3 stars for this rather lack-lustre next installment in the story of Naruto Uzumaki.
This takes place directly after the events of the previous Box Set 14, set during the Konoha History Arc and sees The Leaf Village (Konoha) trying to re-build and pick up the pieces after being destroyed in an attack.
The Hokage, Tsunade, is still in a coma, having over exerted herself in defense of the village, leaving Danzo in charge, while Team 7 continue with their missions (without Sasuke, who has left the village due to a falling out with Naruto).
At least I think they do. And that is a major part of the problem with this series. There are so many flashbacks and sequences of misty eyed reminiscence that you are almost never sure whether what you are seeing is taking place now or at some undefined point in the past. The only time you can really be sure you are in the present is when they are at the bedside of Tsunade.

This series is the best - I can't wait for the release of Box Set 16 - I heard the episodes are great in this one!
