I thought these episodes were important and even though other reactors don't usually post these, I wanted to 💗 I had a lot of reflective moments while watching these episodes, and it was a very emotional experience. Almost like going back to the very beginning. I really love this show and I hope you all enjoy the discussions and let me know your opinions on everything ☺ It's the perfect time to reflect, process, and discuss before we dive into the next arc. I also included my reactions to the NEW Opening/Ending!
I appreciate you posting these episodes! Though others may say filler is pointless, I like to see the background world building it can provide, even if it may not be canon to the manga
Nope, Hiruzen's been doing that since forever in secret for Naruto's safety. Also Hinata maybe from their pre Academy time when Naruto save her from the bullies. Then Ichiraku. Shikamaru seems chills with Naruto maybe due to his easy personality, we can see it in Ep3.
Flexie spitting straight FACTS about Sasuke at 16:10. Honestly, a lot of people don't understand Sasuke's character at all and the way he is throughout the show makes perfect sense when you look at the lore and writing. He's a well written and complex character.
The episodes directly after the Pain fight are literally my most often and fondly remembered episodes, besides obviously the fight scenes which can't even be compared in the same way. Seeing the village basically grow up and change with Naruto over the years right after his LEGENDARY W just hit different.
Flexie i am glad you never skipped watching these episodes , these are all very important part of the anime which shows us narutos journey and people connected with him . i didnt skip a single episode of both naruto and naruto shippuden i wanted to be part of pf the whole journey of Naruto even if it may not be significant to the main story , still it is the tale pf uzumaki naruto ❤
12:14 I swear, if Naruto didn't have Iruka and Ichiraku in his younger years, who knows how he would've turned out. Just goes to show that a little kindness goes a long way during a kid's formative years
You are kind good at this thing called Reactions you know... Giving a new perspective makes me enjoy the show even more. Thanks, and keep up the great work!
Thank you for posting such amazing reactions, they actually make me so happy it's like reliving the first time I watched Naruto. Please keep posting videos but also make sure you put yourself before content, I saw the post that you had gotten sick and I am glad to see you feeling better. 💗
Naruto's experience is SO relatable to neurodivergent kids. Autism or extreme cases of ADHD like I had. Your brain is different, so you behave differently than most people and it makes them take an instant disliking to you. You can tell adults are straining to tolerate you and every single kid is just cruel. People just hate you and you don't understand why. You lie in bed at night wondering what it is that makes you different. It really does feel like there's some secret about you everyone else knows and won't tell you. Some secret reason to hate you. Then, if you're lucky, you start to learn masking behaviors to act normal enough to avoid that reaction. I was in my mid 20s when I started to get the hang of that and didn't really get good at it until around 30. But it makes it so any social situation is a minefield. You can't enjoy being around people because you're too busy balancing 100 little rules you've set for yourself just so they don't hate you for existing. And the first and most important rule is to never let yourself get excited or feel happy about anything, because you've learned that the way you act when you're happy is what makes everyone hate you the most.
Dear Flexie, I feel you so much. Naruto is getting me emotional so many times I can't count. The messages about friendship, kindness and never giving up on your goals have changed me so much. This anime is home for me, I grew up with it. I'm glad to go on this journey again with you. Keep going. Greetings from Germany
@@willfanofmanyii3751 I don’t judge who skip them…. But in my opinion there’s some really important scenes, especially for iruka and shikamaru…. And show a lot about Naruto’s childhood.
@@engcarecavirus Those scenes aren't canon, the whole point is Naruto never interacted with them until around graduation. Iruka, Shikamaru and the other kids all hanging out with Naruto and helping literally defeats the point of him always being alone and avoided.
One of the best reactions I have ever watched. Naruto is the manga character I resonate with the most, and your insights help me see this in a new way. Thank you for sharing this.
I just rewatched your old Naruto reactions from episode 1 and I can see your transformation as you continued your journey. Your eyes are softer on the series now compared to episode 1. It is a big commitment and I'm so happy you stuck with it. Whatever you're doing (watching anime lol), you're glowing and you just look so happy. You're genuinely one of the best watch-along people on the internet. I'm always so grateful you're here and always sharing with us. Thank you.
