Although finishing episode 220 of Naruto would have been a good place to stop, I formed a strange desire to continue watching Naruto Shippuden. And, like with Naruto, I decided to just watch the dubbed versions so that I can multitask. Unfortunately, Viz only has dubbed versions of episodes 1-97.

I was wondering about why Lady Tsunade had to listen to the Elders and an answer on a Q/A web page essentially said a Hokage is the highest position a ninja can obtain, but must still discuss with the Feudal Lords and the Elders on certain matters.

Today I reached the point on Viz where the Shippuden episodes were only available Subtitled (Episode 98 and onward). I was watching one episode after another, but stopped watching after I completed Episode 98. I'll mark episodes viewed as such with JAES (Japanese Audio, English Subtitles).

I was thinking about watching more Shippuden, but I had no energy to watch.
20210724:
Today I decided to pick up from where I left off. I decided to rewatch the last episode which I completed (Episode 217). It's a weird place to the series back up on. I honestly don't recall anything, though the episode clues me in on some of the events.
Note that I also wanted to verify that the episode numbers lined up correctly. This was confirmed upon being able to identify my two previous comments for the episode: "Naruto lies down beside them." and "Hey Sai! Since when did you develop such a carefree laugh?"
In any case, I was randomly searching for articles and I ended up on Gaara's wiki page where I read the Five Kage Summit section. I was sure that this section caught me up on a good portion of the episodes prior to Episode 217 (in particular, I believe the last sentence of that section occurred at the very start of Episode 218).
20210724: Episodes 217-222, JAES
20210725: Episodes (Skip 223-242,) 243-250, JAES

I was watching the opening credits for episode 249 and wondering [...]

20210830:
At the end of episode 421, in the credits different characters are shown at the ramen shop. Hinata ate more bowls than Naruto! I did a follow-up and apparently the credits draw parallels between past and present. In the past, Minato is on the left, Kushina is on the right, and Kushina gets sick (likely from pregancy as the part right after suggests). In the present, Hinata is on the left, Naruto is on the right, and Naruto gets sick (likely from eating too much while trying to keep up with Hinata). The drawings indicate that Hinata's personality is more like Minato and Naruto's personality is more like Kushina (which makes sense, he even has a verbal tick like his mother). I also learned that there's an omake (extra) at the end of Shippuden episode 95 where several characters compete in a ramen eating contest and Hinata wins with 46 bowls (Naruto only ate 30)! Trying to find the omake, I learned that the endings for the dubbed episodes are different from the endings for the subbed episodes; the omake was in the sub version.
20210831: Episodes 426-427, JAES
20231006 Comment:
I don't remember when - I would guess some time in 2021 - but I had spoiled the ending for myself. I also don't remember the reason why I had done this, but I imagine it had occurred while I was reading the Wiki and perhaps was frustrated with how drawn out the ending battle was; there are over 70 episodes including filler episodes and over 30 episodes excluding filler episodes between where I last watched and the last episode, Episode 500.

Episode 003:
1: Lol. I was oblivious to that. ("Start")
1: Oh wow. Sakura's punch.
1: What's more interesting is that Kakashi doesn't know.
1: "Leaf Village Secret Finger Jutsu: One Thousand Years of Death"
1: Good thing Naruto has Sakura to break the genjutsu.
1: Haha, he's learned some things across the years.
1: Nooo... I gotta watch to the end of the battle versus Kakashi.
1=20170318 AM
Episode 004:
1: Cute. (Exposing Kakashi's weakness)
1=20170318 AM
Episode 005:
1: Team Kakashi

Episode 006:
1: Ha! Naruto explains why his headband and clothes changed. (I was vaguely wondering about it an episode or two ago)
1=20170318
Episode 007:
1: "If you ask me it's about time you became a jonin. It wouldn't be such a problem if you stopped complaining about what a drag everything is." "What a drag."

Episode 010:
1: Hehe. She checks to see if she won as an omen.
1=20170318
Episode 013:
1: Lol. "That sword, it's yours right?"
1: So... the question will be if Naruto can recognize the genjutsu.
1=20170319
Episode 014:
1: Very good training on Jiraiya's part.
1=20170319
Episode 016:
1: I don't really pay attention to this episode, even after attempting to watch parts of it several times over [I eventually read the episode summary]
1=20170319
Episode 018:
1: Lol. Lee speaks loudly into the mic.
1: All that grunting.
1: "Hey, we should do it too." Everybody denies Naruto the pleasure.
1=20170319
Episode 019:
1: I would figure out if switching opponents is advantageous. Though each clone is made from a different element so that could be the answer as well.
1: Is it a genjutsu?
1=20170320 AM
Episode 021:
1: Holy crap. That's awesome. (Using Sakura)
1=20170320 AM
Episode 022:
1: At the end of the episode extra, Kakashi points out his students essentially each split up and became students of the legendary Sannin: Naruto with Jiraiya, Sakura with Tsunade, and Sasuke with Orochimaru (well Kakashi says he doesn't know what Sasuke is up to, but essentially that's the implication).
1=20170320 AM
Episode 023:
1: That's creepy. Hugging yourself with puppets in the likeness of your parents.
1=20170320 AM
Episode 024:
1: She's bluffing. [Called it]
1=20170320 AM
Episode 027:
1: She tells him she already healed the injury itself.
1: Reanimation Ninjutsu.
1: Interesting. She was originally designing that Ninjutsu for him.
1=20170323
Episode 028:
1: Is he going to suggest that they fight like someone else?
1: Lol. He suggests that they have to be stronger than they were. "Stronger than we were yesterday."
1: Though the fact that there's some sort of jutsu that can make a clone of equal power as someone is, in hindsight, nearly overpowered.
1=20170323
Episode 029:
1: Interesting Jutsu. He has to keep his other eye closed.
1: Holy shit. What a powerful jutsu.
1: "I missed."
1=20170324 AM
Episode 032:
1: While a lot of the village is happy, there definitely exists doubters and haters among the crowd.
1: Lol. Rock Lee wants to carry Negi.
1=20170324 PM
Episode 033:
1: By now she just assume he's listening. Hahaha.
1=20170325 AM
Episode 035:
1: Interesting that Jiraiya should let the fourth tail grow during training.
1=20170325
Episode 036:
1: Lol. He told Naruto about Jiraiya's near-death incident with Lady Tsunade.
1=20170325
Episode 037:
1: Ha, his nightmare.
1=20170325
Episode 042:
1: Although the scale of the battle is large, it's not that fun to watch. In particular, I dislike the chasing portion - when the beast's extended arms were chasing after Orochimaru. I was similarly bored back when Naruto and Kakashi were chasing Deidara and when Gaara was chasing Deidara (with his sand).
1a=20170326 AM, 1b=20170326*
*Japanese audio, English subtitles because the website was having problems loading the dubbed version.
Episode 043:
1: Lol. From a physics standpoint. It'd require a lot of force near the point of rotation to keep such a long blade lifted.
1=20170326 4PM
Episode 044:
1: Dang. I assume the red on his hands and face is cause his skin is burned off. Ouch.
1: A bit strange that a jutsu can only be inherited... but if they say so.
1=20170326 9PM
# FILLER: Ep. 45
Episode 048:
1: Meh. Naruto's anger at this point is annoying, similar to how annoying Ichigo got in the later episodes of BLEACH. Arguably worse.

