Naruto, Vol. 17

Kishimoto, Masashi. Naruto, Vol. 17. 2007. 192p. ISBN 9781421516523. Available in the graphic novels section of the library.


Continuing their quest from Naruto, Vol. 16 to locate Tsunada and ask her to return to their village so that Jirayia does not have to become the next Hokage,  Naruto and Jirayia have stopped at a hotel for the night. Hearing a knock on the door, Naruto opens it, only to find himself standing in front of Uchina Itachi, Sasuke's brother. Itachi has been mandated to bring Naruto with him. Sasuke, who wants revenge on his own brother for slaughtering his family, intervenes, but despite his skills he is no match for his brother. Fortunately Jirayia returns at the right time, and manages to trap Itachi and his companion for a few minutes before they successfully escape.

With Sasuke badly hurt, finding Tsunade has become more urgent. Jirayia and Naruto set out to continue Naturo's training while they look for the lady known as the Legendary Loser. Working on his jitsu, Naruto tries to master the art of exploding a water balloon, while Jirayia hunts for any clue as to the whereabouts of Tsunade.

Meanwhile, Orichimari is also looking for Tsunade, as his confrontation with the Fourth Hokage has left him badly injured, and only a healer of her caliber can restore him to full health ... 

The story continues in Naruto, Vol. 18
