Jiraiya - Naruto Shippuden

Naruto Shippuden continues its prelude to much-anticipated Hinata-Naruto wedding and the upcoming 'Naruto Hidden' series with an episode dedicated to Gaara and Shikamaru's childhood.

Episode 482 Recap:

Growing up without a mother, a young Gaara had a rough childhood in the Village of the Hidden Sand. While his siblings Temari and Kankuro took every bit of chance to bond with him, Gaara's father vehemently objected it since he's too dangerous in the first place. Angry villagers tried to assassinate him once and awhile, adding more pain to his already wounded heart.

All he had during that time of struggles was his uncle Yashamura, who answered his questions about life and everything about it.

Shikamaru picked up a fight with Choji while Naruto was sleeping during class. As punishment, Iruka sent all three young shinobi to the hallway. From there, Naruto argued over defending Hinata from the bullies and then teased Ino after watching her rejected by Sasuke.

Before the trio closed out the day, Naruto had one last thing up in his sleeves. After watching Iruka flirting with some Konoha women, Naruto pulled off the Sexy Jutso on his sensei, causing him to bleed profusely and collapse.

Show Review:

Once again Episode 482 is another slow-paced stories about the early years of the pivotal characters in the series. Gaara/Shikamura all in all isn't that bad, but there's also nothing special about it. It's just purely filler episode for hardcore Naruto fanatics out there. Something to get everybody tune in before the Naruto-Hinata wedding episode and the start of a much more intriguing arc - the Hidden series.

Grade/ Rating: The episode is good for a C+

Episode 483 Preview:

-Next Thursday's episode is titled Jiraiya/ Kakashi, and it's another two-part pre-Naruto Hidden show that focuses on Jiraiya's time with his fellow Sannin and Kakashi's ninja academy years.
