Talk ABOUT CLIFF HANGER!

That Kushina haha. She was asking sasuke's mom if it hurts haha! Oh and since we saw baby sasuke we know he is older then naruto! Looks like madara was behind the kyuubi attack on konoha.

Next episode is sure to be crazy. The 4th vs madara! Its going to be epic.

Where's my time machine to go to next week

Next episode will be epic :D

Another Amazing episode! Man, next week can't come fast enough!!!

+ 1 i need one as well :D

I thought this was going to be a 1 hour special? Did I get that wrong?

The double episode is next week.

Wow amazing or what? LOL. We finally meet Sasuke as a child.. I never knew that Naruto's and Sauke's mothers were friends. I thought the Konoha and Uchiha clan were separated.. It looks like to me that they were separated AFTER Madara attacked?

Hmm.. next week's episode is going to be AMAZINGGGGGG. We shall see into Minato's power more in depth heh.

You can go back to Tobi's storytelling, back after Itachi's fight. He had said that the Uchiha were under suspicion because of the sharingan and its powers of control that could be behind the kyuubi's attack, after which point their eradication was ordered.

Naruto was in her mother for 10 months, that's 1 month more than Sasuke, so i guess they were meant to be almost the same effective age.

man! I want next week to be now!

Kushina just dissed Sasuke as a baby. :heh:

i don't like the kyubi mode animation.

Damn!

Nearly ten years after the anime premiered we are finally getting to see how it all began.

At last, we're going full circle as how the anime premiered about 10 years ago.

The irony of fate was that Mikoto (Sasuke's mother) and Kushina used to be friends and wish for their children to get along, and right now in the present storyline Naruto's resolved to save and stop Sasuke's from going all revenge mode against their world.

Things first is that female jinchurikki run the risk of getting the tailed-beast seal broken, at least this holds true for Konohagakure's kunoichi.

Furthermore, the theme of love to fill one's existence as a Jinchurikki correlates the opposite to the curse of hatred which started from the memorial times.

I think I might just explode from awesomeness after watching next week's double episode. *sighs dreamily*

Naruto's new Kyuubified form looks pretty sweet animated. Also it seems that Naruto isn't too far off in calling Tsunade, baa-chan. Even if the relation is probably really distant...:D

Really sweet to see the friendship between Kushina & Sasuke's Mom :)

And is it just me or is Sarutobi frowning alot or is that just his natural facial expression :3

two words .... BLOODY EPIC!!!
