NARUTO-CLONE V.S. CLONE:MINE ARE BETTER THAN YOURS-EPISODE 36-2 STARS

This episode is ok, it would have been better if Naruto and the others were up against a more interesting/popular enemy, but they weren’t, so I can only give it 2 stars. But there is a lot of action to go around, so I don’t think you’ll be too disappointed. Now in the last episode, these ninja clones came out of nowhere in order to fight for a scroll.

Naruto punches one of the clones, but his fists goes right through it, like mud. Not only that, but it doesn’t disappear like a regular clone would. Then it decides to attack Naruto, but Sasuke prevents this by throwing a shuriken at it. Sasuke is also ready with his sharingan, but please, when was the last time Sasuke successfully used it to defeat someone?

In fact, Sasuke has limited use of his sharingan since Orochimaru put that mark on his neck. I guess he’ll just have to do one of Sakura’s numbers and watch the fight from the sidelines. But Naruto has no intention of standing around waiting to become a casualty, so he uses his own shadow clone jutsu to even the score. Kabuto thinks this is a bad idea since the technique will take up a lot of chakra, but have you ever known Naruto to listen to what anybody has to say?

Naruto is able to get some good licks in, but the clones just keep coming back. So now everyone decides to fight, even Sakura joins in to help, just look at this………..

Can you believe it, Sakura is once again contributing in a fight, maybe I should have this screenshot framed and put on my wall. Now the ninja foes are ready to move in for the kill, but Naruto uses his shadow clones to replicate Sasuke and the others. His plan, to use them as decoys so that he can sniff out the real ninjas and beat the crap out of them.

Naruto is able to use this wicked wrestling move to knock all three of those ninja dudes out, but they counterattack with shadow clones of their own. Sasuke is running out of chakra, but musters up a little bit before being immobilized by the mark on his neck. Naruto turns to see what the fuss is all about, which is a dumb move. Doesn’t he know never to turn your back on an opponent?

Kabuto uses his body as a shield like he did in the last episode. I’ve said this before, he doesn’t want Naruto to get hurt since that could end the series for everyone, and he’ll lose his cushy acting job, you know with the recession and all. Only thing is, Kabuto is getting roughed up pretty badly, thank goodness Naruto is able to find the real ninjas behind all these clones, and spank them good, and it’s all over. And to top it all off, he was able to find a heaven scroll, just what he needed.

So now they reach the tower, and Kabuto’s teammates are there waiting for them. This doesn’t make sense, why weren’t they out fighting along side him to make sure he got back safely with both scrolls, instead of relying on Naruto? I guess I’ll just have to ask him that question before the next episode starts. Anyway, we find out that Kabuto is a sound village spy for Orochimaru. He was secretly taping Sasuke and put all the action on a disc. Only thing is, where in the hell was the camera, in the trees? You know it’s funny how this series is packed with some advanced technology like cameras and TVs, yet I haven’t seen a car or plane anywhere, only boats and a whole lot of walking.

Whatever, now it’s time to go to the next step. Naruto and his crew get to the tower, and read some riddle plastered on a wall. Don’t you hate that? You’ve been fighting for days, finally get your hands on both scrolls without losing your life, and now you have to solve some dumb riddle so you can go on to the next step. I just want to say that whoever designed this exam sucks.

Sakura realizes that in order to go to the next step, they may have to open both scrolls and read them. But suppose they get their heads chopped off? To stay on the safe side, Sasuke should open one first!
