Yeah I got to admit, stories ar developing in this ep. But still, very slooow.
Somebody bad repped me, but left no reason. I suck now, thank you.
Sirs, you use a forum to talk about certain topics. Stay on them.
If y'all really need to do this, start a new thread or, for my part, post in the bitching thread.
Get back on topic. Everybody.

My question is whether Root was disbanded or not although the answer seems to be an obvious no but they it is and one episode later it isn't. What do you think?

Was there something here besides off-topic rambling...?
Hmm...
Probably would have been better for you two to take your little, completely unrelated to Naruto, squabbling to PMs or the Flame Pit. That way I don't get to delete it
Warned for offtopicness

I think DB is doing some bad subbing as the story they present to us coincides between episodes. I don't know the actual story, don't read the manga's.

i think the best part of the episode was the end credits when they advertised next weeks double episode, i love those. and hopefully things are going to get crazy really soon
the animation this ep really was leaps and bounds better than usual. probably about on par with ep 1.
when people talked it was often much more than just animated lips. things like that. I hope they keep this up.. but alas..
On topic. Whether you read the manga or not doesn't matter its just something I was wondering because it effects Danzou's motivations and what role Sai is going to play in the future. Speaking of Sai I think he fits in with the group better than Sasuke did. Sasuke was always the cool guy who never really said much outside of battle. Sai is an outspoken opinionated person although that may all just be an act but he definitely fits in with Sakura and Naruto even if they don’t get along.
As long as they don’t draw out battles like they did in the last arc it’ll be okay because that was unnecessary and poorly done especially when you consider that they were talking breaks everyone couple weeks.

Sai fits better in than Sasuke? Not a chance. Sasuke was loved by Sakura and admired by Naruto. On the other hand Sasuke was grateful to Sakura and saw Naruto as someone worth competing with, in the end. The only thing that kept Sasuke apart was the fact he had a single goal that had nothing to do with the team.
Sai, however, very much looks like he wants to stay apart and in somewhat hostile or at least not friendly terms with the others. I suppose it could be related to the secret mission he got from Root. Maybe it will require him to betray the rest of the team (abandon them or something at some point, or even get rid of Naruto, who knows, or snatch Sasuke for their own purposes). It's not like Sai would have appeared that social even in his very first scene, but any person with half a brain could mix better in if he wanted, which means he doesn't.
Okay but I talking about how outspoken and opinionated the three of them are but you are right although I don't remember Sasuke, Naruto and Sakura getting along when they first met.
I don't think that Sai doesn't want to mix I just think he doesn't know how, remember he is/was a part of root and they didn't show emotions at all not even smiles so I think he just doesn't know how to get along with them. I think Sai would've been far more inconspicuous if he did fit in with the group because then they would be more likely to trust him and not pay so much attention to the fact that he has a secret mission.

@ Abdula: Kay, what I think is that Root is indeed disbanded and still secretly active. Also, obviously others have a say besides the Hokage and decide to add someone from Root to team Kakashi. Danzou probably has ties with either one and persuaded them to do this or are part of this. Dunno what but I'll see.
As for Sai, he's carrying around a book from his childhood. Which means he still has some emotion. And for Naruto being Naruto he'll probably touch Sai's heart sooner or later.
Just stating the obvious.

I don't think anybody would call people dickless wussies and ugly bitches knowing what those words mean and still thinking it's the normal way of talking to team mates.
Using reverse psychology this approach might be a good one for Sai if he indeed at some points need to do something nefarious. Because this way Naruto and Sakura will have other things to occupy their minds than trying to chat to him and probe about his past. And knowing Naruto, especially, he will be too hotheaded and angry to even consider Sai might be just keeping him occupied for special purposes.
Or maybe Sai is just uber arrogant and a real bastard, and he doesn't bother to try to please people that he might consider to be of no use to him. While I hope there's some dark plot behind everything, I also hope Sai was just being honestly himself. That would ensure we will get more funny scenes in the future.
I hope that is the real Sai too because he is funny as hell. I don’t think Sai has to waste any of his time trying to distract Naruto and Sakura they are completely preoccupied with getting Sasuke back. One thing I found funny about Shippuden is that Naruto still flinches every time Sasuke’s name is mentioned.
For someone reason I never thought of that. The idea that a secret society could exist in peace loving village like the leaf just never crossed my mind, maybe if it was the sand or the mist but that definitely explains a lot.
Its obvious that the two elders don't like Tsunade , I think they were Sarutobi's former teammates, which would also be another connection they have with Danzou but I don't think they would plot to overthrow Tsunade but they is no indication that that is Danzou's intention. You are right though the three of them seem to all have their own plans for the village and they are definitely going to do whatever they deem fit whether they have to go over Tsunade's head or not.
This reminds me of Chiyo and her sister but instead of isolating themselves from the sand village as those two did they are taking an active role in it and trying to effect actual change to get the village to be what they want it to be. The village must have been really strong when the third was hokage because not only were all three Sannin still a part of the village but the fourth Hokage, The white fang(Kakashi's father) and the Uchiha clan was still alive.
That is the one thing I dislike the most about Naruto "This mysterious power he has." First it was Haku, then Neji and Gaara even Tsunade and Jiraiya and now Chiyo as well. I really don't like that, yeah he is a nice guy and he is very likable but this softening peoples hearts thing sucks. Well atleast it doesn't work on Sasuke so I can be happy about that.

