Kazekage Rescue (Eps 1-32): I cannot imagine anyone jumping into this series without first watching Naruto because this series starts off moving quickly after a time jump to show Naruto’s improvement. The Akatsuki immediately become the central villains, and Naruto immediately needs to step in with friends to save Gaara.Naruto Shippuden Season 1-20 Download.
This early arc works really well because it gets right into the action. It also includes Sakura’s best moment in the series as she gets to be the one who truly saves the day, fighting and defeating Sasori with the Sand’s Chiyo in an epic eight-episode struggle. Naruto feels more sidelined for the most part, dealing with his jinchuriki powers.
Reunion With Sasuke (Eps 33-53): After much anticipation and Naruto and Sakura being paired up with the mysterious Sai alongside new team leader Yamato, we finally see Naruto, Sakuro, and Sasuke in the same place again at the same time.
While the series struggles to sell Sasuke as a villain most of the series, it makes him truly creepy here as he seems indomitable. He even outshines Orochimaru. The lead up is somewhat slow, but it works in revealing the quirks of Sai and Yamato and making them memorable.
Team Kakashi and Sora (Eps 54-71): This is the only real side-mission arc in the series which allows the series to show off how the new Team Kakashi without Kakashi can function. Team Kakashi head to the Fire Temple and return with Sora who is the target of a dangerous group’s plot to destroy the Leaf Village.Ultimately, the Leaf Village all stand up and succeed in saving their village with Naruto making another friend in Sora. For all that happens, this ultimately feels like a film script stretched into a full arc with no real consequences thereafter.Naruto Shippuden.
