I had it at a three for most of the volume, but the Gai/Rock Lee scenes and the final two pages raised it up to a four star rating in the end. I'm so mad that Naruto, which I don't want to end just yet, is over (ends at volume 72) while Bleach, which is good but needs to end, still hasn't reached its conclusion. At least I have several more volumes of the English-translated manga to look forward to this year! ( )

Time for Naruto and Sasuke to go night-night. They're too powerful and we've got to have others show off their stubborn streaks.

Oh well, not a problem, at least now we get to see Guy put everything on the line and become the Red Beast against Madara the Second Sage of the Six Paths. (Or at least the beginning of it.) ( )

This volume was a bit blah. Just more of the same. ( )
