Super Freaks R Us: 3 Heads For The Price Of One!
We’re back at it again. Naruto 141 ended the story arch cleanly, albeit a tad abrupt. We also get a lil’ surprise in the end character development wise and realize that “It wasn’t a wasted mission after all.” Click and drag over the text below to read this episode’s summary.
||Spoiler||
Arashii, Sasame’s cousin(?), turned out to be a super freak puppet that Orochimaru created using Ninpou Shisha Kugutsu: Dead Puppet Ninpou. It’s one of the most disgusting characters in the series. 3 people literally lumped together with heads sticking out randomly. Gross.
Naruto takes a blow for Sakura again and is torn up badly. While he’s down, Arashii rocks Jibaku Mandara: Mandala, Buddhist visual path of the enlightened to imprison our favorite demon fox kid in what seems to be an impenetrable groovy pyramid complete with psychedelic colors. It’s goal is to crush whoever is inside little by little until they become coal for little boys and girls (Ok kidding about the coal part).
Sasame attacks with her kunai without much trouble and deflates one of Arashi’s heads. This allows the real Arashii to apologize for all he’s done to his little cousin. The evilness takes over again and would have dealt a final blow to Sasame but… Sakura saves the day! She spouts out something about being prepared to die for the ones that are important to her. Naruto busts out the prism and blows all of the lumped heads off Arashii’s body. They ‘natural’ Arashii has a chat with his cousin before he tosses her to Jiraiya to bust out of the collapsing corridor. *clap clap*
The next scene cuts to Shikimaru telling the 5th Hokage that it’d be easier if there was a medical ninja for his last mission. Do you see where this is going? She says that medical ninjas are a different breed and that it takes a special ’something’ to become one. Fast forward 5 mins and we see Sakura requesting to be Tsunade’s student.
Yay. I knew she’s become a medical ninja ever since the footnotes back in the ‘race story arch’ when she picked up that ship’s mast so easily (See A-H’s version of Naruto 103). If she was to be a fighter, they would already have given her dope ass jutsu’s already. Will Ino join too? Who knows, but I look forward to what’s to come.

Good episode! Like I said before, this episode cleaned everything up nicely and even gave us a nice lil’ surprise in the end. Hopefully, we’ll see more of the other characters. I wanna see some new stuff dammit!
Whew. I was getting tired of Naruto’s ugly mug.
