Not a bad episode. At least made some progress on Naruto's new ability if nothing else.
They've killed off Grandpa and Uncle, anyone wanna start taking bets on when Konohamaru gets the axe?
Ha. So Kakashi didn't consider the shadow clone option because he couldn't do it, and Naruto didn't think of it because he was too dumb? That makes sense. Otherwise, an okay episode.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Holy shit, I called the hell out of that!
3 clones...so he's made an already powerful technique that he can't hit with even more powerful and less likely to hit...great plan.
So Akatsuki leader has a dream...a dream called...OUTER HAVEN!!
The end bit there, I was like, okay, its not going to be that good, its just whatever, and then it was like LOL!!!!! So that's where they got that idea from! LOLOLOL.
Best part of the sode for me. The Atasuki bit was okay too...
The Akatsuki bit was kinda meh for me. I was expecting something a little more diabolical than "we're gonna make a merc group and take over the world by controling the economy" considering that they're a bunch of S rank super powerful ninja collecting even more powerful chakra monsters. I mean basically their big scheme is that they have a business plan.
Akatsuki's plan is just warmongering? I thought it would be something a bit more epic.
It's world domination. I'm not sure what's more epic than that. World destruction? I guess. But that's where they keep all their stuff.

If Hidan didn't know of that plan, what the hell was he doing there?
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
He said he was a new member. Perhaps he simply wasn't told yet. Maybe they first wanted to see he's in Akatsuki to stay, or more likely the big boss just hadn't bothered to tell before now. They are villains, after all.
This was a decent enough episode even though Naruto's stupidity was once again underlined too long. I was actually already beginning to doubt they would choose this simple method of allowing him to proceed because even somebody with Naruto's lack of intelligence should have been able to figure that out immediately - after all, he already did in the first place when he ended up using a clone to help form a rasengan. It demonstrates a somewhat unlikely and epic level of idiocy when they make him invent a wheel two times.
Akatsukis plan was a let down. I expected it to be something more ewul. Well ok its evil alright but in a corporative way. Like microsoft evil or something like that.
Also narutos new move sucks. Its just a powered up rasengan. Just the kind of a move to destroy a tank with. Hit a ninja? Not so much. He now has like 3 moves, shadow clones, rasengan and powered up rasengan which both require the use of shadows clones. Talk about lack of talent.
It's actually his second powerd up Rasengan.
Also, he summons frogs, but you wouldn't know it from Shippuuden.
I was meaning why Hidan wanted to join Akatsuki in the first place if he didn't know about the ultimate motive of Akatsuki to begin with. As villians, I wouldn't have expected them to simply "use each other" without exactly knowing what for.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Because Hidan seems like he really cares about motives, right Bill. All they had to say was you'll get to kill people and maybe fight some strong opponents.

Well, he did say they were "plotting behind his back", and was rather interested in hearing this motive that "lay elsewhere" from the money gathering.
Watching it again, I caught the following:
"Working with us means working for us. If we achieve our goals, yours will be met much faster."
From the sounds of that, I get the feeling that Akatsuki was the one to approached Hidan, and offer their help in exchange Hidan's service. From then on, Hidan's just been following their orders with distaste, but obediently.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Ofcourse they approached him, how else would one get into Akatsuki. Its not like you can approach them. And sure the leader mentioned them helping each other achieve their goals, if you buy that nonsense but Hidan has no goals. The guy is immortal and just likes to kill people and I doubt they offered anything other than the opportunity to kill more people since that is all he seems to care about.

I would have thought something about spreading his religion. He seems religious enough, and got kinda pissed at not spreading his word to the "godless Konoha".
Btw, when he dissed Konoha, the leader seemed rather protective. Even if you dismiss it as an objective comment, normally people wouldn't care if you talk shit, unless it's related to them, or they hate you. Bit of old village pride?
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
And how does he spread his religion? Yes, by killing people

Okay, I get your point.And how does he spread his religion? Yes, by killing people
Still, you can't disagree that "wanting to spread your religion" is subtly different from "The guy is immortal and just likes to kill people and I doubt they offered anything other than the opportunity to kill more people since that is all he seems to care about."
edit: "If we take If we achieve our goals, yours will be met much faster", it would just be funny for Akatsuki to control the world so Hidan can kill it off.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
I didn't get that at all. It seemed more like he was annoyed at Hidan's idiotic view of things.
But it isn't different at all. His religion is killing people and he spreads his religion by killing people. *Insert joke about the crusades*Okay, I get your point.

You don't get the feeling that they'll get rid of Hidan as soon as possible. We already know Kakuzu would kill him if he could and Zetsu doesn't seem to like him either and Hidan really doesn't seem to fit in with Akatsuki. There is the fact that they are all supposed to be super elite ninjas which doesn't describe Hidan at all and unlike the other members of Akatsuki he is very disrepectful. All the guys seem to have this innate respect for each and especially their leader yet Hidan just runs his mouth off like an idiot.
I figure I should mention this since I remember a while back we were having some discussion about clones and what they could/couldn't do and although I don't remember the specifics now. I think the fact that we saw a clone go Kyuubi here, is significant.
