Director Hayato Date deftly juggles interlocking story lines, flashbacks, action sequences, and broad comedy as the hit adventure-fantasy Naruto Shippuden continues. Gaara, the leader of the Village Hidden in the Sand, battles Deidara, who fights with enchanted paper and clay. Their spectacular duel reveals how completely Naruto transformed an icy assassin into an admirable leader: Gaara allows himself to be captured to protect the people of his village. But help is on the way: Naruto and Sakura have joined their former teacher, Kakashi-sensei, to form a new ninja team in the allied Hidden Leaf Village. Naruto Shippuden boasts more elaborate computer-animated effects than Naruto, enabling Date to pump up the action when Gaara fights with clouds of magical sand and when Sand Village lieutenant Kankura duels the scorpionlike Sasori using elaborate puppets. But amid the crises, there's still time for Naruto to slurp down ramen and act like the knucklehead audiences know and love. While Naruto Shippuden clearly draws a lot of viewers from the millions of Naruto fans, it's exciting and entertaining enough to win viewers who don't know the original series. (Rated T+ Older Teen, but suitable for ages 12 and older: violence, minor toilet humor) --Charles Solomon

Shippuden Rocks!

Naruto Shippuden is a little different from the early Naruto years. But it is high octane adrenaline! The action and story line arc takes up to 30 episodes before Sai comes into the picture. The only dissappointment I feel is in Viz Media, why are they bothering to release Shippuden 1 disc (4 episodes) at a time? They should go directly to box sets! And by box sets I mean, they should carry at least 20 episodes or more. Shipuden season 1 is like 50 or more episodes, each season is huge! Viz Media, why must you milk us of our hard earned money and give us so little in return?! Anyone who buys this disc or the previous disc in this series, I suggest you hold off watching them until you have disc 10 in hand, these episodes catch you and never let you go, you will writhe in agony until the next release!

The Gara Rescue Quest Begins

These episodes will get to show us how much the other Konoha 11 have grown since Naruto has been away from his friends and teachers, as you see Naruto reuniting with his friends and finding out what has been happening Gara finds himself locked in battle with one of the elusive Akatsuki who have been sent to the hidden sand village to capture him. AS soon as Naruto finds out he of course rushes to aid his friend and fellow jinchuriki(A Person who has a sealed tailed demon in him/her)as he journeys to the sand village with Kakashi, Sakura, and Temari what is happening to Gara ignites his own anger as he knows the Akatsuki only see him and the other jinchuriki as nothing more than monster vessels to use in their insidious scheme. The series is still very entertaining and follows the manga series almost perfectly there are of course a few minor differences but nothing to big to worry about. I do hope that they'll release uncut box sets like they did with Naruto but I guess will just have to wait an see. So for all fans rejoice again as the Shippuden episodes have finally arrived for us all to enjoy...
