Episode 20: "The Boy with the Sharingan." So this is the episode that will have "the true meaning of a bento" in it right? SO they will try and soften nH this week by either giving Bolt a flashback of Hinata or have Naruto make comments or think of Hinata which he didn't in the original manga. Along with the general softening of SS.
It starts with Sasuke wandering around in a forest about to be attack by celebii. Wow his hair looks generic. He sees celebii has the sharigan and his clan symbol before the boy disappears.
OK onto Salad. Who is running around the village while have a flashback to last episode. Apparently they think audience will forget what happened a week ago and need to be remind of what happen. Why does every character have such flat expressionless faces?
Opening.
OK to the Hokage office where Naruto will get Sasuke's messenger bird since he doesn't have a cell phone. Oh wait now he has a cell phone but most of the time he in places he can't charge it... doesn't he have lighting chakra? So they call Kakashi who's scar now constantly changes position where it is on his eye now apparently -its hard not to notice even for me-. Now Shin talking to his celebii clone. So salad comes to the door just when after calling Kakashi when he mentions he plans on meeting up with Sasuke. In the original their was some conflict in this since the graduation exams where in a few days and if Naruto goes he might miss it which would upset bolt. But that was moved back so that was dropped. Actually *looking at the gaiden* Shizune was actually there as well who was the one that brought up the exams. Well she is a woman. So I guess they didn't think a woman was good enough to be one of Bolt's father's advisers.
Now they have added Salad getting her bag from the hospital with dramatic music playing. She looks at her mother. Oh they just gave her the outfit she wore in the gaiden therefor the outfit she was wearing before yahagi made up his new outfits. Oh great fat filler is coming along still oh right she brought along chips since that is part of her joke, and the whole looking for real father bit. Wait why is he telling Shikamaru to tell Bolt he is sorry the exams aren't till next week or is he intentionally hoping to leave before he get their with the bento? Well without the exams it must be the latter. So he is intentionally leaving before his son can deliver his wife's cooking? *laughs* So Naruto leaves and Salad drag along fat filler, but fat filler wasn't expecting that so she trips them both. Salad ask if she alright while looking incredibly angry. Most of this is from the gaiden. Salad decides to use the bento as an excuses to chase after Naruto and ask bolt for it. He plans on returning it to his mother. They added that she always make lunches for him instead of he knew that bolt was coming with the bento from the gaiden. They also drop him saying it not like he was coming here on purpose, and instead he says always again implying she always makes Naruto lunch. yet all we have ever seen in his office is Ramen cups and booze. Fat filler comes in to be comic relief by saying she will eat it and when Cups pulls her away she thinks he is asking her out. Salad talks about "the importance of a bento." oh it's only an image but they change if from Hinata looking "sad(?)" to her actually making the bento. The little ten tail then see Salad, and shin sends celebii after them. They actually hide his eye. Why?
So fat filler can't run, and celebii attacks.Huh? Salad says only she and her father are the only uhicha left. In the manga she mentions her mother told her only Sasuke was left. Can I just avoid talking about fat filler? Unlike the manga Naruto just appears instead of trying to out run them so he won't have to eat his wife's cooking. So Kurama fights the celebii while Naruto just stand there. Oh! Now they reveal shin's sharingan! Fat filler. Oh the best and only good part of the entire story starts; Naruto and Salad interacting. So far not as good as it was in the manga. OK they added in Naruto calling the food delicious and Salad saying he should thank Bolt. Naruto talks about Sasuke.
It ends with Sasuke pulling out his sword on Salad.
