The second season of Naruto continues as the next phase of the Chunin exams begins: individual combat among the surviving candidates. Kakashi-sensei seals the curse mark Orochimaru set on Sasuke's neck, but its effect on the talented young ninja remains uncertain. Naruto beats his opponent using decidedly unconventional means: only everyone's favorite knucklehead could turn an attack of flatulence into a jutsu. As the matches progress, the focus shifts from Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura to the secondary characters Hinata and Rock Lee. The offspring of a great ninja clan, Hinata seems too timid to live up to the family tradition of violence, but she fights valiantly against her cousin Neiji. Rock Lee has no talent for the magical jutsu the other students employ, so he's trained himself mercilessly in physical techniques. He's pitted against Gara, the icy trainee who fights with clouds of enchanted sand. Lee and Hinata overtax their resources but demonstrate true ninja spirit--and win the respect of Naruto and Sakura. The struggles of the secondary characters add some emotional depth to the inevitably repetitious fight scenes. The season ends on multiple cliffhangers, with Lee and Sasuke in the hospital and Naruto beginning a grueling training regimen with a new sensei to prepare for the final Chunin combat. (Rated T+ Older Teen; suitable for ages 12 and older: violence, toilet humor) --Charles Solomon

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't get the Urge, June 29, 2007

By	Cpt Roland Jarvis (U.A.E.) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

As a new viewer to naturo I purchased all three uncut english version sets with the idea of watching them over time. Bad move. I watched the entire three sets in two days. I would have watched them in one day but work got in the way. We all know this is one of the most outstanding Anime series and the question of "in original language" or English dubbed is an interesting one. "The Urge" commented in his review that things where missing and not the same between the two versions. Not having seen the Japanese original language version he could be right; however, the examples he gave about the "sexy-Jutsu" and Sauske/naruto being edited out was untrue. It's all there. The rest, well I don't know. I'm hoping the term "uncut" means it is as close to the original as possible in a language change. That would be true if in subtitles or dubbed. Bottom line is it's a great series in English and if it's better in Japanese so be it. There are a lot of Animes out there and most certainly are not that good. So when one comes along that is terrific, such as Naruto, enjoy it in whatever language you can enjoy the most.
Better Believe It.

5.0 out of 5 stars It keeps getting better, June 7, 2007

By	Kyle Phillips (Ashland, MA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

As an owner of the previous three volumes, i have come to realize that Naruto keeps getting better as the episodes go on. Think about it, the first volume just showed them struggle as pathetic ninja. The second volume shows them mature a little enough to survive their first mission and the first part of the chunin exam. And now the third volume shows them grow huge bounds as each character grows greatly from the first episode. and it is only going to get better as the four volume features the ten fights of the preliminary round of the third part of the chunin exams. Most of the fights are intriguing, especially the one between rock lee and that wierd ude with the sand thing on his back. This volume looks to be the best yet, and it will only get better. My only wish is that they would release these uncut volumes faster because this show is very addicting.

As with the other boxed sets you can watch in Japanese with english subtitles-if you're one of them purists who wants to see it that way-, or you can watch it in english, and you can still have the english subtitles if you want-up to you. I like to put the subtitles on during the opening and closing theme songs so I can see what the words to the songs are-good songs-.

This entire boxed set covers the preliminary rounds, until the last episode and a half, where the rounds are over and you find out what everyone has to do for the final round of the Chunin Exam. You learn a lot about all the different talents of the ninja-it's great.

Starts off finishing Sasuke's match versus the one guy from Kabuto's group-who is actually a sound ninja spy for Orochimaru-,
then you have
-Shino(one of the rookies) vs. Zaku-from the Sound village,
-Sakura vs. Ino (Hopefully you know who both of them are :~/ )
-Tarmari (female sand ninja) vs. Ten-Ten (female from Rock Lee and Nenji's group)
-Shikamaru (rookie) vs. Kein(female sound ninja)
-Kiba vs. Naruto -smiley face-
-Hinata Hyuga vs. Nenji Hyuga (they're cousins)
-Gaara of the Desert(you have to know who he is by now) vs. Rock Lee (This is a wonderful fight!!!)
-Choji vs. the other sound ninja guy, can't remember his name, the guy who hits you with sound waves from the thing on his arm.

I won't tell you who wins them all, you'll just have to watch and find out. It's good though, you'll be on h edge of your seat every battle.

So far there is an average of 13 episodes per boxed set. Not too bad, but seeing as there are 250 episodes released in Japan already-or some number near that- try to buy it on sale. I've said this in other reviews too. BUY THEM ON SALE!!! unless you're rich and it doesn't matter, and if you are picture someone sticking there tongue out at you because they're annoyed---it's me---. I pre-ordered box 5 while it was 15 dollars off or so over labor day weekend. Try doing something like that.
