This two part episode was very good. The first episode started out strong with the fight between Sasori and Kankuro, which they held together very every well. The fight was awesome, and we got to see the fight we were finally looking for. Very good and I give the first episode a 9.1. Now, the second epsiode was a bit slower, but was pretty good. It finsihed off th Kankuroand Sasori fight, which finished with the cut of Sasoris mask. I completely forgot about taht, and thot it was awesome wen we first saw his face. Naruto is now heading on the saving of Gaara, finish episode #9 with a 8.7.
