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.

I must say it is and it will forever be(fingers crossed) my favorite Manga novel read.

the way Masashi Kishimoto described the characters is just awesome, you get to see them growing up, becoming responsible... powerful...

and it is not just characters,

The plot itself is so much bigger... u simply can't get enough of it. and add to that,

u get more than just entertainment, you learn...
what is
responsibility,
respect,
kindness,
friendship...

so it is not just a manga it is a way of living... The sprite of never giving up!!!

NARUTO!!!

A somewhat slower volume devoted to introduction of new teammates to Team Kakashi. Sai unfortunately comes across as rather generic, a stand-in for Sasuke even in apperance, and a rather stale air of mystery about him. If I didn't know him already I would've been nonplussed; fortunately, I liked him before encountering him in this volume ;). Yamato is different enough from Kakashi to introduce some diversity, and the tensions of transforming a team are depicted enjoyably and reliably enough.

Kabuto is such an ambivalent character his appearance always makes things a bit more interesting. I keep wondering about his angle in all of this, as he's clearly not just Orochimaru's pawn.

Time to see some growth on Naruto's part, though. Long overdue, if you ask me ;)

With new information, Konoha sends Kakashi's team on a covert mission with two new members taking Sasuke and Kakashi's place. The introduction of Sai and Yamato was efficiently executed. One being void of emotions and sharing similarities to Sasuke, while the other uses traumatizing glare tactics to defuse the tension whenever Naruto and Sai create it, the volume essentially builds up the suspense and foreshadows a need for teamwork from this team if they are to achieve anything.

Enter Sai and the secret mission into the land of sound. What can I say about him? He's a brand new type of creepy for the series, but more of an ordinary type, too. You know. Sociopathic. Good thing he's on the side of the land of fire, right? Right?

This volume is introducing two new main characters, and conflict is the name of the game. I didn't like the constant reminders that Sai was behaving a bit like Sasuke, or that he was meant to be a replacement for him, but on his own, Sai is pretty interesting.

Yamato is too, but only for his top-notch ability to stifle bad behaviour.

After returning to Konoha, Naruto's interaction with Shino was hilarious. Man, I couldn't stop laughing. 😂 New Team 7 has been formed with Sai filling in for Sasuke to glean information from Sasori's spy. As expected, they aren't getting along well and their banter was just an icing on the cake. Even with close to no action, this volume was a blast!

I LOVE how Kishi takes the time to build up Sasuke's reveal in the manga. Far superior to the anime version which shows him in the first damn episode.

Sai was cool back in these days, but his character is just completely forgotten about after this arc. He just becomes somebody in the background who does something for one panel every now and then.

So the ending to the last arc wraps up with actually a pretty great Naruto and Garaa moment. I also really enjoyed the new member of the group as he's a super dick and makes for some really funny moments. The rest is good stuff but mostly set up but atleast we're finally heading into new territory for me. This is around the point I stopped watching.

Introducing the New Team Seven, with Sasuke gone and Kakashi hospitalized Team Seven is short two members. Tsunade is told that one of the new members will be chosen by Danzo (I HATE THIS GUY!!!) and the other will be chosen by her. Danzo chooses Sai an emotionless drone who is given a top secret mission while the other is Yamato who has the power of the First Hokage. With the new team formed up they are sent on their mission to Tenchi Bridge to meet the Akatsuki spy, information given to them by Sasori. At Tenchi Bridge it is revealed to be Kabuto, this is not going to go well!! Also in this volume we get to see how all the gang from Part 1 have changed in three years including Shino, Kiba, Hinata, Choji, and Ino!!

Following their battle with Deidara and Sasori, Naruto and co return to Konoha and they are going about their lives when they decide to go on a new mission but 2 new member shave to be added to replace Kakashi and Sasuke in the form of Yamato and Sai. The person who appointed Sai wants to ake the position of Hokage for himself it seems and he is militaristic, while Sai is emotionless and concealing a lot of fact and there is great tension and face off between himself and Naruto and its fun to see. Someone who can get under his skin, he is trained to be without emotion and carry out some plan but there is more going on and there is more mysteries with Yamato. He dresses up as Sasori to meet the Akatsuki spy in Orochimaru's org. and it turns out to be Kabuto but seems like more is under the surface. It was a fun volume, adding two new characters to the team adds a new dimension to the series and has fun banter throughout. Overall a good volume!

Le doy un 3'75/5🌟

Este tomo lo encontré algo aburrido, no tenía la emoción del anterior.

El equipo de Kakashi, tiene dos nuevos integrantes... Yamato, se encargará de las nuevas misiones, hasta que Kakashi se recupere. Sai, es el que ocupa el lugar Sasuke, cosa que no me gusta mucho.


Mi primera impresión sobre Sai, no es muy buena... Lo encuentro algo prepotente y borde, igual, cambia más adelante.


Sabía que el espía que tenía Sasori, no era de fiar y no me equivocaba.

¿Ahora que les espera a Naruto y a Sakura? Creo, que mañana lo voy a descubrir.

Tengo decidido terminar esta colección.

Naruto and Sakura have to deal with their most challenging foe yet: Sasuke’s replacement! Sai is an interesting character (with a lot more up his sleeve I’m guessing) and their interactions this volume were great.

This is a review of the entire series.

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.

