List of Naruto chapters (Part II, volumes 49–72)

Last updated

The plot of the Naruto manga series, written and illustrated by Masashi Kishimoto, is divided in to two; the second part is known as Part II. [1] [2] The series is about the eponymous character Naruto Uzumaki who wants recognition and respect from the fellow villagers, and to become the Hokage, the leader of Konohagakure. Part II, set two-and-a-half years after the conclusion of Part I, follows the return of the ninja Uzumaki to Konohagakure from two-and-a-half years of training. As he returns, he continues his goal of convincing his best friend Sasuke Uchiha to return with him and his other friends back to Konohagakure.

Contents

Naruto was published in individual chapters by Shueisha in Weekly Shōnen Jump and later collected in tankōbon format with extra content. The manga series was first published in issue 43 of 1999, with Part II beginning in issue 19 of 2005. [1] Volume 49 was published on January 4, 2010, and the final volume, 72, was published on February 4, 2015. [3] [4]

An anime adaptation of Part II, produced by Studio Pierrot and TV Tokyo, premiered on February 15, 2007, on TV Tokyo as Naruto: Shippuden (NARUTO -ナルト- 疾風伝, Naruto: Shippūden, literally, Naruto: Hurricane Chronicles). The episodes began airing immediately after the end of the original Naruto anime, which had been showing filler episodes to widen the plot gap between the anime and the manga. [5]

The English version (serialization) of the Naruto manga, licensed by Viz Media, is published in North America in the Weekly Shonen Jump digital magazine [6] and was originally serialized in the defunct monthly Shonen Jump print magazine. English-language trade volumes are published digitally and in print on Viz Media's Viz Manga website. To compensate for occasional gaps between the manga's Japanese and English adaptations, Viz Media has periodically published several volumes in a short period of time. [2] [7] Volume 49 was published in English on October 5, 2010, and volume 72 on October 6, 2015. [8] [9] The third box set containing the volumes from the second half of Part II was released in the United States by Viz Media on January 5, 2016. [10]

They part, with Sasuke joining Madara and Naruto returning to Konoha with Sakura and Kakashi (taking Karin prisoner). The factions prepare for the future and Tsunade, awakening from her coma, reluctantly agrees with the other Kage to send Naruto and Bee into hiding on Bee's island to keep them safe from the Akatsuki.

Kushina tells Naruto how she and Minato fell in love and how the demon fox was originally sealed in her; Madara Uchiha used the fox to attack Konoha, and Kushina and Minato (believing that Naruto would defeat Madara) gave their lives to seal the fox's power in him.

To keep Konoha from obtaining intelligence about the Akatsuki from him, Kisame commits suicide and sends the information he has gathered to Madara.

When he receives Kisame's information, Madara sends Kabuto Yakushi (who is allied with the Akatsuki) to capture Bee and Naruto. They are too well-defended, so Kabuto kidnaps Yamato.

Obito sought rehabilitation to rejoin his team, and learned that Kakashi and Rin were in danger. When he found them, Obito saw Kakashi kill Rin while they were surrounded by enemies. Obito saved Kakashi and began sharing Madara's goal of an illusionary world so the "cycles of the world" could be broken.
