Talk:The Super Secret S-Rank Mission

The Mission Brief
Just to confirm, I am correct in saying that in the mission brief Yamato reads out to Naruto near the beginning of this episode, he states that the villages are "in a critical situation" and "in preperaton for the Fourth Shinobi World War, and animal squad is to be formed" (or something to that effect), yes? I thought that the object of this fake S-rank mission was to keep Naruto in hiding (to protect him from Akatsuki) and away from all knowledge of the war. So why does Yamato mention it there!? And more to the point: how does Naruto still not know anything of the war? Was this done in the manga also? Dueler65 (talk) 14:58, July 23, 2012 (UTC)
