NARUTO-THE SCROLL’S SECRET:NO PEEKING ALLOWED-EPISODE 35-3 STARS

One thing I like about this episode is that we get a chance to see what Naruto looks like with his eyes open, and without that lame ass ninja suit he’s always wearing. Yeah, I know he has his eyes closed in this first picture, but keep looking and you’ll see what I mean. He’s actually kind of cute……….not that I would date him or anything like that, c’mon, isn’t he like 12 years old?

As they eat their fish, Sakura and Sasuke realize that all they have is a measly earth scroll and time is running out for them. When Sasuke leaves to look for water, Naruto comes up with this brilliant idea that they should cheat by creating a heaven scroll using the contents of their earth scroll. Only thing is, they’re not supposed to open the scroll at all, wasn’t he listening?

So Naruto pulls out all these other scrolls from his bag, and this is kind of funny…..isn’t he supposed to be carrying weapons and food? But oh no, he fills up his bag with a bunch of scrolls. Oh well it’s Naruto, and I should have expected that. So the plan is to duplicate whatever is in the earth scroll to produce a heaven scroll, and he’s not the only one with that idea, some other ninjas in another part of the forest are about to do the same thing, and boy will they be sorry!

So these two ninjas open up their scroll all ready to cheat, but get the crap knocked out of them, and it’s all over for them, next. Okay, now back to Naruto who’s taking a mighty long time opening his scroll. “Look Naruto, stop being a chicken, you said you were gonna open it, now open it, and stop wasting all this valuable TV time ’cause you’re scared.”

So he’s about to open it, when Kabuto stops him. Hey everybody, Kabuto’s back, that’s my guy! Now I know all of you remember him from episode 23, right? He’s the one that took the ninja exam 50 million times, but haven’t passed yet. Well he might actually pass this time, especially since he has both the heaven and earth scroll, good going.

Kabuto tells Naruto and the gang that the scrolls are protected by a powerful hypnosis jutsu that will knock you into the middle of next week, but it won’t kill you. But by the time you wake up, the exam will be over, and you fail. Not only does Kabuto reveal this valuable information, but he also decides to help the gang find a heaven scroll. What does he want in return, a little protection. See, there’s only one day left in the competition, and ninjas are desperate for that scroll, so things are gonna start getting more dangerous.

As they make their way through the forest, everyone is using sharp stealth skills, but Naruto on the other hand, well take a look for yourself.

Now do you see what I’m talking about?

Naruto walks into a trap that unleashes a bunch of spears, but Kabuto is the one that gets hit in the back. I don’t know if he accidentally fell on Naruto, or if he used himself as a shield, but why would he do that? Oh I know why, if Naruto gets killed, the series would be over, and Kabuto would be out of a job, yeah that makes sense. So Kabuto takes a few hits in the back, or did he? Wait, it looks like he used a substitution jutsu to escape, good going!

But the competition is heating up as these ninja clones start popping out from everywhere and there’s about to be a major showdown…….well, you’ll have to wait until the next episode for that!
