Filler or Canon?
No — Naruto Shippuden Episode 66 is filler. It's anime-original and has no impact on the main story. Safe to skip if you only want canon. A reanimation-themed filler beat — revived threats raising the Three-Tails arc's stakes; effective but sealed off from canon.NEXT CANON → SHP EP 72 · Someone Who'll Understand

Episode Summary
Revived souls deepens the arc's stakes, likely through resurrected or reanimated threats raising the Three-Tails confrontation's danger. The episode escalates toward the sealing climax, the team facing foes pulled back from death within the anime-original frame — a device the series uses heavily in canon, here deployed in filler. Sealed inside its arc, it keeps the post-Sasuke cast tested while the manga advances offscreen. Competent and atmospheric, the revived threats are real within the bubble and irrelevant beyond it.
