-Played catchup from 145. It'd definitely different from regular (ie crap) filler, like mentioned before. I think it's the first time that the whole Masters thing has come up in filler, as opposed to the thousand and one pseudo-jinjurikis (well, this on kind of is), or weird star-village or curry-eating arcs.

Good characters also contribute greatly to making fillers good (and also why some just fail). Your "whiny girl/guy" character here isn't extreme, and also isn't being whiny for no/stupid reason. Reviving her clan is a fair enough one.

The "cool guy" here also isn't being a complete asshole, and again, not without reason. He's got his own issues to deal with. Both of these tie in together with Naruto himself under the whole "Master" theme, so it's not like Naruto's butting into other people's issues because they've got nothing to do with him neither.


The "flatness" of the Boss guy's face reminds me of the watery guy in the rubber suit from the 3-tails arc.

At first I thought Sai's ink would have interfered with Boss's word control since that looked like ink as well.

The Wood-Style jutsu is still as versatile as ever.
