After looking at episode 248, I managed to once again gain a nice little view of the Nine Tails attack on Konoha. Even though we get a different point of view each and every time, it still is the original Nine Tails attack... AGAIN.

Kyuubi released in Konoha

With that said, I've been wondering: How many times have we actually seen the Nine Tails attack the village, or at least fragments of this? And if possible, how much screen time has this taken in the two series so far?

    I doubt Masashi Kishimoto himself can tell you that. +1 though for a very interesting question :D – Madara's Ghost Apr 10 '14 at 20:32
  • would the Openings count? i've seen 3 different openings for just the first Season alone (before the Chunin Exams) and one of them at the start has the 3rd Hokage repeat "12 year ago, the 9-tailed fox suddenly appeared" with the 9 tails appearing before cutting top the music – Memor-X Apr 10 '14 at 22:14

    @Memor-X although I think it would make for a funny side fact. it is best to just keep it in the series itself excluding the OP/ED's – Dimitri mx Apr 10 '14 at 22:40
  • in the manga it is limited to 20 or so i think. – Sp0T Apr 11 '14 at 13:41

    @Sp0T Lies ;) I actually went around all the manga and found out it happens 37 times in there xd. – Dimitri mx Apr 18 '14 at 01:25
  • well i just guessed. but didn't think that the number of flashbacks in naruto would be this much high... ;) – Sp0T Apr 18 '14 at 04:03
  • @Sp0T Yeah it suprised me a bit aswell. But now i still wonder how many times it happend in the anime series. As it defintly happend even more in there. – Dimitri mx Apr 18 '14 at 16:02

  • Are movies fair game too? – krikara Jun 06 '14 at 03:07
  • @krikara I guess they are yes. – Dimitri mx Jun 06 '14 at 03:39
  • Lol, you're right XD. I started Naruto a few weeks ago but it's amazing how much they use that clip. – Scarletgirl Jun 08 '14 at 20:00

    May I ask what is your intention when you put **Naruto: Shippūden episode 68** in your answer? – nhahtdh Aug 11 '15 at 15:18
