Well, yeah, of course Naruto fought a rock at the end. It was only a matter of time before he fought an enemy with the same intelligence level as his own.
Heh heh. Well said!

After some consideration I think I know why this episode didn't bother me nearly as much as many of the other fillers: This episode didn't even try to be something epic like the Raiga arc. With all the restrictions on the fillers, any story that even tries to be epic will ultimately fail without exception. However, if the story has no need to be epic, it just might work.
