I thought it was a very good episode. It had some interesting points: (1) Even though it was funny when Gai gave Naruto the green outfit (and Naruto happily accepted it) this just proves that Naruto will do anything to get stronger; (2) Did anyone else catch Jiraiya telling Naruto to summon a tracking toad if he needed to find him? Does this mean Naruto has mastered the Toad summoning technique? The introduction of the "New Technique". I wonder what the outcome would be if Sasuke's Lightning Edge hit Naruto's Swirl. It was really funny when Naruto was losing at the fish game and started to use a jutsu, and the owner points to a no jutsu using sign. All in all, a great episode.