# FILLER: Ep. 49
Episode 049:
1: Ah. Does this lead back to the first episode then?
1=20170327 AM
Episode 050:
1: OMG. "I don't understand." Really? Actually, I'm more surprised by Captain Yamato's surprise.
1=20170327 PM
Episode 051:
1: Hmm. That book doesn't exactly have to be all his executions. It could just be a community hit list.
1=20170327 PM
Episode 053:
1: I wonder if Orochimaru stopping Sasuke suggests that Orochimaru is stronger than Sasuke. Perhaps it just means Orochimaru has a psychological leverage on Sasuke.
1=20170327 PM
Episode 054:
1: Hahaha. "I understand. Thanks for the advice, Ugly."
1: Lol. Says the opposite. So in truth he thinks Ino is also ugly.
1=20170328 AM
Episode 055:
Episode 056:
1: Huh? I thought the point was that if one of the clones got it, then Naruto could just combine the experience...
1=20170328 AM
# FILLER: Eps. 57-71, MOSTLY FILLER: Eps 71.
Episode 062:
1: Lol. Rock Lee comes in. "Ahhhh. Who decided to forge bonds of comradeship in a mighty meeting of fists." Lands. Jumps. "And forgot to invite Rock Lee!?!" Joins the brawl.
1=20170328 PM
Episode 064:
1: Great save by Naruto.
1=20170328 PM
Episode 074:
1: I was wondering how a powerful ninja monk like Chiriku would be defeated. I guess what I mean is if a person like him was defeated, then how many ninja left in the world could possibly look to defeat those opponents. [Thankfully, at least to some extent, at least Asuma was surprised by Chiriku's defeat as well.]
1: Hehe. Kakashi does it one hand.
1=20170406 PM
Episode 075:
1: Lol. Why is Naruto upset? After all, Master Jiraiya can do it too.
1=20170407 AM
Episode 078:
1: This episode makes it clear how this enemy has been destroying powerful ninja such as Chiriku.
1=20170407 AM
Episode 079:
1: Blah. Really?
1=20170407 AM
Episode 081:
1: Hehe. Sai feigns putting down Naruto.
1: Lol. "I'm really starting to take a liking to you kiddo." Freaks Naruto out.
1=20170407 AM
Episode 087:
1: Lol. Tsunade jokes that Shikamaru expends energy in order to look bored.
1: "Wind Style. Rashen Shuriken." That looks awesome. I'm tempted to watch one more episode.
1=20170407 AM
Episode 089:
1: Shikamaru's dad asks him if he knows who the king is and Shikamaru responds
1: It seems like Shikamaru's dad already knows the answer. As a double whammy, Shikamaru's dad also beats him (at Shogi).

1: It's really interesting that Naruto would prefer to try and work with Gamatatsu who has no jutsu instead of Gamariki
1=20170407
Episode 103:
1: Ino struggles
1=20170623
Episode 104:
1: Holy crap, how many Rasengans is that? [Apparently the technique is called "Ultra-Many Spiraling Serial Spheres" - at least according to the Naruto wiki]
1=20170623
Episode 105:
1: I don't understand their tactic. Certainly they should have searched for their opponents, but tat the same time, I think keeping closer to the lake would have been reasonable.
1=20170623
Episode 106:
1: Giant Rasengan.
1=20170623
Episode 107:
1: Lol. Mini Three-Tails.
1: "And I'm that Jinchuriki!"
1: I was confused the first time I heard the lines spoken, but now I understand: "If I hadn't told him such a thing..." Flashback to "The place where someone thinks of you, that's where home is." [...] Back to present. "You told him?" [When I first heard her say it, it seemed like she was accusing him of something.]
1=20170623
Episode 111:
1: Why did Guren have to sacrifice herself in that way? (though she must be alive since the flower is still encased in crystal)
1: Quite a surprise: Gamakichi can use fire style.
1=20170911
Episode 114:
1: Dang. Anesthetic within his blood.
1: "Which one... are you now?" "Which one... do you think?"
1=20170911
Episode 117:
1b: Haha. Naruto won the grand prize (with three tickets) but wanted the ramen. Kakashi wanted the grand prize and had a lot of tickets.
1b=20170912
Episode 121:
1: Cute. Naruto speaks like his master.
1: Aww... Jiraiya gives Naruto his last piece of meat (and it distracts Naruto from their present conversation)
1: I wonder who the squad leaders are.
1: That ending is great: Hinata says "Naruto" in several different ways.
1=20170913
Episode 122:
1: Oh wow. Kabuto absorbed Orochimaru.
1=20171216
Episode 123:
1: Good to see Sasuke fighting again.
1=20171216
Episode 124:
1a: Doesn't make sense. If Tobi can run from the attack, then Sasuke should be able to also.
1a: Huh. He trained his left eye to counter the Sharingan.
1b: How can he fly if his left wing is just snakes.
1b: Oh man. What a terrible ultimate (self-detonation).
1a=20171216 AM, 1b=20171216 PM
Episode 125:
1: Wow. Sasuke's resourcefulness and quick-thinking
1: It has yet to be revealed if Tobi survived, and I knew he probably should survive. But then I realized he definitely survived because his ability is shifting to another dimension.
1=20171216
# MOSTLY FILLER: Ep. 127
# MOSTLY CANON: Ep. 128
Episode 128:
1: That's an interesting ending. That Naruto is named after Jiraiya's character.
1=20171216
Episode 129:
1: New opening credits.
1: New closing credits. I like the previous one!
1=20171216
Episode 130:
1: They show us Tobi has a Sharingan.
1: Ha. Jiraiya flirts with the girls and then says "I'm not giving up, that's my ninja way."
1=20171216
Episode 132:
1: Oh my goodness. I'm glad he retreated. 1) It seems like the tactically smart move. 2) I'm not ready for Jiraiya to die.
1: Hmm. There's a scene where the three are back to back. But given their shared eyesight, they should face each other. Lol.
1: Lol. The interview between Naruto and Jiraiya was funny.
1=20171216
Episode 133:
1: ;_;
1=20171216
Episode 134:
1: Hehe. Killing Itachi can't be this easy.
1: Well. It's not going against Sasuke's orders. Sasuke just told them to wait.
1: They don't show Naruto using a clone for Rasengan. But we don't see him use it solo either.
1: After credits is something about Naruto missing milestone episodes.
1=20180516
Episode 135:
1: Mostly old flashback. Possibly some new information.
1: Finally some fight.
1: Madara Uchiha.
1=20180516
Episode 136:
1: That's messed up. Takes his brother's eye.
1: Oh. Now we know why Itachi let his brother live.
1: Itachi must be overestimating his Mangekyo Sharingan. If this power alone is powerful, then Madara shouldn't have lost.
1: Hmm. Wonder if there are any plot twists.
1: Smile. Two sleepwalking and Shino gets mad.
1=20180516
Episode 138:
1: Huh. Is the snake that got away going to do something?
1: That part with Orochimaru being released seemed anti-climatic.
1=20180517
Episode 139:
1: Oh. In this attack, Naruto calls out "Rasengan!" and we see the clone cloud disappear soon after.
1=20180517
Episode 140:
1a: [Although I only had 10 minutes left, I was sleepy and had to constantly rewind through the past five or so minutes. Must turn off and continue watching tomorrow.]
1b: [Started just a couple minutes before where I left off]
1b: The whole idea seems silly. To battle distrust by planning a coup d'etat. Of course, I wouldn't believe everything that Madara says. Well, I would believe the events, but not the interpretation. For example, I thought it was already told to the viewer that Madara unleashed the Nine Tails. [See Episode 141]
1a=20180517, 1b=20180519
Episode 141:
1: Wait. Madara was against the Uchiha also? I'm confused.
1: "You are lying. The one who made the Nine-Tails attack the village was you, Madara! Itachi said so."
1: Madara tries to turn it around and say that Itachi was the one who was lying.
1: Always tapping Sasuke on the head.
1: Say what!?! "We will destroy the Hidden Leaf!"
1=20180519
Episode 142:
1: I wonder how he makes use of eight blades.
1: Haha. This rapping ninja with humor.
1: Haha. The end credits is Sakura being jealous of Hinata and she does the different expressions of saying "Naruto" (similar to how Hinata is only ever able to say "Naruto")
1=20180519
Episode 143:
1: Lucky. Though it seemed he was using a power he didn't know he had (for Karin)
1=20180520
# FILLER: Eps. 144-151
Episode 145:
1: Haha. Naruto catching and throwing away Sai's leeches.
1: Lol. Any person with half a brain should figure out that if leeches were just raining down, they'd fall down in various places, not just raining like a cloud directly overhead.
1: Haha. Just her luck. She's water.
1: Huh. Why didn't Captain Yamato or Sai pick up on the same awkwardness that Naruto sensed? Especially considering he was the one to have forced the villagers to come out.
1=20180520
Episode 148:
1: Naruto is too abrasive. And the repetitiveness of his personality reminds me of how annoying Ichigo became in BLEACH.
1: What a surprise. The one Naruto went looking for was right there.
1=20180520
Episode 150:
1: This filler arc (episodes 144-151) has been decent.
1=20180520
Episode 151:
1: Uh-oh. Haha.
1=20180520
Episode 152:
1: Interesting. That recollection of Naruto's encounter with Itachi. Itachi mentions he gave Naruto a power.
1: I like the interaction between the Great Sage Toad and Naruto.
1: I was curious how Naruto would react. I suppose the initial "Huh?" is appropriate.
1: I sort of knew before, but I really realized today that the credits are child versions of Sakura, Naruto, Jiraiya, Sasuke, Orochimaru, and Tsunade. I suppose the juxtaposition of two generations at the same age is unexpected.

