Naruto 169! ^^

[thomasvye.livejournal.com]

:D It's Wednesday night, that very special time of the week when Naruto graces our screens with an all new story. But this week is very special because as we all know from last weeks preview, someone extremely important and smexy features in this week's episode. I know his mere presence makes the rest of story hard to follow. But bravely, we should give it a try! :D


We open with the disturbed sleep of one Mitarashi Anko...


(the text warns you to watch TV in a bright room and keep your distance from the screen...)



But what could be disturbing her sleep so....?



It is a dream of her childhood....



...looking out across the sea...



But she is not alone...



>:D Hot for Teacher Anko?



We all are. #^___^# *swoon*



(Orochi sama has this effect on all his students! :P)

O_O She's in pain from her curse seal, you perverts! Tsk! :D



Back in the real world, Shizune explains the mission with stick puppets....





No Shizune. Put them down and take off the kittty ears. Sasori danna says this is not art, un.



Naruto is meeting his comrades; I capped this for Ino's expression, for all her fans. ^^



...when they are snuck up on by Gil Grissom Shino! Naruto is scared by the power of his sneak! Shino tells them the Hokage wants to see them...

And they find out that Anko is their Leader for this mission;





Naruto remembers getting licked in the chuunin exams and is scared...

Shizune is not sure what's going on.



And off they go. ^^ When they reach the coast, memories of the island before them start coming back to Anko...





*swoon*



Moody!





Oh Anko, running from anatomical specimens? *sigh* It's science, Anko! Sceince!



Shino notices Anko is a bit under the weather; she takes off and the team go to investigate and they meet the local island pariah (an apparently disabled, heavily bandaged girl...



..and the local ninja troublemakers. They're skilled in their jutsu, but their attempts to outcool Shino in the eyewear stakes fail.



Ino gets stroppy...



.Shino. ^^

The team are sailing over to the island when they get attacked by the locals and Ino is knocked from the bost; Anko rescues her...



...and Shino is very heroic and manly...



Naruto tries to make a summoning...





But these are not the frogs he was looking for, and lost in the waters, he is rescued by the mystery girl. ^^



Next week...

Well, more Orochimaru sama being gorgeous, hopefully! XD

Thanks so much for capping this episode! :D

ShinoIno. Theirloveissorhyming. Seriously though, they should get together.

[sei-kou-ki.livejournal.com]

You can't spell Shino with out Ino after all...

[ovendoor.livejournal.com]

Naruto reminds me of pacman in the second to last cap o_ov;

[vash3857.livejournal.com]

ahahaha, thats true.

*totally hasn't been following fillers but loves Anko more than cookies* Dost my eyes deceive me? Is this Anko backstory? Hell, I'll put up with the smarmy perv for this. *glomples and Anko and begs anime-writers to give her lots and lots more screentime*

[eldylabor.livejournal.com]

Anko~ <3

There needs to be more episodes like this during the filler. Less throw-away characters and more information about characters we already know and love.

[sake-neko.livejournal.com]

Yes! For once the fillers do the thing that I've been pining for ages: an Anko arc. She just dissappeared after the chuunin exams. Even Ibiki's got more screen time than her. Kishimoto's laziness in hashing out Anko's character knows no bounds. We need more cannon Anko love! >:o

...when they are snuck up on by Gil Grissom Shino!

CSI reference FTW!

[sitiomania.livejournal.com]

Yeah! CSI rocks me so hard, and Shino is most definately alter-universe-Grissom-nin from the hidden village of awsome! :D

[thomasvye.livejournal.com]

He's the bug guy! XD

[arandomstudent.livejournal.com]

So much Orochimaru and Anko! It's not I'm a fan of the pairing or anything, but this episode has some gorgeous pictures. ^o^

[pausedsilence.livejournal.com]

this is looking like a really interesting filler (seeing as omg, anko totally kicks ass and deserves MUCH more love)..I may give this episode a go :3 (took a semi hiatus anime wise)

[rasenth.livejournal.com]

Now this is what fillers are SUPPOSED to be made of. Minor character obviously-will-never-be-retouched-on-again backstory. :DDD Damn, makes me want to watch this episode. AAAH!!

[nazonatte69.livejournal.com]

I'm glad that Anko is admitting and realizing to turning Orochi homo ^_^

[larka-14.livejournal.com]

why was ino blushing :O WTFCRUSHONNARUTO?

[sei-kou-ki.livejournal.com]

Yes. Shino, Ino AND Anko all in one episode! *fangirls*

[http://users.livejournal.com/hakane_/]

Wow...This is the perfect birthday present, in a weird sort of way. I love it! ♥

And though you probably already knew this, those two d00ds in the dorky eyewear are Akado Yoroi and Tsurugi Misumi, Kabuto's underappreciated and awesome 'team mates'.

[thomasvye.livejournal.com]

I kinda guessed it from the stretchy arm antics. ^^ The boys done good. But the shades, even sideless, are not as cool as Gil's Shino's. :D

[http://users.livejournal.com/hakane_/]

N'eeh, they're not. xD But I like them anyways. They deserve more love.

[ex-duelist.livejournal.com]

Well, apparently I'll actually have to watch the fillers for the next few weeks.

Apparently someone on the anime staff is a KakaAnko shipper, though... check out the bedroom she wakes up in. It looks exactly like Kakashi's room, same layout and all, right down to the pictures/books/alarm clock/Mr. Ukki on the windowsill... XD;

[kira-shani.livejournal.com]

omg! Its Anko! Its about time she gets some attention, shes totally awsome! Im definately watching this arc.

[splintered-soul.livejournal.com]

HURRAH! Ino finally gets some love from the fillers! And the promise of Anko makes this even more interesting.

[kunoichi-jaden.livejournal.com]

This episode was so excellent. @.@

[ninja-demongirl.livejournal.com]

downed the episode and i have ot say that this may be one of hte best fillers. I like how they brought kabutos buddies back. Good story so far too :D

[nayamashiimigot.livejournal.com]

This filler has made me die in eight thousand colors.....Orochimaru-sama~! *swoon* He is just too gorgeous here.....

I know I'd want to be his student....I'd always be going for extra credit...XD

I am so happy to see some of his backstory with Anko...Oh, how he "haunts" her so...

[thomasvye.livejournal.com]

He can keep me in detention anytime! *swoon*

[kodachikunai.livejournal.com]

That picture of Orochimaru smiling........

*swoons.*

[sd-ninja.livejournal.com]

Please tell me that is Ryoki on your icon. Hot Gimmick fan? Hmmm?

[kodachikunai.livejournal.com]

Yes to both! Nice to meet a fellow HG fan...that fandom is way too small.
