Naruto Naruto Episode 92

*Possible Spoilers Inside*

Ok, so I've been "lurking" around these boards for a while now, and I was watching episode 92 of Naruto when something caught my eye.

This is the point where Tsunade is about to tell Orochimaru her decision about his offer to revive her brother and lover. Naruto, Shizune, and Jiraiya and trying to get to her as fast as she can. Now, I know Naruto sometimes jumps from tree to tree weird because of the Nine-Tails, but this...



The text is all that I've been able to say about that. So what are your thoughts?

 

I think it can only be explained by Naruto flipping. My guess he is burning off some energy or he messed up on a jump.

 

The thing is, he's not spinning at all. Not quickly nor slowly. He doesn't lean anymore forward or backward during this and he does it for almost 15 seconds.

If you want to see it for yourself, here's the youtube link, and it starts at exactly 8:00.

 

Or perhaps he is doing exactly as he looks and is jumping upside down. IE, he touches down on the underside of a branch they jump from. I'd be more concerned of how all three of them, even the pig, are capable of staying in the air for such a long time while keeping the same amount of inertia...

 

Now that I look at it, it is something the animators put in to make people wonder.