1: I wonder if he would buy a Popsicle at some point.
1: Ah. He buys a Popsicle.
1: Wow. Iruka's words to Naruto almost got me teary eyed.
1: 9, 31, 8 | 106, 7 | 207, 15
1: My guess is "Naruto" would be the key.
1: Oh. After Kakashi was reading the numbers out loud, I would think they're page numbers.
1: Hahaha. 106 centimeters!
1=20180521 AM
Episode 154:
1: Yay! I was right about the page numbers!
1: "The Real One's Not Among Them" This probably means that there is a real Pain, which is not one of the Pain's he fought. This would be helpful in the sense that one could develop a strategy to fight the real Pain directly. Or to fight the Pains knowing that they are being controlled by another.
1: Haha. "By that time I'll no longer be a human being."

Episode 158:
1: Fucking Danzo. What a prick.
1: Nice. You tell them Tsunade. They lack... "The Power to Believe."
1: Oh no!!! Danzo!!!
1: Yeah. On that note. (Kakashi telling one of the Pain that their method is pointless) 1) If the enemy is ransacking the village to look for Naruto, then handing over Naruto is their best hope of survival. Even estimating for the worst case, not having Naruto there would be like 95% chance of loss compared to having Naruto would be 50% chance of loss. 2) From the enemy's point of view, what good is killing people in order to find Naruto? It's literally the most brute force tactic possible. It makes Pain look like a complete idiot, because anyone who does just a little investigating would know that Naruto can be easily baited by offering up Sasuke.

Episode 161:
1: Oh wow. Naruto taught Konohamaru Rasengan...
1: They're talking about how he has to take in chakra while he's moving. What if a clone does it?
1: Wait. With them looking at the message now. Did they copy it exactly how it looked? Because when they wrote it down on paper, it would have been written in someone else's penmanship, right?
1: Hehe. Konohamaru also executes with a clone.
1: The old frog says something that reminds him of using clones. So I was right!?

1: "Almighty Push."
1=20180525 AM
Episode 163:
1: Nice. First one in one swoop.
1: Huh. They're surprised that he threw it. Why? Oh, well I suppose because Rasengan can't be thrown.
1: Oh, but we haven't seen him use his clone to collect Nature chakra yet.
1=20180525 AM
Episode 164:
1: Hmm. Seems like a waste of chakra. Quick is good, but it's unclear that Naruto understands his enemy's moves. Perhaps there's attacks that use less chakra worth using to tease out some of the enemy's defenses. [In the next scene we see the other guy absorb it.]

Episode 165:
1: The delicate balance of the number of clones created was explained.
1: Actually, "two wrongs don't make a right"

A: Lol. Sakura is jealous of Hinata getting to be the focus of the end credits.

Episode 166:
1: Hmm. In some sense he believes in "The Purge."
1: Ooo. Finally she reveals her feelings to Naruto.
1: Damn. Her caretaker just left Naruto on the ground (without even checking for injury).
1: Oh, made me a little teary (well, that moment where one feels tears coming up, but no tears have yet arrived). (When she and a superimposed Naruto say "I stand by what I say...")
1: I thought he was gonna drop her on top of Naruto and impale her. (though I figured her character is too important to kill off) [Oh, but after I made this comment, apparently he does stab her.]
1: Oh right, but she has an entire end credits after her!

Episode 167:
1: Sixtails.
1: Well. Although it's dangerous to Naruto and others. At least the Nine Tails is a rival to Pain.
1: I'm not sure how this planetary jutsu is supposed to hold the Nine Tails.
1: "Naruto..."
1: How does Naruto not know that the fourth Hokage is his father? I suppose a different question is how do I know? [Naruto finds out that the fourth Hokage is his father in episode 168. (Quora.com)] [As for the other question, apparently there have been several moments throughout the manga/anime. In particular, some point to the very first Naruto episode]
1=20180530
Episode 168:
1: Half? Why just half? Where's the other half?
1: The fourth Hokage refers to the Nine Tails being controlled.
1: Lol. Creepy. Will the fourth Hokage be watching everything Naruto does? (And by everything I mean...) [The answer to this comes later]
1: "I'm not smart."
1: Aww... "last time"
1: That was satisfying.

