10 Second Anime - Naruto Shippuuden - Episode 404

Naruto Shippuuden - Episode 404



Tenten's team tangles with ninjas from the Hidden Rain. An accident separates team members, forcing a temporary truce.

Heh.

Hey, episode not found? What the...

 

Error 404 jokes aside, squee! Tenten arc! Being caught between a genius and two enthusiastic muscle heads forces Tenten to be the level-headed one, but it always comes across as frustration. No wonder this group was chosen as joke fodder for Rock Lee's Springtime of Youth spinoff manga. I still miss that anime adaptation.

 

Tenten wants to be special too, not just convenient. We've seen sometime in the past how Tenten has to prepare her summon scrolls, so her specialization should be preparation and planning.

 

It was a big deal when Guy got serious and brought out his nunchakus, but it should have made sense that he used them to train the weapon specialist Tenten.

 

Guy doesn't just have muscles in his head. He also has wisdom and experience. To bring out bigger summons, you need more chakra and you can get more chakra by increasing your stamina. So Tenten needed to work out so that she could even summon a whole ocean!

Okay, maybe not a whole ocean... With all the physical training Lee does, he should have tons of chakra too, but his problem is not being able to mold it. This is why Guy went the other way with Lee in making him use his chakra to open the Inner Gates of the body.

Ha! Kakashi sighting. "Coincidentally" climbing the same cliff Guy is climbing with one hand tied behind his back. Literally tied behind his back. Kakashi - S-Class Troll in the Bingo Book.

 

 

Hmm.

With a collapse causing the Hidden Rain team and Team Guy to stop fighting and try to rescue Tenten and the other girl, we have a chance for some grrl power next episode as they fight off big Demon Desert animals. It's also another chance for Team Guy to make some more friends, although it might not happen because of how secretive the Hidden Rain village has to be before they reveal Pain to the ninja world.

 

Tenten being paired up with another summoner, one who idolizes Konan, should give us some nice characterization for Tenten and some details on what's going on in the Hidden Rain. Of course, those Hidden Rain ninja aren't interested in Team Guy, so I wonder if we'll see them discover that Fuu or Gaara are jinchuuriki. I don't know how big a secret Gaara's status is to the outside ninja world, so maybe we'll find out.
