Naruto, Vol. 2 (Paperback)

Naruto, Vol. 2 (Paperback)

"Naruto Vol. 2" finds Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke and their teacher, the one-eyed Kakashi, on their first "real" assignment as Genin, or Junior Ninja. (After having passed Kakashi's test to be full-fledged Ninja, of course!) The foursome are hired to protect Tazuna, a gruff and unfriendly bridge builder from the Land of the Waves. Tazuna is being hunted by The Demon Zabuza, a fearsome outlaw ninja who slaughtered his entire graduating class from The-Village-Hidden-in-the-Mist.

Volume 2 expands on the themes brought up in Volume 1. Naruto is still an almost unlikable brat, but his potential comes out more and more. Kakashi serves as a teacher both to the reader and to Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke, unfolding tales of the Chakras, the Kage ninja leaders, and other essentials of author Kishimoto's ninja fantasy world. The secret of Kakashi's hidden eye is revealed as well in an awesome battle with The Demon Zabuza.

Everything really starts to take off with this volume. The stage has been set, the characters have been established, and now the ride begins.