Due to these reason naruto is my fav mc and character of all time .He suffered a lot and people hate him but with his will he changed people and become the most powerful ninja ....everyone start loving him and he become the famous person in his village ....many people dont like him...but he is my fav character of all time
Not to skim over the fact that NO ONE wanted to teach him properly and he still ended up learning the most powerful justu and even creating his own jutsu that surpassed the fourth hokage. Incredible inspiration
@foresightmystery9845 yeah that's why I love him ....He was the weakest in the class ...Hw improved himself and prove him everytime ...Not only he fought villagers but also his negative inner self ...that's why he is my fav .
So Diver is my Favorite Op in all of Naruto it is extremely underrated its simple but tells a lot without showing a lot its how a Op should be its great
@FlexiejayAnime I also love how you Instantly caught on to the visuals and the meaning behind them I've seen a surprising amount of people not get what the opening is trying to portray Small note when the water is closing around Sauske it's makes Madara's mask witch is just amazing visual story telling
@enju3588 I don't hear many people talking about it a lot especially cause Nico Touches the Wall dose another OP that is very popular So I just thought this one was kind of slept on
knew you would love this portion of episodes, especially these first 3 they are a great little story that adds precious substance and it works perfectly after what we have been through :) I can tell you its all canon, no specials or anything here, some bits here and there from were also in the manga, like Zetsu popping up :) what a throwback this is, they are really bringing us back to the good old days when the show started, perfect timing after we have reached the half way point :) now that Naruto is the hero of the village and everybody loves its fascinating to see and remember where he came from :) also more context to Iruka and his growth :) Kakashi gets a little cameo but steals the show classic :) Shikaku still best dad and Shikamaru best friend :) it is very interesting seeing all the politics and disputes following this aftermath :) unfortunately it does play into Danzo's hands :P lovely little scene with Shikaku and Asuma :) its great that they are giving us this extra background stuff :) I guess it makes sense to put Sakura with them since she is the most ordinary to balance it out :D Naruto using the Sexy jutsu against Sasuke was hilarious and ofc it had no effect xD this was a fun new perspective :) well you could say that now Sakura and Naruto have that brother-sister relationship :) what a blast from the past, Inari and Tazuna are back! its been like 4 years now when Naruto last saw them :D little Inari really grew up now he is a little man :) love how this arc was just an animation flex :D
Hour and a half video of Jess watching Naruto? On episodes that I know she's going to rage out on? Brb popcorn and clearing my schedule. Get that watch time!
NICO touches the walls is one of my favorite Japanese bands. Sadly they disbanded. However not only did they do op8 but they also did op 13 and my personal favorite ending 6. Ending 6 is so good you should honestly listen to it on your free time. It's called "Broken Youth".
I coach youth wrestling and the knuckle headed ones like Naruto are always the ones that I look after because I have the patience for them lol. Give them attention and a foundation that no one else gives them and they slowly turn their ways around, even if they do it in their own quirky way.
That ending in the last ep is my absolute favorite in the whole series, amazing choreography mixed with very creative visuals/art direction. Glad you watched it!
Ok so I'm a teaching assistant and my approach to the kids that are disruptive during class is "I'm here to help kids get the grades they want, if you don't care about your grades that's fine, please do come to me if you change your mind or if you want help with something, I'll help anyone who puts in at least an ounce of effort. Now be quiet and listen or go take a break and come back when you're ready to learn something" If they leave the classroom for whatever reason, that's not my problem, it's theirs, I'll just mark them as absent and if they get an F both they, their parents and I will know why. If they do try, but really struggle to get a passing grade, I'll go above and beyond to make sure that they get the understanding needed to pass.
Makes you think. If Naruto did not have the Ramen shop guy in the beginning, he probably would have decided to end things or go evil, but he then eventually got Iruka which led to everyone else. The rest is history.
This is the type of filler I wish most filler was like. Stuff like this that expands upon some characters while not feeling like a slog is great. It helps when it's placed in-between arcs and not directly in the middle.
Honestly, while I understand why some people skip the fillers, many of them are worth watching. They do something that the main storyline tends to overlook a bit too much for my taste: taking the time to develop side characters, explore everyday life in Konoha, expand the lore of the Naruto universe, and, on top of that, some episodes have really great animation.
I had kinda similar childhood to Naruto, there was a point in my life when I was bullied for being Japanese in the Philippines, In our school I was the only half-Japanese kid. The kids bullying me werent even my classmates but kids outside the school and they were always there whenever I walk home and there was a time one of the kid punched me, I was being called a killer or baby killer ( referring to Japanese WWII atrocities ) and a kid shouldnt be going through that shit. I carried that feeling even now, It would always bug me whenever someone looks at me with judgement.
