Naruto Shippuden Episode 172 - "Meeting"

Naruto’s encounter with his father in his mind is a very fascinating scene to start with. Questions and some blurred facts about the sealed Nine- Tails were brought to light. Naruto and Nagato facing each other in the same space for me was a plus. We learned more about ninjas and their rather peculiar behavior for that matter. Nagato opening up his side of the story to Naruto is something I cannot easily get off my mind. Such an encounter was indeed of great help for the two especially for Naruto. After hearing Nagato’s painful experience, Naruto now has a better opinion on things and is now capable of sound judgment.

Nagato suffered a spiteful childhood. Witnessing in his very own eyes the tragic death of his family is too much for a child to carry at such a young age. Pain is inevitable. Seeing his parents killed is something too much for him to handle. Added by the fact that the ninjas apologized afterwards after realizing they killed some innocent lives. It was indeed a long journey for Nagato to cope up and make his way out of the tragic events he once experienced.

Nagato’s life is something that follows the traditional plot. Nagato as a war orphan meets some friends along the way. Friends who like him experienced a handful of hardships as well. Just like Konan and Yahiko. Yahiko as a boy wants to uplift himself from the terrible situation he’s in. Yahiko once had such an optimistic spirit. Sadly, after their encounter with Jiraiya’s team, things turned worst.

I just find this plot too common. It would have been nice if they added some twist in it. Still, this episode’s not bad.
