The 8th set of the hit ninja-fantasy Naruto spans the end of Season Four (2004) and the start of Season Five (2004-2005). The first episodes conclude the battle between Jiraiya, Lady Tsunada (who will become the Fifth Hokage), and Naruto on one side, and Orochimaru and his henchman Kabuto on the other. The combatants invoke numerous jutsu and summon three animals often linked to supernatural warriors in Japanese folklore: a toad, a snail or slug, and a serpent. This duel between good and evil includes some of the most dynamic fight sequences in the Naruto continuity. A subsequent visit to a hot spring turns into a farce as Jiraiya lives up to his nickname of "Pervy Sage," and Naruto mistakenly tries help a pair of would-be bill collectors. The battle against Orochimaru has left the Hidden Leaf Village short of trained ninja: Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura are sent to protect a runner in a high-stakes race in the Land of Tea without Kakashi-sensei to supervise them. Naruto proves his growing strength and maturity, not through his use of battle techniques or magical jutsu, but by demonstrating his dedication to his friends and to completing his mission. Everyone's favorite ninja-in-training remains a knucklehead, but he's a knucklehead with some admirable qualities. It all adds up to one of the most satisfying installments in this popular series. (Rated T+ Older Teen; suitable for ages 12 and older: violence, toilet humor, grotesque imagery, tobacco and alcohol use) --Charles Solomon

Rating: - Naruto Uncut Box Set Volume 8
Good series. Thoroughly entertaining. Good animation. Good storytelling. Recommended for any one who likes Naruto and Ninjas.
Rating: - Worth it, lots of fillers though
Naruto uncut box set 8 is well worth the money, it has a lot of fillers and the battles seem to drag on for a while, but all in all it's worth it and there's some good action in it!
Rating: - Conclusion of the Tsunade/Sannin arc
The Naruto Uncut Box Sets are THE best anime box sets ever done!I used to hate on Viz for the way they strung out InuYasha, but this makes up for that in spades.Vol. 8 has the same excellent design and 3 discs with the included sketch book pertaining to an episode in the box set.To make things clear I'm talking about the regular box set, not the one with the figures.
The first disc deals with the conclusion of the Sannin arc, where we get pure shonen fighting action almost along the lines ... Read More

This boxset is a "Must-have" for all Naruto fans, as it contains the Earth-trembling battle between the three legendary Sannin.It has the perfect balance between storyline construction and action sequences.I highly recommend this boxset and can't wait for #9 to be available!

on Lady Tsunade who is in line to become the 5th Hokage, if she can get over her well known losers streak when it comes to gambling and skipping out on her debts.She's one heck of a fighter but has a slight issue with the sight of blood and this in explained and all other things about her dark and storied past.It makes for a great addition to this series along with her and Master Jiraiya's battle with the ever evil and seriously wacked out Orochimaru who's still got an issue or two with a few people. ...
