Sounds like the start of a good joke right? But it’s no laughing matter when Tsunade, Orochimaru and Jiraiya face off in a sannin showdown! Tsunade gives Orochimaru her answer and she is perilously peeved! She’s got a temper, oh boy! But Kabuko, Orochimaru’s right hand, has some tricks of his own up his sleeve and soon the fray is a full blown deadly dance of death. It’s medicine ninja versus medicine ninja in one of the most vicious fights Naruto has ever seen!

Big time fights, action and all around ninja adrenalin are packed in this volume. Pretty soon Kabuko faces off with Shizune, Tsunade’s right hand, and Naruto barrels in to help during the brutal fight. He’s in way, WAY over his spiky head but you know him, he never gives up! Jiraiya squares off against Orochimaru and the pervy sage may joke around, but he ain’t laughing when he fights Orochimaru – and neither is Orochimaru. Seems he’s not all drink and talk, the pervy sage is taking this fight to heart!

Now Kabuko, just what is his deal? Last volume it seemed maybe, just maybe, he was actually doing all these evil deeds to get close enough to Orochimaru to off him. But now it seems he may really be the dastardly dude he appears to be. The battle with Naruto is harsh stuff, this guy doesn’t pull any punches. And his words are just as mean. Expect to see Naruto beat up then fired up and find out if he managed to master that Fourth Hokage’s jutsu after all! The fight between these two is super ninja action the way only Naruto can deliver. And it seems Orochimaru has his own plans for Naruto, ones that go against the Akutsu whom he’s supposed to serve!

Then brace yourself for the big fight when Tsunade goes one on one with Orochimaru in and all or nothing fight to the finish!

IN SUMMARY:
