Naruto 118January 14, 2005Title: To the Rescue! To be in time for the Barrel! After many hours, our protagonists finally catch up . . .
and rescue Sasuke from Tayuya and Sakon.
However, our heroes are pursued by a mysterious figure.
The End. * * * RATING: B For nearly ten episodes, our team of genin protagonists have been racing to rescue Sasuke from the clutches of the Sound elite. After braving through brutal attacks, trauma, and death, the tables have finally turned. Although Sasuke is finally in the hands of Konoha, it's quite obvious that it won't be easy to return home unscathed. After all, Sasuke is highly sought by the Kage of the Sound Country, and given the vast power of Orochimaru's aura, there's little doubt that our protagonists have a formidable opponent. Nevertheless, it's apparent that our heroes have grown a great deal, both in maturity, teamwork, and power. As a case in point, it's startling to see the traditionally rebellious Naruto accept Shikamaru's authority, and similarly, it's astonishing to see the sheer cohesion between the three genins during their collaborative rescue operation. In any case, it's quite pleasant to see a decisive victory by our home team after the disheartening past episodes. To be sure, our protagonists aren't anywhere close to finishing their quest, but at long last, things have definitely improved. * * * disagree? read 113 comments! * * * Related Reviews
