This episode was just full of silly holes.

Not only was Gaara as a teacher well disturbing as already stated but Shinkamaru's plan seemed well beyond flawed. You want none of your ambush team to act on there own so you pair up Naruto and Lee.... I mean sense when have those two kept there cool at any point. Sakura is leading any part of this and was so important to the mission he made a special request??? Sense when has Sakura had the ability to lead anyone. I would simply assume Neji to be the far more competent leader in that group.

Anyway I can't be mad at this filler as it should be the last one it just seems as always a bit off.
