Fantastic episode. Definitely deserves higher than a 8.8!! Jam packed with touching moments between Naruto and Sasuke. A few episodes ago I was amazed that Sasuke could still be so blind, and I am so glad his dear friend Naruto was finally able to show him the light. What a great episode of television. This show continues to amaze me. So sad I'm almost done, but I'm happy I've embarked on this journey.
