    While Naruto is training on his own, an eagle catches a baby onbaa. As it flies over him, Naruto accidently attacks due to which the onbaa latches on to Naruto's back without him realising it. When he returns to the Leaf Village and is talking to Sakura, then he realises that a cute looking creature is stuck to his back. Kiba tries pulling it off but it stays put. They go to Tsunade for help. Tsunade then tells the legend of the onbaa and that it stays stuck to the person it sees first thinking that person is his mother. This was just the begining of Naruto's problems. They also grew upto 9 feet! As time passes Naruto becomes fond of him, but Tsunade tries to sperate them by sending them to a mission during which they meet up with its real mother. Naruto gives the onbaa back to its mother( but after quite some running). Meanwhile, back in the village, everyone has got an onbaa and you can be sure that Naruto won't tell them how to get it off.moreless

    Naruto was walking back from his training meanwhile an eagle had something in it's claws and dropped it on Naruto. Naruto came back and saw Kiba and Sakura. Sakura saw two arms coming from Naruto's armpits. A face came and it said "onbaa" Naruto had no idea what it was so he freaked out and ran to Tsunade she said that it was an onbaa and onbaa are animals raised on their mothers back. Because it was on naruto's back it thought Naruto was its mother. Tsunade said they grow to be 9 feet tall and Naruto freaked out once more. Naruto named the onbaa Onbaa. Tsunade told Naruto to go fight mountain bandits hoping the Onbaa would get killed but, it didn't. On the way back to the village the onbaa's mother came and took back Oonbaa. Back at the village everyone had an onbaa on their back.moreless

    Naruto is training in the forest when an eagle is passing overhead and out of instinct, Naruto throws a kunai at it. He causes the eagle to drop what it was carrying onto his back. We later find out that this is an Onbaa. A creature that people think is a legend, a giant ape and bear-like creature. Naruto doesn't find out that it is there until he gts to the village and Sakura points it out to him. Tsunade remembers when Jiraiya went off in search of the monsters when they were still training under the 3rd Hokage. It seems...moreless

    First Naruto is training in the woods and an Onbaa gets on his back. Now Naruto is a mother even though he is a male which made it look totally funny. Second Tsunade is telling the story about the Onbaa's and Jiraiya goes into the woods and brings back drawings of it that he defeated it and that was totally funny and I laughed like crazy at it. Last but not least comes the end when the whole village is full of Onbaa's and sticking on there backs. But before that Sakura punches Naruto and she is so angry at him and that was funny also. I give this episode a 10 out of 10.moreless

    This reminds me of that one episode of SpongeBob... You know, the one where Sandy goes out of town for a few days and SpongeBob and Patrick have to take care of her pets and there's this one caterpillar thing named Wormy and he turns into a butterfly and scares the living crap out of everyone? I guess you'd have to think like me to see the resemblance... Anyway, Naruto is out training in the woods one day when a hawk drops an Onbaa on his back. It's the cutest little thing in the whole world, but everyone is scared to death of it, especially Hinata who was stalking Naruto. Apparently the Onbaa babies cling to the first thing they lay eyes on, which become their "mommies". Naruto names the thing Onbu and it becomes his pet. Until is eventually gets way too big and Tsunade makes him get rid of it. Then Onbu gets all evil and tries to eat Nauto!!! :O But then comes that sentimental crap and Onbu remembers all the good times he had with Naruto and saves him from Onbu's demon mother. Typical Naruto ending.moreless

    ADD TRIVIA
    • The title card in the edited version of the English dub misspelled the title of this episode to be "A Legend of the Hidden Leaf: The Onbaa!" instead of "A Legend from the Hidden Leaf: The Onbaa!". However, Naruto still said the title correctly when he shouted it out. Edit
    • Onbu's growth changes from scene to scene. Sometimes he's bigger and sometimes he's smaller. Edit

    • YTV Airdate: June 13, 2009 Edit
    • In the Jappanese version the Onbu touches Sakura's breast, but in the edited version of the English dub, Onbu is never seen actually touching it, though the motion of him reaching out for it remains. Edit
    • We learn that the Onbaa live near the village. Edit

    • Naruto: (Laughing hysterically) You should see the look on your face. Tsunade: The Onbaa are no longer a legend, are you happy? They're mating like rabbits outside the village and the eagles are scooping them up and dropping them here. (A young onbaa appears on Tsunade's back) Naruto, how do you get rid of these things? Tell me! Naruto: Hard to say. There's a bit of wrestling involved, maybe you should try that. Edit
    • Naruto: All right, you bandits, open up! (Gate opens) Bandit #1: Who are you, you little snot? Bandit #2: Yeah, kid. Bandit #3: What're ya doin here? Naruto: You're lookin' at Naruto Uzumaki and Onbu. You jerks ready? Bandit #1: Say what? Edit
    • Naruto: Spill it, Hinata, what's up? Hinata: Uh, well, it's just I've heard this weird rumor. Naruto: Really, how weird? Hinata: People are saying... Well... You have a baby with you? Naruto: Oh, you mean this guy? Onbu: Onbu! Onbu! (Hinata faints) Naruto: Huh? Hinata! Edit
