The Search for the Fifth Hokage,
This review is from: Naruto, Vol. 18: Tsunade's Choice (Paperback)
Volume 18 begins the Search For Tsunade story arc who is the proposed Fifth Hokage of Konohagakure, or head ninja of the Village Hidden in Leaves. There isn't much to say about it other than it's a great continuation of the series and won't disappoint. What I would like to correct is some things said by the other reviewer, Erin J. Morgart. He is completely wrong about the kunoichi or female ninjas. Every girl character seems to be smarter than their boy counterparts with the exception to Shikamaru, who has an IQ of 200. And yes, some of the females use their intelligence towards medical training, which I would like to ask, how is that a bad thing? Last time I checked a doctor is one of the most respectable professions a person could have. On top of that Kurenai is a genjutsu master and Temari could easily take on most of the guy characters. Sure they have flaws. Like Sakura and Ino's obsession over a boy in the story, but the males have flaws too. Such as Sauske's drive for power and revenge. It's very even on both sides. No charcter is 100% good or 100% bad. Just wanted to point that out.

has potential. but fails.,
This review is from: Naruto, Vol. 18: Tsunade's Choice (Paperback)
Like i said, it has potential.I know i'm not the only one here. ANY female character in Naruto is weak/has-no-sense-of-moral/shallow/outmatched. Sakura, Ino, Ten-Ten, Hinata, Temari, Kurenai--you name it. Now unviel Tsunade. Smart. Strong. Beautiful. Complicated past. A legend. Kimimoto fails to bring her to this height. Smart? Yeah, in medicine. Spends her free time "investing" in large debts and often takes unnecessary bets. Strong? Sure. Has super strength. Appropriate power for a tempramental women. Other than that, almost destroyed a whole village in order to bring her loved ones back to life. Beautiful? Yep. Uses her jutsu to look younger than 50 (M.K. probably couldn't draw a middle-aged women). See? Yeah, I've seen better.
