Daybreak – Sakura Haruno

Sakura on the River – Naruto

So there hasn’t been much love for Sakura lately. She’s lost a lot of airtime within the Anime and doesn’t seem to be in the manga within the later chapters. Seems like Masashi Kishimoto has completely forgotten about her.

Well don’t worry, I’ve taken the time to show her some love on Daily Anime Art by posting this fantastic art which has been drawn by Darkartmind87. You should definitely go and check out his awesome fan arts.

Personally I think Masashi Kishimoto is holding out on us with Sakura, there must be a reason why he’s not showing her, possibly when Sasuke, Naruto and Sakura all meet up Kishimoto could delay and drag the episode by showing Sakura’s rage and power as she forcefully fights to get Sasuke back. She cries in front of both of them showing how many feelings she had while she was fighting.

What are your thoughts on this, do you think that she will somehow interfere the long waited fight between Naruto vs Sasuke, or will she actually get Sasuke back?

The Kid in Black & Orange – Naruto Uzumaki

Yeah, I was talking about Naruto. Naruto from his cheeky monkey days, around 10 years ago, when the anime had just started were possibly… the worst episodes ever. I gotta be joking right? No, they weren’t that good. Naruto had courage be he was always misunderstood. He was made into this annoying character who had to be further developed.

After a few episodes at the Ninja School, we started to understand that Naruto was somewhat special in some way, everyone else might have thought that he was a straight up idiot, but there had to be a reason why he was perceived in such a way!

Naruto fought and fought and finally gained his first friend, Sasuke. He then gained acknowledgement by his peers including Sakura, Rock Lee, Gaara, Neji and many others! Naruto was finally gaining some hero points after saving them in tough situations. He was now being seen by some as a friend and a comrade who they can depend on.

Naruto grew up and had a large number of solid friends who would do anything for him. But one thing was missing, his challenge, given by Sakura that one night, was for Naruto to bring Sasuke back. His first and main friend, comrade, rival and brother was missing!

He fought Pain, and was acknowledged from all of his friends and villagers of Konoha. But one person wasn’t there. He might have made everyone else happy, but was Naruto himself happy? I’m guessing No. Naruto, the not so bad kid continues his journey to find his best friend!

Thanks for reading! Hope it brought a few old memories from Naruto’s past which you loved! Art belongs to Renny08. Don’t forget to comment, like and share this post to your friends!

Naruto Saves Team 7 – Rivals – Naruto Shippuden 258

7 Replies

Today’s Naruto Shippuden 258, is the second part of the 4 part April special, which is to recap some of the episodes to shed light on recent events on Naruto and Sasuke’s Relationship. We start of at the Forest of Death where Sasuke is found to be injured. He’s saved by Naruto multiple times. At the end, Sasuke finds himself learning the Chidori from Kakashi to face Gaara.

The start of the episode features all the students who passed stage one to go to stage two. Which is to obtain two scrolls, the Heaven and Earth Scroll, they have to obtain both of these to pass onto the next stage.

Sasuke is found to be hurt at this point, when a large snake appears. He kills it when an enemy arrives to grab their scroll. Sasuke gives up and wants to give it up. Naruto appears and call Sasuke a chicken as he’s trying to give up so quickly. Naruto also calls Sasuke a fake as he would have never done such a think.

Naruto grabs the scroll when Sasuke throws it to the enemy. Naruto punches Sasuke so he would get clear. As Naruto goes for an attack, he’s hit by the gigantic summoned snake. He somehow survives when by using the power of the fox, Kurama. Naruto keeps attacking until Sasuke notices how powerful Naruto has gotten.

When Sasuke targeted, Naruto saves him using Kurama’s power, by holding the mouth of the snake back. Naruto calls him a scaredy cat as he couldn’t even move. Sasuke looks at he’s past and how he treated Naruto as well as he’s long-term goals and attacks the snake.

After walking for a long time. They are once attacked by a couple of Genjutsu’s who are able to clone themselves rapidly. Naruto attacks but fails. He uses the Multi Shadow Clone to create a large number of clones which they can then attack.

Naruto and the others fights for a long time until they are realized to have run out of energy. As the real people show up, they are all tired. At a point, they reveal that they were actually shadow clones made by Naruto. While the real ones were hiding.

At this point, Naruto would be out of chakra as he’s right leg is literally out of energy. But out of no where Naruto connects he’s right hook and kicks their asses in one attack. Sasuke and the others are shocked at how much chakra he still had.

