This episode was not bad but it wasn't that good either. I found the few minutes that were spent to show Chouji, Shika, and Ino very refreshing. Infact I am liking this trio even more now than before. The fight scene was animated very well. Sasuke definitely grabbed all the highlights with his well adjusted tai/nin to counter every one of Naruto, almost. The fight clearly showed how limited Naruto's skills were. The comfort the Naruto-fans can take is that he can absorb a lot of hits. All the fights Naruto won so far because the opponents always underestimated him which gave Naruto the advantage of having the element of surprise and awe to his side. That was not the case in this episode because Sasuke has a very good idea about Naruto's ability. That was the point established in those flashbacks of Naruto's fight against Gaara, Sakura's Sasuke-kun-saved-me comment and Itachi's comments. Sasuke, here, wanted to find out how far ahead in the scale he measured-up to Naruto. I have to say, Sasuke measured up pretty good. Now only if he had a monster in him like Naruto or Gaara.
Few other observation is in order. Although the animation of this fighting was very nice, the style and fluidity still remained unbeaten of which were shown respectively in Gaara Vs. Lee and Sasuke Vs. Oro-sama. I thought the first 30 seconds of the episode was akward especially the flashback that was used to establish the reason behind why Sasuke is in the hospital. Skip that 30 sec. The crack in Sarutobi's face has been fixed. Chouji and Shika are very good at keeping friends at ease. Naruto calls name too or atleast that is how AH has translated. Naruto and Sasuke went to their special jutsu too quickly. As Tramadram mentioned, the opening theme is starting to sound good. The ending theme still remains questionable. And lastly, Ino is hot! Offtopic: Anthriel, as Xavier8200 mentioned already, you are too modest. If you need a new sig you can borrow my ASS pic.

Is it me, or does Naruto seem to hold back a little in the beginning? From what I interpret, Naruto wanted a fight between members of Konoha as sort of a Kakashi/Gai sorta thing... but once Sasuke started punching Naruto against the fence, I think he realized that Sasuke is really serious about this. Sasuke even burned all the cloths! XD

It seemed like he was trying his best against Neji at first, but considering what he was doing an hour later with Gaara shows that he was merely toying with Neji the whole time. |

with shadowclones, i believe chakra from the user is divided evenly among them, and becaues naruto is fueled by a demon, his clones are exact copies of himself. they share the same skills, speed, strength, etc. sasuke isn't minced meat because he's a very skilled ninja, like it or not. but i agree there is some discontinuities in the way the anime team makes the show. sasuke and naruto going from being even to sasuke stomping a hundred clones is one of them. |

Naruto for the most part is always dead serious, its just that his power scales with the situation. For example in the Neji fight he was honestly trying as hard as in the Gaara fight, Gaara was just more powerful and thus required more from him. His power and all those people in anime who become "excited/desperate" is equal to that of their opponent +1.
As to naruto's trash talk, the original went something like I have never felt inferior to you, little sasuke. So there was degrading trash talk, this was just an extrapolation of the converstaion. I am not even sure that the at least I'm not a loser who is a burden was refering entirely to sasuke. I think it was saying, well if I'm a loser what does that make you, who is nothing but a burden. Btw. where did the shadow reps have 10% narutos taijutsu skill come from? |

Toying with Neji? WHAT DRUGS ARE YOU ON???!!! The only thing he did differently in the Gaara fight was summon Gamabunta! AND TRYING HARDER DOES NOT MEAN HE WAS HOLDING BACK! HIS FRIENDS WERE NOT IN MORTAL DANGER VERSUS NEJI, BUT HE WAS STILL TRYING TO WIN. Am I the only one who thinks that what he just said is preposterous? TOYING WITH NEJI?! |

There is one thing I miss about the first few episodes. I loved how lonely Naruto was and how he had this hidden potential. How he was somethign special but I rarely showed. How you could actually be surprised. But oh well.

 I KNOW that sasuke obviously don't have as much stamina and chakra as naruto... I KNOW that sasuke can't conjour up as many clones as naruto.....obviously..... Don't try force and overshadow your opinion over mine because a battle isn't only won by power alone........obviously..... tactics and strategies are needed also and kage bunshin when used; correctly, can aid the strategy; so don't dismiss my opinion of sasuke using kage bunshin tactically to his advantage as if it's a dumb idea |
