The comedy with Naruto pretending to be Sasuke was great but the ending with Sasuke thinking about Orochimaru felt a bit heavy for a filler episode

Naruto doing his best Sasuke impression was actually hilarious and it made the whole mission with Naho worth it

Naruto's bumbling attempt to impersonate Sasuke really just emphasized for me how far gone the *real* Sasuke was, swallowed by darkness. It's such a gut punch seeing that Sannin rivalry reflection with Team 7, and I can't shake the feeling they might be trapped in a cycle, fated to repeat the exact same heartbreaking history as Jiraiya and Orochimaru.
