Naruto Volume 23 Review
Naruto: Volume 23 Review 
All right, I will now assume that Kishimoto does drugs when he writes out the plot for Naruto. To that I will say, keep it up, and your doing a good job. I say that because it’s gets really crazy in this Manga, but it’s still pretty damn good. I actually thought this next Manga would be slower than the rest as of late, but of course again I can’t expect anything from a Manga. First off, this has been my favorite Manga in awhile, as I will now give you a list of reasons why, I get more of Shikamaru’s awesomeness, the new characters are bad ass, the old characters keep growing, the fight scenes are bad ass, the sound ninja are bad ass, and more. To be honest this one holds enough to be two volumes combined, as it holds enough story and action to complete two. I really was surprised, and was actually getting really into it. I remember I had to put it down for a minute, and became extremely agitated I had to wait to find out what happened to Shikamaru, who is now my second favorite characters in this franchise, at least. I can’t wait to find out what happens in the second volume, and I’m really surprised how well this was from what I was expecting. This volume seems to have the old face the new, and build them both by it. Also, it ends well with everyone. Sure Naruto and creepy bone dude (still learning the names of the new guys, sorry) are still fighting, but besides that I feel everyone left on a cool note. I hope the next volume keeps up this.
Naruto: Volume 23 gets a 5/5
Spoilers: Okay, I’ve found out where I stand on Kiba. Kiba is the yamcha of Naruto. I thought this one would go more on his character, but like Yamcha that’s to hard to complete. But like Yamcha, you can make him do cool stuff in order for me to pass him off as a nice character, but in reality there is zero substance. But I jus have to say how amazing Shikamaru is. He fought a monster chick (who is my favorite of the sound ninja) and four fucking giants, and then won by seeing her hand movements. HAND MOVEMENTS! Shikamaru has another god damn good volume and he’s my favorite character, period. I mean in the other volumes I was just wondering how they’d win, and through impossible odds they did, but Shikamaru was never once about to lose, he is a complete bad ass!
