It is interesting how this focuses on detective work instead of just throwing kunai around and the threat of the blueprints being gone feels like a real problem for the village

It felt so typical of Naruto to defend that old man even after the blueprints went missing and his loyalty to anyone he shares a meal with is pretty deep

I think this is one of the better filler episodes because the mystery actually feels like it has stakes. Seeing the ANBU surround Naruto at the end was a massive shock, since he was just trying to be a good friend. It is cool that the show is letting the genin handle a serious investigation while the village is being rebuilt.
