Ma che bella la storia di Tsunade。 E che bel volume che Kishimoto-sensei ha tirato fuori dal cappello。 Il confronto Tsunade/Orochimaru vale davvero la pena。 E Naruto è un po' in secondo piano。Come al solito， ci sono le vignette flashback che son troppo scure e si capisce poco di quello che c'è disegnato sopra。 Sono i momenti in cui mi dispiace di avere la versione a colori e non quella originale。。。 Ma questo passa il mercato。 Ma che bella la storia di Tsunade。 E che bel volume che Kishimoto-sensei ha tirato fuori dal cappello。 Il confronto Tsunade/Orochimaru vale davvero la pena。 E Naruto è un po' in secondo piano。Come al solito， ci sono le vignette flashback che son troppo scure e si capisce poco di quello che c'è disegnato sopra。 Sono i momenti in cui mi dispiace di avere la versione a colori e non quella originale。。。 Ma questo passa il mercato。 。。。more

Por fin Jiraya y Naruto encuentran a Tsunade， aunque las cosas no van a salir como ellos tenían pensado！！Me encanta que en este arco se encuentren los 3 Grandes Ninjas （Tsunade， Jiraya y Orochimaru）。 Naruto sigue entrenando para dominar el Rasengas haciendose cada vez más fuerte。 En este tomo conocemos un poco mejor el pasado de Tsunade。Pese a que ya conozca la historia， me estoy emocionando mucho y tengo muchas ganas de seguir！！ De verdad， este año estoy volviendo a la infancia con Naruto xD

I liked this volume。 Naruto grew as a character which I always like。 I wonder what will happen after that cliffhanger。

Maybe 3。5？I love everything about Tsunade's introduction and her past （I mean， yeah， it's tragic， but honestly at this point that's a given）， but idk this just didn't feel 4 stars worthy Maybe 3。5？I love everything about Tsunade's introduction and her past （I mean， yeah， it's tragic， but honestly at this point that's a given）， but idk this just didn't feel 4 stars worthy 。。。more

As the title suggests， in volume 18 we get to know Tsunade's story in detail as the story revolves predominantly around her and her past。 It is emotional and deep， a trademark of Kishimoto's genius。 I've also noted that he is getting better and better at leaving the end in a potent cliffhanger and I am curious and will keep track of his future progress。（view spoiler）[Orochimaru and Jiraya equally pursue her - Jiraya so she can become the next Hokage and Orochimaru so he can heal his arms and con As the title suggests， in volume 18 we get to know Tsunade's story in detail as the story revolves predominantly around her and her past。 It is emotional and deep， a trademark of Kishimoto's genius。 I've also noted that he is getting better and better at leaving the end in a potent cliffhanger and I am curious and will keep track of his future progress。（view spoiler）[Orochimaru and Jiraya equally pursue her - Jiraya so she can become the next Hokage and Orochimaru so he can heal his arms and continue operation Destroy Konoha。 She is left torn between the two options。Meanwhile Naruto clears the second state of Rasengan and Tsunade wagers her necklace against him completing the technique in one week - the due date coincides with her upcoming decision。The plot is tricky and full of details。 The most notable thing is that she is the First Hokage's granddaughter and the necklace was a present from him。 Towards the end she starts losing hope， drugs Jiraya， knocks out her partner Shizune and with Naruto passed out from training she sneaks to a meeting with Orochimaru to change the deal: healing his arms in exchange for him abandoning his mission。 He accepts， but of course cannot be trusted。 （hide spoiler）] 。。。more

Naruto and Jiraiya are on their way to meet Tsunade， but before them Orochimaru and Kabuto meet her and give her a choice， which is super tempting and will she accept it？ Also Naruto and her have a bet if he masters Rasengan she will give him that necklace and agree to his condition， and Naruto does train for a week to master it？ What will happen next？ Also we learn the backstory of Tsunade and its super emotional and explains why she is feeling conflicted！ This volume was good， had some emotion Naruto and Jiraiya are on their way to meet Tsunade， but before them Orochimaru and Kabuto meet her and give her a choice， which is super tempting and will she accept it？ Also Naruto and her have a bet if he masters Rasengan she will give him that necklace and agree to his condition， and Naruto does train for a week to master it？ What will happen next？ Also we learn the backstory of Tsunade and its super emotional and explains why she is feeling conflicted！ This volume was good， had some emotional moments and continued Naruto's development！ Amazing read！ 。。。more

