This was a really good episode. I liked the scene where Kurenai is thrown into the water and all of the sudden Itachi is standing right behind her.
Well andy, this is the moment we've been waiting for... This is the shit..
I liked fishface better.
Great Episode, look's like things are gonna start getting interesting. Kabuto for some reason look's better with a sound forehead protector and I wanna know what's so important about the rings that Oro,Itachi and Kisame have. They must be important since they kept showing them.

was a 100 times more excited about kisame arriving.
loved this episode and the next one is gonna be great.
Yeah, he is like Gaara...killing for no good reason at all and enjoying it.
Fishface:These people are annoying. Shall I kill them?
Itachi: Yeah, but do it discretly, your fav move causes too much comotion.
Yeah, seems that those two will have great lines. Now that Oro is ouchie, ouchie, and therefore in a foul mood, we really do need more people to deliver the good lines.
I dont think those rings mean anything, its just to show they use to be all in the same organizationI wanna know what's so important about the rings that Oro,Itachi and Kisame have. They must be important since they kept showing them.
episode was really enjoyable. itachi and kisame's appearance was cool. very clear that those two are fully capable of going toe to toe with konoha's jounins. kurenai's genjutsu against itachi...so sad.
i give asuma credit for his attempt against kisame but i think it's clear that he's outmatched. can't wait for the next ep.
Formerly known as 'Animemaster'
if it was training then i'm not surprised he's already weaker than naruto <hahaha>
ekhem... he was just thinking *AGAIN* about his past and got angry like Mut@t@ said...
I think there are a few mis-conceptions going on here. This isnt DBZ, there are no 'power levels'. i believe in ranking the various chars in Naruto in the way they have been thus far will lead to incredible plot holes forming. for example we clearly know that kakashi is supirior to Naruto in almost every way in terms of skill, Naruto Beats Gaara's summoning ( i forget the name sorry, iam sure someone will correct me) so is it fair to say kakashi can also do the same? Dont forget its been stated that the 'copy' ninja knows all the techniques in us in Konoha. While this may be an exageration we could easliy assume that he knows the more difficult and chakra draining techniques, such as the summons. So its important to take every fight on its merits, theres no point in saying that because Oro stated he was weaker than Itachi and kakashi was scared (intimidated by) Oro then kakashi wouldnt stand a chance in hell against Itachi. From what we have seen so far i think people are overreacting to Itachis powers somewhat, he didnt sense kakashi moving in on him.
To support my theory that you cant rank them in such as way as to say that such and such a person can beat so and so, therefore he can beat *insert other person's name here*. i think we have to look at things more pragmatically, for example we cna look at neji, naruto and lee. we clearly see lee handind naruto his ass (albeit before his limited training). we can see that naruto simply cannot keep up with neji's attacks and we must assume lee is faster from his performance against Gaara and naurto/sasuke. so naruto beats neji therefore because lee can beat naruto lee>neji. however if we look at there skills we can see this more than likley wouldnt be the case as nejis defense would likely be 100% secure against Lee's chakra starved attacks.
ok... itachi isn't a god. kakashi is an excellent ninja. people aren't overreacting to itachi's powers, it's more like people are underestimating what kakashi is capable of.Originally posted by: chambers

I just wanted to throw this in. I may be wrong, but it seems to me that if a person wants to use a summoning technique, he has to first make a contract with the creature (or creature type) that he wants to be able to summon. So they usually can only summon one type of creature.
Kakashi has his dogs, Sarutobi had his monkey, Oro had his snakes, and Jiraya+Naruto had toads. I'm pretty sure that Kakashi wouldn't be able to summon a creature capable of dealing with Shukaku. This is especially true when dealing with the final form.
So in the Naruto vs. Gaara battle, Naruto (and Konoha in general) really lucked out. Naruto just happened to have a summon that could take on Gaara's. No amount of Chidoris or copied jutsus would have allowed Kakashi to beat that giant monster. Of course, that in no way means that Naruto is better than Kakashi. Just that in this case, he had the appropriate move.
As for Itachi, he seems really cool. I don't read the manga, so the fact that Kakashi got up behind him so easily is surprising. This is in light of the fact that some bastards on this forum seem to be unable to keep from spoiling and have been praising how powerful Itachi is for the last couple of months.
hell yeah, i'm one of those bastards obviously.
anyway, gaara wouldn't even have the chance to turn into shukaku (sp?) if he were to go up against someone like kakashi. kakashi would put a kunai through gaara's face in a second before gaara's cat litter would have time to react to it. and if gaara were to tranform to shukaku (including fake sleep no jutsu... whatever it was called) then kakashi would just use his speed and size as an advantage against the monster. using his sharingan kakashi can pretty much get to sleepy-gaara in no time and then put a chidori right in gaara's face. i think kakashi's size and speed is a huge advantage when going up against big ol' monsters. however, someone like naruto wouldn't be able to do this cuz he sucks.
during kurenai's fight with itachi, she was bleeding. at first i thought that happened after itachi took out his kunai but then i had a thought, she probably did it to counter the genjutsu that itachi countered back at her. i think countering it with pain does the trick? pls confirm.
yeah she bit herself really hard to counter it. I got the same opinion as youOriginally posted by: chitgoks

In a clean fight, Kakashi would win hands down. But like all anime heros, he seems to wait until the enemy has shown all his best moves. If Kakashi waited for Gaara to bust out the final form, he'd be screwing himself.
If Gaara poked his head out of the giant body to talk to Kakashi, he'd die real fast. But I got the impression that he only came out to talk to Naruto. He could have stayed deep inside that monster.
As for size, that's a serious disadvantage when those air blasts are concerned. Gamabunta was able to dodge or block most of the shots because he was big enough to jump clear of them. Those explosions looked like they had blast radii of hundreds of feet. A little guy would get blown up in no time.
And if anybody actually got close enough to crawl around on his body to avoid the wind attacks, desert coffins would be waiting for them, as they were for Naruto.
i noticed the connection with the sleeping guard as well, thanks for confirming it [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

Yeah, they really should give Kurenai and Asuma more screen time. Why did they have to pitch them against Itachi-nii-chan and fishface right of the bat?
Asuma's hand weapons are pretty neat, now that we know that he uses chackra to cut and not exactly the blade.
Kurenai's genjutsu was pretty cool with her disappearing into thin air.
Good to see the two of them on a date. Why did they cut that line from the manga?
And finally we learned where Hinata learned to blush. heh, heh
Best of all, we now can say their names! Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame.
also now the kazekage is dead does that confirm that orochimaru has to kill his victims for the face jutsu or did he kill him before he did it ????????
