* AbsenteeActor: Hilariously subverted at the end of the arc with Tenten, who was the only member of the Konoha 11 not to go on the mission with no (at first) explanation for her absence. She's none too happy about not being included but Lee mentions she was out on a different assignment at the time.

* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: Matsuri appeared canonically at the end of the Rescue the Kazekage arc as a mere fangirl of Gaara's along with her equally forgettable friend Sari. Here she's given a background and an explanation for how her crush on Gaara came about, plus a somewhat implied crush on Naruto. Doubles as an AdaptationExpansion.

* BadassLongcoat: The Celestials all wear longcoats and manage to invade Sunagakure and escaping it with a hostage.
* TheBusCameBack: Not counting Gaara and Kankurō's appearance in ''Legend of the Stone of Gelel'', this marks the return of the Sand Siblings after being absent since the opening of the Mizuki Strikes Back filler. Jiraiya also returns at the end after not being seen in person since "Please, Mr. Postman!", though he had a couple guest cameos in "Laughing Shino" and "The Top Five Greatest Ninja Battles".
* {{Filler}}: While this is a clear filler arc, the episodes does provide a reason for Ino (who was basically useless during combat situations) to later learn medical ninjutsu, which wasn’t given in the Manga. It also led to the final scenes from the manga that weren’t yet adapted into the earlier fillers such as the Land of Rice Fields and Mizuki Strikes Back storylines, with Jiraiya finally returning to take Naruto for some training.

* ArmorOfInvincibility: The “Invincible Armor” of the Celestial group is intended to be this, as it lets the wearer [[EnergyAbsorption absorb the chakra]] of an attacker.
* ArmsDealer: Takumi village is this to the Shinobi countries, too bad they didn’t see fit to help them when things went south. This is the reason for the Celestials to try and attack them.
* AwesomenessByAnalysis: Seimei figures out what has happened prior to his resurrection (and what the overall plan was) by simply looking at an imprisoned Gaara.

* MakesUsEven: Naruto and Shikamaru’s main motivator for helping Suna is to repay the aid given during the Sasuke Retrieval Mission (though it failed, the Sand Siblings did save the retrieval teams’ lives).
