I also wondered, it remember distinctly that during the Hokage battle (The first and the second hokage fighting the third) they said that only the first or the second could make water appear form nowhere. Creating water was a huge jutsu that the first or the second could only do.
As I don't seem to see any lake or river nearby and seeing that there's water coming from Kisame's mouth. Must mean he has mastered that jutsu?
EDIT: It was the second hokage who could do that.

If you think about it, it only took 1 more step. The 2nd starting with a high level water attack, and Kisame making his own water with no water source nearby and then using high level water jutsu's. They sound pretty much the same, or atleast very similiar.
Actually, he could use any fluids possible, in his case it's always water. First to create water and then do a high level jutsu. I find it quite impressive. But the amount of water, that's what's kinda insane. He like barfed out an entire frickin ocean
Also, it kinda reminded me of The storm riders (the movie with Aaron Kwok, etc..) Him also using water as a powerfull assault weapon. In case of emergency and a lack of water, you just rip off an arm and there you'll have your fluid to do a jutsu.

Well, the water that is here now is from Kisame, not a natural source like a lake or river. Isn't that just as impressive as the 2nd?
@DBHunter: I don't think Gai or Lee are wearing weights. Like you said, taking off weights before releasing gates is a logical progression. They're also on a difficult mission, not training.
I'll also echo a few others: the episode seemed short and Gai hitting the water clone was funny. Actually, the entire Gai vs Kisame fight feels more humourous than deadly.
The people talking about Gai's weights in this and the Episode 13 thread.. I want to know where in the anime do they menition, or show that Gai is carrying weights like lee does... would be nice to see, sence i skipped some filler episode's
Wow.. this episode sucked from my point of view, the title is "Naruto's Growth" and yet all we see from him, is that he learned how to dispel Genjutsu, just.. wow...
At least there was some action on the Gai team
They ruined what could have been a great moment (Gai's gates) with poor animation and for me atleast, the music isn't what it used to be either. Don't know wtf happened really, Gai said there's no more time left because of Tenten, indicating he needed to save her and the others. So he releases his gates and jumps into the air after fish face? Where is the saving Tenten bit? Neji could have done whatever he did sooner, I assume he hit a weak part of the bubble with his 64 hit combo to break it, so what was the point in us seeing inside Neji's body (chakra systems), I thought he was going to release gates too or something seeing as that's exactly what they showed with Gai moments before. Other bad moments, already mentioned was Gais quick tap of the water clone with his Nunchuks but Rock Lee's Konoha Senpu kick was messed up, wtf where those lights coming out of Kisame?
This anime needs fixing TBH.
Unless they meant for the light to show 'speed' it indeed looks weird.
Oh... and it wasn't Konoha Senpuu. According to the subs it was another variation -> Konoha Dai Senpuu.

Why should the 2nd Hokage be more impressive than Kisame, anyway? The 2nd was probably the least interesting amongst all the Hokages....
10/4/04 - 8/20/07
and why do u say thaT?
i think each hokage holds a deep mystery and is interesting
Im going to say the same thing that I did in my last post about shippuuden 13. Rewatch episodes 49 and 50 when Lee releases his chackra gates. When he did that, it just made me melt in amazement at how cool it was, and there was so much emotion in it.
When I saw Gai open his gates, there was NO emotion in it at all. The animation was terrible, the story behind it is terrible, the music is terrible, and its just very poorly written and produced. I liked the old naruto a lot better, this isnt even the same series. Nothing is done the same. It's way too caught up in trying to avoid fillers that they are dropping the quality to filler itself.
I give two thumbs down to shippuuden. RIP original naruto, we shall all miss you dearly.