During the introduction of the Third Stage, Sasuke mentions to Naruto that he wants to fight him in a face off to determine which one of them is more powerful. After some time, Sasuke and Kakashi meet up above a large rock, he explains that they both have similar powers and that he will teach Sasuke a new technique to use. The Chidori.

Running late, Sasuke and Kakashi use a technique which uses leaves to transport them to the stage. Naruto notices how he’s changed in both looks and confidence. Sasuke notices the grin on he’s face and mentions that he won his first fight against Neji. Sasuke stares at Gaara and Gaara does the same to Neji. They will both fight next. The Episode here.

This adventure between Sasuke and Naruto continues next week with Naruto Shippuden 259, titled Rift. They start to move apart as Sasuke realizes how powerful Naruto is getting in just a short time. Can’t wait till these fillers end and we get back to the Forth Shinobi War.

Team 7 Formed – Meeting – Naruto Shippuden 257

This week’s Naruto Shippuden is unfortunately a filler. However this episode has enhanced repeats of past episode with better action as well as better draw background and characters. It wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. Naruto gains his head band as well as Team 7 being formed. They go through the bell test with Kakashi and pass with flying colors. They start their first mission while Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura are quickly attacked, Kakashi saves and kicks the enemies asses.

The episode starts with Naruto, as always playing pranks as well as causing trouble for everyone around him. Third Hokage visits him to give some money for the him to buy the necessary things. Naruto asks why he doesn’t have any parents, The Third just tells him that it’s unnecessary for him to tell him this since it was such a long time ago.

Both Naruto and Sasuke are put into the same class. Sasuke is told to make a Shadow Clone, as Naruto becomes angered, he tries to punch one of the clone but the clone turns into steam and he hits the tree. Everyone laughs at him.

As time goes on, Naruto starts to request matches with everyone, and every time he looses. At this point he faces Sasuke. The current situation is different as when Naruto is beat, he notices in Sasuke’s eyes that all the anger he has is not for Naruto but for someone else, possibly his brother Itachi.

Afterwards, Naruto notices Sasuke go into the entrance of the Uchiha Clan, where he finds it to be close since Itachi, his brother, had killed all his comrades. Naruto in class hears that the other children are talking about how Sasuke is the only survivor of the Uchiha Clan.

Naruto finally gains his own head band since he has now become a Genin. Team 7 meet with Kakashi. He tells them that they have an exercise the day after which will determine if they pass or fail their classe.

The next day, Kakashi explains that they have to get the two balls which will allow them to pass. The clock starts and both Sakura and Sasuke go to hide. Only Naruto stays to fight. He starts by trying to punch but he’s moves are all blocked. At one point, Kakashi pokes his fingers into Naruto’s ass which launches into the air and to a pond nearby. Naruto sends a few clones to grab Kakashi but fails ultimately.

Sasuke and Sakura also fail since their moves unable to get even near him. But Sasuke was able to touch one of the bells. Naruto cheats as he just wants to eat and is quickly captured. They all have failed.

Kakashi explains that they have another chance for them to gain the bells in the afternoon. If they want to take on the challenge, they must eat their lunch, but Naruto must get none of it. Sasuke and Sakura both accept the challenge and they start eating.

Naruto, hungry as ever, starts to cringe as his stomach starts to crave for food. Sasuke thinks about what Kakashi had said, and gives Naruto food despite Kakashi said not too. Sakura agrees and also gives him her food.

Out of nowhere, Kakashi comes and tells them that have passed. As people who break the rules are scum. But people who abandon their friends, are worse than scum. They pass and for the first time, they take a group picture with all four of them there.

During the start of their first mission, two very powerful Mist ninja’s capture Kakashi and slice him in pieces. Out of nowhere, Sasuke start by protecting Naruto, as he’s the next victim for them. After a few moments, Kakashi comes out from nowhere as he captures both of Mist ninjas within seconds! The slices up Kakashi was just a Shadow Clone.

Naruto notices how calm and cool Sasuke has stayed within that situation. He get’s really angered as well as upset and tells himself how he wasn’t able to do anything in that situation. Naruto stabs his own left hand and tells himself that he wont put himself into that kind of situation where he’s helpless, he swears it on the pain of his left hand. The Episode ends here.

That was a good episode. It was a filler, but personally it was very quick from previous episode as it showed quite a lot of things in one from all the other old Naruto episodes. Also some new bits were included to make sure it wasn’t just a repeat of past episodes. Keep in mind that there are 3 more filler episodes left. Next week’s Naruto Shippuden 258 will be named Rivals.
