Naruto Volume 07

Naruto is a ninja-in-training with a need for attention, a knack for mischief, and sealed within him, a strange, formidable power. His antics amuse his instructor Kakashi and irritate his teammates, intense Sasuke and witty Sakura, but Naruto is serious about becoming the greatest ninja in the village of Konohagakure!

Deep within the Forest of Death, the site of the second stage of the Journeyman Ninja Selection Exams, Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura are still reeling from Orochimaru's attack...and now they must battle this unrelenting monster's minions, the mysterious Sound Ninja. As the fight rages on, Sasuke struggles with the strange force growing inside of him, spreading like an infection from the curse-mark Orochimaru burned into his neck, that could leave him dead...or send him on a bloodthirsty quest for power. And time is running out for the student ninja to collect the scrolls they need to pass the test!
