Naruto, Every Boy's Favorite Book!

I read this edition and it was Ok, but I buy them for students who love these books. My students are mainly from Japan, Korea and China so these books are even more culturally appropriate than in other groups. They are also learning English so having books that you enjoy reading makes it a lot easier and less work. They love these books and even ask to take them home during the weekend.

Great Stuff: For Kakashi's Story, read this volume

My family loves Naruto. We have watched every episode up to the point where Hidan and his partner (forgot his name) go after the two-tail cat demon and have most of the DVD sets. We have aleady bought and are waiting on DVD Set 7 now. But, there is no episode that tells the story of Kakashi's sharingan eye, that I know of. Volume 27 does just that. My kids have a few of the manga volumes. But, this one tells what hasn't been shown in any of the animated episodes. It is a great read if you like Naruto and want to know more about Kakashi. We would like to see this volume become an animated movie like the lost story of the waterfall village, which we already have. Also, my daughter has trouble reading and I would have problems getting her to read; but because of her interest in Narurto and her crush on Sasuke, she looks forward to reading the mangas and has been reading them religiously on her own. Thank you, Naruto.

Kakashi stands tall...

The first half of Volume 27 covers the end of Part One of Naruto. We catch up on all the ninja's that took part in the Sasuke Retrieval mission, and we find out what all our favourite ninja's plan to do over the 2 and a half years before the timeskip. Then Part One ends with a chilling image of what is to come in part two. The second half, however is what makes this book unique. It covers the story of how Kakashi got his Sharingan. A heartbreaking and yet deep insight into how Kakashi's personality was shaped to be what it is now. Any Kakashi fans will adore this story, however all Naruto fans will find the story enjoyable. 2 Thumbs up and a high reccommendation for people that have read the previous 26 books. Though I wouldn't reccommend anyone to start on Book 27 as it's the book following a huge climax.