Naruto Band 032 von Masashi Kishimoto

Zum Inhalt:
Ein neuer Auftrag wartet auf Naruto und Sakura. Dazu werden sie dem Gruppenführer Yamato zugeteilt. Der Dritte im Bunde ist ein unheimlicher Junge namens Sai, der vom zwielichtigen Danzo empfohlen wurde. Danzo wollte damals Hokage der dritten Generation werden, musste aber Meister Sarutobi den Vortritt lassen. Meisterin Tsunade traut weder ihm noch Sai über den Weg...

Cover:
Dieses Cover passt wieder sehr gut zur Reihe, wenn auch weniger zum Inhalt des Bandes. Zu sehen sind hier Naruto, Choji, Shikamaru und Ino, welche dem Betrachter als Gruppe zusammen stehend entgegen blicken. Das passt zwar an sich doch ganz gut, weil sie ja alle irgendwie in der Geschichte vorkommen, sagt aber kaum etwas zum Inhalt dieses Bandes aus. Trotzdem mag ich es aber irgendwie.

Eigener Eindruck:
Nachdem Oma Chiyo ihr Leben gegeben hat, um Gaara wieder lebendig zu machen, kehren die Ninja wieder nach Konoha zurück. Dort werden sie in neue Gruppen aufgeteilt. Sakura und Naruto bekommen neben dem mysteriösen Sai, welcher sich scheinbar von Anfang an bei allen recht unbeliebt macht, auch einen neuen Gruppenführer in Form des Charakters Yamato zugeteilt. Alles scheint neu zu werden und das passt Naruto so gar nicht, vor allem weil er Sai nicht über den Weg traut. Doch viel Zeit zum Überlegen bleibt dem Jungen aus Konoha nicht, denn die Hokage Tsunade schickt die Gruppe zu einem neuen Auftrag…

Tja, da gingen sie dahin meine Erklärungen, die ich im Nachgang noch erwartet hatte, um so einige Dinge aus dem letzten Band noch aufzulösen. Stattdessen treffen wir hier auf den neuen Charakter Sai, der wirklich sehr komisch ist. Man kann also die Abneigung von Naruto durchaus nachvollziehen. Schnell kommt es hier auch wieder dazu, dass man hinter jeder Ecke Verrat an Konoha vermuten muss und automatisch muss man auch gleich wieder an Orochimaru und seine Handlanger denken. Sai jedenfalls scheint sehr gut zu dieser Truppe zu passen, vor allem, weil er den anderen gegenüber ein Geheimnis zu haben scheint. Diese Heimlichtuerei in diesem Band hat mich übrigens ein bisschen kirre gemacht, da ich es mag, wenn Tatsachen gleich auf den Tisch gelegt werden. Da der Charakter des Sai in meinen Augen nicht sonderlich ausgebaut ist, denke ich, dass wir ihn auch nicht lange in der Gruppe erleben werden – ehrlich gesagt erinnert er mich ein bisschen an den Bengel aus den ersten Teilen, der bei dem Brückenkampf schließlich trotz Freundschaft zu Naruto zu seinem Meister gehalten und sich für diesen geopfert hat. Fast wirkt er auch sehr weich, weil er ständig am Malen ist – aber so wie ich den Mangka kenne, wird das auch wieder eine dieser ultraspeziellen Techniken werden, bei denen man sich im Nachgang fragt, wo er nur diese verrückten Ideen her nimmt. Warten wir also ab, was geschehen wird. Im nächsten Band wird es meiner Meinung nach wieder hoch her gehen, denn dieser Teil hier war für Masashi Kishimoto schon fast zu ruhig.

Fazit:
4 von 5 Sterne

UGH DANZO .
Out of all of the characters in Naruto, he is my most hated character. I’ve finished the whole thing and there were a lot of psychopaths but this guy is just evil. He doesn’t act that way because it’d be a more peaceful world, a world without pain. Which is what most psychos in Naruto are.
Danzo is not. He’s selfish and wants only to hurt others yet be revered.
He makes me so so angry. I hate having to deal with his character.
But, he is so important to the story.


In the beginning Sai is really annoying. I know he’s like that because of the Foundation. But still…

I like Yamato but I feel like his character is kind of plain and boring. The only reason he’s not totally boring is because he’s the only person at that time that can use wood-style jutsu.
Wood-style is really cool.


When Naruto screamed “No! He’s not one of us!”, it seriously pissed me off. After the way he’s been treated by most of the village, saying he’s not one of them and he doesn’t belong… Naruto is still too young, naive, and emotional.

He’s mad at the end of the day because Sai does not currently respect his relationship with Sasuke (and Sai is not wrong!!) This is because Sasuke is a traitor and abandoned the village and went rogue to get power from an enemy that killed many people in that same village. He also abandoned all of his “friends”.
And let’s not forget that Sasuke tried to kill Naruto!! :p
Sai is also replacing Sasuke’s now empty spot on their 3 man team.

Sakura is mad because she thinks she’s in love with Sasuke. I think Sakura is a pathetic woman yearning for an unrequited love. She follows him around like a puppy, looking for any scraps of food he throws her way. She likes him because she thinks he’s the hottest guy. That’s it. I don’t care what else she says about him, that’s all there is.


Orochimaru grosses me out. I can’t stand slime and slivering.
