 * Unnamned shinobis not being able to do anything against the brainwashed villagers
 * As others have pointed out, Shikamaru not doing anything to restrict the brainwashed villagers
 * Naruto needing Kurama's chakra just to dispel the explosion
 * Hinata nearly fainting from knocking out a villager. Being pregnant is no excuse
 * Sakura hitting Naruto for asking who they are talking about. Seriously, it has gotten old
 * Sasuke's outfit. Why can't they stick with the one he was wearing in The Last?
 * Sasuke needing to counter weakass raindrops with a fireball and having to run around to dodge the big guy's wind-enhanced blade
 * Saauke allowing two villagers to explode. The first time, he didn't know that genjutsu was involved, ok, but here still could of done something. The second time was absolutely inexcusable. He just stood there and let Amino explode even though there was plenty of time to release the genjutsu before she stabbed herself and exploded
 * Amino's dad being a huge douche to Lightning Gang, even though they provided the whole village money
 * The Lightning Gang's vendetta against the village. Even though the head of the village was being an asshole, they were still able to escape from the Midst.
 * Some of them were armed. They also didn't know they would explode, so yeah, they probably didn't think they would need to knock them out. Though they walked like zombies, but in contrast they obviously moved like ninja when one of them tried to get close. The villager even managed to cut him. Or yeah, they were just totally incompetent.
 * Yes, he could have restrained them sooner. Though they probably just took the wait and see approach. It's a pretty good way to find out info, no?
 * Don't know if he was actually using Kurama's chakra, the Rasenlaser Rasengan was still blue. He could have just acknowledged his partner, Naruto tends to do that.
 * A symptom of pregnancy is fatigue, so I have no idea how that's not an excuse. She obviously moved at a high speed to pierce the chakra point.
 * Just comic relief. I found it pretty funny. It wasn't even overdone.
 * This takes place after The Last, where we saw he was walking through a large desert. It's obvious he changed out of his poncho.
 * Most likely a show of force. Sasuke loves to be flashy.
 * True, but Sasuke probably didn't realize it fast enough to cast genjutsu on her. He also didn't know that for her to detonate, it needed a flesh wound.
 * Makes sense, the world isn't black and white. Sheltering a bunch of strangers from what amounts to special forces just because they received money? Especially the Hidden Mist's rep against traitors. Him being a selfish person didn't help either.
 * Yes, they escaped. But they obviously needed food and a place to shelter their wounded from the rain storm. The vendetta makes total sense. They obviously thought the village would repay kindness with kindness. I would get angry too, especially with the way he turned them down.

Maybe I'm just thinking too much into this. Episode and story was pretty good in my opinion.
