Naruto Shippuuden - Episode 394
Season premiere. Filler arc. A year before Naruto comes back to the village, the new chuunin exams take place.
Meh.
Yay! Filler arc.
Heh.
Yay. Filler arc! Wait...
This is a fine filler arc to have because when Naruto Shippuuden started with Naruto's return to the village, he had a new outfit and almost everybody were chuunin, but we never saw or heard how those exams went. Well, here we go. Naruto has just about worn out his old clothes, he's even still wearing the crystal that was supposed to keep the 9-tails in check and Jiraiya is about to start him on the next phase of his training, presumably the beast cloak which went berserk and gave Jiraiya that terrible scar on his chest. I still love his explanation of it from long ago, how he's only been near death twice: once was when Naruto attacked him in beast cloak mode and the second was when Tsunade caught him peeping when she was in a spa. Ah, Jiraiya, rest in peace.
It was also fun to see the other Kages with their same personalities played up in less serious times. It's funny, although sexist which also makes it funny, that the Mizukage is so concerned about not being married at her age that she mishears things as pointing out her spinsterhood. The Raikage still has that lightning quick temper (see what I did there?) and the Tsuchikage still has his bad back.
Hmm.
The most interesting part of this filler arc will be showing the Akatsuki as they begin their plans to capture the jinchuuriki. Through the course of this show and its other filler arcs, we've seen the one-tail get taken from Gaara, the two-tail was taken during the Asuma death arc, and the 3- and 6-tails were taken during their own filler arcs. The 4-, 5- and 7-tails never had their captures shown in the manga or anime, so maybe we'll get to see this happen. Fuu, the jinchuuriki for the 7-tails was shown in the preview for next episode, so I'm already expecting fun things during this filler, ah, anime only in-depth retelling arc.
