Lol at Sasuke being unconcious most of time.

Wow, Sasuke got his ass kicked. Sakura was the highlight of this arc imo, she seemed pretty cool throughout such as when she saved Sasuke at the beginning.

In any case, it was a decent arc. Not incredible or anything, but not terrible either.

Poor Sasuke. I really want him to be stronger.


Sometimes I can hear my bones straining under the weight of all the lives I'm not living.

Awesome filler (if you can call this filler). The next arc will be of the utmost epicness. Brace yourselves!

That fight was so lame, man. Probably because Aoi is so lame. I can't believe Sasuke got defeated by him =_=
Fuck yeah, Idate won, of course. Pretty convenient that Ibiki is in that ship.
Sasuke, stop your jealousy =_=

Nice wrap up to this little (almost if not directly filler) arc I must say! Let's see what's next.

I could see the limited amount of "moves"' Sakura, Naruto and Sasuke have be problem if they can't progress the characters.

I see the underlying plot of Sasuke's slow but sure falling from grace..

Anyone else annoyed that they hyped up Itachi so much then completely put him on the back burner for the whole season

naruto is really making a good use of the rasengan, and to see that sasuke is the one jealous of naruto now... is fair enough in my opinion, naruto have been putting a lot of effort on his trainments, meanwhile sasuke thinks that he doesn't has to train hard anymore only because he's from the uchiha clan.

Episode 102 to 106 Wasn't good, in my opinion. That is why I gave it a 3 out of 5. From the beginning of the episode, one of my favorite characters, Kakashi sensei, was there, but Naruto and the Gage were given a Rake B mission but Could change into an A if there was trouble. The task was to protect the guy for the Village Hidden in the Rain or AKA the Tea Village. The backing on the village was that two families were fighting over who had control over the town. Soon The two families decided oh wait for them both to have what they want which is a rase called the Dedication ceremony held every four years. The family that wins will Be in control for four years until the next running. As the rase goes on, naruto and the gage were fighting someone they had Fought before, but Sakura did helpful something, to my surprise. She Tears off the podium on the ship and uses it as a weapon. She even came through with some medicine that helped them with the poison in their body. So I say that was one point giving right there. But she was Completely useless throughout the rest of the episode. Now getting to know the runner, he was an ex Leave Village Ninja, but his brother Failed him, so he didn't get to go far. And he Ended up being tricked by one of the teachers at the time. But in the end, runoff. I gave the Runners character a point because it was perfect, and he had Character growth in the race, which was good. But the ending was not as good as I like it to be. Yes, the runner did make it to where the Finish Line was, but in all honesty, if he had just taken off the weights, he had on his legs. That he Showed us from the beginning, he would have had won without giving it his all. But I think that is what he was going for or something becue I, for one, was Screaming at my computer screen to take off the weight. In the end, he got to see his brother again, and he made friends with naruto. But Sasuke was in his little world talking about how he couldn't beat the guy but not Naruto did. So that is one more point I will give just for fun. But like I say, this eps is a hit and miss for some of you all

I don’t believe it Sakura actually did something. First time she did something since the chunin exams, go figure it happened in a filler episode.

Also, why did the bad guy’s weapon sound like a lightsaber?

I'm not really that big a fan of Sasuke to be honest, but it made me kind of upset at the end how he's angry with himself for not being able to beat that ninja and Naruto was. He shouldn't be beating himself up about it because technically without him delivering that massive blow that used all of his chakra and got him badly injured, Naruto wouldn't have been able to finish the ninja off.

Good for Idate on winning the race. From here Sasuke follows the pat of evil.

Spanish translation:
Bien por Idate al ganar la carrera. A partir de aqui Sasuke recorre el camino del mal.