Take your time and dont skip fillers. When you finished the anime, you want more naruto but there wont be. So dont need to be hasty. Love your reactions and another great video. Thanxx
I'm so glad that you always know which fillers that are important and never just blindly skip everything. Thank you for putting these important fillers here, and I do absolutely agree with all of your opinion in the video😸🧡
I don't remember all the discussion between Pain and Tsunade BUT in my memories, Pain just destroy the village by his own choice after he learn Naruto's localisation, it's not Tsunade's fault.
I love that you are watching fillers because personally for me Naruto is much more than an anime it's way of life and I love it when I see someone else who look into this so deeply and watching everything
Having spent my childhood as an orphan, I can deeply relate to the emotions of characters like Naruto and Sasuke. And I can say with certainty that those who haven't lived through this can never truly empathize. They might think they do, but they can’t comprehend the storm raging within. A part of them longs for the light, while another is irresistibly pulled toward the darkness. The worst part is harboring dreams of revenge at a young age, imagining endless scenarios for the future. But as you grow older, you realize that none of it actually matters and that such thoughts are pointless. Humans are strange creatures-when they stop caring and let go, they tend to be happier. Life is too short to be weighed down by worries. To put it simply: "A sharp vinegar only damages its own container." In other words, anger and thoughts of revenge only harm yourself. True self-mastery begins with freeing yourself from such burdens. Eventually, you learn to stop grieving over things beyond your control.
Just a little understanding 35:07 filler does not automatically mean non canon, a lot of Naruto’s filler is actually quite canon its just filler for the main arc it’s on, some other fillers you can clearly tell aren’t attached too the overall story the episodes style makes it quite clear most of the time when it’s non sensical filler
@ wrong there are many filler episodes in Naruto that are anime canon, manga canon is nothing but most Naruto fillers are anime canon where it adds deeper perspectives on times past and so on too help u connection the story in a better way. Kishimoto would 100% agree if u think otherwise u are mistaken. It is an absolute fact that not all fillers are non canon I implore you too look it up. There are dozens of list showing that certain fillers are also canon
@@donrikk8546 Fillers are not canon, and actively contradict later canon episodes as a result. Any flashback that features Naruto interacting with Iruka and the other kids before the first episode is not canon.
@ not all of them contradict the main canon. That’s disingenuous. And I gave u the proof that there are mixed canon/filler episodes you simply don’t want too believe it this is as far as I’m going to discuss this with you, ur simply non responsive you just want too be right and I don’t think I should entertain this anymore I gave u the link I pled my case ur being disingenuous and it’s now officially a waste of time trying too get it through too you. Now if we were talking about the movies this would be a different discussion.
Lmao 🤣 what is this, your headcanon? Filler is filler. Even if it's bad non sensical or Good and sensical, it's just fan fiction by animation studio writers at the end of the day.
Thank u Flexie for understanding sasuke, I don’t understand why people hate him because he turned evil. The dude has a lot of trauma and it doesn’t help that his sensei is orochimaru either
I just love that you defended sasuke you understood him while everyone just being blind to hate sasuke I also hated him when i first watched but when i grew up i understood him even more and now he is one of my favourite characters
Flexie! I know this may sound weird but one thing that cannot be denied is that Danzo DOES care about the Village though his methods are questionable. Also this is my favorite opening!
I've never seen these fillers before. I always watch *some* when I rewatch naruto but i kinda just pick and choose whichever seem important (because some fillers are reallllllly bad). Damn these hit different
Talking about the happy people are the ones that need help in the beginning i just think of Robin Williams. Brought tons of happiness, joy and laughter to millions yet in the end he needed help. Plus, these episodes show why I've always liked Shikamaru's character the most. His dad and Asuma did a good job molding him into the awesome guy he ends up being, but he started out by being smart enough to question why.
Plus if you watch without Fillers Neji literally does nothing the rest of the series, because I guess Kishimoto forgot to write stuff for him. Let alone TenTen.
When you seeing your best friend dying to cancer in your teens, these friendships themes hit differant. As you grow older it gets harder and harder to make new friends and you appreciate every longlife friendship you have. When I watched Naruto first time I wonder why Naruto fights so hard for Sasuke friendship. I think its the biggest take away from Naruto to real life to fight and work for your friendships even if its sometimes hard and doesnt look worth it. I love your thoughts and reflections Flexie , great reaction as always :)
Kids are really challenging, usually they only expect fairness, care, and that you stand by your words. The challenge part is that they tend to test you to your limits before the acknowledge you. Today working at school here in Brazil is really hard because the teachers don’t have support from parents and school anymore, the are always the first to be blamed, shamed, fired. It’s the worst time to be a teacher, to have integrity, to be honest.
