About the Author
Author/artist Masashi Kishimoto was born in 1974 in rural Okayama Prefecture, Japan. After spending time in art college, he won the Hop Step Award for new manga artists with his manga Karakuri ("Mechanism"). Kishimoto decided to base his next story on traditional Japanese culture. His first version of Naruto, drawn in 1997, was a one-shot story about fox spirits; his final version, which debuted in Weekly Shonen Jump in 1999, quickly became the most popular ninja manga in Japan.

Customer Reviews

Jaraiya's Decision (Spoilers)
In this volume Jaraiya faces off against Konan and Pain. He reflects on when he trained Nagato, Konan, and Yahiko. Jaraiya shows off a new technique sage mode and we meet two new characters, Ma and Pa toad. Also a prophecy was given to Jaraiya from the Great Lord Elder about Naruto and that he would grow up to be a pervert. Jaraiya also discovers more about the rinnegan and the secret behind Pains power. Besides the editing(which I hate) this is another great volume.

It's a good one!
The title pretty much says it all... If you're up to this point in the manga then buy edition 41, 'tis a great read.
