I skip episode 15 because it was finishing the clone's arc and if you can't guess what happens in it. You haven't watch many anime or show in general.
Episode 16: Crisis: The Threat of Failing. This is a Train boy episode. This arc focusing on Salad right or is that the next one? Oh right this should have the ending someone was complaining about.
So the episode starts with Train Boy trying to run up a wall. so something Naruto learn in a genin is being taught to academy students now. One could argue that this shows the improving education showing that kids are learn earlier then their parents, like how some parent weren't taught calculus until college while their kids learn it in highschool. But I am more inclined to believe that it is simply because these people writing this don't really know what would be taught at the academy so they are just picking what naruto was taught and making it a lesson in their filler for the academy like they did with the summoning jutsu last arc (don't worry next arc they will probably be learning their element next). Also ot making the lessons more "actiony" and therefor interesting. He of course fail so he friends come up to talk to him and Bolt explains what Chakra is. Wait. Why is he doing the wall walking without knowing what chakra is? Shouldn't that have been one of the first things they taught instead of showing wall walking and summonings? So I was right. *disinterested cheering* Oh the clone still around, *disinterested cheering.* Oh great, fat filler tries being the comic relief again by saying she is stylish and then getting offended when train boy say she isn't. Also of course Bolt has to show how easily he is able to wall walk. Train boy still doesn't get it. Why did the academy start off with this instead of explaining what Chakra is first? Was it just to show off how better Bolt is compared to his father? ...Can train boy never do that whining screeching thing again it actual hurt my ears. Train boy says he doesn't want to repeat a year like the repeater, which he hears. Shino then starts talking about...Good God all those background kids are ugly. The background kids start mocking trainboy, which Bolt probably defend him. Wow instead he just laughs with them at his friend.
Opening
Train boy tries to climb again. Fails. Then is caught by LeeTen. Is Train boy family crest a cable plug? Leeten then helps the train boy train. He falls again and this time Lee saves him...why does he look so much like Might Guy now? You can guess what happens.
We then skip over to the repeater asking Bolt to explain to him mathematics again which isn't sinking in. ...So this episode going to end with Train Boy and Repeater helping each other to passed the class right? They point out that Train Boy would be the best teacher for him but because of that comment that put then in an awkward situation. Do those cups have that Naruto soda brand on them?
Back to Lee he gives train boy a green jumpsuit after giving him some advice.
Then repeater see trainboy training and gives him some advice that actually works. Is the repeater's clan symbol a comb? The repeater willing helps out because he understands what it like to lose all your friends because you being held back due to failing a class. Then Train boy offers to help out him in math. He at first rejects his offer. then train boy start going of how great Bolt is, his impassioned speech conveniences the repeater. His way of helping the repeater study is having him hanging upside down using his chakra while studying...since that apparently he better at concentrating when he using his chakra...ok. What I got from the same scene was that the body was a kinetic learner who learn by doing something instead of reading about it, but I"m guessing the writer of this episode doesn't know what that is. OH GOD THAT FACE! They continue to train like this. Bolt gives them a really spicy burger. yada yada.
Oh a fire breaks out. So because this fire breaks out they have a moral dilemma of helping with the fire or their test. You know if this is something two kids have to get involved in maybe Naruto should have set up some sort of fire department. Oh there is a fire department. Oh wait they have to go in now because some woman kids are in the building. This feels like filler to fill out the episode since the episode's plot is all but done not even half way into the episode. So the repeater saves the children. But he takes to long so train boy decides he need to go in and help him...and he decides to wear that green jumpsuit. Oh right it is fire resistant. But by the time he get there the repeater has already fix the sprinkler system.
Because of the fire they fail to make it to the test on time. Shino decides to pass them because of their actions but he kittens around with them first.
Ok the new ending. Ah I see what that person meant.
Episode 17: Run, Sarada! So this is the start of the salad arc.
And now they are doing the standing on water. So same reason as last episode. It's a training Naruto did so they are using it again because the audaince should recognize it as ninja training. Has Shino bothered to explain chakra to the class by this point? Oh there we go, though only about chakra control. Shino makes waves on the water that make all of them fall on their ass on top of the water. Salad complains about how expensive vegetable are while walking home, and see Bolt and his friends jump off a train. They are going to teach Train boy to fish. She act haughty to him. Wow Sakura looks bad. Salad had to make dinner. Sakura thinks they should add tamato to their soup. That is obviously trying to show that she likes adding tomatoes to her food since they are Sasuke's favorite food -hinting at SS bond is clear-.
Opening
So Sakura and Ino are going on some trip. Sakura is n't happy about leaving Salad alone. Sakura asks if she could get Salad anything. Salad looks at an Uchiha clan symbol on the wall and says, "A dad...might be nice." So someone forgot to pick up a package which was a stuff toy of one of Sakura patients its arm was torn so Sakura took it home to fix it up. Well good thing this never happened in Naruto or else the nH fans would have accused her of ripping the arm off herself. she promised to return it today, salad obviously volunteers to take it to the patient and will probably see said patient acting with a father which will bring up her own daddy issues. I was right. Also that's a rabbit not a bear.
While waiting on the train she reads a note from her mother. While reflecting on it she almost misses her stop, and forgets the rabbit. She decides to try running across the rooftops in order to beat the train to the next stop. She stop because she believes by running atop the roof tops would make her no different from Bolt. Shizune see Salad....she has not aged in fact she looks even younger, isn't she at least in her forties now? She does not have the seal on her head, so no, she is not using that.
Salad runs to the train station but an old lady is in front of her so she helps her get to the train to speed thing along, and of course she misses the train. She decides to chase after the train and had to ride on top of the train once she caught up to it, which was the same thing she was grilling bolt about doing. While bolt and his friends are in the train. she after riding on top of the train realizes that bolt was right about how good it felt. Then Shika spots her. He then tells his friends about,and Blond Sai Bolt and him decided to see if they can confirm it because then they can hold it over her head for years. So Salad had to flee after checking that the bunny was still there. Then the fat filler spotted her. God she looks like Ino and Choji daughter. She takes Salad to the main train station's lost and found center. Turns out that their were two of the exact same packages on the same train...somehow.
So the fat filler takes the package to a bazaar in the village her mother goes to sometimes, and get a woman there to look at the doll to figure out who would have it in exchange for some rare potato chips. The doll is part of some event from the hidden waterfall village and represents someone ancestor. The event which conveniently just happens to be today. Oh it like those Japanese lantern events.
Skip to where Sakura and Ino are at some bench face a cliff on the sea where some SS moment happened, their first date. Even if no one likes SS that works on either the anime or the manga. The anime still has to have moments like this because they need to appease the larger of the two fanbases left in Japan. Also Salad, who may ended up the love interest if they can't sell the clone, who is suppose to come from this loving but distant relationship. Oh Sasuke doesn't even contact her. The date lasted 2 1/2 minutes. She even acknowledges that Sasuke probably forgotten. ...This is trying to rewrite chapter 3 isn't it? That explains why they are having a SS scene, they want to write over a NS scene.
Salad catches up to the event but not before the package is already sent sailing, so she has to use the water walking she learned at the start to grab the package. And Bolt and his friends have come by in order to fish. Train boy is going to catch Salad isn't he. They finally give the bunny to the girl. And Sakura comes home in time for Salad to make dinner with Tomatoes in the soup.
