    Naruto seems to. And this is why he is so hesitant to accept this mission. Some travelers have mysteriously vanished. And it is up to Naruto, Kiba, and Hinata to find out what's going on in the Land of Honey. They stumble across an old and abandoned castle. They think someone lives there, but truth be told, it has been abandoned for the past 50 years! But something seems very odd and off about this castle. It seems to be...WATCHING Naruto, Kiba, and Hinata!! It doesn't seem to want them to leave. It seems to be...BREATHING!? Well, let us hope they don't suffer the same fate as those who previously perished in this castle tomb!moreless

    Wow, I was watching this with my mom and I said, "Wow, this is like a bad ep of Scooby Doo." And then Naruto tripped over a dead samurai and yelled, "ZOINKS!" I laughed so hard I nearly peed my pants!!! Well, it's been a long time since I've seen this episode, so I don't really have much to say about it. I've just kinda put off writing the review because I've had so much homework lately... It was probably a good episode, I wish I remembered it. :( Well, I've got to go now. Just five more words... OK, BYE!moreless

    A group from the Land of Honey is traveling along when they are ambushed by some unknown force. All that is left after the light dissappears is some pieces of the carriage. Tsunade tells Naruto, Kiba, and Hinata that they are to go and search for the missing party and find them. They get to the area where the party was last seen and find a mysterious castle. It starts to rain and they go inside to get out of the weather. Once they get inside the castle, things start to get weird. They find out that the castle is actually....moreless

    Aw, you have to love the team Naruto, Hinata, and Kiba! This episode was kind of a scary episode, but still cool. I loved the Hinata and Naruto part where Hinata is like Naruto has a lot of good things about him but she's all like shy and blushing ha you have got to love Hinata and Naruto! Awesome ness! It was scary because the thing was actually a lizard, but Naruto is awesome for the throwing Rasengan thing. When they were getting eaten and stuff that was kinda scary I guess. So, well, it was a nice filler episode. End.moreless

  • Spooky haunted house!

    This was a cool episode. I can't believe that Naruto is afraid of ghosts. Everything else he is brave for, but he's afraid of ghosts. Actually if you watched the other ghost filler episode you would know that Naruto is scared of ghosts already. The part with Hinata saying she knows that Naruto has strong points was pretty funny. I've noticed that a lot of the filler epsiodes have Hinata, Kiba, and Naruto as a team. Probably because they're the only genin left in the village at the time. I like them as a team, they're not the most exciting team but the few moments between Hinata and Naruto are cute.moreless

    ADD TRIVIA
    • After the explosion of light, Lady Kaio's carriage falls to the ground. When the parts are seen falling you can see the roof is in many pieces, but when the carriage is seen on the ground, the roof is still intact. Edit
    • When the creature disappears, after the contract is destroyed, the base of the castle is not there. But when Naruto, Kiba, and Hinata are talking about Kouza wanting the creature to be released, they are standing by the base of it. Edit
    • Before Naruto moves, the man in the painting is near the edge of the boarded up window. But when Naruto moves, it moves over towards the middle of it. Edit

    ADD NOTES
    • YTV Airdate: August 15th, 2009 Edit
    • The Red Bean Paste Country is known as the Land of Candy in the dub. This may be because "Red Bean Paste" is "An" in Japanese, and candy is the only word that could fit in the translation (Red Bean Paste is a type of candy). Edit
    • The way the castle walls look and devour victims is oddly similar to the stomach of Jiraiya's mountain toad. Naruto even comments on this. Edit

  • Quotes

    ADD QUOTES
    • Kiba: He must have died resenting those who'd seized his castle. Hinata: But he also lead us to where the scroll was hidden. Naruto: You figure he finally decided to let go of his grudge? Kiba: Seems that way. Or heck, could be he thought fifty years was long enough to keep that summoned animal in his service. Maybe he just wanted to let the poor old beast to return home. Naruto: Think so? Then maybe he needed help releasing that creature from its imprisonment, freeing it. Hinata: And now it's finally home. Edit
    • Naruto: What do we do? How are we going to get out of this guy's stomach? Hinata: I don't know. Kiba: If this creature was summoned, there'll be a contract somewhere. Tear up the scroll and this thing goes back to where it came from. Edit
    • Naruto: I don't get it. Why would he tell his pet castle to eat us like some sort of snack? What did we ever do to him? Hinata: I don't know. Edit

    ADD ALLUSIONS
    • In the English dubbed version, when Naruto trips over one of the dead samurai, he yells out "Zoinks!". This is a familiar yell of Shaggy, from the Scooby-Doo cartoon series that deals with many supernatural mysteries. The episode itself is very similar to the series in many aspects. Edit
    • While probably not planned, this episode premieres at the same time with the animated movie Monster House which also features two guys and a girl journeying into a house that eats those who enter it. Overall, the episode bares resemblance to a whole range of "living house" horror/thriller movies. Edit
