FlexiejayAnime reacts to Naruto Shippuden Episodes 464-466 (early uncut access!) – the start of the Indra & Ashura backstory arc! After that insane alien lore drop blew our minds (who saw that coming?), we’re diving into the ancient origins of chakra, the Sage of Six Paths’ sons, and the cycle of hatred that shaped the ninja world.

These episodes are straight fire—beautiful animation, deep emotional beats, and lore that’s actually crucial (feels like canon, not filler). Loving how we get to live in this history longer than the manga did. Comparisons to Itachi’s and Kakashi’s flashback arcs hit hard—same level of “why didn’t we get more of this?” energy. Sad we’re so close to the end (just a couple more episodes in this arc), but damn, it’s worth it. Indra & Ashura’s story is peak—rivalry, brotherhood, destiny, all of it.

What hit you hardest so far—the Sage’s sons dynamic, the cycle reveal, or just how gorgeous this arc looks? Drop thoughts below!
