There’s a great shot of Guy waiting for news on if they’re about to be invaded which really captures a deep feeling of dread and anxiety.
#Sneaky ninja strikes again fail full#
There was enough mystery and intrigue scattered throughout with the idea of a full scale assault and/or fighting an enemy who’s already within the borders. Jared: I think there’s certainly some flaws in this arc, but it was fun to see how everyone handled the dual threats happening at the same time. I really like the different style of enemy and flow of the arc, and especially liked how many backups Genno had planned. Kevin: I’ll get more into it in my highs and lows, but in short: mostly yes. It had ninjas being sneaky, it emphasized the teamwork of all 11 of the main Genin characters, and despite it being filler, Genno's plot grew into a convincing threat that challenged three generations of Leaf Villagers. Paul: Aside from some clunky writing (“Oh, look, it's the never-before-seen grandpa character that Naruto is good friends with!”) and some scenes that required everyone to act like blockheads in order to advance the plot, I enjoyed the Genno Infiltration arc.


Do you think they’ve handled the differences well? This is the first time we’ve had a major filler arc that focused more on long-term espionage VS a large military threat. The village is on high alert, and it's up to the gang of genin to save the day. He has a plan brewing, one that's years in the making, and he's ready to execute it. The village is in danger from a famed ninja who's been on the Anbu watchlist for quite some time. There's a bit of a break from the "comedy" that we've gotten used to in terms of filler, and we're moving onto something that feels a lot different than usual: The threat is more along the lines of long-term espionage, something echoing the spy work of real-life ninjas. Welcome back to THE GREAT CRUNCHYROLL NARUTO REWATCH! Noelle Ogawa here, and I'm your host as we run through the latest group of episodes of Naruto! We're still deep in filler territory, but this time we're in for a longer, much more concentrated story.
