SKIP
Filler or Canon?
No — Naruto Shippuden Episode 109 is filler. It's anime-original and has no impact on the main story. Safe to skip if you only want canon. A curse-mark threat filler beat — capable standalone action nearing the arc's climax; non-canon and self-contained.NEXT CANON → SHP EP 113 · The Bet: Moral Many Atsui Showdown

Episode Summary
Counterattack of the curse mark escalates the filler arc as Orochimaru's curse-mark power surfaces in the storyline's climax. The episode trades on a curse-seal threat the anime stages within the sealed frame, the team countering an enemy empowered by Orochimaru's mark. Competent action filler, it pushes the standalone plot toward resolution, every consequence held inside the arc. The Three-Tails operation and the curse-mark threat braid toward climax, the danger real in its bubble and irrelevant to the canon timeline.
