  • Enter: The Konoha 11!!!

    Well, this is my first review on the new TV.com layout. I hope I don't screw it up too bad. So anyway, this episode begins the series's Konoha 11 Arc. It would've been Konoha 12, but as we all know, a certain Uchiha boy had to leave at the last minute in order to avenge his clan... OK, so my point is, some dude named Gennou who was working as Tsunade's carpenter stole the blueprints to her mansion, and then totally obliterates himself. :O Naruto takes the news pretty critically, because he was Gennou's friend. So Tsunade recruits Shikamaru to get a team and go after the stolen documents. His team? None other than the rookies, of course!!! Oh, and Guy's team too. :P Together, they form... *drum roll* The Konoha 11!!! He complains that it's not enough men, but she sends him out anyway. Oh, and in case you don't know who the Konoha 11 members are, they are Naruto, Sakura, Kiba, Hinata, Shino, Shikamaru, Ino, Choji, Neji, Tenten, and Lee. And if you're puzzled as to why Sasuke is not included, it's because he took off shortly before the filler arcs began. Good gravey, if you don't know that, you must have been hiding under a rock this whole time!!!moreless

    The Hidden Leaf Village is still rebuilding after the attack by Orochimaru and the Sand Village. Due to a shortage of carpendars, they have to hire outside help. One of them is Gennou and he befriends Naruto and they enjoy going to the ramen stand for a meal. Naruto does not realize, but he is a spy who later that night creates a diversion and steals the blueprints for the important buildings of the Hidden Leaf Village. The ANBU Black Ops are able to track him down, but when they attempt to arrest him, he appears to blow himself up. Tsunade issues a S level alert for the village and....moreless
  • It seems to be the start of a good filler arc

    The thing that seems to be really unique about this episode is the fact that all the genin ninja (plus Shikamaru) are in on this mission together. Granted, it's a rather large mission so many people are needed, but still. I look forward to see the fighting, however this is only the beginning of the arc so they're still searching for clues. Chouji's food obsessed behavior is funny. The opening and ending changed to include stuff from the Naruto movie, I think it's the first. From what I see it looks lame, don't know if I'd want to watch it. I guess I can't make a decision based on some clips from the opening I suppose.moreless

    Here is another filler review cant wait to see what i have to say Kohona 11 hasent that been done already like for example Kohona five. I am dissapointed at the effort they made to redo another kohona five arc sorry not working now i am going to go cr because of all the fillers and their pointless stories.

    • Naruto: You need to loosen up a little bit, Sakura. (Eats some ramen) You've been hanging around too many crabby people. Grandma Tsunade, Shino, Ino, Kiba, Kakashi-sensei, you're all crabs. Sakura: We wouldn't be so crabby if you weren't such a jerk! Naruto: See, you're doing it again! Just what I'm talking about... (Sakura hits him) Ow! Sakura: You need to learn some manners. Naruto: Hey! Sakura: That's nothing compared to what the others are going to do when I tell them what you said.

    • Shikamaru: This assignment sounds like a drag. Tsunade: Nonetheless, I'll be counting on you to handle it. That's why I'm asking you to remain stationed in the village. Shikamaru: But in order to get this job done, I'm going to need more men than you've given me. Shizune: We haven't got a single man to spare, so you'll just have to make due with what you've got. Tsunade: Under the circumstances, they're the best I can do. Shikamaru: The best, huh?

    • Naruto: Doesn't it seem kinda deserted around here? Sakura: This place is like a ghost town. They must all be inside because of the special security alert. Naruto: What?! Special security alert?! How come nobody told me about it?! Sakura: As a ninja you should notice these kinds of things. Naruto: But if we're under a special security alert, that means the village is in a state of emergency. Why didn't anyone tell us about it? Sakura: Maybe that's why Lady Tsunade wants to see us.

    • Sakura: Would you quit pacing around like that? Calm down. Naruto: It's already past the time we were supposed to meet. Shino: Not quite. To be accurate, it's still twenty seconds till. Neji: Guess he made it. Choji: (Shows up eating some chips) What's up? You guys waiting for anyone else? Ino: Can you tell me why you're always the last to arrive?

    • Shikamaru: As I'm sure you're all aware by now that the village has been placed under an S-level security alert. You're probably wondering why. Kiba: Last night's smokescreen, right? Naruto: You guys knew that was a smokescreen? Neji: Of course. Shino: My insects made quite a fuss over it. Choji: Really? That's funny, I didn't notice anything. Ino:(Yelling) Maybe you should stop eating and open your eyes!

    • Naruto: It's impossible. Old man Gennou didn't have a mean bone in his body. He's just a sweet old man who loved the ramen at Ichiraku. He's not the kind of person who would do that; he wouldn't destroy the Hidden Leaf Village. Shikamaru: Come on, Naruto. You thought he was a nice guy, but it was all an act. He wanted us to let our guard down, so when he got here, he played the part of the harmless old carpenter to avoid suspicion. Naruto: You can't love ramen that much and be bad. Choji: No, bad guys like ramen. They love it. Shikamaru: Choji, maybe if you try and talk some sense into him, he'll listen. Choji: Though I've got to admit, I've never seen a bad person eat at Ichiraku's, ever. Naruto: Told ya! Shikamaru: (Sarcastically) That's great, thanks for helping me out, Choji.

    • Shikamaru: I guess I never really expected this guy to leave any clues laying around the place he lived. Choji: Found it! Shikamaru: Huh? What did you find? Choji: A lovely variety of Udon Noodles. He's got sweet, savory, and super thin. Shikamaru: We didn't come here to look for food.

    • Gai: So then, you think someone is planning an attack against the Hidden Leaf Village, right? Shizune: For now that's all we've got. It's the only possible explanation. Why else would they want those plans? Besides, Gennou's last words support that theory. Tsunade: Even with the blueprints, it should take time to plan their assault, but we can't gamble our lives on that. We must assume the enemy can attack us at any time. I'm going to authorize an S-level security alert. Leave only those necessary to guard the village and send every available man to secure the borders.

    • Chouji: I didn't notice it. Ino: You're so slow! ~Japanese version

    • Naruto: Sheesh, you're too strict, Sakura! It's probably because there are annoying people like Granny Tsunade and the others around, you know there's Shino and then Ino and then Kiba and Kakashi-sensei... but I wonder if Sakura is one as well? ~Japanese version

    • Naruto: There sure are a lot of new buildings around here. Sakura: This is part of recent construction efforts, I hear. ~Japanese version

    • Shikamaru: If the blueprints have already been delivered to the enemy, then Konoha could be destroyed again. To avoid this, the special guard status was announced this morning. Kiba: So what's our mission? Shikamaru: To investigate the room from which the blueprints were stolen and to retrieve them. That's our mission. ~Japanese version

    • Naruto: Oh yeah, Shikamaru, did you see that weird fog last night? Sakura: Stop it! You were just dreaming! Shikamaru: There was no fog. Sakura: See? Just like he said. Shikamaru: That was a smokescreen. ~Japanese version

    • Naruto: There are no bad people among ramen lovers! Chouji: No. That is incorrect, Naruto. Shikamaru: Chouji, tell him the way it is. Chouji: There are no bad people who love Ichiraku ramen. Naruto: Chouji! Shikamaru: Damn it! Those two... ~Japanese version