1: This Danzo... The not obvious villain... He gets beneath my skin...
1: It's particularly unfortunate that he was the one who caused the messenger frog to be killed. That hasn't yet to be uncovered, and perhaps it would never be uncovered given the chaos that occurred that day. It would require the frog community to question who killed the messenger and for Lady Tsunade to corroborate that she sent him to get Naruto.
1: Hmm. It's suspicious to nominate yourself.
1: Hmm. We'll see how this appointment changes. [because with all the Naruto Wiki articles I've read, I've already come across who has the title of the sixth Hokage
1: I see. The Hokage purposely put the children together due to existing group of their parents.

1: Wow. Sai, despite being the one who has trouble understanding emotions, was able to tell Sakura that Naruto loves her.
1: Oh shit. He also likens what she made Naruto promise was like a curse mark.
1=20180602
Episode 203:
1: Madura claims that Naruto is a Senju (and thus would have inherited conflict with Sasuke - if inheriting such a thing were possible).
1: This Raikage is reckless. He sacrificed his left arm for an attack. And was (without interference from Gaara) going to sacrifice himself.
1: Although, I suppose one could try and carefully pull off one's skin.
1: Susanoo
1=20180602
Episode 204:
1: He feels imprisoned.
1: What exactly does Susanoo do?
1: She has three chakra natures.
1: This guy can fly?

Episode 206:
1: Whaa. Hinata got dibs, Sakura.
1: Oh I see. She's just putting on a front. [confirmed by flashback]
1: Wow. This is the most serious (and wise) we've probably seen from Naruto. "I hate people who lie to themselves."
1=20180608
Episode 209:
1: When Sasuke crushes Danzo, I thought that was anticlimactic given all the Sharingan in his arm. [but I'm soon corrected]
1: Hmm. Why would he use his Amaterasu so early (before testing/understanding his opponent)
1: I suppose now it's Sasuke's turn to be annoying (and Naruto is the grounded character). Sasuke is full of meaningless anger, just as Danzo correctly points out. [it's reiterated in the preview at the end of this episode]
1: Hmm.
1=20180609
Episode 210:
1: Hmm. That was just a little confusing, but apparently Madara was going to help until Sasuke actually managed to break free of the Danzo's cursed seal on his own.
1=20180609
Episode 211:
1: "Don't move Karin" He must mean that he would hit her where she wouldn't die. [Oh, I might be wrong here]
1: Huh. I see. This is where all the bitterness comes from. But to be fair, Danzo's heart is misplaced and he also hesitated to volunteer (as the 2nd Hokage pointed out)
1: At the end of the day, I suppose Danzo was a good person (as opposed to Sasuke's current state) and just made a series of bad decisions due to his desperate attempt at becoming hokage.
1=20180609
Episode 212:
1: Beyond insane for Sakura to think she could defeat Sasuke and Tobi. In particular, even several of them attacking Tobi resulted in zero progress.

1: Honestly, her crush for Sasuke doesn't make sense.
1: Her running in like that... how dumb. What a terribly written character. Inoue from BLEACH was a better female character.
1=20180609
Episode 215:
1: That was surprising. Naruto says, "What you've been doing is... understandable." I love this wise version of Naruto!
1: Holy shit. Karin was able to go from crushing on Sasuke (and more legitimately) to realizing she shouldn't (unlike Sakura who is just blindly in love)
1=20180609
Episode 216:
1: Oh, I forgot that. "I used to hate you. You better not die." - Sasuke to Naruto (in an old episode, shown here as a flashback)
1: Oh. I guess in several places, but especially here, the story uses the theme of being stronger with friends (reminds me of Harry Potter vs. Voldemort)
1: Haha. That flashback. "I wouldn't be surprised if it snowed."
1: "I'm really glad I met you."
1: Naruto still smiling as Sasuke says mean things.
1: So they exchanged all those words just by fighting? Reminds me of a martial arts flick where the two fighters mentally engaged in battle before they engaged in battle (or something like that). It is actually explained later, and has to do with a flashback.
1: "If I die, we both die, Sasuke."
1=20180610

1: Smile. Naruto lies down beside them.
1: Ha. "Hey Sai! Since when did you develop such a carefree laugh? Huh?" "Thank you." "That wasn't a compliment!"

1: Ha. Definitely not a paradise.
1: Interesting that the Raikage didn't explicitly inform Killer Bee to help Naruto.

Episode 274:
1: "You're idea of kindness is wrong here!" This is a sentiment I've covered before in my blog. The main idea was that sometimes we do thing which we think are kind, but they actually result in harm or bad. In different words, it can sometimes be better to take an action which seems suboptimal in the present in order to achieve more positive results in the future.

1: Seems strategically silly for him to retreat all the reanimated beings. Since it seems implied the reanimated don't tire or at least don't die, so then just continue to wear out the enemy forces.

1b: I thought there was something about simultaneous use of Nine-Tails Chakra Mode and shadow clone [yes, confirmed by the Wiki: since the Nine-Tails currently does not cooperate with Naruto, then Naruto must "be careful of how long he uses the form for and how many shadow clones he creates, as doing too many only increases the risk" "that the Nine-Tails will take that shelved chakra, resulting in Naruto's death."]
1b: He thought the wave was coming from the One-Tail, but it was coming from Gaara
1a=20210728,* 1b=20210731
*For simplicity, I omitted this from the overall log.
Episode 297:

1: Eighteen minutes into the episode, when the one guy covers the other guys mouth. I'm not sure what that means. But it occurred to me that if the clam is projecting an area genjutsu, you'd know where the clam were if you went beyond the area of effect.

Episode 324:
1: I'm not sure about these yet, but reanimated Jinchuriki shouldn't have their original Tails spirit in them. Since it seems to me that the Tails spirit is an entity distinct from the Jinchuriki. In fact, I feel like that should be the limitation. Reanimated persons should only be buckets that can be filled with chakra and the summoner should be the one to fill that chakra [the summon requires a sacrifice, that sacrifice should be the source of chakra with a sacrifice that's low on chakra meaning that the summon only has that much chakra][It's possible what I mentioned is partly true].
1: It is revealed to the audience the ace in the box in the conversation between Kabuto and Tobi was in fact Madara.

1: Hmm I think the idea that he broke reanimation juts but might still have infinite chakra to be silly...
1: I guess even the reanimated Shinobi with infinite chakra seems silly because chakra should have a source.

Episode 358:
1: Holy crap Danzos blame for so much runs deep (being the one to cause 24-hour surveillance of Uchiha clan after the Nine Tails incident, directly against the logic of the third Hokage). I almost don't like watching because of Danzo. It's different than an antagonist like Madara, i.e., sure these different antagonists have these extreme ideals and wishes but some are entertaining whereas Danzo's ways are evil and detestable.

