10. A Clash of Fate: You Can't Bring me Down: This episode is set at the point when Naruto and one his sensei named Iruka are fighting an old enemy named Mizuzi who's teamed up with Orochimaru to get power and the way they show them fighting in not only well animated but it's incredibly creative, incredibly well moved and well thought out. But the reason I like this episode a lot is because of the ending. It's when Tsunade arrives and we get what the whole thing with Mizuki and Orochimaru. And the music in this scene and the way it's animated and told is very nice to listen to. But the whole scene with fight is also cool to see as well.
9. Roar Chidori! Brother vs. Brother: While in a hotel, Naruto and Sasuke meet Sasuke's older brother, Itachi and his partner named Kisame trying to kidnap Naruto to get the Nine-Tailed Fox out of him and use it as a weapons. And both Itachi and Kisame are part of an evil organisation called the Akatsuki who are trying to collect all the tailed beasts and make them a weapon. When Sasuke finds them, he uses a jutsu called Chidori to try and kill Itachi because he wants revenge for killing their entire family years ago. But Itachi manages to defeat him and uses a special jutsu with his eyes called the Sharingan that all the Uchiha family have and he uses it to show Sasuke a vision of the night he killed their family to torcher him. Afterwards, they escape when help arrives and they leave Naruto behind. So what I do like is the cool fight that Sasuke and Itachi have. It's really cool and even though it's not very long and it's really only Itachi who does anything by just smacking Sasuke around, it's still cool to look at. But on top of that, we finally get a little bit of backstory on Sasuke and why he's always acting so unhappily.
8. The Vessel Arrives Too Late: After Sasuke leaves the leaf village with Orochimaru's henchmen to go to Orochimaru to get power and kill Itachi, Naruto, along with his other friends including Shikamaru, Neji, Choji and Kiba go after them. There's 4 henchmen and they put Sasuke in some coffin while he's beginning to get new powers. They all fight 1 and the rest go on after them. Orochimaru is trying to take over Sasuke's body because his own is rotting away. Well because they haven't arrived yet, Orochimaru has to take over another body. And because he did, he can't do the jutsu again for another 3 years. And, in case you're wondering, no, Sasuke doesn't know what Orochimaru is planning. Anyway, what I like here is that it's a very dark episode and we see pretty creepy shots of Orochimaru's arms rotting and him trying to decide whether he should do it or not because if it went on any more, he'd of died. And the scene where he does take over another guys body is beyond gruesome. I would watch this if you're not a teen.
7. Please, Mr. Postman: Out of all the Naruto episodes, this one is the funniest in my opinion. It starts off with Naruto helping some postman guy called a Delivery Ninja and then he find one of sensei's, Jiraiya, who's just messing around and writing stories while waiting for a member of the Akatsuki to come to town. Naruto says maybe while they're waiting, they can do training but Jiraiya says he has to do a book he's writing. That night, while Jiraiya sleeping, Naruto discovers that he hasn't written anything yet, so he decides to write it himself and send it to Jiraiya's publisher. When he goes to post it, he accidently knocks into 2 men who are posting documents to some other place. But they accidently get mixed up and they get sent to the wrong place and they both give them to 2 Delivery Ninjas. Jiraiya realises that Naruto wrote the book and is angry when he finds out what he wrote and they decide to go after the Delivery Ninja to stop him. And from that we get a hilarious chase scene with them getting after him. And in my opinion, the funniest scene is when Naruto uses a jutsu on the Delivery Ninja to try and stop him and Jiraiya sees it. When I see that scene, I feel like I'm gonna die from laughing. And the ending to this episode is beyond priceless with how funny it is. The comedy in this is just perfect.
6. The Sand Shinobi: Allies of the Leaf: Sometime during the fight between the leaf ninjas against the sound ninjas, help finally arrives from the Leaf Villages allies from the Sand Village in the form of Garra, Kankuro and Temari. Garra helps Lee, Kankuro helps Kiba and Temari helps Shikamaru. And while that's going on, Naruto is chasing after Sasuke who's gotten out of the coffin and is going crazy and is headed towards Orochimaru. So what I like here is the twist that the Sand Shinobi are helping the Leaf Shinobi for once because the last time we saw those 3, they were attacking the Leaf Village. But it's revealed they were only doing that because they were ordered to. And the other thing I like the fight scenes and the gruesome scenes we see from them fighting. And on top of that, it's just cool to see the 3 Sand siblings again and see to see them being good this time. And the scenes they're in, while really not that long, are really, really cool. Even small scenes like with Naruto are pretty awesome. And so that's all adds up to my number 6 spot.
5. The battle begins: Naruto vs. Sasuke: After a mission where Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura help some escort, Sasuke is in the hospital after getting hurt and is thinking about how much Naruto has gotten stronger is angry and jealous of it. He thinks maybe he's surpassed and then when Sakura and Naruto come to visit, he challenges Naruto to a fight and they begin a fight on the roof. And the fight in this scene is awesome. I mean, yeah, you don't really what them to fight but it's still a cool fight and it ends with them about to use Rasengan and Chidori on each other. Just that image at the end is really chilling. And all through the fight, Sakura is trying to stop them fighting. My favourite part here is the actual fight. If you've seen the episode, which I doubt you have, you'd know what I was talking about. Watch.
3. The Promise That Could Not Be Kept: After the fight between Naruto and Sasuke at the Final Valley, Sasuke escapes and goes off to Orochimaru and Naruto is found by Kakashi and taken back to the leaf village hospital and now he's worrying about Sasuke because he knows what Orochimaru is planning. But Jiraiya tells him that Sasuke is safe because Orochimaru can't use the Jutsu for another 3 years. It's kinda hard to explain what I like about this episode. I just do and the scenes where we see Tsunade trying to help the others with their injuries are kinda cool. And the scene where Sakura finds out that Sasuke is gone I do think is very powerful.
2. For a friend: This takes place during the fight at the final Valley and Naruto has unleashed the power of the Nine Tailed Fox has gone crazy with fighting Sasuke. Eventually they talk and Sasuke says he can't turn back. He then also gets his next stage of the Sharingan and he's able to read Naruto's moves and then Naruto unleashes a new stage of the Nine Tail's power. One we've never seen before and good lord does he go nuts with power. And eventually Sasuke uses the power of the Curse Mark, a mark that Orochimaru gave him a while ago and was having it's power double while he was in the coffin. He transforms into a monster. If you want you can watch the fight, go a head, but keep in mind that it's really long so if you don't want to watch it, keep reading.
And my number 1 favourite Naruto episode is... The End of Tears: This episode is just incredible. It's the final episode of the fight between Naruto and Sasuke and what thy do with it is unbelievable. What I find most jaw dropping is when Naruto and Sasuke touch their Jutsus together and it creates some ginormous black sphere with the inside it. But, like I said a minute ago, what I really like is when Kakashi and Pakkun find Naruto and they look over the edge and see the river and they're talking. The way they talk and the music and the animation in this scene is very nice. And there's another nice scene where Sasuke is walking the other way to Orochimaru and is thinking about his family and Itachi and Naruto and thinking maybe he shouldn't kill Naruto because Itachi once said that if he kills his best friend he'll get the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan which is the most powerful of all the Sharingan. And all that is why The End of Tears is my all time favourite Naruto episode.
