NARUTO-BATTLE FORMATION: INO-SHIKA-CHO!-EPISODE 33-3 STARS

15. November 2008 by Ria.

Now I was really gonna give this episode 2 1/2 stars since Sasuke once again takes center stage, and my favorite character Naruto is still passed out somewhere, but Ino and her team show their stuff, so why shortchange them? Now remember, in the last episode, Sakura was about to get her brains beat in by the village of the hidden sound ninjas, until Ino steps in to save her.

Yeah, I guess she did the right thing, but I wouldn’t have intervened so fast, I would have let Sakura get slapped around just a little longer before steppin’ in to save her. So Ino and Shikamaru are ready to do battle, but Chouji wimps out……..until hidden sound ninja #2 calls him a fat ass, and now he’s ready to fight.

You know, I think it’s so funny how some people want to eat like pigs, but get all pissed off when someone calls them fat. Oh well, at least he’s ready to fight and that’s all we care about, right? Chouji uses an expansion jutsu followed by a leaf style tai jutsu in order to change into a human boulder. I guess he’s gonna roll over that dude and quash him flat. Well, he could have done that without using a jutsu, but whatever……..

Hidden sound ninja #1 tries to help, but Shikamaru uses a shadow possession jutsu to stop him. It’s actually a really cool jutsu since he can paralyze an opponent with it. Now it’s my girl Ino’s turn. She uses her mind transfer jutsu to take over hidden sound ninja #3’s body, and threatens to stab her in the neck if they don’t drop the scroll and run away.

But those guys aren’t about to do that, and they attack her while she’s still in their teammate’s body. Damn, that’s some scandalous stuff, sacrificing their own partner just so they can kill Sasuke. Well, it may be worth it since he is getting on my nerves……So now Ino is hurt, and Chouji is sick since he got caught in the middle of the blast. To make things worst, Shikamaru’s shadow jutsu wears off, and now all three of them are in trouble.

But maybe not, since Neji and Tenten show up to kick some butt after they find their team member Rock Lee out of commission. Speaking of Rock, where is he?

Oh there he is, all knocked out, just like Naruto (sigh). Good, now I get a chance to see if Neji can really fight. And speaking of him, I need a close up of that dude……

There we go. Aw c’mon, what’s wrong with a good screenshot of one of the series cutest characters? Yes, I know you girls thought it was Sasuke, but it’s not so get over it. So Neji and Tenten are ready to battle, but Sasuke wakes up from his demonic stupor looking mean as hell, so everybody backs away.

Actually Sasuke looks hideous right now, what did that Orochimaru dude do to him? Sasuke uses his fire jutsu in combination with shurikens to attack one of the hidden sound ninjas, then breaks his arms. Wow, I never realized how lucky I am to be sitting behind a computer and not out in the wilderness with him, I could have been next on his list.

After mangling that guy up, Sasuke goes after the other one, but Sakura stops him by grabbing him from behind and crying like the little child that she is. Doesn’t this remind you guys of a Inuyasha and Kagome scene? After watching his teammates get owned, Hidden sound ninja #1 gives up the scroll and then scrams with his fallen partners.

Well I guess we don’t have to worry about those bums anymore. Oh yeah, Sasuke returns to normal, as if he ever was………..