Episode 375:
1: Wow this Obito Kakashi fight is probably the best fight in the series so far. Or at least top 5. Others I remember are Naruto vs Sasuke at the falls. This one was fast-paced and extended.

Although finishing episode 220 of Naruto would have been a good place to stop, I formed a strange desire to continue watching Naruto Shippuden. And, like with Naruto, I decided to just watch the dubbed versions so that I can multitask. Unfortunately, Viz only has dubbed versions of episodes 1-97.

I was thinking about watching more Shippuden, but I had no energy to watch.
20210724:
Today I decided to pick up from where I left off. I decided to rewatch the last episode which I completed (Episode 217). It's a weird place to the series back up on. I honestly don't recall anything, though the episode clues me in on some of the events.
Note that I also wanted to verify that the episode numbers lined up correctly. This was confirmed upon being able to identify my two previous comments for the episode: "Naruto lies down beside them." and "Hey Sai! Since when did you develop such a carefree laugh?"
In any case, I was randomly searching for articles and I ended up on Gaara's wiki page where I read the Five Kage Summit section. I was sure that this section caught me up on a good portion of the episodes prior to Episode 217 (in particular, I believe the last sentence of that section occurred at the very start of Episode 218).

20210830:
At the end of episode 421, in the credits different characters are shown at the ramen shop. Hinata ate more bowls than Naruto! I did a follow-up and apparently the credits draw parallels between past and present. In the past, Minato is on the left, Kushina is on the right, and Kushina gets sick (likely from pregancy as the part right after suggests). In the present, Hinata is on the left, Naruto is on the right, and Naruto gets sick (likely from eating too much while trying to keep up with Hinata). The drawings indicate that Hinata's personality is more like Minato and Naruto's personality is more like Kushina (which makes sense, he even has a verbal tick like his mother). I also learned that there's an omake (extra) at the end of Shippuden episode 95 where several characters compete in a ramen eating contest and Hinata wins with 46 bowls (Naruto only ate 30)! Trying to find the omake, I learned that the endings for the dubbed episodes are different from the endings for the subbed episodes; the omake was in the sub version.
20210831: Episodes 426-427, JAES
20231006 Comment:
I don't remember when - I would guess some time in 2021 - but I had spoiled the ending for myself. I also don't remember the reason why I had done this, but I imagine it had occurred while I was reading the Wiki and perhaps was frustrated with how drawn out the ending battle was; there are over 70 episodes including filler episodes and over 30 episodes excluding filler episodes between where I last watched and the last episode, Episode 500.

Episode 089:
1: Shikamaru's dad asks him if he knows who the king is and Shikamaru responds
1: It seems like Shikamaru's dad already knows the answer. As a double whammy, Shikamaru's dad also beats him (at Shogi).

1: Holy crap, how many Rasengans is that? [Apparently the technique is called "Ultra-Many Spiraling Serial Spheres" - at least according to the Naruto wiki]
1=20170623
Episode 105:
1: I don't understand their tactic. Certainly they should have searched for their opponents, but tat the same time, I think keeping closer to the lake would have been reasonable.

1: Giant Rasengan.

Episode 107:
1: Lol. Mini Three-Tails.
1: "And I'm that Jinchuriki!"
1: I was confused the first time I heard the lines spoken, but now I understand: "If I hadn't told him such a thing..." Flashback to "The place where someone thinks of you, that's where home is." [...] Back to present. "You told him?" [When I first heard her say it, it seemed like she was accusing him of something.]

Episode 111:
1: Why did Guren have to sacrifice herself in that way? (though she must be alive since the flower is still encased in crystal)
1: Quite a surprise: Gamakichi can use fire style.

Episode 114:
1: Dang. Anesthetic within his blood.
1: "Which one... are you now?" "Which one... do you think?"

1: Cute. Naruto speaks like his master.
1: Aww... Jiraiya gives Naruto his last piece of meat (and it distracts Naruto from their present conversation)

Episode 124:
1a: Doesn't make sense. If Tobi can run from the attack, then Sasuke should be able to also.
1a: Huh. He trained his left eye to counter the Sharingan.
1b: How can he fly if his left wing is just snakes.
1b: Oh man. What a terrible ultimate (self-detonation).
1a=20171216 AM, 1b=20171216 PM
Episode 125:
1: Wow. Sasuke's resourcefulness and quick-thinking
1: It has yet to be revealed if Tobi survived, and I knew he probably should survive. But then I realized he definitely survived because his ability is shifting to another dimension.

Episode 132:
1: Oh my goodness. I'm glad he retreated. 1) It seems like the tactically smart move. 2) I'm not ready for Jiraiya to die.
1: Hmm. There's a scene where the three are back to back. But given their shared eyesight, they should face each other. Lol.

1: Hehe. Killing Itachi can't be this easy.
1: Well. It's not going against Sasuke's orders. Sasuke just told them to wait.
1: They don't show Naruto using a clone for Rasengan. But we don't see him use it solo either.
1: After credits is something about Naruto missing milestone episodes.

1: Mostly old flashback. Possibly some new information.
1: Finally some fight.
1: Madara Uchiha.
1=20180516
Episode 136:
1: That's messed up. Takes his brother's eye.
1: Oh. Now we know why Itachi let his brother live.
1: Itachi must be overestimating his Mangekyo Sharingan. If this power alone is powerful, then Madara shouldn't have lost.
1: Hmm. Wonder if there are any plot twists.
1: Smile. Two sleepwalking and Shino gets mad.

1: Huh. Is the snake that got away going to do something?
1: That part with Orochimaru being released seemed anti-climatic.

1a: [Although I only had 10 minutes left, I was sleepy and had to constantly rewind through the past five or so minutes. Must turn off and continue watching tomorrow.]
1b: [Started just a couple minutes before where I left off]
1b: The whole idea seems silly. To battle distrust by planning a coup d'etat. Of course, I wouldn't believe everything that Madara says. Well, I would believe the events, but not the interpretation. For example, I thought it was already told to the viewer that Madara unleashed the Nine Tails. [See Episode 141]
1a=20180517, 1b=20180519
Episode 141:
1: Wait. Madara was against the Uchiha also? I'm confused.
1: "You are lying. The one who made the Nine-Tails attack the village was you, Madara! Itachi said so."
1: Madara tries to turn it around and say that Itachi was the one who was lying.
1: Always tapping Sasuke on the head.
1: Say what!?! "We will destroy the Hidden Leaf!"
1=20180519
Episode 142:
1: I wonder how he makes use of eight blades.
1: Haha. This rapping ninja with humor.
1: Haha. The end credits is Sakura being jealous of Hinata and she does the different expressions of saying "Naruto" (similar to how Hinata is only ever able to say "Naruto")

1: Haha. Naruto catching and throwing away Sai's leeches.
1: Lol. Any person with half a brain should figure out that if leeches were just raining down, they'd fall down in various places, not just raining like a cloud directly overhead.
1: Haha. Just her luck. She's water.
1: Huh. Why didn't Captain Yamato or Sai pick up on the same awkwardness that Naruto sensed? Especially considering he was the one to have forced the villagers to come out.
1=20180520
Episode 148:
1: Naruto is too abrasive. And the repetitiveness of his personality reminds me of how annoying Ichigo became in BLEACH.
1: What a surprise. The one Naruto went looking for was right there.

