Which episode shows Naruto competing in a race to a shrine on the top of a hill?


I only remember that Naruto was competing in some kind of competition (it's
not an eating contest). From the start line, they have to get to a shrine,
where some kind of prize has been placed, on the very top of a hill.

I _think_ it was from _Naruto_.




You're referring to Idate's Arc in Land of Tea Escort Mission from Episode
102-106.

As per Wikia: Source:
<http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Land_of_Tea_Escort_Mission>

> The Land of Tea Escort Mission spans from episodes 102 to 106 of the Naruto
> anime. Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura go to the Land of Tea to help Idate Morino
> win a race. This arc is preceded by the Search for Tsunade and is followed
> by the Sasuke Recovery Mission.

This arc is Anime only (i.e. Filler). While filler arcs are usually not upto
par with the main storyline, this was a watchable arc as it showcased the
Naruto/Sasuke dynamic really well while setting up the next and best arc of
the series.
