such an interesting read of the fight " I love how Naruto transforms him into the Nine Tails as a way to symbolize that he's achieving a similar level of strength to Gaara but without giving himself over to the demon sealed inside of him" very well said. i agree with everything u wrote especially about seeing some more of the characters! it was so cool seeing some of the ninjas parents tho <3

It's basically the culmination of the last two arcs, even tho I have to say it kinda retroactively hurts Rock Lee's cred lol. There are so many parallels between the two characters, Naruto gets his first moment to shine as the main character in a long time, and seeing Gamabunta and the summoning jutsu in action will never get old to me. I love how Naruto transforms him into the Nine Tails as a way to symbolize that he's achieving a similar level of strength to Gaara but without giving himself over to the demon sealed inside of him like Gaara is. He's not making the same sacrifices Gaara is, and still manages to win the fight. I loved when big bro pointed out how Hiruzen was passing on his will and hopes to the villagers. It's of course sad to lose him, but what his sacrifice represents is the true message. Also, while he was not able to kill Orochimaru in this fight, he effectively stopped his ability to attack the Leaf directly so in a way he still succeeded in his goal of defending the village. I do agree that the amount of cutbacks to that fight sort of spoils the tension of Hiruzen vs. Orochimaru but it's mainly an anime pacing issue and isn't as present in the manga. Plus, the earlier portions of the fight were still really cool. I think if they really needed to pad the episode time, I would have appreciated seeing more of what the other Genin characters who aren't under genjutsu are doing during this attack, like Neji and Shikamaru for example, instead of repeatedly cutting back to the Third Hokage and Orochimaru having a staring contest