Episode 152:
1: Interesting. That recollection of Naruto's encounter with Itachi. Itachi mentions he gave Naruto a power.
1: I like the interaction between the Great Sage Toad and Naruto.
1: I was curious how Naruto would react. I suppose the initial "Huh?" is appropriate.
1: I sort of knew before, but I really realized today that the credits are child versions of Sakura, Naruto, Jiraiya, Sasuke, Orochimaru, and Tsunade. I suppose the juxtaposition of two generations at the same age is unexpected.
1=20180521 AM
Episode 153:
1: I wonder if he would buy a Popsicle at some point.
1: Ah. He buys a Popsicle.
1: Wow. Iruka's words to Naruto almost got me teary eyed.
1: 9, 31, 8 | 106, 7 | 207, 15
1: My guess is "Naruto" would be the key.
1: Oh. After Kakashi was reading the numbers out loud, I would think they're page numbers.
1: Hahaha. 106 centimeters!
1=20180521 AM
Episode 154:
1: Yay! I was right about the page numbers!
1: "The Real One's Not Among Them" This probably means that there is a real Pain, which is not one of the Pain's he fought. This would be helpful in the sense that one could develop a strategy to fight the real Pain directly. Or to fight the Pains knowing that they are being controlled by another.
1: Haha. "By that time I'll no longer be a human being."

Episode 158:
1: Fucking Danzo. What a prick.
1: Nice. You tell them Tsunade. They lack... "The Power to Believe."
1: Oh no!!! Danzo!!!
1: Yeah. On that note. (Kakashi telling one of the Pain that their method is pointless) 1) If the enemy is ransacking the village to look for Naruto, then handing over Naruto is their best hope of survival. Even estimating for the worst case, not having Naruto there would be like 95% chance of loss compared to having Naruto would be 50% chance of loss. 2) From the enemy's point of view, what good is killing people in order to find Naruto? It's literally the most brute force tactic possible. It makes Pain look like a complete idiot, because anyone who does just a little investigating would know that Naruto can be easily baited by offering up Sasuke.
1=20180523 AM
Episode 161:
1: Oh wow. Naruto taught Konohamaru Rasengan...
1: They're talking about how he has to take in chakra while he's moving. What if a clone does it?
1: Wait. With them looking at the message now. Did they copy it exactly how it looked? Because when they wrote it down on paper, it would have been written in someone else's penmanship, right?
1: Hehe. Konohamaru also executes with a clone.
1: The old frog says something that reminds him of using clones. So I was right!?
1=20180525 AM
Episode 162:
1: "Almighty Push."
1=20180525 AM
Episode 163:
1: Nice. First one in one swoop.
1: Huh. They're surprised that he threw it. Why? Oh, well I suppose because Rasengan can't be thrown.
1: Oh, but we haven't seen him use his clone to collect Nature chakra yet.
1=20180525 AM
Episode 164:
1: Hmm. Seems like a waste of chakra. Quick is good, but it's unclear that Naruto understands his enemy's moves. Perhaps there's attacks that use less chakra worth using to tease out some of the enemy's defenses. [In the next scene we see the other guy absorb it.]
1=20180525 AM
Episode 165:
1: The delicate balance of the number of clones created was explained.
1: Actually, "two wrongs don't make a right"
A: "I don't have an answer"
1: Hmm. His vision has similarities with Thanos: he believes that extinguishing people can help reset the world

*I skip towards to the end to remember how it ended.
Episode 166:
1: Hmm. In some sense he believes in "The Purge."
1: Ooo. Finally she reveals her feelings to Naruto.
1: Damn. Her caretaker just left Naruto on the ground (without even checking for injury).
1: Oh, made me a little teary (well, that moment where one feels tears coming up, but no tears have yet arrived). (When she and a superimposed Naruto say "I stand by what I say...")
1: I thought he was gonna drop her on top of Naruto and impale her. (though I figured her character is too important to kill off) [Oh, but after I made this comment, apparently he does stab her.]
1: Oh right, but she has an entire end credits after her!
1=20180530
Episode 167:
1: Sixtails.
1: Well. Although it's dangerous to Naruto and others. At least the Nine Tails is a rival to Pain.
1: I'm not sure how this planetary jutsu is supposed to hold the Nine Tails.
1: "Naruto..."
1: How does Naruto not know that the fourth Hokage is his father? I suppose a different question is how do I know? [Naruto finds out that the fourth Hokage is his father in episode 168. (Quora.com)] [As for the other question, apparently there have been several moments throughout the manga/anime. In particular, some point to the very first Naruto episode]
1=20180530
Episode 168:
1: Half? Why just half? Where's the other half?
1: The fourth Hokage refers to the Nine Tails being controlled.
1: Lol. Creepy. Will the fourth Hokage be watching everything Naruto does? (And by everything I mean...) [The answer to this comes later]
1: "I'm not smart."
1: Aww... "last time"
1: That was satisfying.

1: I got some yogurt and granola and was able to resume.
1: Danzo mentioned.
1: Hmm. Why have Nagato kill Yahiko and hold Konan hostage if he's gonna have Nagato killed anyways?
1: Also the caption says "Kill them." But Only Nagato is on the ground.

Episode 174:
1:
Some day, I'll break this curse1: The name is Naruto (actually, I might have already read that the fourth Hokage named his son after Jiraiya's character; either that or it was an earlier episode [It turns out this was indeed revealed in Shippuden Episode #133]).
If there is such a thing as peace, I'll seize it!
There's something more important than the method.
It's the power to believe in it!
Episode 175:
1: What are the rules of this jutsu? [The Naruto wiki suggests the number of people depends on the duration of death, i.e., many recent deaths or one death from long ago]
1: Huh. I didn't expect Ino to say that. "I could almost fall for him."

1: It's particularly unfortunate that he was the one who caused the messenger frog to be killed. That hasn't yet to be uncovered, and perhaps it would never be uncovered given the chaos that occurred that day. It would require the frog community to question who killed the messenger and for Lady Tsunade to corroborate that she sent him to get Naruto.
1: Hmm. It's suspicious to nominate yourself.
1: Hmm. We'll see how this appointment changes. [because with all the Naruto Wiki articles I've read, I've already come across who has the title of the sixth Hokage

Episode 201:
1: Wow. Sai, despite being the one who has trouble understanding emotions, was able to tell Sakura that Naruto loves her.
1: Oh shit. He also likens what she made Naruto promise was like a curse mark.
1=20180602
Episode 203:
1: Madura claims that Naruto is a Senju (and thus would have inherited conflict with Sasuke - if inheriting such a thing were possible).
1: This Raikage is reckless. He sacrificed his left arm for an attack. And was (without interference from Gaara) going to sacrifice himself.
1: Although, I suppose one could try and carefully pull off one's skin.
1: Susanoo
1=20180602
Episode 204:
1: He feels imprisoned.
1: What exactly does Susanoo do?
1: She has three chakra natures.

