I think, technically, it was when he encased himself and Appa in an iceberg.
No, that's ecekat. Maybe in the summer...........of 2011.
Naruto's okay and the show's okay. Action scenes are way better than DBZ, that's for sure. I don't like the filler arcs, though! It's so repetitive! Actually, it's been 3 years since I've seen an episode of Naruto! Shocking! I'm in my 20's and I know I shouldn't be watching kiddie shows but damn nostalgia's keep reeling me back in! Anyway, my faves are always Gaara and Shikamaru!
