From here on out the producers might as well make random arcs, like the Adventures of Naruto and CAPTAN PLANET! Now that would be better than this shit.

I was a little surprised to see that everyone hated this ep. I thought it was good. The fight was a little taste of how the fights used to be, not just raw power (we got to see Neji in action, yay). I didn't find Naruto annoying at all, he was just eager to get the villain (which obviously isn't Koumei). It was cool that the ghost-ninja "bit the cyanid" so they wouldn't find out who it was. The water ninjas lokked alittle like the "lucky/unlucky" ninjas from the chuunin exam.
It's so obvious now that Mousei (the humble fat guy) is the villain that I'm thinking that it can't be him. Maybe it is though, Naruto isn't really the home of the most creative plot-twists.
My first post and it is for such a lame filler...
Oh well...
This is such a scooby-Doo Episode, that the estates of Iwao Takimoto and Hanna Barbera should freakin' sue.
Anyone else here keeps looking at the apprentice and think he looks like Shaggy minus the goatee, and with glasses? He even EATS like Shaggy for chrissakes (remember in the Ramen shop?!
Here's my guess on plot...
- the "Feudal Lord" is not the Son, the Son was the one killed. That is the sister posing as the lord to find the killer. She found the Son dead, and changed clothing with him.
- The Ghost is a Ninja, hired by the Princess to flush out the killer using some kind of Puppet Jutsu
- the Villian is actually working with a Water Country type villian, complete with Mist Ninja, to take over the land, which secretly has something valuable, like, say a Curry of Life Mine
How I see it break down:
Apprentice = Shaggy
TenTen = a Kick Ass Daphne
Neji = Fred
Naruto = Scobby Doo.
Well, I know I will be right when Characters resembling Don Knotts and Phyllis Diller show up.
The lord had quite a manly voice. I think that prevents him from being a woman in disguise.Originally posted by: Brandu

That was a VERY feminine face.
The fact that TenTen mentioned that he was cute seems to me to be a classic setup for that being a female, just like Naruto thinking that Haku was a cute chick.
If she was twins with the son they probably practiced taking each other's places as twins sometimes do in stories.
Anyway. I think that is how it will play out. That's why nobody can get close to the new "lord" cause then she'd be found out... she can manitain the masquerade from a distance or with people who dont know very well, but of course not with childhood friends.
You know that is not a bad plot twist and with the other hypothetical things you said they would turn out to make this arc just a little better. But knowing how the storylines have been going so far, I doubt that they make it that interesting. Its probably gonna be that the ninja is someone who is in the Bird country garrison but has some inate ninja skills (kinda like a bloodline trait) and the Musho or whatever his name is (seemingly good guy) is actually the bad guy, Whereas the Koumei is actually a good guy working to help the rightful Fuedal lord get his position and secure it. Maybe even the ghost is actually the fuedal lord in disguise trying to find out who killed his dad or something like that.
But yeah I didnt think it was completely bad, it did interest me enough for me to want to see the ending of it.
