*The opening and ending theme of episode 71 contain clips from the Naruto Shippuuden Movie 2
Naruto continues to try to reawaken Sora inside his Kyuubi transformed state despite being badly injured. Kazuma uses his camouflage jutsu to gain an advantage over Asuma, but Sai arrives to restrain him with his Imitation Beast technique. Kazuma breaks free and charges Asuma, but is killed instead. Naruto finally manages to expel the Kyuubi’s chakra from Sora causing it to dissipate in the air since it no longer had a host. Everyone rejoices after Sora regains consciousness. Weeks later, as Konoha continues to rebuild, Sora bids farewell to everyone to go on a journey around the world to meet new people.

In an undisclosed location underground, the Jinchuuriki of the Two-Tailed Demon Cat is cornered by two members of Akatsuki: Hidden and Kakuzu.

    That filler was very dispointing, I expect more of a fight 9tail vs 9tail. That was more talking about fight than physical fight.

    Sora hit Naruto so hard that he cant stand up like that, without the power of the bijuu. He punch him several times and hit him with an energy ball, how can it be. Of course, Naruto have great stamina but that was ridiculous.

    In this filler, yamato shows us how realy powerful he is. But why didnt he use more water and earth jutsus.

    We also see how brave Tsunade is. Watching the fights and doing nothing. I understand if its a outdoor mission, but it was in the middle of the village and she also saw the nine tailed in the distance. What she waiting for?

    Its about time time Hidan Kakazu appeared. On the plus side, NO MORE FILLERS.
    The only tragic setback is that the Hidan/Kakuzu saga is where Asuma dies.

    I think Asuma meant that the children of Konoha are the “king” because they are the future.

    very true but as i think naruto is the most important child as the king because of the kyuubi and having the sage powers and being almsot the only i think can beat sasuke

    No everyonoe Naruto and the kyuubi is still as strong as ever! Sora had Kyuubi Chakra because when the Kyuubi attack the village that time he was so powerful he was leaking chakra and the monk took that chakra that was leaked and put it in Sora and if manifested into like a Kyuubi clone! But now he doesn’t have the Ckyuubi chakra anymore because you saw it leave at the end of the episode ! Remember when Yamato said it need to find a vessel or it will dissipate which means die or disappear or whatever! So the chakra could find a vessel and its now gone now Sora is a normal shinobi and Naruto is still the most powerful Jinchuuriki! So no worries Narutards!

    I don’t know about any of you guys but I was pissedwhen they made Sora have Kyuubi powers because thats what really made Naruto special and it kinda took a little of his specialness away in my opinion! But now that he’s got it back im happy! Now he’ll get more strong and kick everyones ass!

    that as a lame ending to a lame filler. The anime guys could have least gave us a bit of a treat of Naruto knocking sora in the head a few times before he made his “I’m more annoying than Naruto” exite from the Naruverse… hopefully forever.

    Sora,
    may the road rise up to meet you and then may the hands of orochimaru fall upon you in order to make you an endless victim in his “experiments” while Sasuke uses his eyes to send you into some sort of hell not even Naruto could save you from.

    oh, and don’t come back.

    YES! Finally!! This filler is OVER!!!!

    Oh, and I completely agree with you Siskin!

    Now we get a new movie AND the manga chappie stories! What a great day! A wonderful day! Spectacular! Stupendis! I’m so happy! I’m sad Asuma is going to die and Shikamaru is going to get lung cancer, but it’s still okay because it’s all part of the “manga” NOT the “filler(s)”!! Weeeee~ Oh happy joy~!

    High fives all around everyone!
