In this episode there is no time difference. The intro as well as the credits are not taken into consideration.
On September 10th in 2005 the smash hit anime "Naruto" started airing in the "Toonami" program of Cartoon Network. However, for a lower rating some edits were necessary. Yet, the level of editing is really moderate (especially compared to the german which contains almost not a single drop of blood and is also otherwise HEAVILY censored). Usually it's just that some blood has been removed or reduced, the fights itself are usually completely intact. Besides that the US version had some scenes redrawn. Usually faces of characters or other minor "mistakes" were corrected, to look more like the manga. Of course the US version had it's own opener and ending, which was resented by many fans because it wasn't really a song, sounding as good as the original songs used for opening and ending credits. Besides that all the original names were kept, but some are spelled or pronounced not correctly. Yet, the US version is very good - for a censored version. For comparisons goes: Left: japanese version Right: US version Concerning this episode: This is definitely the most censored US episode, but roughly censored is not the right expression. In most cases the edits were only some blood changes and a lot of blood was still available in this episode. Even the editing of both Kunais to the end does not worry. Generally speaking, the censoring measures are hardly recognizable for those who do not know the uncensored original. At the end two edits are made a bit sloppy and recognizable. It is strange that only few blood-drops have been retouched when the faces and the rest of the bodies are covered in blood. Scenes containing blood spitting are not new to this series but the sense of editing those seems very pointless considering the mass of still existing blood. In this episode the intro as well as the credits have not been taken into consideration, therefore there is no time difference. 0:03:53
Giichi’s room has been edited. The following take shows the background edited as well. No time difference
0:04:43 The scene in which Inari runs over the plank has been drawn new. No time difference

0:19:46 Again a longer Kunai and blood reduction. No time difference
0:20:13 Retouched Kunai. No time difference
0:20:20 Instead removing the Kunai the whole arm was only blurred and blood was already retouched in Zabuza’s face. In the last take the editors were pretty sloppy. One can clearly see the repainted part and a part of Zabuza’s headband has been covered with paint as well. No time difference
0:20:29 Again the Kunai in Zabuza’s arm were retouched. The following close-ups in which Kakashi hacks both Kunai in the other arm were avoided. This scene was made slower in the US version and the end was simply cut. When Zabuza pushes away Kakashi, blood from the armwound has been retouched as well as the Kunai’s itself. No time difference