This is a review of the entire series。Once upon a time， the spirit of an evil Nine Tailed Fox wreaked havoc on Konohagakure; the Village Hidden in the Leaves， killing hundreds of honorable ninja in the skirmish and leaving many children without homes or parents。 The Fourth Hokage （leader of the village） unleashes a forbidden jutsu （magic spell/ninja ability） to seal the spirit of the evil fox

wreaked havoc on Konohagakure; the Village Hidden in the Leaves， killing hundreds of honorable ninja in the skirmish and leaving many children without homes or parents。 The Fourth Hokage （leader of the village） unleashes a forbidden jutsu （magic spell/ninja ability） to seal the spirit of the evil fox into the body of a newborn baby named Naruto at the cost of his own life。 He did this in the hopes that the boy could one day learn to master the power of the demonic spirit and use it to protect the village and become a great hero of the people。Unknown to the citizens of the Leaf， the Nine Tailed Fox was being controlled by an even more powerful adversary， a legendary rogue ninja that plans to wage war against the entire world from the shadows。 The identity of the mysterious ninja that attacked the Leaf Village using the Nine Tails died with the Fourth Hokage， and he used what remained of his life to gift Naruto with the power of one day being able to stop this evil ninja and a clan of outlawed S-rank criminals called the Akatsuki from committing mass genocide against the many hidden villages and clans of the world。Because of the evil spirit sealed inside him， Naruto grew up hated by the other children of the village because they believe him and the Nine Tails to be one and the same。 They believe he’s a ticking time bomb waiting to go off， waiting for the perfect moment to kill them all just like the Nine Tails killed their parents and families。 Shunned， dehumanized and treated like dirt， Naruto vows to become the greatest hokage the world has ever seen so that he can receive the love and acknowledgement he never got as a child。On top of the Nine Tails power and the will to never quit， Naruto also possesses the uncanny ability to turn everyone he meets into a potential comrade。 He brings out the best in his peers and tries his hardest to make his enemies see the errors of their ways。 He disobeys the rules and ignores cultural traditions to try and make changes to the world and break the eternal cycle of war and hatred through his own methods。 His determination is infectious to friend and foe alike。 He earns himself the respect he deserves by overcoming one impossible obstacle at a time。Naruto encounters many fascinating and terrifying ninja over the course of his journey to become hokage。 Among them are Sasuke Uchiha， Naruto’s best friend and rival who is driven by the vengeful lust to murder his elder brother after he wiped out their own clan in cold blood。 Sasuke warms up to Naruto， but his hatred and trauma are dangerous forces that threaten to break his moral code as a ninja and destroy his reputation among his peers。Kakashi Hatake is a notorious copycat ninja that survived one of the most brutal and devastating wars in history as well as the Nine Tails attack on the Leaf Village。 He becomes Naruto and Sasuke’s mentor and teaches them a great number of valuable lessons about surviving in the dangerous world of rogue ninja， bloodthirsty assassins and clans ruled by corruption。Jiraiya is a perverted yet wise sage who taught the Fourth Hokage everything he knew and he’s regarded as a god among shinobi that’s famous for his heroic actions in the second great ninja war。 He takes an interest in Naruto and raises him as a father figure to carry on the legacy of the Fourth Hokage to prepare him for the many dangerous people that want to use his power for their own nefarious purposes。The Akatsuki is one such group of wicked ninja。 Among them are Sasuke’s brother Itachi who murdered his clan and possesses many dangerous techniques involving illusions， psychological torture and elemental manipulation。 Sasori who controls poisonous puppets with magical threads， Orochimaru who mastered the forbidden arts of reanimation and quasi-immortality， Deidara who fights from afar using detonating clay and many other deadly foes。The entire series chronicles Naruto and his fellow ninja comrades growing through countless trials and tragedies。 There are hundreds of unique jutsus， clans， and techniques which lead to some very intense， creative and strategic battles between skilled ninja with diverse abilities that don’t always match up evenly。 There are clan based abilities such as the Aburame clan’s ability to control insects， the Yamanaka clan’s ability to jump into other people’s minds and control their bodies and the Inuzuka clan’s ability to bond with wolves that learn to mimic their master’s battle skills。 Then there’s ocular genetic abilities such as the sharingan which allows the user to create psychological illusions， copy their enemy’s abilities and manipulate elemental energy。 The byakugan allows the user to read their enemies vital points and detect their spiritual energy from faraway。 The rinnegan grants control over space and gravity and so on。On top of having countless unique abilities， nearly every character has a tragic backstory that makes them sympathetic and relatable， even the nastiest of the villains have well-explored reasons for following the paths they do and becoming the way they are。 One of my favorite aspects of the series is how well it explores the physical， emotional and psychological effects war can have on society and culture as well as the survivors and future generations that are forced to live in them。 How it breeds racism and cultural disputes， how it inspires hatred in orphaned children and war veterans robbed of their homes toward foreign nations， as well as how this eventually leads to further death， war， poverty and destruction。 Learning to forgive the ones you hate to prevent further conflict and damaging the world for future generations even further is a major theme throughout the story。Being a massive 700 chapter series， it’s not too surprising that there’s some plot holes and consistency issues。 A rule might be stated regarding the requirements and usage of a certain jutsu or ability only for that rule to be repeatedly broken 400 chapters later。 Sometimes the characters and rules contradict themselves， sometimes the chronology of certain events and historical facts don’t match up perfectly， the lore and general backstory go through several retcons that change the philosophy and power scaling of the characters and the scope of world-building; the final arc especially drags on and breaks a lot of the logic and rules that the story spent the whole series setting up， etc。。。Naruto’s far from perfect， but I remember it very fondly for being one of the first series that introduced me to things like manga and Japanese entertainment in general。 It was one of those childhood classics like Dragon Ball， Inuyasha， Yu Yu Hakusho and Rurouni Kenshin。 The series grew up with me and I can’t help but feel grateful to it for introducing me to hundreds of other franchises that I’m still a huge fan of to this day and I continue to find many new ones on the regular。 Naruto's journey from a clownish， disrespected outcast into a talented， well-loved and admired hero is a memorable one。 。。。more

