WOW, this book was great. I really like the action and suspense in it. And if you didn't know, their is some romance going on. Well, i think that there are a lot more books comeing out awhile from now. I can't wait to see Naruto and his ninja friends grow up. I would definetly suggest to read this series to anyone that likes action, suspense, and heart throbing moments.(not just romance)

I love Naruto manga and anime (I have all of them)...this is one of the coolest books in the series. It shows Naruto training with the Toad Sage to prepare for the final round of the Chunin exams. It is a funny volume...and full of action. I love a scene that takes place between Naruto and Hinata when Naruto is on his way to fight Neji. Naruto is feeling down and Hinata encourages him. Naruto says that he likes people like her. She always remembers this since she really loves Naruto. It is an important moment for Hinata and Naruto. Buy it from Amazon!! Masashi Kishimoto rocks!!
