seeing sumaru get taken by the thief after all that training makes you feel for the kid and his obsession with the star

you rarely see rock lee and tenten working alone like this, so it was cool seeing them try to sneak around even if they failed and got spotted immediately

The mystery with Sumaru and that thief is actually interesting for filler. The song his mom sang was pretty sad

Episode Context

A filler episode that leans into mystery and emotional weight rather than pure action. Expect an investigative tone as Naruto and the group confront the theft of a sacred artifact from Hoshigakure, the Star Village. The episode introduces a flying masked ninja adversary, which adds genuine intrigue to the proceedings. The real heart here, though, belongs to Sumaru, a young Star Village ninja whose connection to a haunting lullaby pulls the narrative toward themes of loss, heritage, and identity. The pacing splits between suspenseful detective work and quieter, introspective beats that give Sumaru's backstory room to breathe. For a filler entry deep into the post-Sasuke stretch of original Naruto, this one offers more emotional texture than most, though it remains firmly outside the canonical storyline.