The world， lore， and cosmology of Naruto continues to build in entertaining and fascinating ways throughout the series， and that's what kept me reading through all 70-ought volumes， but the real genius is in the character development and the perfect pacing of that development。 Every character gets to have an arc of sorts and end their stories in places different from where they started。Also， of course， the fighting and action scenes are pretty good。 The world， lore， and cosmology of Naruto continues to build in entertaining and fascinating ways throughout the series， and that's what kept me reading through all 70-ought volumes， but the real genius is in the character development and the perfect pacing of that development。 Every character gets to have an arc of sorts and end their stories in places different from where they started。Also， of course， the fighting and action scenes are pretty good。 。。。more

Tsunade-sama no sho-kai。 I still need convincing to start liking her， and I feel like she's about to fuck up then realize her mistake， but I'm worried it will be too late， and I'm already annoyed at her， even though I'm excited for her to become Sakura-chan's teacher。 So many grumbly feelings， and I kinda just miss when the story follows the youngsters， because I think they are all way more likable than the trio of prodigal seniors who are all afraid of being old。 I mean， besides Jiraiya who has Tsunade-sama no sho-kai。 I still need convincing to start liking her， and I feel like she's about to fuck up then realize her mistake， but I'm worried it will be too late， and I'm already annoyed at her， even though I'm excited for her to become Sakura-chan's teacher。 So many grumbly feelings， and I kinda just miss when the story follows the youngsters， because I think they are all way more likable than the trio of prodigal seniors who are all afraid of being old。 I mean， besides Jiraiya who has other personality issues。Youtube | Instagram | StoryGraph 。。。more

The scene between Tsunade and Naruto （when Tsunade beat Naruto using only 1 finger） is very legendary！！ And Kishimoto-san magnificently drive the reader right through Tsunade’s dilemma。。。One of my favorite！
