Uncut Volume 5's regular edition starts off mostly as a training arc, with everyone recovering or suffering from the effects of the preliminaries and some training for their next opponent. Much of this focuses on Naruto and a new very important character, Jiraiya. This perverted old man is actually a link to Naruto's past, and once convinced begins to train Naruto to control the Nine-Tail's chakra within him. There is some more character development, especially for the mysterious Gaara, who could definitely use it, and Neji.
The rest of the box set focuses on the final round matches between Naruto and Neji, and Temari and Shikamaru. One is a pound it out battle between opposing skill sets and ideals and one battle is chess match between two tactitians. Both of these serve to be quite entertaining, but through out the matches you still anxiously wait for the battle between Gaara and Sasuke. Which unfortunately, you'll have to wait until Volume 6 (Naruto Uncut Boxed Set, Volume 6) for.
This volume is the usual high quality release of the series, with a good amount of comedy, character development and action. It comes with the usual set of 3 discs and the storyboard booklet for a very nice price. I definitely recommend it.
with Volume 5 of the popular anime series Naruto.
It includes 13 episodes mostly centering on Naruto and other students getting prepped for the finals of the Chunin Exam that they are fighting in. Rock Lee is in the hospital and struggling with not being able to compete in the tourney. Gaara is well...still a psychotic, mind warped loony that enjoys killing more now than ever. Naruto is well himself but he's trying to strength himself before his fight with the blockheaded and full of himself Neiji. Who believes that you can't change your own fate.
It ends with the upcoming match between Sasake (whom finally returns from training just in time to not be disqualified from his match) with Gaara. It will be an excellent setup and opener for Volume 6 that looks to continue to ramp up the action for our hereos and the people of the Hidden Leaf village as a major plot is about unfold right in their faces.
Great volume and price for a show that i continue to enjoy despite all else.
