Naruto's Resort: The Ninja's Vacation!

A hot-springs town, a debt-collecting detour, and the arc's tension wrung out as comedy. While Tsunade settles old gambling accounts, Naruto blunders through the resort's segregated baths, mixed-up massage appointments and one alarmingly persistent monk, accumulating misunderstandings at onsen speed. Jiraiya's 'research' meets its natural predator: women who recognize him. A breather episode in the fullest sense — anime-original, consequence-free, and built entirely on the cast detoxing from three episodes of Sannin warfare.
