Anyway, the only thing I disliked about this episode is the fact that it should've gone just a little faster.

According to DS, the pace will be slowing down again starting next episode.

* is so happy he gave up on the series and decided to read the Manga...
(though ironicaly the manga has pacing issues of the opposite kind and it is to fast/frantic. I am pretty unsure what exactly happened in the past ten or so volumes which consisted of frogs,jumping, kicking and BIG SWIRLS)
Still, I can't wait for the big massive Naruto, Sai and Sasuke sex party. I think I will watch that episode

Aye like who made the Kyubi attack, but not why . Still, its its pretty awesome that there entire fight was simply Genjitsu also i wonder what Jirayas message means, personally i think that faint image of the 4th's head on the rock face is a clue, might mean that Pein is in fact the 4th (how i don't know) but if that were true, wouldn't that mean that Naruto could awaken the rin'ningan, and if that were true, well, it just means that Naruto has the potential to be the most powerful ninja of all time.

besides even if you still have some speculations, with chapter 386, Itachi just said that Madara was stopped by the 4th hokage making him a failure, which is why itachi is using the secret so he can surpass Madara.  It wouldnt make sense for Pein to be working with Madara if pein was the 4th, since he was the one that stopped the nine tailed fox that madara summoned to attack konoha.

not only that but lol when you use the sealing jutsu that the 4th used YOU DIE lolololololol

naruto

I know that, but you'd be suprised how often a loop hole apears.

if they came up with a twist that made that happen, I'd stop watching/reading whatever

that would just be plain dumb >_>

But its fun to speculate and over analyse any way, he had orange hair? i didn't know that but if thats true then yeah it couldn't be the 4th. Still its fun to speculate and yeah your right, this is naruto but again its fun to try and guess stuff and then see if your right or wrong ​.

HAIR DYE?!

Come on, let's over analyse this.

The fight at the beginning of the last episode was pretty good, I guess. I've been waiting for them to catch up to episode 1 for two-three bloody episodes now, though. SHITTY PACING AHOY.

The most frustrating thing about the NS anime is the way they fill it most of the time. I don't mind things like the filler fight scene vs Kabuto or even the filler Sai flashbacks in the last episode, but 5 minutes of them running down fucking corridors opening identical doors shouting "GUSY, HES NOT HERE WAT!" is just a crock of shit. And its constant as well. Unecessarily long pan shots of characters faces or dumbass repeated shots of someone walking over and over... they should just make it bi-weekly if they're paranoid about catching the manga again (even though they are _streets_ behind the manga now), instead of making glacial episodes that may as well be in slow motion with hilarious distorted voices. But no its another truimph for profit over quality since people still watch it since its number 1 show in Japan or whatever (thanks to part 1 I might add).

Well that turned into a bit of a rant but I'm sure most people agree that the pacing is epic fail.

And I hope that Uchiha fight finally gets wrapped up in the next manga chapter, that was beginning to drag and its about time we saw the MAIN HERO fight again.
