Naruto Season 1 Episode 13 Haku's Secret Jutsu: Crystal Ice Mirrors

Summary: Gatous men stop by Tazuna's home to take Tsunami hostage, but Inari and Naruto step in and save her. Meanwhile on the bridge Sasuke and Haku fight in a battle of speed. When Haku summons several ice mirrors around Sasuke and Kakashi can not help him or Zabuza will kill Tazuna and Sakura. Sakura ,however, leaves Tazuna's side to help Sasuke out but fails. Before Haku moves back into the ice mirrors, Naruto surprise attacks him.

Thoughts: That is one weird jutsu, and why is it called secret jutsu? Wouldn't it be a type of water jutsu? Interesting. Sakura did step up on this episode, which I like but it still wasn't much. Inari was the star of this episode tonight. He finally stepped up like his father would have wanted him to, and that makes me happy. He helped save his mother and he will never forget that.

End: On to Episode 14 :D

Naruto OVA # 1 Find the Crimson Four Leaf Clover!

Summary: Konohamaru asks Naruto to help him find the rare Crimson Four Leaf Clover so he can give it to the girl he likes. But it is located in a dangerous part of the village. Naruto goes through the traps and makes it to the clover but knocks the statue hiding the clover over causing a trap of attacking puppets. Kakashi sends Sasuke and Sakura to help out as training. The battle ends and Konohamaru delivers the clover to the girl.

Thoughts: It was really childish but cute at the same time. Props for Konohamaru!

End: Well here is my first OVA post. Now back to Season 1! Episode 13!

Naruto Season 1 Episode 12: Battle on the Bridge! Zabuza Returns!

Summary: Naruto and the tracker ninja meet face to face except Naruto can not recognize him. The ninja tells Naruto that to become strong, one must have something to protect. We also learn that Zabuza took this ninja in and that he would protect Zabuza. At dinner that night, Inari finally calls Naruto out again on how there are no heroes which in turn causes Naruto to finally tell him that he is a coward before leaving. Kakashi and Inari have a little heart to heart about Naruto. A few days later, Naruto and Sasuke have finally finished their training, but Naruto is completely wiped out and is left behind while Sakura and Sasuke guard the bridge builder with Kakashi. Zabuza returns to finish what he has started which Sasuke sees through right away by defeating his shadow clones. Zabuza referred to the Tracker Ninja as Haku when comparing him and Sasuke as rivals

New Characters:

Haku: A young boy disguised as a tracker ninja for the village hidden in the mist. Zabuza took this boy in young and Haku is now determined to protect him

Thoughts: So the battle has finally begun! I can not wait to see Sasuke and Sakura kick ass on this one. Dissapointing that there is no Naruto this time but oh well. I am kind of concerned about Tsunami and Inari though, they have no protection and Naruto just left. What could happen there? Mhmmm

End: Well I think it is finally time for me to work on an OVA piece before continuing on with season 1. I think that is what I will do now, Until then!

Naruto Season 1 Episode 11: The Land where a Hero Once Lived!

Summary: While Naruto and Sasukes training continues. Sakura guards Tazuna while he builds his bridge. Throughout the day, Sakura begins to realize how much trouble the people of this land are in if the bridge is not finished. At dinner Sakura comments on a torn photo and our heroes learn from Tazuna that Inari's father saved this land once and tried to stop Gatou but was killed in front of the whole village instead. Inari has been bitter ever since. Naruto now is more determined than ever to prove to Inari that heroes still exist. 

Thoughts: Poor Inari :( I feel bad for the kid. No wonder he is the way he is. I do hope that Naruto doesn't kill himself over this training, he is concerning me, though I must say him and Sasukes rivalry is kinda cute if not funny. 

End:  Okay on to Episode 12 if I do not post it up by tomorrow then I have moved on to reading Volume 4. Happy Holidays Everybody!

Naruto Volume 3 Chapters 18 - 27

Summary: Team 7 continues their training in the Land of Waves in order to protect Tazuna while he builds his bridge. Kakashi shows them how to control their chakra efficiently in order to help them in battle. We also meet Tazuna's grandson Inari who's father was killed by Gatous men, leaving the young boy bitter. Naruto is determined to prove to Inari that heroes do exist. Not long after the training is over.. Zabuza returns with Haku, the tracker ninja for round two. Sasuke and Naruto take on Haku but soon realize that he is out of their league with a Kekkai Genkai, a special bloodline jutsu, with a creation of demonic ice mirrors. In the mist of battle, Sasuke gains his Sharingan stopping Haku but at the cost of his own life to save Naruto. Naruto in his anguish becomes this demonic being. Outside the Ice Mirrors, Sakura and Kakashi deal with Zabuza, Zabuza has seen through Kakashi's Sharingan which causes Kakashi to switch tactics.

New Characters:

Inari: Tazuna's grandson, a bitter young boy who witnessed the cruelty of Gatou through his fathers death. He believes that all people who try to step up against him will die and he never fails to tell Naruto and friends that. But after his conversation with Kakashi he might have had a slight change of heart.

