Synopsis: Team Kakashi is joined by Team Guy in their pursuit of Gaara's kidnappers, Deidara and Sasori, but their way to the Akatsuki hideout is fraught with familiar enemies and deadly traps. Once inside, Sakura and Granny Chiyo must take on Chiyo's own grandson, the puppet master Sasori, whose complex tricks and genius puppetry demand every last ounce of Chiyo's and Sakura's strength and skill to counter. Meanwhile, Naruto and Kakashi take off after Deidara, who is once again on the run with Gaara in tow...

Review: The Naruto Shippuden series is acclaimed and well-known amongst anime fans.  Now, Viz is collecting some of it in this cool new box set.  Its not easy to find good quality anime these days, but Viz does a great job of releasing some of the best shows, like Naruto and Bleach.

In these collected episodes (14-26), Naruto and Kakashi are off seeking revenge, while we see that Granny Chiyo's grandson, Sasori, is a skilled puppetmaster whose skills can only be rivaled by Chiyo herself.  The action sequences and battles are really the stand-out part of the Shippuden series and these episodes are no stranger to these breathtaking scenes.  The story starts to really pick-up and proves why Naruto is one of the best anime franchises out there.

The box set features a great full-color image and three slim DVD cases inside.  Its a great looking set and is most definately worth the money.  We highly recommend this DVD set for any anime fan and most certainly for the fans of Naruto Shippuden!
