As the runaway hit fantasy Naruto nears its midpoint, the tone continues to darken and the stakes grow higher. The Fourth Hokage sacrifices his life to save the Hidden Leaf Village fromOrochimaru, and removes the evil ninja's ability to employ jutsu. But even those measures don't completely eliminate the danger he poses, and a new, more dire threat appears: Sasuke's rebel brother Itachi and his follower Kisame covet the power of the Nine-Tailed Fox Demon imprisoned within Naruto's body. The sinister pair is already strong enough to defeat Kakashi-sensei and Sasuke. To protect Naruto, Jiraiya takes him on a training journey to find the designated next Hokage: the formidable Lady Tsunade. But Orochimaru is also seeking Tsunade, as she alone can remove the seal that limits his powers. Naruto remains as irrepressibly rambunctious as ever, devouring ramen and addressing Jiraiya as "Pervy Sage" (a title he richly deserves). But the young ninja is being to grow up. To master a powerful new jutsu, he has to learn to concentrate his latent powers and develop some discipline. Naruto is willing to apply himself so he can grow strong enough to protect his friends and the Hidden Leaf Village, something he is destined to do. The potential is there: Believe it! The Special Edition comes with a "limited edition collectible" of another summoning creature, Gamakichi the Toad.(Rated T+ Older Teen; suitable for ages 12 and older: violence, toilet humor, risqué humor, grotesque imagery, alcohol and tobacco use) --Charles Solomon

Customer Reviews

Episodes 79-90
Note: If you're new to Naruto, go get the other boxed sets and watch them first. These are a bit better than the episodes we get on cartoon network because CN cuts a little bit of stuff. I don't find the DVDs to be any more graphic than the televised episodes.

OK, after too many months I've editing this review to correct the episode list. Regardless, they appear to cover the very end of Naruto's fight with Gara and then proceed past Tsunade powning Naruto in the street after they first meet, and up to, but not through, the battle with orochimaru.

NARUTO
I am a big fan of naruto as you can see in my other reviews. I do have all the box sets since the beginning.
They actually have 14 episodes i dunno why they say there is only 12!!!
The last box set i said it was a bit slow... well this one is still a little bit but naruto s humour wins it all.
This box set starts with the end of the big hokage s fight and end up at the beginning of tsunade, orochimaru, jiraiya and naruto s big fight. For those that has been watching naruto on Cartoon Network, its the part where naruto learns how to pop the balloons, rubber balls and more. You will also learn how exactly sasuke got to hate his brother so much and you will understand what happened by him having flashbacks of his past
Here s what s written in the back of the box
"THE DESTRUCTION OF THE VILLAGE HIDDEN IN THE LEAVES HAS BEEN AVERTED, BUT AT GREAT COST. WHILE THE VILLAGE MOURNS, A NEW MENACE ARRIVES IN THE FORM OF ITACHI UCHIHA, SASUKE S MYSTERIOUS ELDER BROTHER AND SWORN FOE, BUT ITS NOT SASUKE HE S INTERESTED IN! MEANWHILE JIRAIYA LURES NARUTO AWAY ON TRAINING JOURNEY BY PROMISING TO TEACH HIM THE FOURTH HOKAGE S OWN ORIGINAL JUTSU. WHILE NARUTO PRACTICES. JIRAIYA SEARCHES FOR THE FIFTH HOKAGE CANDIDATE TSUNADE, ONE OF THE LEGENDARY SANNIN. BUT ANOTHER OF THE SANNIN IS LOOKING FOR TSUNADE AS WELL, FOR A MUCH MORE SINISTER PURPOSE-OROCHIMARU"

This is an amazing contintuation of the saga of Naruto Uzumaki. This seventh volume is action packed, a must have for anyone who occasionally watches the show or has come down with Naruto fever. I recommend it very highly.
