Seems to me that, if Kishi is as transparent as he appears to be as of late, it is pretty clear in this episode that Sasuke and Sakura are meant to be and Naruto and Hinata are meant to be. Sakura thinks about Sasuke as the one she loves, and Hinata thinks about Naruto as the one she loves. In the manga, it was two different chapters, but, being in the same chapter, the two scenes almost parallel each other, as if a direct message telling us how it's going to be when all the smoke clears.

Sakura will clearly never give up loving Sasuke, Hinata will clearly never give up loving Naruto, and, as seen before, Naruto outright rejected Sakura's advances in recognition that she is meant to be with Sasuke. This ep seems to make more concrete what we've always suspected, and, with Kishi's plot being as see-through as the mesh they use to bag onions, it appears to be a done deal.

Are you an anime only? Because I think this episode was spoiled because I already knew what was going to happen

The simple, don't read the manga. The anime comes from the manga afterall.

Let's hope we get fillers. This horrid war needs them.

Well we never know what can happen, hinata, sasuke or sakura could die by whatever means so we can't say what will happen just yet.

I've read to much :( it's to late now. Hmm as long as the fillers are interesting I don't mind them

The animation and sound effects were pretty good. Let's hope the animation budget will remain this high for the future nonfiller episodes. And strangely I enjoyed seeing Sakura punch the shit of someone again.

I wonder if the next Naruto episode will be anything like TF2's Meet the Spy xD

Even though I read the manga, I think it was a good episode. The drawing certainly improved compared to the previous episode. Hope they'll keep this animation and drawing for the rest of the series.

I don't mind these types of fillers. It lets us know what the other characters besides Naruto and Sasuke are doing in the war. Which is good because Kishi decided to have the rest of the K11 do absolutely nothing in the canon.

Its a whole lot better than those random fillers where Naruto meets some young boy/girl in a village, at first doesn't like him/her, but then later becomes friends with him/her and beats the head bad guy in the village.

True kishi didn't have enough time for konoha 11 and to develop them in this war so I think the fillers will actually be a good thing. I always wanted people like omoi and neji to have more involvement so hopefully the anime will show some of their actions in the war.

i'd wish that neji clone killed sakura lol

Lol I was hoping the anime would change things but they left it the same

Oh my gosh, yes. I've been waiting for this ever since the Team 7 reunion around episode 40. She has been asking for it for a LONG time. I was hoping that the anime would do us all a favor and take the liberty to branch from the manga slightly and kill her off, then Shizune could kill Zetsu. Heck, when they show up and see her dead body, they'll probably appoint HIM the next Hokage, along with a slow clap led by me. I have absolutely HAD it with her uselessness, her sucky attitude, and worst of all, her absolutely INSANE obsession with a serial killer. I don't even mind Sasuke all that much by comparison. Heck, I don't mind ANYONE by comparison. But at least the strength of these negative feelings shows that I am really getting into the story. As for the episode, the animation was GREAT, along with the whole horror theme. Wish I didn't read the manga. But nonetheless, we have filler next week....and the next week...and the next week....hope they at least try to make them decent.

Hate sakura? Then you need to realise how great of a character Omoi is have a look at this thread

Also yep fillers are coming up but it might not be that bad people were saying throughout this whole war kishi hadn't really developed or even shown some other characters much, fillers will fill us in on what was going on else were in this war. Hopefully it will really make it feel like war.

I agree almost completely... Sakura is definitely not my favorite character mostly for the fact that she is the main heroine but is pretty much worthless to the plotline (she could disapear from the show and nothing would really change) and pines over a mentally unstable murderer (who is one of my favorites). Everytime she's like "Oh Sasuke..." or "I'm already in love..." I lose my mind I just don't understand how she could still 'love' him (Really how can 13 year olds 'fall in love'?)

I Digress. I did like the episode this week good animation and I LOVED evil Neji :D

She is disliked because she doesnt lie? wtf?

No, because she can't get over Sasuke - i mean really, he has never ever showed her any affection. It's like in real life, when some people can't just take a hint. She's allowed to care for him, but she really needs to move on. Major Time
