Masashi Kishimoto
969 books3,994 followersMasashi 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.

Incredible volume with lots of backstory

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.

Ouch... Yes I cried but the story of Minato and Kushina was so beautiful. The way Minato put Kushina next to Naruto while he went off to fight Madara, and their final words to Naruto before sealing away the nine-tailed beast. It was beautiful, everything about it, the way it as written and drawn it was incredible.
And then thank goodness we have Killer Bee and Naruto dynamics, which is odd but funny.
And Konan against Madara, because our hearts had not had enough breaking.
It hurts but it's incredible and I can't wait to see where this goes.

I cried...SO much during this volume...
I still can't believe Naruto, of all stories, made me cry THIS much...my heart and soul are in shreds...
Also, someone kill Kabuto, please, i am one second away of personally strangling him.

3 and a half stars. This was very wholesome overall especially since we were told even more about Naruto's backstory prior to his birth. Kushina and Minato are literally relationship goals as they sacrificed their lives to save their village and protect their son though endowing him with a huge burden. At least, Naruto figured out how to finally get the seal undone with help from his toad friends. He even had to fight himself to make sure that Kurama was properly tamed. That was quite hilarious despite being both satisfactory and satisfying.
Naruto manages to tame Kurama with help from Killer Bee, eight tails himself and a brilliant ninja. Unfortunately, Madara and Kabuto come together to destroy Konoha once and for all and build the ten tails from the other nine. The akatsuki are brilliant overall, even as Kisame is killed. Yamato and Might Guy are wonderful and characters that I now respect even more. Kabuto is an extremely formidable ninja and I still can't understand how we haven't erased Orochimaru from the storyline yet hahaha
The Fourth Great Ninja war is apparently coming into play in the next omnibus and I can't say I look forward to it as I don't know which other characters may perish, whether them being protagonists or antagonists. Kishimoto has a way of redeeming the characters peacefully and at the most opportune point. I feel as though the story is way more scattered than it used to be, however, this is understandable as there are so many character and hence so many perspectives. For instance, Kisame died an honourable death despite his past of killing his own teammates. Naruto and Killer Bee would gladly participate in the war but there being a chance for them to be detained in battle is too great a risk... They are after all the key the akatsuki need to win the war and perform tsuki no me.
It really makes my heart smile to see how many people now care for Naruto and respect him, so much so that they ask for his autograph. On the other hand, Sasuke is a huge pain in the ass. He too betrayed Karin and now even has Itachi's eyes. Sakura is long forgotten. This omnibus forms part of the few Naruto volumes which made my eyes wet.

Một điểm đáng chú ý nữa mà các fan hâm mộ đã phát hiện ra, đó là hình ảnh của Cữu Vĩ Hồ Ly trong trang cuối đang say ngủ. Sự xuất hiện đột ngột và quá ít, chỉ trong một khung hình nhỏ ở cuối truyện khiến cho các fan dự đoán rằng sẽ có thể đây là gợi ý để mở thêm một bộ truyện về đời con của Naruto.

good plot twists

La trama de Naruto crece exponencialmente al crecer sus personajes, hay muchos momentos donde sinceramente no tengo ninguna idea de cómo se va a desarrollar o solucionar los conflictos en los que se presentan. Hay muchas sorpresas y la historia se vuelve imprescindible.

This is probably the slowest volume so far in the whole series. While we learned quite a lot of backstory and of Naruto's parents the story moved very slow. However, there is still a lot of cool stuff that happened and we are about to jump into the war which will be crazy!
