Masashi Kishimoto (岸本斉史 Kishimoto Masashi) is a Japanese manga artist, well known for creating the manga series Naruto. His younger twin brother, Seishi Kishimoto, is also a manga artist and creator of the manga series O-Parts Hunter (666 Satan) and Blazer Drive. Two of his former assistants, Osamu Kajisa (Tattoo Hearts) and Yuuichi Itakura (Hand's), have also gone on to moderate success following their work on Naruto.
Kishimoto's first work as a manga artist was Karakuri (カラクリ?), which he submitted to Shueisha in 1995. This earned him the Weekly Shōnen Jump's monthly "Hop Step Award" in 1996, granted to promising new manga artists. This was followed in 1997 by a pilot version of Naruto (NARUTO-ナルト-), published in Akamaru Jump Summer. In 1998, Kishimoto premiered as a Weekly Shōnen Jump artist with a serialized version of Karakuri in Weekly Shōnen Jump, but it proved unpopular and was canceled soon after. In 1999, a serialized version of Naruto began publication in Weekly Shōnen Jump and quickly became a hit.
Sorry, I read Naruto mostly for the biju :P (and Naruto, Itachi and Kakashi, but that's beside the point here, which is: KURAMA!). This is one of the truly epic moments in the series, with a payoff that has been long time coming. While I might've expected a bit more bang from this resolution, I'm actually pretty happy - the point here was not some yet another level of jutsu (we've had too much of it already, particularly with Madara), but the maturing of a relationship built on trust and love.
The scene with all biju bestowing their names on Naruto is just so freaking awesome!
One of those Naruto moments that you can't help from getting hyped from. This was built up for a while now but the delivery was fantastic! The volume could've ended with something more epic but still sets up another exciting battle.
man do you ever watch sasuke's inexplicable crazy hate town turn and wonder at why konoha has such poor psychological services? they're a military town, they should have experience with this! in what universe would anyone think it's a good idea to let a little kid who watched his entire family be massacred deal with that on his own, like really, they kinda brought this on themselves
also the biju ~friends~ stuff this volume was nice i suppose. been a lot of naruto though, i can't really remember what the rest of the cast is up to anymore. they're all running? somewhere? who even knows. 3 stars
Kyûbi décide finalement de s'allier à Naruto afin d'aider les autres réceptacles. On les rencontre donc, bien que brièvement, mais ça permet d'apprendre que les bijus ont de véritables noms. Autres que ceux terminant par "Bi". (Je les ai pas tous retenus par contre, pareil pour les réceptacles. Trop de personnages pour que je me souvienne de ceux qui seront juste de passage).
Dans ce tome, j'ai surtout aimé le discours à la fin. Et qui redonne courage à tous nos personnages ! Ils en avaient bien besoin.
Finally! Naruto and Kyubi aka Kurama decide to trust each other! Absolutely fabulous, especially that bit where Naruto and Kurama delve deeper into the realm of subconscious of the other Bijus! And I love Kakashi sensei always emerges out of nowhere whenever Naruto is stuck in a difficult situation.
This was really emotional and action-packed. Seeing the effect Naruto has on all the Biju and the (rightful) doubt they all had towards his genuine actions was beautiful to witness. Kurama's flashback was the cherry on top. The pacing of the war regarding the backstories, HQ, Naruto's progression with Nine Tails, and now Sasuke's return is being done really well. I'm still scared though...
This cover is one of my favorites!! So much happened in this volume and there was a much needed break from all the fighting.
Naruto and Bee are struggling to keep up when Kakashi and Guy arrive to help. Suigetsu and Jugo head to Orochimaru's hideout. They find something that Suigetsu says could change the outcome of the war. Meanwhile, Karin is attempting to escape from the shinobi.
The Nine Tails is still refusing to help Naruto despite the Eight Tails encouragement, but he may be changing his mind. We see how frustrated he is to be continuously imprisoned by humans and despised. Naruto is eaten by the Four Tails an meets with him inside his mind or something. Naruto says he has honest intentions and respects biju. He also learns the Nine Tails name: Kurama. Naruto says he wants to help the Four Tails so he tells him how to break the chakra chain. Naruto is able to, but that just pulls the Four Tails back into the Gedo statue. The Four Tails explains there was no way Naruto could have set him free from the statue, but now his body is no longer under fake Madara's control. It was a test to see if Naruto was honest about his intentions.
Kurama FINALLY agrees to help Naruto and Naruto fully transforms into the buji state. (Kurama also had stopped stealing Naruto's chakra from him this entire time).
Naruto and Kurama meet with the rest of the buji and hosts deep with in the mindspace and they all give him their names and think he is the savior the sage of the six paths promised. Naruto takes out all the chakra receivers and the buji go back into the gedo statue.
Sasuke has promised not to kill a single Konoha shinobi until his showdown with Naruto. He has decided that now is the time. But as he goes to find him, he passes Itachi in the forest heading to Kabuto!!!!!!!
The gokage are fighting Madara and see the first hokage's face grafted onto his chest. We also see a flashback about the Tsuchikage (he loses his courage after being unable to defeat Madara years ago adn gave up) and now he was to regain his honor.
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 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.
TOO MUCH ACTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Naruto faces the bijuu and becomes even stronger and cooler! Everyone is on their way to support his battle with Tobi and whatever else he's got up his sleeve, while Sasuke approaches a fated meeting with Itachi.
Really looking forward to watching the anime of this volume!
Flipping through the pages of Naruto Volume 60, Kurama, an adventure novel by Masashi Kishimoto, talks about a war in first person omniscient. This war is such a major deal that it involves the world’s fate resting on Naruto’s shoulders. Tobi, the mask man or the antagonist, is the string puller of this idea to end the world. His plans are to collect massive amounts of energy, or known as chakra, to become the world’s next sage. My hopes are that he does for a longer story line because then things will sure stir up within the story. Anyways though, this has two separate side stories such as Madara’s side and Sasuke’s. Madara, the man who manipulates all things in crave for power, has arise from the dead. A being like him could known as god considering the amount of power he has. While Sasuke, the protagonist’s friend, is just a complete lost child having utterly no path to fight for, but his own reasons. Truly peering over the pages, action keeps soaring higher with interesting plot twists. This novel series is truly quite engaging to be honest with you.
Reading this novel got me hooked on as if I was being lured in. What really caught my eye was when Hinata said, “Naruto… I’ve been running after you my whole life. Even now… But when this war is over… I’m not going to run anymore. I’ll stand with you. I’ll hold your hand. And I’ll walk with you by your side. So please wait for me!” When I first saw this, I thought of this as noteworthy since ending the war once and for all would mean that Hinata would finally admit her feelings towards Naruto. Honestly, it's such a charming emotion to have for someone who hasn’t thought about you. Another noteworthy example would be how they left off at the end with Sasuke spotting his elder brother, Itachi. This was such an effective cliffhanger making readers, me myself, wanting to find out more like yearning for more. This led me to so many possibilities the story on how things might end up with Sasuke and Itachi. Saying these things makes me even more desperate to find out. Lastly, Naruto is someone who is effective to children since he’s an inspiration to never give up. An example would be where he said “Try to make me give up!” To sum up, I would totally recommend this novel to read, ten out of ten! This would be a great choice for young teens. I would also recommend this as something you could try different aside from books you usually read. My reasons being that the story line gets better the farther you progress in it. Yes, even though the last couple of pages do leave you off on a cliffhanger. It does however, in return hooks you on to it like bubblegum making you itching for what happens next. Overall, this is a novel series that I would totally recommend to anyone who loves the taste of action.