Episode 206:
1: Whaa. Hinata got dibs, Sakura.
1: Oh I see. She's just putting on a front. [confirmed by flashback]
1: Wow. This is the most serious (and wise) we've probably seen from Naruto. "I hate people who lie to themselves."
1=20180608
Episode 209:
1: When Sasuke crushes Danzo, I thought that was anticlimactic given all the Sharingan in his arm. [but I'm soon corrected]
1: Hmm. Why would he use his Amaterasu so early (before testing/understanding his opponent)
1: I suppose now it's Sasuke's turn to be annoying (and Naruto is the grounded character). Sasuke is full of meaningless anger, just as Danzo correctly points out. [it's reiterated in the preview at the end of this episode]
1: Hmm.
1=20180609
Episode 210:
1: Hmm. That was just a little confusing, but apparently Madara was going to help until Sasuke actually managed to break free of the Danzo's cursed seal on his own.
1=20180609
Episode 211:
1: "Don't move Karin" He must mean that he would hit her where she wouldn't die. [Oh, I might be wrong here]
1: Huh. I see. This is where all the bitterness comes from. But to be fair, Danzo's heart is misplaced and he also hesitated to volunteer (as the 2nd Hokage pointed out)
1: At the end of the day, I suppose Danzo was a good person (as opposed to Sasuke's current state) and just made a series of bad decisions due to his desperate attempt at becoming hokage.
1=20180609
Episode 212:
1: Beyond insane for Sakura to think she could defeat Sasuke and Tobi. In particular, even several of them attacking Tobi resulted in zero progress.
1=20180609
# MOSTLY FILLER: Ep. 213
Episode 214:
1: Honestly, her crush for Sasuke doesn't make sense.
1: Her running in like that... how dumb. What a terribly written character. Inoue from BLEACH was a better female character.
1=20180609
Episode 215:
1: That was surprising. Naruto says, "What you've been doing is... understandable." I love this wise version of Naruto!
1: Holy shit. Karin was able to go from crushing on Sasuke (and more legitimately) to realizing she shouldn't (unlike Sakura who is just blindly in love)
1=20180609
Episode 216:
1: Oh, I forgot that. "I used to hate you. You better not die." - Sasuke to Naruto (in an old episode, shown here as a flashback)
1: Oh. I guess in several places, but especially here, the story uses the theme of being stronger with friends (reminds me of Harry Potter vs. Voldemort)
1: Haha. That flashback. "I wouldn't be surprised if it snowed."
1: "I'm really glad I met you."
1: Naruto still smiling as Sasuke says mean things.
1: So they exchanged all those words just by fighting? Reminds me of a martial arts flick where the two fighters mentally engaged in battle before they engaged in battle (or something like that). It is actually explained later, and has to do with a flashback.
1: "If I die, we both die, Sasuke."

1: I see so a limitation of the Resurrection jutsu is control.
1: I don't know, I feel like Orochimaru was a likeable villain whereas Kabuto... he feels unmotivated

1: last episode for the night.
1: hmm, that's an extreme practice (two candidates fight to the death); I wonder if it was an approved practice; well I guess eliminate all the Uchiha was also extreme, because why not just imprisonment
1: ah more workaround to Reanimation: to free spirit.
1=20210727 AM
Episode 264:
1: hmm, Kabuto didnt show Madara how to stop Reanimation jutsu, he just talked about it.
1=20210727 AM
Episode 269:
1: This episode was hard to follow, perhaps because I have to read the subtitles and understand the word game of the subtitles [looking up the summary, it seems there was a loss in translation as he did apparently say his most-used word which is why he got sucked in; his most said word changed on his way in which the show did a good job of explaining through dialogue]

Episode 272:
1: I guess it makes sense from a viewer interest point of view that not every resurrected enemy can simply be made to pass on via some emotional resolution. However, sometimes it feels like an enemy would be resolved
1=20210728 AM
Episode 274:
1: "You're idea of kindness is wrong here!" This is a sentiment I've covered before in my blog. The main idea was that sometimes we do thing which we think are kind, but they actually result in harm or bad. In different words, it can sometimes be better to take an action which seems suboptimal in the present in order to achieve more positive results in the future.
1=20210728 AM
Episode 276:
1: Seems strategically silly for him to retreat all the reanimated beings. Since it seems implied the reanimated don't tire or at least don't die, so then just continue to wear out the enemy forces.
1: The one Kage soon mentions the same: "I should think the wiser move with the Reanimation is to keep raising the dead and fight hard."
1: Gaar then asks "So are you saying they have a better plan than that?"

1: oh... plot twist, they aren't brothers by blood.
1=20210728
Episode 283:
1: My thought would be that Naruto uses Nine Tails to counter. But apparently he just dodged.
1: So Naruto was able to dodge without using transportation jutsu?

# FILLER: Eps. 284-295
Episode 296:
1a: Following filler episodes, this episode begins with a recap (presumably of the canon episodes)
1b: I thought there was something about simultaneous use of Nine-Tails Chakra Mode and shadow clone [yes, confirmed by the Wiki: since the Nine-Tails currently does not cooperate with Naruto, then Naruto must "be careful of how long he uses the form for and how many shadow clones he creates, as doing too many only increases the risk" "that the Nine-Tails will take that shelved chakra, resulting in Naruto's death."]
1b: He thought the wave was coming from the One-Tail, but it was coming from Gaara
1a=20210728,* 1b=20210731
*For simplicity, I omitted this from the overall log.
Episode 297:
1: Hmm. I can see the Kage's core logic, but there are probably good alternatives aside from taking away the pieces that help hold your son together.
1: For the record: "I ordered Yashamaru to lie to you."
1=20210731
Episode 298:
1: I was momentarily confused before remembering that Nagato and Pain are the same person.
1=20210731
Episode 299:
1: Hehe. Good thing Itachi is calm and tactical.
1: Nice run through of persons important to Naruto.
1=20210731
Episode 300:
1: Hehe. "I'm totally ready to be sealed."
1: Eighteen minutes into the episode, when the one guy covers the other guys mouth. I'm not sure what that means. But it occurred to me that if the clam is projecting an area genjutsu, you'd know where the clam were if you went beyond the area of effect.
1=20210731
Episode 301:
1: "There is! It's me!"
1: Sealing is almost like throwing a pokeball.
1: These shinobi are fearless. What's the point of them standing there if they're outclassed?
1: Wow. Naruto actually put some thought to that face-off... Very surprising
1=20210731
Episode 302:
1: Oh what the... the one that fought the Raikage was just a clone!?! [It's confirmed in Ep 321 when Bee says, "Anyways, one of your clones contacted me."]