About the part when Danzo thought Hiruzen wanted Sasuke to control Kyuubi, don't forget that "Tobi"'s Sharingan made the nine-tails strike Konoha. Danzo made a bet that Hiruzen wanted Sasuke to stop the Demon with his Kekei Genkai if the beast went wild (and it's probably some part of the plan)
I prefer to see filler that are still connection to main story sudh as 12 guardians arc, 3 tails appearance arc, 6 tails unleashed arc, paradise life on the boat arc, some filler on war arc, kakashi anbu arc, etc Make sure you watch those filler as well
If anything we learned from Orochimaru’s invasion, it’s that protecting the village is a duty of all ninja, be it genin, chunin, anbu or Hokage. Everyone fights with the best of their abilities. It’s absolutely ridiculous for one person to take the blame for the loss, when none of the Hokages would be able to protect the village from that attack (perhaps Hashirama could, but still debatable). Not to mention, Pain is single handedly top 4 strongest person written up until this stage of the story. As if anyone could do pull off 1:1 with them. And “provoked” thing is just fanboy interpretation to me. Strategically speaking his entire machine (individual skillset and secret) was revealed. And if anything Tsunade was defending Leaf’s reputation - a thing Hokage should do. You cannot in her position let someone berate your predecessors, your nation and just stay silent. You need to defend your pride, while acknowledge mistakes. Which she clearly did. The “Know pain” phrase is selfish and neglectful, as if experiences and struggles of people can be compared. It’s all about impact of it over an individual. One cannot say “oh, his pain is deeper than hers”, it’s would be just childish and shows the lack of life experience.
Yeah its crazy how most of these fillers add more story for the characters ppl complain are neglected, yet ppl don't wanna watch them because it wasn't in the manga not realizing that due to strict deadlines and horrible work conditions the creators can't add all this detail when its more convenient Also, think about it this way, Naruto is a simp and girls don't respect simps until theyre 40 and lonely, so while we see him and his whole story, she has tunnel vision and only sees what she wants to see because she's just not interested
That moment at 28:50 is a flashback Naruto had when fighting Sasuke. He remembered his moment when they could of been friends early on but being shy and embarrassed they stayed a distance. I think about what if they became friends at age 5. How different they would be.
i really love when someone respect the naruto filler because some filler is factualy canon in naruto and theres lot of naruto filler is explain what really happend in naruto universe

Only to die right after it.. lmao

Those 2 are the real heroes of the series.
Yeah, Iruka and Ramen Guy saved Naruto and the Leaf Village.

Flexie is a true mom to Naruto, wants him to be careful even in flashbacks. Kushina would've definitely trusted her to look after him

naruto in general is an amazing anime. SO much to learn. It's like free therapy
this was great, i can just sense how connected you are with this show for real
Filler episodes are half the enjoyment of Naruto. We learned so much from back stories new powers, and new character and characters development..
I honestly never thought you DID reactions without streaming it first
I watch all shows off stream except Naruto and MHA currently. I also watched Demon Slayer on stream 💚
This is the type of filler I wish most filler was like. Stuff like this that expands upon some characters while not feeling like a slog is great. It helps when it's placed in-between arcs and not directly in the middle.
Shikamaru telling Kakashi “I can’t talk to strangers. My dad will get mad at me” 😂
Love that he’s stranger danger aware
Shikamaru's Dad wanted to keep him safe from Orochimaru, or Diddymaru as some people call him.
Honestly, while I understand why some people skip the fillers, many of them are worth watching. They do something that the main storyline tends to overlook a bit too much for my taste: taking the time to develop side characters, explore everyday life in Konoha, expand the lore of the Naruto universe, and, on top of that, some episodes have really great animation.
Diver is my favorite Naruto opening. Not only is the song just really good, but the animation is really beautiful and metaphorical too.

I'll always stand behind Tsunade. She did what she could. she's getting all the blame bc it's easy for people to blame the head
I'm so glad that you always know which fillers that are important and never just blindly skip everything. Thank you for putting these important fillers here, and I do absolutely agree with all of your opinion in the video😸🧡
26:00 I just realised why that is kakashi's special seat.
