This filler is far from the worst Naruto fillers around. But then again, they did have authentic backstory enough in their pockets to fatten this up properly. It also feels like they chose a more subdued approach than in many of the abysmal fillers of the past. That was naturally an excellent choice considering this is as much about Iruka as Naruto.
Hmm, gotta say I enjoyed this episode a bit. The quality is good in my opinion.
Hakke Rokujūyon Shō!
Any approximations when the filler will end?
I'm really liking this story too, but I'm worried now that "enemy ninjas" are being interjected into it that the usual filler shittyness is going to creep into the next episode.
I will say though that I really admire Iruka's tolerance.
"Oh look, Naruto is dancing in my parents graveyard wearing a fox mask...that's just.....super."
Also, as lame as Mizuki is, his absence in these episodes is conspicuous.

Certainly a valid worry, but let's hope the fact this long ago Naruto couldn't likely beat a cornered rat means that they won't go over the top with the filler enemies.
no matter which way you look at it the people of the leaf are utter scum. They spit and bite there thumb at not only the son of the 4th hokage, but also the person charged with being the jinchuriki. There is no valid reason why the adults in the leaf village would act that way and im really not sure what anyone hopes to achieve by showing the entire village as such a shallow place. I think now that perhaps sasuke was right and the final arc of naruto will be naruto being made to take another look at his life and him and sasuke kicking ten shades of shit out of the village for just basically being complete idiots.
I don't think the villagers realize he's the 4th's son.
And apparently, everyone but the Hidden Cloud treats their Jinchuuriki's like shit. The prevalent belief seems to be that at any moment they're going to lose control and kill a bunch of people(which honestly, makes open hostility towards them all the more stupid).
But yeah, everything in regards to Naruto's upbringing seems stupid.
But then again, if he'd known he was the son of the 4th, maybe he'd have turned out a spoiled shit like Sasuke.
His shitty childhood seems to have resulted in him turning out awesome, so I guess the 3rd knew what he was doing.
Makes me miss the pre-shippuuden music.
