I don't have problems with occasional episodes without enemies. They could be used nicely to give more character to the various genins or other people, like this episode. No enemy is better than a bloody horrible enemy like we have seen a few times. I would rather watch 20 minutes of Jiraiya peeping at babes than another episode of some miserable old loser metamorphosing into a corn flakes tiger.
Thats my thoughts exactly. Although it would be kinda difficult for them to think of stuff that doesnt involve "villians".
I think that if we watch at least 5 straight "funny" fillers just b4 they start following the manga again, we will develop much more anticipation for the upcoming episodes. But thats my way of seeing it and Im sure many will disagree.
Anyways I "kinda" liked this episode because it didnt feel so stupid compared to the past fillers. By stupid I mean when they act all serious against a clownfish wannabe and with curry of life 4 all. Those kind of episodes seem out of place. They destroy the series little by little. IMO
Give more character? Are you kidding? well anyone would want to watch something else rather than a crappy villian, but naruto fought a rock here...Originally posted by: Kraco

Yes. But I don't think we have seen before so many of the new genins teaching academy students like that. And now we saw what kind of persons some of the genins were when placed at a teacher's position. There weren't really any surprises, but I doubt anybody even expected to see such.Originally posted by: darkmetal505

And I don't consider a rock an enemy. It's true it played the role of an enemy in this episode if you insist in having a real enemy in each and every episode. But like I said, I don't personally have problems accepting episodes without enemies (like this ep). You can say he fought the rock, but in reality he just prevented it from crushing the Konohamaru gang.
uh... actually genins arent supposed to have a team. Chunnins or above are. Genins are supposed to be in a team themselves; they totally blew that part.Originally posted by: Kraco

Heh heh. Unfortunately not everybody is a natural born leader. Quite a many people need leadership training in one form or another to ever become one. This episode wasn't, in that sense, so different compared to the bug valley arc, which gave Shino leadership training (succesful in that sense), or the curry of life arc that was supposed to give Neji the same sort of practice.Originally posted by: darkmetal505

Well, I'm not saying any underlying facts like this would make the episodes any better, though.
Exactly right, Gennins don't have a team, but at some point, they have to learn to lead or else how can they become chuunin leaders in the first place?
That's why I said the idea for this episode was good. Especially the way Tsunade explained it to Naruto. Naruto should been all,
"Bitch, I don't need to learn leadership, the Hokage is the strongest ninja in the village! All I gotta do is beat the shit out of your ass and I get to go straight from Genin to Hokage! If I'm stronger than you, I gotta be the Hokage! Believe it!"
I think it is okay, as long as they don't do this kind of thing too often.Naruto used the "lovely ball of chakra" again, saw that coming when the second rock fell.
How lame is it that the kids actually ran up the mountain without being taught how to stick to surfaces?
Btw, anyone understood the wrist watch as a compass trick Neji taught his followers?
