakashi is right, the best stuff
is yet to come.

Nice of them to show the city more, you think its small
if you read the manga, but this is more like it&#33;

[Cliffcat]

Shika is so damned lazy I bet he let the jutsu take him. I cant wait for 69 though, bring it on.

[Outtawack311]

I cant wait for 69 either. MMMMM. Oh wait, you mean the episode http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/mf_laughbounce2.gif

[Death BOO Z]

one thing i don&#39;t get...

why bother build walls if any genin can jump above them?
i mean, those are 50 meter tall stone walls but they still jump them like shit...



the part i most liked was when one of the ninjas used a fire jutsu and turned around to fry a sound nin...

but i really hate when they stand in one place and talk too much, it takes one panel in the manga, but over 30 sec in the anime, and while they talk, all the other guys don&#39;t do anything,,,

well, they better pull off the ORO VS SARUTOBI fight well, it&#39;s been a while since we&#39;ve seen a majorily kick-ass battle.

[Krbadass]

69 is next week right? we don&#39;t gotta wait 2 more correct?

[Uchiha-Itachi]

nope http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/smile.gif

[UcHiHa~SaSuKe]

just hope that esp69 will have more fighting

[FuzzyEyebrowz]

Im just curious...

When the jounin beside Hokage was hit, why did Hokage seem so surprised?
If orochimaru really wanted to end things quick, could (strictly a question) he have hit hokage? Hokage didnt seem to see it coming... and if he did, why wouldnt he protect his village people? Especially the guy right beside him...?

[Larz]

forgive me for my ignorance but just who is Gemma?

is he the examiner that replaced Hayate?

that old fart? i think he has the ability to do some cool shit, but hed most probably use some cool jitsus instead, cause they&#39;re more powerful...
about kazekage, hes obviously dead, cause remember during the second exams? the find the body of that sound guy (not sure if its sound) with his face torn off? oro uses the actual skin off of his victims.. so either kazekage is dead, or is lying around faceless...
the ep was cool, finally were gonna see genmas abilities, a fight between 2 elite shinobis, and lots of major ass kickin&#33;
oh yeah, gai looked like a fool with that scream of his...

[Krbadass]

Actually, the way i asked it, saying &quot;nope&quot; could have answered my question both ways... baka

[RoMuLuu]

I really liked this episode, even a lot happened in this episode, the plot was still clear and so on. Also it was nice to see Kakashi and expecially Gai fight. And indeed I think that there is going to be a whole lot of action in the next episodes. I just can&#39;t wait to see the top ninja fight. After all we haven&#39;t seen any jounin vs jounin fights in the anime since Kakashi vs Zabuza. Or well, the Anko vs Orochimaru was kinda &quot;fight&quot;, but it was poor. I just can&#39;t wait for the next episodes, I have a feeling that those are going to be really good.

[Karasu]

Yesh Gemma is the Exam judge that replaced the dead Hayate.. The guy with the straw http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/smile.gif

69 is gonna be the lucky number&#33;&#33;

Wh osays his name is Genma? I havent heard that name in the anime.

[Krbadass]

Hokage called him genma , when he said go inform genma about this.

[Karasu]

Gemma or Genma whatever Krbadass said..

When hokage tells the guy with scars or whatever in the face to go down and inform genma/gemma about the situation about Sasuke beeing late and all that.

[Destroyor]

The wall is suppose to slow down the enemy and make him an easy target, pretty hard to dodge while you are jumping/climbing up.

[Larz]

ahh thanks.

And Karasu, who is that on your avatar? I think it&#39;s Kankurou, but he looks really freaky.

[XwingRob]

Its his doll thingy.

[SilentSnake]

it&#39;s karasu - kankurou&#39;s doll.

he&#39;s controlling it and fighting by it

very good ePiSoDe http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/laugh.gif i liked kakashi when he said *sakura stay like that for a bit. i&#39;ll reduce the number of enemies* http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/happy.gif its on 17:26 for all who wanna see it http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/happy.gif


http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/mf_laughbounce.gif

[Nara Shikamaru]

my guess is that when shino saw sasuke run off to find gaara he was going to go also. so kank forfeited the tournament, and now he&#39;ll have to fight shino and reveal his &quot;accessory&quot; in his doll. just a guess after seeing the episode another time http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/tongue.gif
edit: ooo forgot to say that baki killed hayate before and now genma replaced hayate. if genma is anything like hayate baki will destroy him &gt;_&gt;

isnt it interesting how the ninja dont use much ninjutsu...? they seem to love their kunais quite a bit...

Stop with these questions about kazekage and other future stuff if you only watch the anime, read the manga if you really want to know what&#39;s going to happend. It&#39;s good to combinate manga reading and anime watching, for sure.

I saw that they had a lot of filling scenes in this episode, i wish that we could see more ninjutsu from random jounin&#39;s.

