this episode was okay
the flashbacks explained a lot
yashamaru's sister, gaaras mom, i thought the picture was yashamaru untiled he mentioned her
i guess yashamaru wanted to test gaaras power, but died anyway. i think his motive might have been revenge for his sisters death
damn naruto, has to wait for someone to protect to become really strong
not that many action sequences, but that shows that the next episodes will have some, hopefully