How childish the series might be, we're still talking about Shinobi's here, so expect the unexpected.For someone reason I never thought of that. The idea that a secret society could exist in peace loving village like the lead just never crossed my mind,maybe if it was the sand or the mist but that definitely explains a lot.
I think you mean Chiyo and brother right?This reminds me of Chiyo and her sister...
And yeah, I guess the whole special power thing is a little bit soapie, but his attitude kinda makes up for it. And Í don't pay much attention to it really.

Idk if anyone answered this yet but Roots was "disbanded" officially but I guess the members just chose to continue following Danzou.
Yes I meant brother. I know we are talking about shinobi its just that when looking at Naruto it is rather easy to forget, and the leaf village is far more peaceful and civil than I would expect a ninja village to be. We haven't seen many other villages other than the leaf but from what I saw of the sand village I think that in most of the other villages the ninja:civilian ratio is higher. Anyway it looks like the show is going to have a more serious tone in future so that should be good.

actually the fact that hes a member of ANBU and his appearance in front of tsunade was making him look cool yes.... (for me its enough i m easily satisfied and i don't mind it :P)
and what makes you think that he is strong? he doesn look strong in his normal clothing, in fact he looks like a jerk with his eyes..
and well...kakashi is also the teacher of naruto/sakura etc. and still they don't look like they are strong, do they?
in addition to that i would like to say that it was not the skills naruto used that made him look a bit more like an adult.. it was the animation-style. for example when he left the house in the end of the episode or when he introduced himself to sai (btw funny sequence).
compare these scene with the one when kakashi used the seal on naruto and the demon fox... he looked like a clown to me..
+ he seems to be moving differently now.. maybe just my imagination but he seems to be more lazy and i kinda like that
(its the same with shikamaru... arms shrinked behind the head or hands in his jeans... well maybe he did that before allrdy but somehow it looks different now.
also very funny in this episode: the part when the root-boss (danzou?) moved all the way (like 10 seconds) to tsunade just to flame her and move away again (10 seconds) the question from Shizune "isn't it time for you to go Sakura?" did underline all this xD
Maybe sai just likes seeing the reactions people make, considering that he himself is devoid of emotions.

he has prolly lived in isolation all his life to train and has no social skills at all. remember he said facial expressions are hard for him? his clothes aren't exactly socially accepted either. he just doesn't have a clue.
or maybe saying that kind of stuff to people gets him off.
either way its pretty funny.
I agree I think he just doesn't have a clue but it could be both because he definitely seems to be enjoying himself, I'm not basing this on anything though.
@KrayZ33: I think we can all agree that the animation now is way better than it was during the Gaara rescue arc. I think it was bad wording on your part though because better animation can't make Naruto more skillful, I just wanted you to explain your reasoning about that. Would've been nice if it had come earlier but I "guess" we all have lives.
The term teacher is used very loosely because in my opinion the only one Kakashi taught was Sasuke, he didn't teach Naruto or Sakura anymore than Guy taught Neji so I guess a better term to use would be trainer. I like how everyone is talking about the humor now because it is something that the series lost nearing the end of I don't know what the best term to use would be but I would say the first half of the show. Some of the fillers were very funny but they were fillers so I don't really count them and the humor then was very juvenile although one could say the same about the humor now but now its directed at a more adult audience which in my opinion should have been the target audience for Naruto in the first place.
