Again seeing Sasukes past was good but the fight is taking to long to get properly started.

Ja I agree, now we see his reason for doing what this, but watching naruto being beaten up (again) is getting old very quickly

Little Sasuke is so cute, I wish he smiled now as much as he used to then ^.^

I'm kind of liking the back story to be honest.

It's a bad thing a parent can do, comparing siblings but not seeing their individualit. Well, that's what a father coming from an old, proud, powerful clan do most of the times. High expactions and pressure on the kids.
No wonder that there's no real close relationship with the father.

I really so like the back story I just think lost of it could have been placed with Naruto still chasing him.

I really love these flashbacks. It sort of explains Sasuke's douchey behaviour. The fight needs to hurry up though!

Imagine how different in strength and personality Sasuke would have been if Itachi never murdered the entire Uchiha clan. Kinda crazy to think about...

Just tell the whole backstory without switching back for 30 seconds of Naruto getting beat up.

idk if I hate sasuke, or if I just don't like him, bc I used to like him, then when he decided to leave his village I stopped liking him, then he treated naruto like that and I started hating him, but when I see him as a child I see that he could be completely different if he just had a normal childhood.

sasuke's backstory starts to wrap up to reach it's point.

those who complains about he little action in these episodes should note that the main point of sasuke's background showing here is crucial, from what i remember it's being clarified in the next episode.

i remember kakashi surprised about sasuke's fire jutsu, and kakashi suppose to know more than thing or two about the uchia clan, so sasuke's father disappointment at first was little annoyed me, but after he were impressed i took it back.

These backstory episodes are getting so good! Loved this episode as many things were highlighted. And I'm getting hopeless about Naruto winning at this point. Sasuke has moved up quite a lot!

After the Katon, I was thinking that his dad would either just walk away or just say something that won't be nice but that reply and the smile combined with the music just made my day

The episode was pretty good, it was mostly flashbacks, it continued to tell the story about Itachi's past and how that contributed to Sasuke's character development and it also continued the fight between him and Naruto but only a little bit.

Sasuke was adorable as a kid. Okay I wasn't expecting basically a full episode of flashbacks but I'm interested in the Uchiha so I don't really mind

Baby Sasuke launching a baby flame is so cute đź’– he's like a little Agumon
What debating with DigiCat is like according to APolygons2
That's why I thought a discussion would be pointless. It doesn't feel like a debate. It feels like I'm playing chess and somehow lose to an uno reverse card after loosing all my monopoly money lol
