Ok well i know this isn't about itachi, but how do you think he's over-rated? All we know about him is that he escaped from a Sannin, and 3 jounin weren't able to take him down. Do you think Kakashi can take down Orochimaru? no. Don't even argue that, he just can't. i doubt he could even touch oro although his arms are messed up. and Oro said Itachi was stronger than him.i despise itachi and wont rest until i she sasukes chidori through his heart. hes overrated nd the only thing that puts him above other great ninja like kakashi and guy is the mangekyou and possibly that black flame thing. i think without the mangekyou, and without kakashi being worried about the lamer jounins, itachi was on the same level as kakashi. and gai would have faired off very well
Now that i'm off that - I've always thought Sasuke was pretty crappy, honestly, Naruto is much stronger than him. When Sakura did what she did in the episode it was just adding fuel to the hate fire. I wanted Sakura and Naruto to be together for the first half of the series but after Hinata was more introduced i think a pairing of her and Naruto would be much more entertaining. The show has done an excellent job to make everyone hate Sakura - because you keep watching to see if she'll actually do anything. All in all a good episode, and i'm hoping next episode we see Tsunade get set up so that we can move on.
Finally - CUE, you watch this CARTOON just like everyone else so don't try to use that as your arguement for anything, you just sound stupid - and if the people you are arguing with are "kiddies" then you're gettin owned by lil' kids son.
