Naruto, everybody's favorite hyperactive knucklehead, and his fellow ninja-in-training Sakura and Sosuke complete their first major mission in this popular martial arts comedy-adventure. While Sakura defends the bridge builder and Kakashi grapples with renegade assassin Zabuza, Naruto and Sosuke have to put aside their personal animosity to tackle Haku, Zabuza's super-fast, needle-throwing cohort. Haku employs a secret jutsu to conjure a mirrored structure of ice that enables him to shift among multiple reflections, like Rita Hayworth in The Lady from Shanghai. The filmmakers suggest that Naruto may have the resources to achieve his dream of becoming Hokage (head ninja) when a seal leaks some of the power of the nine-tailed fox demon trapped within his body. Once the fight on the bridge ends, Naruto, Sosuke and Sakura must prepare for the Chunin exams, which will allow them to advance to the next stage of training. Junior ninja from the Hidden Nations of Sound, Rain, Water Fall, Sand, and Wind assemble in Leaf Village. All the other candidates have much more experience than the home-town rookies, but Sosuke's icy excellence immediately attracts challengers. Annoyed at the attention Sosuke's receiving, Naruto reverts to his trademark mixture of braggadocio and clumsiness. The exams are designed to eliminate all but the most promising ninja, and the candidates must figure out just what they're being tested on. Only the best will survive: Believe it!

 The second DVD box set of uncut Naruto episodes September 3, 2008
This is a three-disc DVD set that contains episodes fourteen through twenty-five of Naruto. The first two discs contain four episodes, while the third disc contains four episodes and the special features. The first disc is a little tedious to watch, because the fight that is taking place in these episodes is stretched out by a ridiculous amount. The second and third discs are a more enjoyable viewing experience.
The extras are rather similar to what appeared on the first DVD box set. There is "Production Art" (nine pages of model sketches of some of the Naruto characters), "From Sketch to Screen" (eight pages of storyboards for episode twenty-two; you can also choose to see the clip that the storyboard is for), the English credits, a sneak preview for the third Naruto uncut box set, and trailers and promos for Shonen Jump products.
Like the first box, I was rather disappointed in the special features. While I knew to expect it after seeing similar extras on the first box, I was still a little disappointed.
If you're a Naruto fan and want to collect the episodes on DVD, then this would be a good addition to your DVD library.
 turning up the intensity July 20, 2008
Viz continues with its stellar box sets for Naruto. The box sets are attractively priced and come with three discs, which effectively makes up season 2 of the series. These discs finish up the Land of Waves arc and starts the defining arc of the Naruto series, the Chunnin Exam arc. While memorable characters like Zabuza and Haku make their permanent exits from the series, you get your first looks at the gennin/beginner ninja of other Hidden Villages, including the unforgettable Gaara. The action and story on these discs is mid tier as some aspects of the Land of Waves fight dragged on for too long, even if it did have a very grand and exciting conclusion. And much of the beginning of the Chunnin exam is very introductory and full of teasers for things to come. Overall, box set is a very good one with a good amount of extras and episodes for a very fair price, and I can't imagine the Naruto series getting better treatment than it is getting for these Uncut releases. A definite buy in my opinion.
Number 1 June 21, 2008
i don't watch this series, i bought this for my son,and he is just nuts about these cartoons. He think they are the best.
Great buy, if you are a Naruto Fan February 28, 2008
I am a big fan of anime, Naruto is by far may favorite, followed by Bleach. The Naruto uncut is not much different than the ones they show on TV, but of course there is more blood, and some words are substituted. The English dubbed is very good, but the option to have the Japanese with sub-titles is a great, if you don't mind reading. I have seen most of the Naruto Shippuden also and I don't mind reading the sub-titles. My main problem with the Naruto Uncut DVD is the recap, why on earth would you need a recap on "DVD" most likely you are going to watch the next episode right away. If they eliminated the recap and the intro song on every episode, they could probably add at least two or three more episodes. I also have a problem with the price compared to how many episodes come in the set. With a price tag of $40+ you should get more for your money. But it is not to much to just pay it and continue to watch this great story full of memorable characters. Every anime fan should own these DVDs.

I bought this dvd set for my 12 year old daughter who is a walking Naruto Wikipedia. She LOVED it. I had also, previously, bought her the volume 1 set. She can't get enough,... after homework, (talk about incentive!)
