Naruto, Vol. 53: The Birth of Naruto (Naruto Graphic Novel)

---

And as we see Sasuke sacrifice one who is loyal and committed to him, we must wonder if Sasuke has gone too far down the path of vengeance to ever come home. As we reach the end of volume 51, we see first-hand how far Sasuke has truly fallen. Kakashi and Sasuke face off, each ready to kill the other. And as Sasuke stands with a wild look in his eyes and hate in his heart, Kakashi realizes that this scene is much like that of the Third Hokage standing against his own student, Orochimaru--in a battle that left both student and teacher destroyed.

I've been reading along, expecting to learn that Sasuke's fall toward evil was only a front--and that he actually had a much nobler plan beneath it all. But at this point, it appears that Sasuke really IS as evil as his actions seem to indicate. But Masashi Kishimoto has a special skill with plot reversals, so there's still hope.

Not to mention, it would be a huge disappointment for Sasuke's fate to be revealed in black and white--once and for all, with no hope of salvation. This is not the path of greater conflict--and conflict is what creates interesting story. I'm biding my time until volume 52 comes out in September, and hoping for "the best". Volume 51 is hard-hitting and full of action. It definitely does not disappoint!

Naruto Vol 51 covers material that was covered in Shonen Jump issues , or the chapters, A Hokage's Decision Madera's True Worth Do Not Speak of Itachi The Death of Danzo Just One More Time Master and Student Reunited!

As usual it will be as spoilerfree as possible. The highlight of Naruto, and particularly this volume, is honestly the tie of friendship and how friends respond to these event. Naruto, is, as everyone knows Sasuke's best friend. However, when Naruto receives news that Sasuke is a rouge ninja of sorts, and if we recall, under some manipulation of sorts by Madara, Naruto deliberates what he must do.

However his time is cut short as he receives news on both ends of the spectrum, that is, what the Kage Summit decided to do on Sasuke as well as what the Hidden Leaf, specifically his friends intend to do. Gaara implores Naruto to think hard about what he would do, as a friend, and how a friend would respond to Sasuke. Meanwhile, with additional knowledge of what his friends in hidden leaf will do, Naruto is conflicted, confused, and ultimately, driven by his desire to do whatever it takes to bring Sasuke back, driven to a fit of hyperventilation, its too much.

How does Naruto respond? Well, I found it quite interesting and thus you must check it out.

Asking what she is doing here, Kushina responds to him by stating she intends to use the last of her chakra to pull the fox back to her with her so the it will die with her. Minato prepares to use the seal away the fox , telling Kushina he'll conserve her chakra to give her a chance to see Naruto one last time as the death god hovers ominously over him. Kushina protests the use of the Dead Demon Consuming Seal , asking Minato why he is sacrificing himself so she can meet Naruto for a few minutes when he's older.

He convinces her that it's the right thing to do because "he could never substitute for her". The death god grabs the Nine-Tails but seals only half of it.

Minato summons Gerotora and gives him the key to the seal he's about to put on Naruto. In the present, Kushina apologises to Naruto for not being there, and he tells her he didn't know what a parent's love was like, but he managed. Naruto thanks his parents for making him their son and tells them that his vessel is full of love from the both of them. As Kushina fades away, she thanks him for letting her and Minato be his parents and thanks him for being born to them.

I've been reading Naruto for over ten years now this fact occasionally alarms me, but then I tell myself that I'm not really old, I just had the good fortune to have Shonen Jump to read as a teenager , and though I often fall behind on Naruto, I always come back to it eventually.

Volume 53 is a great example of just why that is.
