May I ask what is your intention when you put **Naruto: Shippūden episode 68** in your answer?

<p>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.</p>

<p><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/Kfli6.png" alt="Kyuubi released in Konoha"></p>

<p>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?</p>

I doubt Masashi Kishimoto himself can tell you that. +1 though for a very interesting question :D

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 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
