All-round stellar episode. Finally we get some kind of explanation of why Sasuke, Orochimaru and Kabuto can just go on with their lives after all the shit they've done (especially Kabuto's case annoyed me a lot). The bit world-building was a fresh sight as well, and Karin's screentime wasn't as long as I feared, which is always good in my book.

What really stood out to me though was Orochimaru's baffled look and the 3 seconds it took him to grasp that Chino's in fact older than Sasuke. I think it's the first time we see him completely flabbergasted, and I loved it.
