Naruto Shippuuden - Episode 126
Twilight
Karin notices everyone from the Konoha platoon. Hebi has to move fast. They will continue to search for Itachi and only make contact with Konoha’s shinobi if it’s really unavoidable.
They split Sasuke’s scent using Juugo’s birds and Naruto goes Kage Bunshin so he can check everywhere. And so, he encounters.. Itachi.
Naruto’s encounter with Itachi was really cool. The scene had all the important details, like Itachi’s smile. The gengutsu scene was also awesome, I really liked the art direction here. Meanwhile, Jiraya has discovered that Akatsuki’s "leader" is in the Hidden Rain. So, he plans on going there to verify the information, before devising an attack.
While discussing with Tsunade, she shows signs of liking him. Tsunade is worried, this whole conversation seems to have an higher purpose for the author. Of course I couldn’t tell what it was the first time I read it. They also talk about Naruto, how he evolved and his resemblance to his parents, majors hints here lol. Meanwhile, Naruto’s conversation is not shown and he omits it from his teammates
Overall, really nice episode, even though the animation wasn’t much for half of it. The next episode will be some kind of Gaiden about Jiraya. Not sure if will all be a flashback, there will probably be some filler, at least I don’t remember it taking two episodes in the manga.
- Next Episode: Tales of a Gutsy Ninja
I can’t believe that Naruto is the son of the 4th hokage. Well they have the same color of hair. lol
