Naruto Shippuuden Episode 74: Under a Starry Sky
[ratings=5]

Hidan and Kakuzu take Chiriku’s body with them to collect the bounty on his head. Tsunade receives word of the attack on the Temple of Fire and assembles the Twenty Platoons to hunt Akatsuki down inside Konoha’s borders. Asuma bids a silent farewell to Kurenai before leaving with his four-man team.

In the mean time, Naruto is hard at work training to cut the waterfall with his chakra. Sakura drops by frequently to leave behind a basket of soldier pills to give Naruto energy during his training. After nearly a week, Naruto’s hard work finally pays off as he and his clones successfully cut the flow of the waterfall in half.

Please rate this episode (out of five):

Totally Against… NaruSaku…

    Hurray for Naruto. This is a good week since the anime and the manga are both in sync… featuring Naruto’s perseverance in wanting to be a better shinobi. Can’t wait to see Naruto’s Rasenshuriken.

    And what’s with those soldier pills that Sakura concocted for Naruto? If I remember it right, this part is not included in the manga. Are they trying to build up the NaruSaku relationship by injecting these kinda scenes in the anime? Cmon now! People, please support me on this: NaruHina fans, holler!

    Cool! I am third! in the faces of every one I hate! BOOYA!. I think that this was a pretty good episode I do think however that they are putting too much into narusaku! Cmon! but seeing everyone get along and Naruto cutting the watter fall! now that was awesome. Cant wait for the rasenshuriken!

  • the chosen one said:

    well not alot happened in this ep but its leadin up to some that i know are gonna be awesome. cant wait to see those bastards get whats comin to them!
    ps naruto is bad ass we all know it! believe itttt!!

  • Suna no Ken said:

    Two things before I say good night. first is that Naruto is a awesome ninja but he is not badass yet chosen one. H needs to surpass sasuke to be able to say that he is badass! and second… NEVER FRAKING SAY THAT STUPID “BELIEVE IT!” CATCH PHRASE AGAIN! IT WAS FREAKING STUPID! that is all. Good night everyone!

  • white shinobi said:

    this ep was nice naruto cut the waterfall in half and tsunade has made a search for hidan and kakuzo

    and suna no ken belive it

  • Ultimatehokage said:

    The scene where Naruto cut the waterfall was an awesome, best scene in this episode. But he cant use this for a fight.

  • Chiruku said:

    CANT WAIT TO SEE THE FIGHT!!!

  • Ultimatehokage said:

    In this episode, you can see that Naruto need a emotional trigger to gain his skills. 2 1/2 year with Jiraya and you didnt see any improvement, but to see how strong sasuke is, brings him to level under a week.

  • eighthHokage said:

    Cool episode,but because I’m NaruHina fan I don’t like how guys from Pierrot trying to create a “more then just a friend” relationship between Naruto and Sakura.

  • Chiruku said:

    Yes, you´re right he need an emotional trigger.

  • Ultimatehokage said:

    I had never saw Naruto ate something, how can it be. And this soldier pills, first I thougt it was chokolade. Thougt that Naruto cant fight with an empty stomach.

  • Chaos said:

    Pretteh Boring actually… But we’re getting at Asuma’s death moment… Which is pretty cool…nobody likes him anyways :D !

  • Ultimatehokage said:

    I want to see a realy big fight and in my opinion the next big fight is Sasuke vs Deidera

  • ingelund said:

    Nice Naruto :) when u think of Sasuke u can do anything. This episode was great, I can’t wait for the battle with Asuma, Shikamaru, Hidan and kakuzu, I just can’t wait… It’s going to be awsome:D And then when Naruto has complete his Justsu:D Shikamaru and Naruto is going to pwn The Zombiebrothers^^

  • ingelund said:

    top 10 btw^^ I hope Naruto is going to taste on the soldierpills Sakura made :P

  • Sothe said:

    NOOOOOOOOOOO!! ASUMA!!! Poor Kurenai.
    =[

  • tailedfox said:

    wow that training that naruto is hving looks very very hard in the anime than manga. poor kid is hving hard time

