Amazon.com: Naruto, Vol. 50: Water Prison Death Match: 9781421534978: Kishimoto, Masashi: Books

The 50th volume of Naruto, the long running manga of a ninja’s determination to rise to the top with the powers of determination, friendship, and trust, has reached a turning point. While Naruto still does not return to fighting in this volume, the focus is on the Kages (ninja leaders of the five nations), Sasuke (rogue ninja in cahoots with a masked leader of a rogue ninja organization), and the hunt for the 8-tailed biju and its jinchuriki host, with a little sprinkling of our favorite female ninja, Sakura Haruno! While I will just do as usual and list out the titles of the chapters, I will not spoil any of the plot elements except for stating that the next arc starts off in high fashion and looks to be phenomenal, Naruto even seems to be getting in the action and will take things into his own hands. The July issue (Vol 51) can not come soon enough

The chapters were first seen in Shonen Jump issues 88-91

The action was intense in the volume with numerous characters finally launching attacks, such as the kage of the village hidden in the rain, the Lady Mizukage and her bodyguard Chojuro, and others. We also were able to see Kiba and others again who have been missing for a large part of the mange since the beginning of the attack on the Hidden Leaf village in the previous arc. All in all, the revelations of the ultimate plan, Sakura’s confrontation of Naruto, and the interaction of Gaara and the other kage, lead volume 50 to be one of the best ones yet. I enjoyed it and imagine that fans will enjoy it too. The only negative thing about the volume was the multi month long wait for it and now the multi month long wait for the next volume, but it is oh so worth it. I also believe that the translators did a great job of translating Killer Bee’s rhymes as well.

So definitely, all Naruto fans should read this and add it to their collection.

I must say this was an especially exciting book. Nothing quite like a jenchuriki death match. I’m not really sure what to say other than it’s a Naruto compilation manga. If you like Naruto you will love this book. Especially if you have read the other 50 or watched the anime series up until this point. I lost my ability to watch Naruto on tv or online so I started pre-ordering the manga through amazon and will continue to do so until I’m back in the real world(currently with the military overseas).

Working on buying the entire set and this has been the most affordable way to do it. These are the only books our 11 y/o will read without being threatened with torture. I have no idea what all this Naruto stuff is all about, but it’s something that has helped him get his daily 1 hour of reading in, and now he will voluntarily ready more, often losing track of time.

My daughter couldn’t put the book down.

The action really picks up in this volume, with Bee vs Kisame being the main focus. There are alot of interesting tactics used, and solid plot progression as well. Definitely make sure to pick this one up.

I love to read saga’s! Couldn’t put it down! Waiting for more from this author!!!!!!

I love Naruto so I’m happy with this item.
