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

 Naruto Uncut Box Set Volume 8 October 12, 2008
Good series. Thoroughly entertaining. Good animation. Good storytelling. Recommended for any one who likes Naruto and Ninjas.
 Worth it, lots of fillers though August 11, 2008
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!
Conclusion of the Tsunade/Sannin arc July 20, 2008
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 of the Third Hokage versus Orochimaru. Despite the much weaker, though still somewhat entertaining other episodes in this set, the first disc should be enough of a reason to buy this disc. Naruto is much less prominently featured in this set, but the trade off is that you get to see three legendary characters have at each other for the first and only time. If you've watched Naruto up to this point and are buying these box sets instead of the single volumes that they are putting out, then you are pretty informed and probably just need a nudge in the right direction. So I say buy this despite the filler episodes, because the conclusion of this arc is necessary thing. For newer lovers of Naruto, I highly suggest starting off with the first two volumes of the Uncut boxes and working your way up to this point, where the story is still very good and entertaining.
A must-have... July 15, 2008

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!
Cheers

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.
Its heck of a battle as she fights to save Naruto who's had his own battle with Orochimaru's flunkee Kabuto (talks 2 much for me). Excellent volume and leaves off on a good note for the start of the next volume, well worth your money and minus an episode or two that could've been left out. It's very entertaining as well.
