This being my first post in a while, I'll risk flogging a dead horse here: I really enjoyed the episode, the amount of action and the structure of the various stories was characteristicly appetising, with the little shots of things like pakkun changing direction serving, as usual, to make a week seem impossibly long, but i really think the little shots of konohamaru and co. were somehow disjointed. If it was some charcter that could potentially make a bit of difference in the battle or story that had been suspensfully figuring out that somthing was wrong, i would have been happier, but as it is, i dont see him genuinely being able to.....change anything...why waste time building atmosphere around him? otherwise i really loved the episode and am dying for the weekend
