User blog comment:Omega natsu2/Chapter 373: Let Live Or Let Die, Predictions./@comment-7418318-20140227145252

The new Naruto anime episode is out... and I wasn't too fond of it.

In the past it was predicted as if Sarutobi was unable to emotionally get himself to kill Orochimaru and now it suddenly looks like he was incapacitated by him? Why change the incident now and make Sarutobi seem powerless rather than too attached to his pupil?

The other big problem is the curse mark. According to Orochimaru himself, 9 out of 10 people who got it died and yet there were far less than nine times the number of survivors of "grave-trees" in their home. Not to mention that it's unlikely that Orochimaru started to put the curse-seal on people three years before he had to leave Konoha, considering the incident with Anko.

The entire clan didn't make sense. "When we turn into smoke, we sometimes get dirspersed by wind or loss of controll".... I have a pretty simple solution to that: Don't turn yourself into smoke. Just because you can doesn't mean you have to, right?

And Kakashi, who in the previous episodes was established to be almost emotionless at that point was so scared that he froze? Okay I could understand that if it had happened when Orochimaru was fresh for the battle, but why do that when Oro was so badly hurt he could barely move anymore?