I think the ep was really good. Nice balance of fighting and talking.... though the Iruka scene was uncessary. I suppose they have to synchronise the eps so easch milestone happens in a new ep.

[Suzuki Fanboy]

One of my favorite episodes so far. It makes me anxious for the next episodes, and was cool enough to make me watch it like 8 times.

Genma is going to pwn, so are Kakashi and Gai. I can&#39;t wait to see Hokage/Oro, and Sasuke tracking the 3 sand nin&#39;s, and Sakura, Naruto, and Shikamaru&#39;s A-Rank mission http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif:D:D:D

[Hatake Kakashi]

the best stuff is still yet to come.

This episode expanded on the manga quite a bit, I wouldn&#39;t call it filler, it just let us in the know more.

Like we didn&#39;t really see those ninjas throwing shurkiens or blowing fire on those snakes invading the west gate. We saw them break though, but then it cut back to the stadium a few panels later.

Also, I like how they make the ANBU look all cool in this episode.

Genma is a Jounin unlike Hayate who was a chuunin ... it&#39;ll be cool if we actually see him doing anything...

what erks me is that guy with the hokage was also a jounin and he died like nothing... booo.... (Well i think hes a Jounin any way since he was part of that meeting the hokage had with all the jounins)

The reason they are using kunai&#39;s and Shryikens instead of ninjutsu is that its just faster to do... doing a bunch of seals in the middle of a big battle is gonna get you killed.

[Vylin]

honestly...i thought that episode was crap. it sets up TOO much stuff to happen in the next 15 episodes. i guess i say it&#39;s crap cause now i have to wait to see how everything pans out and if my predictions are right.

as for the other posts...
i don&#39;t think the Hokage got caught off guard on purpose. He&#39;s old, yes. but that just means that he&#39;s been around the block, shed a lot of blood, and taken a lot of friggen heads... he knows how to handle himself whether he&#39;s up against Oro or god himself.

Gai looks and acts a lot like bruce lee cause he&#39;s modeled after Bruce Lee

and i don&#39;t know if it was the second of the third post, but i totally agree with you. I want to see Naruto summon that big ass frog. You know he can make heads roll, but knowing Naruto... he&#39;ll forget he even has that ability (just like he forgot aobut the Demon Fox chakara until his was sealed up). sadly, don&#39;t think we&#39;ll be seeing the frog for a while. First time i saw him was in episode 1 in the intro (the 4th was riding him when he sealed the Demon Fox). and the next wasn&#39;t until right before the final matches.

Naruto&#39;s mission... i think it&#39;s to find and assist Sauske. it&#39;s gotta be, they&#39;ve been a team since the beginning. no reason for that to change now.

And all you manga readers... plz don&#39;t spoil my predictions. i even enjoy being wrong when it comes to this series

They only want Naruto and Shikamaru, but you made a good point. Should have woken up all the Genins and whoop some Sound/Sand ass&#33;&#33;

The rest of the Gennins would be dead before they took one step out of the stadium. They were better off asleep. The only other person who could handle himself would probably be Neji, and he is probably still receiving medical treatment.

I think they woke up Shikamaru because they realized sending Naruto and Sakura out there all alone would be like sending Jessica Simpson to the store to pick up a can of tuna.

[Sasukeisoverated]

ok before i get flamed for my nick, i just wanna say something. i it pisses the shit out of me when the main character of the show is made up to look like a second string character. its like the creator hates naruto too thats why he makes him look like shit when hes near sasuke. i mean any time naruto does any thing worthwhile sasuke is either knocked out or not there. WHAT THE HELL. well about the episode now&#33;&#33;&#33; did you notice that bug guy, he just stood there, do you think hes going to do something cool or is he just piss scared.

shino es gonna do something... im so curious about this character... http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/ph34r.gif

[Nara Shikamaru]

i bet you shino is gunna follow sasuke. the episode shows shino seeing that sasuke left, thus i think kank vs shino will happen afterall. they only woke naruto and shikamaru cuz ofcourse naruto can handle it but shikamaru&#39;s mind is at chuunin level (i don&#39;t care what you say&#33;&#33; he&#39;s cool&#33;) and since sometimes naruto doesn&#39;t think, shikamaru could tell him what to do. shika will probably have to take care of sakura also &gt;_&gt;

and about the naruto looking bad when he&#39;s around sasuke. what i think is that sasuke is the best rookie and naruto is nothing compared to sasuke.

1. naruto will succeed even though he isn&#39;t as great in the beginning
2. it shows how naruto will exceed and improve since the times he was compared to sasuke. i.e. the &quot;scaredy cat&quot; phrase first said by sasuke, it shows how naruto improved. just my 2 cents http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif (i don&#39;t read the manga everything i say is theory&#33;)

[Death BOO Z]

The anbu in white is probably Anko, it just seems to be so...

