These episodes had the Twelve Guardian Ninja arc (episodes 54-71). I've removed these and made the episode look like Naruto trained for only 2 days instead of weeks, during the side mission in the Twelve Guardian Ninja arc. It creates a faster pace and a sense of urgency.
I've edited in the parts from the side story of capturing the Three-tails ( Yūkimaru). These are the parts with Deidara and Toby. This side mission comes in the anime after the whole Akatsuki Suppression mission arc; it's called the Three-Tails' appearance (episodes 89-112).
The next two edits will cover the rest of the Akatsuki Suppression mission arc. I always try to be tightly knit to the manga and make the cut transitions as smooth as possible. From this point on the video quality also changes from 480p TV NTSC to 720p. I hope you'll like it. Enjoy!
