10 Second Anime - Naruto Shippuuden - Episode 372

Naruto Shippuuden - Episode 372



The Hokages arrive just in time to subdue the 10-Tail beast. Madara has to wait his turn. Sasuke returns to reform Team 7 with Naruto and Sakura.

Heh.

Squee! Minato and Naruto meet! And Naruto has to brag to Kurama about how cool his Dad is for being able to go into 9-Tail Sage Mode too!

"Hashirama!" Madara yells in excitement. "You come later," points Hashirama. "The 10-Tails needs to be stopped first," Hashirama points at the 10-Tail. Madara pouts.

Maybe Naruto should have told Sakura she was his girlfriend before he told his dad... Well, it seems father and son have the same taste in loud, tough women.

Speaking of tough women, it's about time Sakura starts showing that she was a student of one of the Legendary Three Ninjas too. Crack some heads, Sakura!

Hmm.

The big reveal this episode is finding out what Minato did with the other half of the 9-Tail's chakra when he sealed the first half into newborn Naruto. The Yellow Flash of Konoha isn't just quick at teleporting, he's quick at learning to fuse 9-Tail chakra with Sage Mode.

Because of the Third Hokage's orders, a whole generation of Konoha kids grew up not knowing that Naruto was the son of the Fourth Hokage and the previous jinchuuriki. Their parents knew, which is why they feared and shunned Naruto as he grew up, transferring that fear and hatred to their kids. But now seeing one of the guys whose head is on a mountain doing the same stuff that Naruto has been doing cements what those kids saw when Naruto defeated Pain and saved the village from destruction. They got a hint when Shikamaru's father said that the best teamwork for Sage Mode is to stay out of the way. If all the adults know what Sage Mode is like, then they knew who perfected it, and what to expect. With the kids seeing two heroes fighting the same way at the same time, it can only add to Naruto's mystique and their respect for him.

The less said about Sasuke the better. His wanting to become the next Hokage was always a pipe dream, because as Itachi told Naruto, one doesn't become the leader to be acknowledged by the village. The one who is already acknowledged by the entire village becomes the next Hokage. This is where Hashirama was wrong about Madara ever becoming Hokage, and this is what Itachi hoped Naruto could teach Sasuke before he goes down the wrong path again. The other kids have the right reaction: Sasuke becoming Hokage is a lame joke.
