Naruto Shippuden Episode 402

With this installment, we move away from Lee and company for a bit as the focus is on Kiba and his team as they make their way through this part of the Chunin Exam. There’s some simple stuff early on with it as we get them wondering what Naruto is up to at this point and what his training is like, but it doesn’t take long for things to get serious as they get ambushed by a group from the Hidden Grass village who have been watching them and are ready to make their move. There’s some decent bits of action here as it gets underway in the first half, showing us the gang we know largely performing as you’d expect at this stage, while also introducing the wacky looking opponents that they have to deal with, from the very heavy set guy to the yanki type as well as the Wolverine type that props up his glasses with his claws poorly, but without gutting out his own eyes.
