This episode talks about how becoming one with your shadow, the parts of ourselves that are rejected, is key to having balance. Our shadow self can teach us a lot about ourselves, including how to gain more patience and strength. This gives way to sensuality, a commonly repressed aspect of Self that is found in the shadow, usually associated with feelings of shame and guilt. The spiritual nature of Naruto Shippuden is highlighted, and I give an analogy about a garden to give clarity to how important integrating the shadow is.
