This episode failed worse than the Georgian rebellion occuring at the moment. (The country, not the state.)

It's going to be annoying to see naruto not being able to fight off the kyuubi later in the series when he just did in this ep. I also do not understand why the hokage doesn't take out sora before he gets too many tails... She is just sitting in her office... I thought the Hokage was supposed to protect the village. She isn't doing much from within that office of hers. But then again, I guess it is good that they don't have her do anything, as the fillers would probably ruin Tsunade's character like they do with most other characters they focus on.
