dude they&#39;re talking about two diff cloaked anbu
one is talking about the one in white (the anbu leader)
kabuto is the one with the soundnin

[Insomniac]

this ep proves why 69 is the magic number

personally i loved the Oro vs Sarutobi bits in this ep, coulda done without the Kohonamaru parts but eh what can you do

easily one of the best episodes in awhile

AND THEY FIXED TAYUYA&#33;&#33;&#33;
she looks better now

[Rock Lee]

The episode was great, i dunno what you all are refering to about the whole staring down contest, there wasn&#39;t much in the way of filler in this episode. I did enjoy the added in part, and im glad they got world summon out of the way. Now the good stuff can start next wed.

[Insomniac]

yeah i honestly enjoyed this episode, the only thing i think they could have done without is the Kohonamaru parts but everything else was well done


did anyone notice the quality increase of the clashes and the animation of the streeks?
before it was like one crappy clash every few minutes, this episode it was tonnes and the streeks were thicker and looked more like people

69 really went one up on 68, even Tayuya was fixed which i&#39;m happy about

[Elessar]

So far I really like it.

They improved the sarutobi - oro strength of will fight that wasn&#39;t really obvious.

Improving one of the highest class ninjutsu battles in the manga (were it was a bit disappointing) *w000h00* And about konohamaru -- his appearence was predictable. Since they - so far - made the whoe city invasion more detailed than in the manga - why shouldn&#39;t be the rescue of the kids be more stuffed up too?

Oro -- Saru so far was imho the best addition they ever did to the anime.

tayuya? so shes one of those four that made the flame wall...

[Hatake Kakashi]

yeah she is the one with Red Hair. The very last one they always show.

She&#39;s pretty cool. We are about to see more of what she is capable of in the manga. Hopefully tommorow.

Orochimaru was unable to summon the third because Dosu died already. He used Kin and Zaku as sacrifices in order to summon them.

I thought I read that somewhere before... but I couldn&#39;t find out where it was in the manga. In both the anime and manga Orochimaru began summoning the third deceased hokage but the 3rd Hokage stopped it in time. What chapter was that in?

[rleland]

the paw thing is just cause the dog thinks so highly of himself =p
(like when he added cute without sakura having said anything)

he thinks his paw is so good (PURI PURI&#33; -- as they said, soft and tense or soemthing) to touch that it would be a good reward in itself =p it&#39;s just added for the sake of humor (hey i found it funny ^^)

the quality of the drawings has definately increased in this episode. just look at the detail and all the facial expressions that people didn&#39;t use to have in the other episodes =p

this is the first episode in a while that has made me want to watch it twice

and i havn&#39;t really watched the manga in a while, but i can&#39;t seem to ever recall anything to do with the bugguy (shino right?) listening to kakashi and gai... what was he doing there? (things are getting curiouser and curiouser&#33 i dont remember anything to do with that from the manga

[Vagabond]

Chapter 117. The fourth would have been too much for him.

Sure they didn&#39;t scream or anything, but the floating debris was a bit much.

I am glad to see that they are advancing the Sarutobi fight more than they are the Gaara vs Sasuke and eventually Gaara in Demon form vs Naruto and Gamabunta.

I had no clue they would speed up the arrival of the 1st and 2nd so fast.

Konohamaru and Sandaim&#39;es little flashback was nice too. Wish I knew what they were saying.

Thoughts? </td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'>
lol i thought it were the lee kind of thing where big chunks of ground flies but the peices in their power ups are like a mm big it sounded worse than it was. a late dbz power up blows half of earth up... and then when one of their ki attacks hits the ground they create like a 5 metre diametre hole.....

Nah &#33; not a slow release of ANBU/AonE version of 69 ... mendokze&#33;

I haven&#39;t seen the RAW, but I think I remember seeing what you may be describing...

Chapter 120, Page 5: Doton Doryuu heki.

[Anime_KickBoxer]

A question.. wth was the dog talking to Shikamaru about? His paw is soft or some crap like that? Don&#39;t recall seeing that in the manga...

[Hatake Kakashi]

Probably said something like, &quot;lets do it bro, I can tell you and me are the same type. Give me five.&quot;

Like you said, I don&#39;t think that was in the manga either.

</div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td>QUOTE (villin @ Feb 5 2004, 02:08 AM)</td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'> I actually was pretty disappointed by this episode. The whole stare off between Orochimaru and Sandaime could have been shortened to less than the 15min it was. I also felt that the flashbacks involving Konohamaru were totally unnecessary and flashbacks of Oro and Sarutobi as pupil and sensei would have been more relavent.

On the plus side we finally got to see an episode where Gai didn&#39;t look like a total fruit. </td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'>
This eps made me very angry ,who in the world want to see Konohamaru thinking 90 % of eps 69 &quot;eh something wierd is going on&quot; This is why manga will always be better the anime cause they dont waste our time with pointless things like the anime&#33;&#33;

[Mgslee]

The anime fills in alot of the missing / unexplained stuff from the manga and I rather enjoy that...

what I didnt like is how the 3rd stopped the summoning of the 4th... I perferred it like in the manga Oro completed the summon but when the coffin opened nothing was inside... its a totally different effect on what you think went wrong or why...

maybe oro will try summoning the 4th again... no idea... and whats this about using kin and zaku as sacrifices to summon? first time i&#39;ve ever heard of this and I&#39;ve read all the manga... maybe i&#39;ll go re read.

[itachi_]

Just a thought if oro would have succeeded summoning the third coffin, would that person be hokage 4th? because it makes sence indeed..

Yeah it would have been the 4th and then the third would be toast cause three Hogake is tad to much for any ninja
