Talking Naruto

After the Danzo battle, Lawson and Benel get a few episodes discussing Sakura and Kakashi. We bury Sakura's booking in this arc, as it defeats the purpose of all the character development she's received in the earlier episodes of Shippuden! Plus bits. Lots and lots of bits. 

Here's a set of flashback episode from both Naruto  and Sakura detailing their relationship with Sasuke. Also, Benel makes Lawson do an improv about porridge. This is not a very good episode.  

The finale of the Danzo/Sasuke fight with Danzo being caught in an explosion at the Sharingan factory, Benel and Lawson opine about how Sussano'o is bullshit, and Karin makes an O-face! 

A great set of episodes following the fallout of the Kage summit with Sakura revealings her feelings to Naruto (or does she), a new twist in the Killer Bee arc and Sasuke faces down Danzo, all while the boys are joined by a special guest, Kage-level patron Dex! Want to be featured on an episode?

We're concluding the Five Kage Summit with the end of Sasuke vs the Raikage and friends. Sasuke produces Sussano'o, the Raikage is the definition of on-sight, the Five Kage deal with Madara-Tobi's bullshit, and we put the Mizukage over! 

We're continuing the Five Hokage Summit arc with an unstoppable set of episode featuring Sasuke vs the Raikage of the Hidden cloud. Things get heated when Danzo is caught cheating, Gaara's bodies the Kage of the Hidden Stone, and the Boyz have thoughts about Sasuke. 

The boys come in with some hot takes about these episodes which begin the Five Kage Summit. We break down the what and wherefore's and we put over Sai for being the voice of reason in Konoha

Skip to 17:00 to avoid tangents. This week, Lawson and Benel come out of the fillers into the first two episodes of the Five Kage summit arc and there's a lot of feelings going around involving Sasuke, as well as the narrative arc of his character and Naruto as a whole! Riveting stuff. 

Lawson and Benel finish off the fillers in their usual fashion, with tangents and rants about politics! ACAB all day! Also Sasuke and Naruto are stuck together. 

Lawson and Benel continue their parade through seemingly endless fillers with two episodes, one starting Neji and one where Naruto helps out a troubled ghosts! Spooks and scares awaits on this week's episode! Have you been to our Teepublic store yet? Because we've got a new tee created by our very own Shawn Tragedy (@ShawnTragedy on twitter).

Trucking along with more fillers, Lawson and Benel struggling through these episodes the best they can. We meet Hosuke, the oldest genin, and take a trip to find Kakashi's first love! It's as riveting as it's sounds! 

We finish up the Tales of a Gutsy Ninja arc and uncover Sasuke's love of cats in this two-some filler eps!  Also, we agree that Cats: The Musical sucks. 

The boys break down two episodes in the aftermath of the Ostrich Ninja incident, episodes about Rock Lee and Jiraiya! These episodes definitely happened. 

Guys, the first filler is a Ten-Ten episode, so you know this is going to be  doozy. The boyz talk about TenTen being a pretty solid leader and we go all the way off the rails when faced with the glory of Condor, the Ninja Ostrich! Behold the fall of man on this episode of Talking Naruto! 

We're back with another set of "Remember when Naruto?" filler episodes. Highlights include Naruto helping a guy commit vengeance, Gaara about to get got, and Konoha having Covid. Also, Benel and Lawson talk about murdering rich people and stealing their shit. Smell the class warfare in this episode of Talking Naurto!

We unload with two flashback based fillers, one from Kakashi's point of view and one surrounding the events post-Zabusa arc in the Village Hidden in the Mist.  They are very boring, but this episode isn't! 

TW: Strong content from approx 24:00 till 26:30. Benel and Lawdawg were up late recording this loopy set of filler outlining Iraka's first meeting with Naruto! We go on tangents for days and we learn the true meeting of "Konoha sucks". 

We took a week off, but Lawson didn't want to leave the podcast fam hanging so he recorded this look back at the podcast history and gives props to everyone who has supported us so far. Thank you guys so much for all your support. 

It's the end of the Pain arc and the boyz don't fuck around when it comes to finishing these four episodes and they are dozy! The best Talk-No-Jutsu dropped and we try to keep tangents to a minimum! ***Hey! Didya' here? Talking Naruto podcasts has a new design at our Teepublic store (https://www.teepublic.com/stores/the-store-hidden-in-the-leaves?ref_id=17389) available now! 

Benel and Lawson tackle some unnecessary fill bullshit the best way they know how: tangent and bits. This dumb set of episodes have the kids going through an obstacle course or something. We weren't really paying attention. Enjoy!
