A wasted week for sure. Unlike Artris, I think the highlight of this ep was seeing Yamato fall to the oldest trick in the Naruto ninja book, as absolutely foreseeable as that was to the audience.

At least next week we should see some real action, though it's a bit strange if Sasuke can effectively fight against Sakura and Kakashi in his current weary condition. It would be a nice record, however, to beat two hokage in a day, haha.