Rin_O***O ❤😂
I don't remember all the discussion between Pain and Tsunade BUT in my memories, Pain just destroy the village by his own choice after he learn Naruto's localisation, it's not Tsunade's fault.
Your favorite character is a prankster when he was younger
My favorite fillers ❤❤❤
I love that you are watching fillers because personally for me Naruto is much more than an anime it's way of life and I love it when I see someone else who look into this so deeply and watching everything
flexie i love your reactions! you are great, emotional and funny. i watch you everytime when a new naruto reaction comes out.❤greetings from germany
You are perfectly okay!! Naruto genuinely makes us emotional, that’s why its the GOAT
Having spent my childhood as an orphan, I can deeply relate to the emotions of characters like Naruto and Sasuke. And I can say with certainty that those who haven't lived through this can never truly empathize. They might think they do, but they can’t comprehend the storm raging within. A part of them longs for the light, while another is irresistibly pulled toward the darkness.
The worst part is harboring dreams of revenge at a young age, imagining endless scenarios for the future. But as you grow older, you realize that none of it actually matters and that such thoughts are pointless. Humans are strange creatures-when they stop caring and let go, they tend to be happier. Life is too short to be weighed down by worries.
To put it simply: "A sharp vinegar only damages its own container." In other words, anger and thoughts of revenge only harm yourself. True self-mastery begins with freeing yourself from such burdens. Eventually, you learn to stop grieving over things beyond your control.
Yeah Diver hits different
I love how Kishimoto tells the backstory of Iruka, i really like him since first appearence in the series. Naruto''s big brother
Just a little understanding 35:07 filler does not automatically mean non canon, a lot of Naruto’s filler is actually quite canon its just filler for the main arc it’s on, some other fillers you can clearly tell aren’t attached too the overall story the episodes style makes it quite clear most of the time when it’s non sensical filler
If it's not written by Kishimoto, it's not canon, literally filler.
@ wrong there are many filler episodes in Naruto that are anime canon, manga canon is nothing but most Naruto fillers are anime canon where it adds deeper perspectives on times past and so on too help u connection the story in a better way. Kishimoto would 100% agree if u think otherwise u are mistaken. It is an absolute fact that not all fillers are non canon I implore you too look it up. There are dozens of list showing that certain fillers are also canon
@@donrikk8546 Fillers are not canon, and actively contradict later canon episodes as a result.
Any flashback that features Naruto interacting with Iruka and the other kids before the first episode is not canon.
@ not all of them contradict the main canon. That’s disingenuous. And I gave u the proof that there are mixed canon/filler episodes you simply don’t want too believe it this is as far as I’m going to discuss this with you, ur simply non responsive you just want too be right and I don’t think I should entertain this anymore I gave u the link I pled my case ur being disingenuous and it’s now officially a waste of time trying too get it through too you. Now if we were talking about the movies this would be a different discussion.
Lmao 🤣 what is this, your headcanon?
Filler is filler. Even if it's bad non sensical or Good and sensical, it's just fan fiction by animation studio writers at the end of the day.
Thank u Flexie for understanding sasuke, I don’t understand why people hate him because he turned evil. The dude has a lot of trauma and it doesn’t help that his sensei is orochimaru either
These are such great episodes and the quadruple drop made it even better!! Love these reactions!
#1:24:05 as a fps game player I agree, running directly away from ppl in a straight line is a horrible idea
This just earned a sub. 🎉🎉🎉.
Yooo thank you so much! Welcome to the community my friend! x
I just love that you defended sasuke you understood him while everyone just being blind to hate sasuke
I also hated him when i first watched but when i grew up i understood him even more and now he is one of my favourite characters
Flexie! I know this may sound weird but one thing that cannot be denied is that Danzo DOES care about the Village though his methods are questionable. Also this is my favorite opening!
I've never seen these fillers before. I always watch *some* when I rewatch naruto but i kinda just pick and choose whichever seem important (because some fillers are reallllllly bad). Damn these hit different
Talking about the happy people are the ones that need help in the beginning i just think of Robin Williams. Brought tons of happiness, joy and laughter to millions yet in the end he needed help. Plus, these episodes show why I've always liked Shikamaru's character the most. His dad and Asuma did a good job molding him into the awesome guy he ends up being, but he started out by being smart enough to question why.
This OP always hits me in the feels
A lot of the filler episodes are really good. If you want to deepen your relationship with the characters and the story, they’re cool to watch
Plus if you watch without Fillers Neji literally does nothing the rest of the series, because I guess Kishimoto forgot to write stuff for him.
