Naruto, Vol. 30: Puppet Masters [Paperback]

Masashi Kishimoto (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 1, 2008

Naruto is a ninja-in-training with an incorrigible knack for mischief. He's got a wild sense of humor, but Naruto is completely serious about his mission to be the world's greatest ninja!

 

Sakura takes her place at the front of the fight to save Naruto. With Granny Chiyo at her side, she must battle Sasori, who can create golems from the undead. But Granny Chiyo is a puppet master too--only it could be Sakura's strings she's pulling!