Haku: A young boy disguised as a tracker ninja working for Zabuza. Haku has a bloodline limit which allows him to use a special ice jutsu passed down from generation to generation of his family. Zabuza took him in when he was a young boy and he vowed to help Zabuza in anyway he could from that day on.

Thoughts: NOOOO SASUKE!! :'( That just crushed me like a bug, I hope Naruto kicks his ass! Naruto did have quite an eventful time in this book. Dealing with Inari and Focusing on his training. Hes growing better and I love it. I do find it unfortunate that Sasuke had to die right after he realized his birthright ability. I also find it sad that with Sakura's superiority with chakra control she still has yet to do anything for the team. It bothers me to no end. I am curious to see Kakashi's original ability. I wonder what it is and I can't wait to see how round two of this fight turns out. Another concern is that the seal on Naruto seems to be breaking. Is that good? or is it bad? Guess we will have to wait and see.

End: It has been posted a little later that I expected but I got it done before Thursday as promised. Now I am going to watch Episode 11 and post on that as soon as I can. Since it is the holidays I might not get it done by Thursday, if I can't then I will move on to reading Volume 4. Happy Thanksgiving Guys!

Naruto Season 1 Episode 10: The Forest of Chakra

Summary: After bringing Kakashi to Tazunas home, they look back at the battle with Zabuza and realize that he is still alive and that the tracker ninja was saving him. Since Kakashi won't be able to move well for awhile he decides to train our heroes to control their chakra by climbing trees with no hands. Sakura has got it just about down, while Naruto and Sasuke are still working on it. Meanwhile, Tazuna's grandson Inari is convinced that Gatou is going to kill us all and that heroes do not exist in this world.

New Characters:

Inari: Tazuna's grandson, Inari is a little boy with a negative thought process about those who oppose Gatou convinced that everyone will die.

Thoughts: Damn so Zabuza isn't dead after all, insanity I swear. Kakashi made a good call on trying to train Team 7 on chakra control but I do not see how it will help them in another fight against Zabuza. So far I am really impressed with Sakura. She actually has a useful skill, now if only she can apply it. Its is kind of amusing to see her ahead of Naruto and Sasuke at something. The event with Gatou and that tracker ninja is kind of interesting though. It is a sign of what is to come.

End: I think I am going to start reading volume 3 of the book now. :)

Naruto Season 1 Episode 9: Kakashi: Sharingan Warrior

Summary: The battle with Zabuza continues, Sasuke and Naruto save Kakashi who uses his Sharingan to defeat Zabuza with his own jutsus. Right before Kakashi can make the finishing blow, a tracker ninja from the village hidden in the mist takes him out and takes the body. With that our heroes can bring Tazuna back to his home but before they continue on Kakashi passes out.

Thoughts: I love Kakashi, he is amazing. I love how wise he can be, and he is a great teacher for Naruto. You can also see that Naruto has a long way to go mentally after his harsh reality with the tracker ninja. I would like to see some growth with Sakura however. She didn't really do much.

End: On to Episode 10! My goal is to get the next post done before Thursday! Until next time guys!

Naruto Season 1 Episode 8: The Oath of Pain

Summary: The fight between Kakashi and Zabuza continues but Kakashi gets caught in a water prison leaving our heroes to hold they're own against Zabuza's water clone. Naruto and Sasuke work together to save Kakashi while Sakura guards Tazuna. Using a combination of Shuriken and Shadow Clones, the freed Kakashi, and so the battle continues.

Thoughts: This Zabuza guy is no joke. He is crazy powerful to catch Kakashi like that. But I am so proud of Naruto and Sasuke for stepping up and fighting together to save Kakashi. I am kinda disapointed in Sakura's lack of action but I also understand that someone had to stay with Tazuna and protect him. So it works out. Now its a matter of what happens next.

End: I will get to Episode 9 once I get home! Next post will be later tonight!

Naruto Season 1 Episode 7: This Assassin of the Mist

Summary: During the trip to the Land of Waves, Tazuna explains why he wishes to build the bridge. He wishes to help this poor nation who is under the control of a rich crime lord named Gatou. They make it to the Land of Waves and on the way to Tazunas home they get stopped by a rogue ninja named Zabuza Momochi of the Hidden Mist. Kakashi realizes that he is way above team 7s abilities and resorts to using his special Sharingan eye ability. Team 7 also realizes that Kakashi is the man who has copied over a thousand jutsu. And so the battle begins.

New Characters:

Zabuza Momochi: A rogue ninja from the Village Hidden in the Mist. Zabuza specializes in the silent killing techinique and was hired by Gatou to kill Tazuna.

Thoughts: Damn Kakashi is a badass! I love it!, I can't wait to watch this battle unfold. It was kind of unfortunate to watch Sasuke unravel the way he did, but I can understand the shock of realizing that his sensei has the same ability that is very specific to the members of his family which is dead. Anything could happen at this point.

End: In all honesty I already watched Episode 8 so I am going to write that up and post it now. See ya in a few!