Kunais are knives, they are great for mass fighting, if you stick a knife inside somone deep enough you kill him.

Neji used Kunais becuase Naruto pulled out a kunai and becuase naruto was too fast he had to block rather than dodge, and to block a blade you need an equally strong object, Neji&#39;s fighting style isn&#39;t fit to fight against chackra monsters, it&#39;s like in RK when Sano and Enji started throwing their super punch at each other all the time, it&#39;s a one hit wonder. if it works for the first time, it seriously damages the enemy and leaves him half dead, if it hits and fails, it&#39;ll continue to fail.

Knives, however, cut through the skin and hurt inch by inch...


BTW: the two sand bodyguards weren&#39;t even sand, they were the four sound purple flame barrier team, the one&#39;s who are surronding the Hokage&#092;Oro fight.


THIS POST WAS SPOILER_FREE, even though i&#39;m a manga reader.

[TeLeKiNeSiS]

the thing about kunai&#39;s though...err&#33; they seem to use them so much as compared to jutsus...other than the fire stuff. but then in earlier episodes people were hit by kunais and barely got hurt...now they are being hit by like 2 or 3 and its instant death http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/dry.gif

[Anime_KickBoxer]

It&#39;s all in the user... if he&#39;s weak, his attack will be weak. If he has strength, skill, his attack will do more damage... also the issue with critical points. A knife in the arm won&#39;t hurt as much as a knife in the heart.

[rleland]

their quick, they probably have alot of them, and they can do alot of damage if aimed correctly and thrown with enough force
what more can you wish for?

as opposed to that a jutsu might take longer to preform and leave them weaker and more vulnerable

maybe they can&#39;t just all whip out a jutsu in the flash of an eye =p
jutsus seem more to be a supportive kind of fighting
jutsus are rarely the main weapon
except gaara&#39;s but his isn&#39;t a weapon, his sand is more of an extension of himself

of course i realize there are probably jutsus (like the chidori) which could be used in those situations but i dont have a problem understanding why they&#39;d use kunai instead

well, its now a war, and the people using them are stronger ninjas, maybe it just hurts more...

and they hit critical spots too.

dont diss the kunai.

i liked this episode, except the fact it was the starter of the war so this episode was kinda scattered and such.

the white anbu member i HIGHLY doubt is anko

she isnt anbu...

ibiki is, but you know where he is.

i think the person in white is just the anbu captain at the arena...

A Kunai in real life generally wasn&#39;t used for fighting. It was basically the &quot;utility knife&quot; of the ninja, some didn&#39;t even have sharp edges.

I think it&#39;s cool they&#39;re showing alternative uses for it by fighting with it all the time. Pretty sweet, if you ask me.

I totally loved episode 68, a very evened out episode. Alot of suprises, didn&#39;t know that Kazege (SP?) was just Ochimara (SP? again.. yeah I know) in disguise.

I am hoping those snakes get stomped by our favourite frog with Naruto, and that Sasuke nails Gaara, and of course (maybe *crosses fingers*) the perveted hermit comes in to take on Ochimara (as much as I&#39;d like to see the hokage fight, you can&#39;t beat a perveted hermit lol).

It was a great ep&#33; http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/cool.gif
I wonder why no one mentioned the white cloaked ANBU member. http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/ph34r.gif
He was probably an ANBU captain or something. It was so cool. Even if we didn&#39;t see him much. Good music, &quot;get out of my way&quot;, and he kills the two sand nins easily. Perhaps the music did it, but I think that was one of the best parts of that ep&#33;
Everything else has been said, no need to add anything more (by me).

oh dont get me wrong, im not dissing the kunai or anything, its just like..at first look it seemed a little overused...but hey, i love it too. esp the exploding kunai...creative idea...kinda like missles if you ask me, eh? and as for that white anbu...i personally think he&#39;s pretty cool...leadership and his skills...damn. no one can beat that..haha. all the anbu look pretty crazy to me. ah i cant get enough of em.

She has one hell of a deep voice then.....

I don&#39;t think it was her because she isn&#39;t technically in the ANBU. We don&#39;t really even know what she does, other than being the #2 Hyper Active Ninja in Konoha.

nice ep but i have one kind of big complaint...

Anyone else found it kinda stupid and untruthful that suddenly kunai became such powerful tools? I mean i know they are strong special ninjas but come on&#33; to kill those guys so easily with a little kunai? thats a little too much.
Hokage&#39;s body guard dude has to be strong if he is his bodyguard and he just gets killed by 3 kunais http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/blink.gif http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/blink.gif http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/blink.gif

Couldnt they think of something more original, like special sand or sound techniques to kill guys off and not just little kunais? the kunai in naruto is foggy all around. like in naruto vs neji - neji is has a special fighting style but when naruto gets close he pulls out a kunai http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/ph34r.gif
just find it weird ... love naruto http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif
