Wow. I acutally like these episodes. I thought they would filler up Jiraiya's history, but it actually filled in a lot of blanks from the manga. It was actually a little more the 2 chapters of material when you consider that a lot was taken from pieces of chapters, and expanded. Not only that but doing the Yahiko, Konan, and Nagato flashback earlier with actually speed up the pace later where the manga slowed it down. I applaud the studio for this decision. Good episodes. 8/10
