It was annoying that Gaara was doing absolutely NOTHING the entire fight. I mean, it's very likely that the chains just paralysed him, but seeing somebody struggling with the chains for the entirety of the episode is not really what I would name an "interesting battle". Also, I liked how Team Matsuri just casually walked off like there wasn't even a fight. Just when they were out of proximity, they started running again...

Next episode, Neji will do the stuff that made him jonin. I was hoping to see more from the two Takigakure guys though. Those are jonin already, it would've been awesome if they ambushed the bald guy. But I guess that won't happen.

Edit: One thing that made me wonder just now...how come that the full Akatsuki (sans Orochimaru) needed three days to extract Shukaku, but a random musician can do it in, let's say an hour if not being interrupted? Not only that, but he could also pull out another tailed beast at the same time? Either it's complete crap, or that musician could solo the entire Akatsuki. Now that would be amazing!
