I guess this ep could be filler, but it doesn't matter if it's filler if it's also good, and it is.

It was nice to see Naruto seriously thinking about what it meant that he was the living container for Kyubi and that Akatsuki would be back to get him. It was also nice seeing him have fun for a change. I wish the goldfish booth owner hadn't stopped his jutsu; I wanted to see which one he was going to choose, : P. I can't believe cheating on catching goldfish with jutsus is so common they need a sign.... And Jiraiya was great in this ep. And Gai, does he just carry those green suits around with him? And Naruto! He learned Gai's smile! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] THAT is truely the greatest techinique.
