As Season Five (2004-2005) of the runaway hit Naruto gets underway, the magical jutsu grow more powerful, the chakra flies, and minor characters come to the fore. Wounded pride and a thirst for revenge lead Sasuke to accept an offer four ninja from the Sound Village bring from Orochimaru. To strengthen the power of curse mark on his neck, Sasuke swallows a potentially deadly drug and enters a trance. The Sound Ninja seal him in a drum-like coffin and take him away. Naruto is joined on the rescue mission not by Sakura--whom Sasuke cruelly rejects when she tries to persuade him to stay in the Hidden Leaf Village--but by Shikamaru, Choji, Kiba, and Neji. The quintet pursues the Sound Ninja, who employ exotic, deadly techniques, including an army of supernatural spiders. During a confrontation, Naruto and Shikamaru learn how Sasuke fits into Orochimaru's schemes: having mastered the jutsu of immortality, the evil ninja needs to find a new body before his old one decays completely. Sasuke, with his exceptional talents, is the ideal vessel for Orochimaru's soul. Season Five has a more somber tone than the previous episodes: Naruto has little time for jokes, ramen, or boasting. But fans of the series won't want to be without this set. The Special Edition includes a Special Limited Edition Collectible Figure of the Summoning Creature Manda. Rated T+ Older Teen; suitable for ages 12 and older: violence, grotesque imagery) --Charles Solomon

 The Road Towards The End August 13, 2008
Vicente Rodriguez Jr. (phoenix)
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
I have seen these episodes and I was extremely moved and shocked. Most of the characters face their demons and try to just survive. I was saddened at the thought of these beloved character facing certain death. The way they would risk their life's for a comrade that has gone missing. It felt very natural and realistic, my bond with these characters was growing increasingly over these life-changing episodes that featured many mature themes that I thought this series wouldn't dare show. The realization that life is so short, so unpredictable, so cruel, for these ninjas. This box set should be on every Naruto fans DVD collection. This volume will shock many and maybe haunt you. This isn't just a TV show it's a journey. If you have seen these episodes you know the contents aren't for the faint of heart. If you are an avid naruto fanatic this box set is a must for you. I own a few and let me tell you they are worth the money I paid and they are apart of my collection. So if you are a fan this box set is a steal for just thirty bucks don't wait another minute purchase this Box Set. Trust me this won't disappoint.
 Beginning of the final story arc August 17, 2008

Volume 9 of the Uncut Box Set stays true to form. Everything from the previous box sets will be presented and displayed in pretty much the exact same ways containing 14 (mostly) filler free episodes over three discs in a 4x5x5 episode format. It contains a storyboard book that gives storyboard sketches for an episode of the show. Something similar can be seen in the extras on disc three, where they take eight scenes/pages from the storyboard booklet and play the animated scenes matching them.
The story for the disc essentially begins the Sasuke Retrieval arc of the story, the final arc before the manga took its hiatus and restarted several years later with Naruto Shippuuden. Sasuke is finally too frustrated with his progress in Konoha. And when tempted by Orochimaru's bodyguards agrees to leave and seek his tutelage.
The next day when this is discovered, the village leader, Tsunade commands Shikamaru, and whatever shinobi he can find, to go and retrieve Sasuke. He leaves with Naruto, Neji, Choji and Kiba and Akamaru. So begins a long chase scene, where the Leaf shinobi face off with Orochimaru's Sound Four one by one to get to Sasuke. While there is plenty of action, it is also tempered by the many flashback scenes. When the characters come near death, we end up seeing EVERY scene they've ever been in. And while it is somewhat understandable, seeing as this may be the last time these characters are seen alive, it is a bit too much.
Overall, I'd have to say that Viz did not drop the ball on this. Any complaints I have are with the show's presentation, not the story or package design. You get a lot of action packed drama filled episodes for a VERY good price. If you've enjoyed the show up to this point you are not going to be disappointed, and I highly recommend it.
 Sasuke Retrieval Arc May 19, 2010

Naruto Uncut Box Set 9 is a three DVD disc set that contains episodes one hundred and seven through one hundred and twenty of Naruto. The first disc contains four episodes, the second disc contains five episodes, and the third disc contains five episodes and the special features.
The first extra is labeled as "Production Art." This consists of fifteen pages, which are model sketches of some of the Naruto characters. There is a sneak preview for Naruto Uncut Box Set 10, which runs for roughly three minutes; it should be noted that the audio for the preview is mastered lower than the episodes on the disc. Next is "From Sketch to Screen," which contains eight pages of storyboards from episode one hundred and twelve. For each storyboard, you can choose to see the clip that the storyboard is for. You can also see the English credits in the "Extras" menu.
Next in the extras menu is a selection labeled as "New From Viz Media." This link takes you to advertisements for Shonen Jump Magazine, the Naruto manga, and two pages featuring other Shonen Jump manga titles. A link in the extras menu labeled as "Trailers" takes you to a set of trailers. There are trailers for the Naruto: Ninja Destiny video game, the Naruto: Clash of Ninja Revolution video game, Bleach, The Prince of Tennis, Buso Renkin, Hunter x Hunter, and Death Note.
The special features are exactly what I expect after seeing the exact same things on the previous eight box sets; however, I still can't help but feel a little disappointed that Viz Media feels the need to have such "cookie cutter" extras included on these DVD box sets. However, if you're a Naruto fan that wants to collect all of the episodes on DVD, then the Naruto Uncut Box Set 9 would be a good addition to your DVD library.
In order to write this review, I checked out a copy of this DVD box set through the King County Library System.
The start to the best season of Naruto is great January 24, 2010
Elba M. Valdez (Los Angeles, California)
In the Naruto Uncut box set 9, everything revolves around the retrieval of Sasuke. It is one of the most action packed seasons full of intense battles and is something i would recommend to anyone who watches anime.
TOTALLY AWESOME!!! August 30, 2009
James R. Isaac (usa)
This was the most awesomeness uncut dvd of anruto ever because there was so much cussing and bloody scenes and i personally think that the uncut version is the best on the earth and its very different then on tv. I really wish this was on adult swim first than stupid cartoon network, but the episodes were all awesome and so was the battles with the sound four!! 5/5 and worth buying
