Wow... didn't see those things coming..
Nice to see them explain Danzo's Sharingan, but what the hell is up with his shoulder?
It does make sense how Danzo's plans were going so smoothly.
Both Zetsu and Madara's moves were surprising, I wonder how that will end up.
So awesome. Sai is like my favorite now!
"Hey Sakura, good job fucking up Naruto for his entire life."
I like how Shikamaru mentioned her parents when we still don't know shit about them.
"And then people like your parents will want revenge!"
Oh, what are they gonna do about it? They're probably muggles anyway.
Sweet cliffhanger though.

I would be really happy if they just came out with the next 10 episodes right now. The cliffhangers are too much.
Don't watch for 10 weeks?Originally Posted by lelouch
I liked this episode quite a lot. It was like an end of childhood episode. They really managed to successfully make a big deal of the old promise they should have grown out of but neither could, and so Sai comparing it to a curse was very apt. I never really thought about how it was tying not only Naruto but Sakura herself so strongly.
What comes to Sai himself, it almost feels like his character had been written for this particular ep from the beginning. How he was emotionally very lacking but thus could observe the others freely from various points of views, and finally didn't hold back anymore. Lots of old, loose threads were tied all at once.
The only weak scene was Ino crying so ardently. That felt unreal. She hasn't even seen the dude for a long time now, much less interacted with him. Just declaring him officially a rogue shouldn't bring about such a reaction. It was like she was shown Sasuke's dead body...
+1 I really enjoyed the dialog in this then the cliffhanger, Danzo's right shoulder looked a little like Kakuzu's face things to me.
Freaky stuff. and awesome episode
Its actually makes perfect sense to me for the leaf to kill Sasuke, why allow another village to kill your people? that would just lead to the vendetta war that shikamaru talks about. I thought that was one of the main purposes of the Anbu - the hunting and killing of missing-nin. I suspect that it maybe Danzo's intent to secure his position as hokage by instigating a war with the hidden cloud through a vendetta war. It totally suits his persona to sacrifice some ninja to secure his position.
I noticed that Danzo also has some kind of weight around his wrist, the same like raikages' wrist. Quite strange thou.Freaky stuff. and awesome episode

Also, Mizukage always has one eye hidden behind a lock of hair. She also has some kind of ocular bloodline limit? :s

Nah, just emo fringe from being unmarried. :P
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
It felt a little off to me at first too, but as the episode went on and Shikamaru explained things, it felt a lot more natural -- she wasn't crying so much because he had been declared rogue, it was because she had just agreed that the best thing to do was to help hunt him down. It sounded to me like the young ninjas plan on going after Sasuke themselves and if she agreed to be part of it, I can see that being a tearful moment even given the length of time that has passed. Remember, it may have been 3 years since she saw him, but it was what, 13, 14 years they grew up together and she had a crush on him? Kinda rough.
Oh, a very good point. I completely failed to think of it that way.
I guess my only flaw in both Shikimaru's logic and Naruto's is that in order for this whole chain of revenge thing to happen, Sakura or Naruto would have to seek vengeance on whoever kills Sasuke at this point.
...why the hell would they do that? I mean, we know Naruto won't do it because he's going out of his way to break the chain, and...realistically, what's Sakura gonna do against someone who took out Sasuke?
At this point, Sasuke deserves to die. All they have to do to break the chain of vengeance is...let Sasuke get what he deserves.
Kill them, or die trying. Either way, someone's going to die, and not everybody's like Naruto and willing to let it slide.
Same with the mention of Sakura's parents before.
They sure made an effort to bring out the facial expressions this week. Awesome.
The only flaw to me is how on earth Sasuke doesn't know they're after him when Zetsu's yelling (half) his head off.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Yes, but at this point, Sakura and Naruto are the only people who care if Sasuke dies or not.
If he gets killed, and neither of them pursue vengeance...chain broken.
Sakura didn't respond when Shikamaru said that. I take the silence as an agreement.

pretty good ep, i liked zetsu's entrance, should be interesting to see what him and madara are up to

What I found equally good was how Raikage took him on with sheer speed. Akatsuki pretty much walked all over everybody so far. It's nice to see someone put up some resistance to Ai- err, Madara's plans.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Well, we still not fully know what part in the akatsuki Zetsu plays. As of now we have never seen him fight and is only some sort of scout who works the closest with Madara. Who knows what kinda freak jutsu he's gonna pull to relieve himself from raikage.
Hakke Rokujūyon Shō!
true, it didn't even look like he tried to get away... think about it, he entered a room full of kages by himself... he's gotta have balls of steel to do that
