New opening! I kind of like the song, and the other squads get added to the opening sequence.
The Forest of Death. Don't let its spooky name fool you, it's really that bad. Anko takes particular delight in telling the Genin this. Amongst its many dangers are suspicious perfectly-square rocks. Hey! It's Konohamaru! I'm suprised. They have yet to master the gunpowder trick. Naruto tells the gang he doesn't have time to mess around, but the gang aren't here - they're reporting for the class newspaper and came to interview Naruto. Anko vouches for them, proving herself a friend of the free press.
I... hey! This is a clip show! That's what I get for skipping the intro for the first time. We recap who and what Squad Seven is and does, and since it's Naruto doing the telling Sasuke doesn't come off as good as he might. Also, according to Naruto, he and Sakura are about going steady. Onto the less-than-impressive adventures of the team, with the weeding and dog-walking and such. The Konohamaru gang is less than impressed by his retelling of his exploits, so he throws in crippling the Hokage with Sexy Jutsu. Konohamaru tells us how an interviewee should act, and goes over what a Hokage is. Naruto questions Konohamaru's journalistic integrity. Thoughtfully, Naruto mentions Iruka, particularlly his habit of treating Naruto to the good ramen.
To cover all the bases, we go over the various jutsus as explained by the beautiful kunoichi maiden Sakura. Sexy, Shadow Clone, the dreaded Harem Jutsu, and chalkboard eraser pranks. Sasuke brings to the table his fire-breathing and the Windmill of Shadows, not to mention his version of Sharingan. Naruto and I agree her Sasuke introduction is taking way too long. His greatest power is his... looks. Oh, Sakura. Moving on (thank the Ninja Gods), she covers Kakashi with his uber-Saringan and Make-Out Paradise. We get another look at Fanged Pursuit Jutsu! YES! Adorable Ninja Dogs make clip shows worth it. So apparently he isn't a member of the Uchina clan, and has Sharingan. Interesting. We also touch on the Lightning Blade Jutsu before looking at some of the Jutsus Squad Seven's run up against before moving on.
Sasuke gets called on to cover their rivals, and since he does most of the ass-kicking in the group, that's probably fair. We go over Gaara, Heji and Rock Lee, none of which have the slightest interest in Naruto. Even the Konohamaru Gang doesn't think Naruto's the leader, which HAH! A quick look back at the other squads, and the other Village Ninjas. Squad Seven's ready to take on the world. The Gang gives the Genin their best wishes before heading off. Kakashi finally shows up, claiming tardiness due to meeting a pretty girl and dancing. Hee. Still just a clip show, though.
Next Episode: The actual Forest of Death. Stupid clip shows.
