"Hero of the Hidden Leaf" "Konoha no eiyū" (木ノ葉の英雄)

This week's episode was one of the best in both Naruto/Naruto Shippuden. I say both because it had two important elements: emotion and achievement. Naruto has now become a hero of the hidden leaf and he is now finally accepted as one by everyone in Konoha. This is what Naruto has always wanted, even from the start of the Naruto series. Being recognized as a hero by the majority of people who used to think of him as a failure means Naruto is one step closer to becoming Hokage.

The end of Pain arc is here and it looks like the next two episodes (at the least) are parts of a filler. They want to focus on a back-story of Iruka, which should be somewhat amusing. The Pain arc had pretty good pacing, but now we are getting closer and closer to the Manga. When in doubt, just throw in some fillers! Stay tuned.