Let alone TenTen.
The lyrics of Diver fit so well with that opening.
When you seeing your best friend dying to cancer in your teens, these friendships themes hit differant. As you grow older it gets harder and harder to make new friends and you appreciate every longlife friendship you have. When I watched Naruto first time I wonder why Naruto fights so hard for Sasuke friendship. I think its the biggest take away from Naruto to real life to fight and work for your friendships even if its sometimes hard and doesnt look worth it. I love your thoughts and reflections Flexie , great reaction as always :)
OP 6, 7 and 8, are the trinity 🙌 The 8, Diver, is so deep and artistic, amazing
Shikaku is my FAVORITE secondary character in this whole show. Fucking LEGEND of a father
Those Naruto songs they play in the TB eps always hit different 🥹
It makes such perfect sense that Kakashi - who's father had no one to talk to - would be so sensitive to Iruka and offer him a sensitive ear.
Thanks for posting this.
You're at that moment of watching Naruto when you get nostalgia from remembering the earlier episodes 😂 Now imagine One Piece with 1000 plus episodes
Thanks a lot for your reaction 🙏 I think we feel the same emotion 😁
Kids are really challenging, usually they only expect fairness, care, and that you stand by your words. The challenge part is that they tend to test you to your limits before the acknowledge you. Today working at school here in Brazil is really hard because the teachers don’t have support from parents and school anymore, the are always the first to be blamed, shamed, fired. It’s the worst time to be a teacher, to have integrity, to be honest.
About the part when Danzo thought Hiruzen wanted Sasuke to control Kyuubi, don't forget that "Tobi"'s Sharingan made the nine-tails strike Konoha. Danzo made a bet that Hiruzen wanted Sasuke to stop the Demon with his Kekei Genkai if the beast went wild (and it's probably some part of the plan)
I prefer to see filler that are still connection to main story sudh as 12 guardians arc, 3 tails appearance arc, 6 tails unleashed arc, paradise life on the boat arc, some filler on war arc, kakashi anbu arc, etc
Make sure you watch those filler as well
If anything we learned from Orochimaru’s invasion, it’s that protecting the village is a duty of all ninja, be it genin, chunin, anbu or Hokage. Everyone fights with the best of their abilities. It’s absolutely ridiculous for one person to take the blame for the loss, when none of the Hokages would be able to protect the village from that attack (perhaps Hashirama could, but still debatable).
Not to mention, Pain is single handedly top 4 strongest person written up until this stage of the story. As if anyone could do pull off 1:1 with them.
And “provoked” thing is just fanboy interpretation to me. Strategically speaking his entire machine (individual skillset and secret) was revealed. And if anything Tsunade was defending Leaf’s reputation - a thing Hokage should do. You cannot in her position let someone berate your predecessors, your nation and just stay silent. You need to defend your pride, while acknowledge mistakes. Which she clearly did.
The “Know pain” phrase is selfish and neglectful, as if experiences and struggles of people can be compared. It’s all about impact of it over an individual. One cannot say “oh, his pain is deeper than hers”, it’s would be just childish and shows the lack of life experience.
Yeah its crazy how most of these fillers add more story for the characters ppl complain are neglected, yet ppl don't wanna watch them because it wasn't in the manga not realizing that due to strict deadlines and horrible work conditions the creators can't add all this detail when its more convenient
Also, think about it this way, Naruto is a simp and girls don't respect simps until theyre 40 and lonely, so while we see him and his whole story, she has tunnel vision and only sees what she wants to see because she's just not interested
Bro what are you rambling about 😂
@blaketurner7989 if u could read at a middle school level, you'd know
shikamaru's dad is awesome in this reaction
Wow you loved these few episodes so much 😊
That moment at 28:50 is a flashback Naruto had when fighting Sasuke. He remembered his moment when they could of been friends early on but being shy and embarrassed they stayed a distance.
I think about what if they became friends at age 5. How different they would be.
Been waiting on this😢❤ 1 hr 30 min🔥🔥🔥 i wish you'd make all your shippuden reactions this long😅
Teuchi (Ramen Guy) is the one true real one in this show, Next to Naruto since day 1
Flexi related to pain so much in the last Naruto video that she wanted to make us feel some as well😭😭
Sasuke is too gay for sexy jutsu 😂❤
i really love when someone respect the naruto filler because some filler is factualy canon in naruto and theres lot of naruto filler is explain what really happend in naruto universe
Love your videos and your reactions
