I can say this is partially all filler and some of it is important. Kakashi with the team Kurenai searching for something, the rest of it, training from Naruto, and some scenes at Konoha

The training scenes with the frogs were so boring and dragged on way too long and there was way too much talking for a filler episode that barely moved the plot forward

Watching Sai try to lie to Naruto was actually pretty funny because he is so bad at it and Naruto saw right through him before heading to talk with Tsunade

Episode Context

This is a filler episode, so temper expectations accordingly. 'The Two Charms' slows the pace considerably, prioritizing character introspection over combat. Naruto, Tsunade, and Guren each face personal crossroads that test their resolve and loyalties, with the episode leaning heavily into themes of trust, protection, and quiet determination. The tone is contemplative and emotionally driven, don't expect flashy set pieces here. Instead, the episode uses its runtime to build out the internal worlds of its characters, particularly Guren's conflicted motivations and Naruto's unwavering stubbornness in the face of uncertainty. The deliberate pacing may frustrate viewers hungry for action, but it functions as a breather episode that emphasizes emotional stakes. Strictly a setup installment that rewards patience more than it delivers immediate payoff.