  • ians091 said:

    poor Yamato his faced looks like he has a bronchitis.lol!!it really scared me out!!!wahahha…huuuuuhhh….At last Naruto made it!!!grats to him…for kakashi and yamato i thnk that is just an easy training for them maybe there will be more hard trainingss…that will be a lot of phew>…..sweaT!!!
    y is it that Kakuzu loves money money money…wats with him??where will he gonna spend those money???going in disco’s….banging ninja chicks?!hah..that soldier pill it makes me hungry…but when i see that Naruto threw it out….it would be a nightmare for me when i ate it..hahh…but i don’t think so those pills has no importance…maybe it will make naruto finish easily with the use of that pill…we don’t know.?
    that tajuu kagebunshin makes naruto weak after he use it….wonder why?!?maybe if he will train more therefore sooner or later he can handle it….Danger is coming at Konoha!!!that two brothers might have enough strength to charge at konoha!!!and a danger will happen to ASuma..poor asuma…

    how many days Naruto trained?!heeeesss very hungry!!!give him ahhh..let me think….eat all you can….ramen!!!!lol….anyways…nice episode huh!!!kinda like it!!

    -ians is pushing the red button!!!!babababahyeee!!

  • fan boy said:

    man there were no fights in this episode i wish they hurry up to show naruto “s new justu

  • Naruhina1 said:

    oh man….Naruhina is under attack……this episode is soo Pro narusaku.. it didnt even look that Narusakuish in the manga..i bet the anime producers are narusaku fans… :(

  • Iruka said:

    This was a good episode. It pretty much followed the manga. Naruto’s reaction to the soilder pills was hilarious. I thought his face shood of turned green after he ate one. The ending of it was so Naruto. He chopps the water and colapses from hunger. Can’t wait to see the shurican rasengan. Man I can’t wait till see kakashi trick Yamato into buying ramen for Naruto. that was priceless in the manga

  • Naruhina1 said:

    anyway..its good that it is looking more like narusaku is going to happen. because when it doesnt, the bigger my smile will be.. :D <<yea..like that

  • NarutoElitNin said:

    so the second step is done…now for the new tehnicue …. i dont know what will happen next becouse i didnt want to read the chapters watching the anime is more fun hehe

  • Ultimatehokage said:

    You´re right, anime much more fun.
    The fight that I want to see at most, is Sasuke vs Itachi but is so far away:-(

  • the chosen one said:

    im sure suna no ken probably wont look on this again but two things befor i say goodnight 1 i think in like five episodes kakuzu will totally agree naruto is bad ass
    2 the believe it thing was more a joke but i think your ill will towards it is a bit odd its just something stupid he used to say on the show so settle down lol
    ps believe ittttttt!!!

  • fan boy said:

    i wonder how long it will take until the fight with sasuke and his brother begins

  • 9tail337 said:

    Yeah, finally it’s getting to the good part but seriously did they have to put another filler with Azuma in there after a whole year full of the regular Naruto anime fillers already?! I dunno about all you guyz but I love that phrase in the English Naruto version it’s pretty catchy “BELIEVE IT!!!”

  • Futodoki said:

    No 9tail337, it is not catchy…I don’t believe it.
    -….-”

    Yay for this ep! Iruka is realizing his love for Naruto and now their going to have hot shinobi smex~! \(^.^)/

  • DeOn said:

    Naruto almost reach the impossible really!?

    imagine improving soo. fast.. owow… i wish I’m that kind OF kid!!….. he takes thing to easy for him beacuse of his determination and hard Work!! see he even colapesed… poor Naruto…

    but what so ever ..i’m totally Excited of the next EP!!>>

    but For the tow akatsuki… it will be long For them To get KIlled!! really hate those two!!

    especially HIdan!!….
    dam i hate him!

  • pcgnome said:

    DeOn – in the manga he improves way more quickly and with less training. The anime just decided that a filler arc was necessary.

    That said, t was a good episode. I can’t wait to see the Shuriken Rasengan!!!!!! It will be awesome.
