With the final round of the Chunin Exam only a month away, Naruto receives some special training from Jiraiya, one of the three legendary Sannin, to summon and master the chakra of the Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit within him. Can Naruto turn this dangerous force into a strength and overcome the odds, against the formidable Neji?! Meanwhile, a dark plan that affects the fate of the Hidden Leaf Village begins to reveal itself as the much-anticipated match between Sasuke and Gaara draws near!
Amazon.com:
The Chunin Exams enter their final round as the popular fantasy-adventure Naruto continues. The arrival of Jiraiya, the lecherous arch-ninja known as The Sage of Toad-Mountain interrupts Naruto's intensive training regimen. Jiraiya wants to ogle the local girls, but Naruto wheedles and fusses until the Sage agrees to teach him the powerful jutsu used to summon a monster toad. His first efforts are unimpressive: All he can conjure is a tadpole. But Jiraiya's instruction enables Naruto to tap into the extraordinary spiritual power of the Nine-Tailed Fox Demon imprisoned within his body. Drawing on this energy, Naruto defeats Neiji, avenging his cruel treatment of the gentle Hinata. But more serious matters overshadow Naruto's match: Sasuke vanishes from the hospital and everyone fears Orochimaru may be involved. Or is Sasuke's disappearance linked to a plot by the leaders of the Sand and Wind Villages to break the peace treaty among ninja and destroy the Hidden Leaf Village? At the center of this intrigue is the highly anticipated face-off between Sasuke and Gaara, the murderous psychotic who fights with enchanted sand. Sasuke arrives just as the match is slated to begin, and the collection ends on a cliff-hanger. The filmmakers also provide plenty of slapstick, ramen dinners, jutsu, and cartoony tantrums that Naruto fans expect.

Rating:  - The beginning of the final round/Naruto, Neji & Shikamaru
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.
Rating:  - still good
Love this show, my kid loves this show. It's nice to have a kid's show that has actual character development and thematic intent.
Rating: - excellence continues
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.
Rating: - Naruto VS Neji... PLUS Shikamaru's breakthrough!
This is a big volume in the Naruto series... Starting off with a few comedic episodes as Naruto trains for the finals of the chunin exams and his big fight against the genius Neji Hyuga. Featuring one of the funniest characters in the show, the famous pervy sage AKA Jiraiya. This is possibly the biggest pervert in anime history... you can't help but laugh at him and his antics.
Though after the training is up the series does a 180 as the finals begin... and we're treated with a brilliantly animated fight between Neji and Naruto. Although Naruto is the lead character and is constantly being beaten on by Neji... not once do you despise the young genius as he tells his sad story while pounding on the nine-tailed fox child. With antagonists you can't help but love, this is where the series truly shines through with it's awesome character development.
Then, after this breathtakingly exciting fight we're treated to something special. Shikamaru's true breakout episode. He finally gains purpose and something that makes him unique in the series. Not since Rock Lee fighting his heart out against Gaara has a secondary character been so compelling. Shikamaru will steal your imagainations... and if you're anything like my girlfriend, your hearts too.
Though, throughout the entire episode the main event is constantly teased... Gaara VS Sasuke. You'd think they were maineventing Wrestlemania how they talk it up. And let me tell you... it works! I can't wait for volume 6 to ... Read More
Rating: - Awsome!
Naruto is awsome, I can't wait for Volume 6! The only problem I had wasn't with the product but with the packaging and shipping, it was poorly packaged which led to the product box to be excessively creased on the sides, not damaging the discs but ruining the collectible box itself.
