So much goodness in this episode!
The Kurenai-Asuma teasing...Asuma=son of the 3rd... even Sai's bringing a snack for Naruto...loved it all.
It is interesting that Asuma's relationship to the 3rd wasn't brought up during his funeral, or when Konohamaru was having such a hard time with grieving the 3rd and accepting the new hokage.

Yes, I was shocked at that revelation... it seemed like since we already knew his last name, we should also have known if there was a relationship... I guess it was hiding in plain sight as it were...
Best episode in a couple months IMO. Now we'll see how they handle this next mini-story-line... I'm wondering if the missions that team Kakashi and team Asuma are going on are in fact the same mission... or at least related. My thought is that Shikamaru et al may be going off to observe Naruto's team or something like that.

I always suspected that he was the 3rd's son (because of the name). However, I thought there was the possibility of him being Konohamaru's father instead of uncle. This clarified that... but then you never really did see them together before.
I liked it too, although we'll see. My concern after the let down that was the end of the last story arc was that there wouldn't be anything to compel me to watch on a weekly basis. They have somehow managed to bring up something interested (with the wind training and all).
