The 8th set of the hit ninja-fantasy Naruto spans the end of Season Four (2004) and the start of Season Five (2004-2005). The first episodes conclude the battle between Jiraiya, Lady Tsunada (who will become the Fifth Hokage), and Naruto on one side, and Orochimaru and his henchman Kabuto on the other. The combatants invoke numerous jutsu and summon three animals often linked to supernatural warriors in Japanese folklore: a toad, a snail or slug, and a serpent. This duel between good and evil includes some of the most dynamic fight sequences in the Naruto continuity. A subsequent visit to a hot spring turns into a farce as Jiraiya lives up to his nickname of "Pervy Sage," and Naruto mistakenly tries help a pair of would-be bill collectors. The battle against Orochimaru has left the Hidden Leaf Village short of trained ninja: Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura are sent to protect a runner in a high-stakes race in the Land of Tea without Kakashi-sensei to supervise them. Naruto proves his growing strength and maturity, not through his use of battle techniques or magical jutsu, but by demonstrating his dedication to his friends and to completing his mission. Everyone's favorite ninja-in-training remains a knucklehead, but he's a knucklehead with some admirable qualities. It all adds up to one of the most satisfying installments in this popular series. (Rated T+ Older Teen; suitable for ages 12 and older: violence, toilet humor, grotesque imagery, tobacco and alcohol use) --Charles Solomon

dont listen to the 1 star review
dont listen to the other review, the fact that the show is edited on tv only makes these boxsets more special. these boxsets are uncut, and i would definitly recommend them. but if your new to the show then you should pick up the first uncut box first.

Why wouldn't you
This series is probably my favorite of all times. I started watching it in Japan, and fell in love with this series. The character development is great, and through the entire thing shows how teamwork, determination and believing in yourself can over come all obsticales, yes even the story is great. I believe that the combination of Amazing characters, great morals, and a wonderful story line is amazing for children and adults alike.
