Naruto and his toad saw the 3 tailed beast in front that is very scary, I love them showing how massive and powerful a normal tailed beast to other person.

I saw Naruto do a one handed rasengan in the mist and it is bothering me because he usually needs a clone for that and I wonder if it was just a hallucination or actual training

The three tails design is terrifying and the way it caused a tsunami after breaking guren crystal was a lot to take in

Episode Context

This is a filler episode, so canon-story purists can skip it without losing narrative ground. That said, it delivers on its promise of high-octane action as the Hidden Leaf faces a tailed beast threat head-on. The pacing is relentless, expect urgent tactical sequences and physical confrontations that keep the tension elevated throughout. Naruto and his allies are front and center, and the episode leans into themes of teamwork, duty, and standing firm against overwhelming force. The animation quality holds up well during the combat-heavy segments, giving the action real weight and momentum. Emotionally, it taps into the camaraderie between characters under pressure rather than advancing deeper character arcs. If you enjoy Shippuden's battle episodes and don't mind filler, there's solid spectacle here. If you're pushing through to canon material, this one's safely skippable.