Episode 321:
1: Exactly: "Sometimes a lucky guess ends up correct."
1: Who is Nawaki?
1: Oh, everyone is only just learning that the Tobi Madara is not the real Madara.
1=20210731
Episode 322:
1: "Rubber pops, I'm just a clone, so why did you..." "I feel bad for the others. But clone or not, you are needed here." (the value of a clone Naruto!!!)
1=20210801
Episode 323:
1: The number of different moves that Naruto has used in these last number of episodes is amazing.
1: "We'll win!" - the five Kage
1=20210801
Episode 324:
1: I'm not sure about these yet, but reanimated Jinchuriki shouldn't have their original Tails spirit in them. Since it seems to me that the Tails spirit is an entity distinct from the Jinchuriki. In fact, I feel like that should be the limitation. Reanimated persons should only be buckets that can be filled with chakra and the summoner should be the one to fill that chakra [the summon requires a sacrifice, that sacrifice should be the source of chakra with a sacrifice that's low on chakra meaning that the summon only has that much chakra][It's possible what I mentioned is partly true].
1: It is revealed to the audience the ace in the box in the conversation between Kabuto and Tobi was in fact Madara.
1=20210801
Episode 325:
1: Oh, it is hypothesized by the Eight Tails beast that the Tailed Beasts were added back into the reanimated Jinchuriki
1: Smile. "At first I thought it was her nip..."
1: Hehe. Close call. Kakashi and Might Guy show up; and by Tobi's interpretation, they strategically did so by waiting for him to materialize
1=20210801
Episode 326:
1: Hahahaha. "Got to hand it to you Kakashi, your skills of deduction are impressive" (after Kakashi only repeated what Naruto said)
1: Hmm. Well it's not Naruto's fault...

Episode 333:
1: wow, what a threat: would you like these clones to use susano or not?
1=20210805 AM
Episode 334:
1: Okay... I guess worse than Sasuke is Kabuto...
1=20210805
Episode 336:
1: What an intense backstory. The whole part about the Foundation setting Mother against Kabuto doesn't make sense (or at the least very hard to follow).
1=20210805
Episode 337:
1: Izanami. Did Itachi use this before? Against Sasuke?
1=20210805
Episode 338:
1: Huh. I don't understand this explanation. He first mentioned physical senses. And then talked about how he created a loop. [After he talks about the history, I kind of get it. The Izanami isn't about eyesight, it's about the senses. In Kabuto's loop, the primary examples are the feeling of the water drop on his shoulder and the sound of stepping on the feather.]
1=20210805
Episode 339:
1: Uh... Well to be fair this is a Madara with the first Hokage attached plus benefits of reanimation.
1: Hehe. In this last moment he in fact did not tap Sasuke's forehead.
1: So the Reanimation jutsu is stopped, but what's to stop Kabuto from using it again?
1=20210805
Episode 340:
1: I'm a little surprised that spirits that were sealed are also freed.
1: "Rescind the contract." WTF.
1=20210805
Episode 341:
1: Finally Sasuke's arc is coming around, i.e., the potential for him to have a change of heart is materializing.
1=20210808
Episode 342:
1: That Might Guy reversing the nunchuka was cool.
1: Huh a crack?
1: So I guess somehow the teleportation simultaneous with the jutsu occupies the same space.
1: Aww... not quite tearjerker, maybe half (Karama vouches for Naruto)
1=20210808
Episode 343:
1: Damn, next level strategy, though technically they made the clone poof noise so that's misleading...
1=20210808
Episode 344:
1: Hmm I think the idea that he broke reanimation juts but might still have infinite chakra to be silly...
1: I guess even the reanimated Shinobi with infinite chakra seems silly because chakra should have a source.
1: Obito's backstory is mildly interesting.

1: Freaking Danzo
1=20210809
Episode 349:
1: Sit your ass down, Danzo.
1=20210809
Episode 350:
1: I see. Of all days to have Kakashi take the day off.
1: Oh no! I mean this is filler. But according to this, it was Kakashi that inadvertently tipped off Obito to the pregnancy.
1=20210809
Episode 358:
1: Holy crap Danzos blame for so much runs deep (being the one to cause 24-hour surveillance of Uchiha clan after the Nine Tails incident, directly against the logic of the third Hokage). I almost don't like watching because of Danzo. It's different than an antagonist like Madara, i.e., sure these different antagonists have these extreme ideals and wishes but some are entertaining whereas Danzo's ways are evil and detestable.
1: Oh okay, Itachi takes Shisui eye and hides it as a crow.
1=20210811
Episode 359:
1: Hmm, twist was that Hiruzen had some knowledge when it came to Itachi.
1: Ah, the moment Hiruzen makes Kakashi a Jonin.
1=20210811
Episode 360:
1: haha their tired slap.
1=20210811
Episode 362:
1: I guess the annoying thing with obito is he abandoned his own philosphies
1: "I'll never let my comrades die!" At first I was surprised he happened to say something so close to Kakashi's situation, but then I remembered that was essentially the first thing he taught Team 7.
1=20210814
Episode 363:
1: Hehe. It's like the megazord fights in Power Rangers.
1:20210814
Episode 364:
1: Smart that Madara took out the brains of the Allied Forces. But how did he know where they were located. I suppose the Allied Forces would never have a reason to prepare defenses against that sort of power.

Episode 373:
1: After Sakura unleases her punch, Naruto thinks "I am never, ever talking back to Sakura ever again."
1: Hahaha. I know that it's typical for a regular shinobi to make just one shadow clone, but I couldn't help but laugh when Kiba used it.
1: The next generation of the Sannin... at least they have the summoning part down :D
1=20210815
Episode 375:
1: Wow this Obito Kakashi fight is probably the best fight in the series so far. Or at least top 5. Others I remember are Naruto vs Sasuke at the falls. This one was fast-paced and extended.
1: Hmm when did the Fourth realize Obito was the same opponent, or is it that he can sense the teleportation mark [the technique is called Flying Thunder God Jutsu (Viz print media) / Flying Riajin Jutsu (English anime); ]

Hmm, I could understand Negi dying, since his power overlaps with Hinata, but Shikamaru doesn't have an equivalent...

(I believe this is what Madara did once before).
Huh. Nine friends not including Sakura; I try to name them: Sai, Lee, Tenten, Shika, Ino, Chogi, Hinata and then... I can't remember Hinata's teammates [Kiba and Shino].

Hmm, it seems like Hinata was more skilled than Hanabi, but didn't have the intent to defeat her, and Hanabi being too young was just intent on winning the match, with that being said, Hanabi was quite skilled taking into account that she was five years younger.
1=20210825
Episode 392:
1: Hmm. Are there rules for what it takes to break out of a seal? I feel like this is being done just for convenience of the story. [apparently there was presidence set by Sasuke using his Susano'o to break out of Danzo's seal]
1: Huh. He didn't have to remove an eye first?
1: Interesting. He loves the feel of battle yet embarks on putting the entire world under a jutsu for peace.
1=20210830
Episode 393:
1: Oh I see. Removal of Kurama from Naruto is suppose to be like instadeath - at least I think. So Kurama is likely asking for a favor from Gaara in this aspect. We'll see.
