well that was a pretty decent ep...kinda slow, but still.
i find it wierd how many ppl didn't like this ep....there were quite a few ppl who wanted more missions, and now we've got one....and its not *totally* lame either. hopefully we'll have a few good fights, and some serious scenes. they've had a nice relaxed atmosphere for too long now i think. we need some suspense/action.
as for the characters, its kinda kool that they brought in a rain nin...and it seems next ep, those scuba wearing nins are commign back from the dead [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]. wonder if they'll use that bushin technique again. That runner guy (idate) seems too much liek naruto. its like an older version of konohamaru.
oh, and as for his relation to morino ibiki....the guy tells them his name in the restaurant, but sasuke doesn't think anyhitng of it...but when its said later on, he seems surprised...whats with that? it seems unlikey to me that this guy would be related to ibiki...first, ibiki isn't a major character and not really that important, compared to the jounin teachers or Anko. also, it seems unlikely that sasuke would know ibiki well enuff to know/remember his full name, or care if he finds someone else with the same name. i think it'll probably be somethign else that'll be explained later.
