Naruto, Vol. 17

I'm surprised that with all the Naruto fans that no one has left a review yet. Well I guess since I own the manga and love it dearly I can give an overview [spoiler alert to those who have not read this manga yet] At the end of manga 16 Jiraiya and Naruto set off to locate Tsunade and return her to the village to become the 5th Hokage. Jiraiya goes off somewhere and leaves Naruto alone in their room at the inn and two Akatsuki members show up at the room door. In the mean time, Sasuke, who has a personal vendetta to fill, rushes to find the Akatsuki members tracking Naruto, one of which happens to be Sasuke's older brother Itachi. A fight between Sasuke and Itachi [the first of few] takes up the first four chapters. In the fifth chapter we come to find out Tsunade is a compulsive gambler and Jiraiya and Naruto are closing in on her location. In the sixth chapter Jiraiya introduces Naruto to the technique next on Naruto's to do list, The Rasengan. The seventh chapter is mainly Naruto coming up with ideas on how to pass the first part of his training. Eighth the difficulty increases for Naruto and we see his desire for a family he never had. And in the final chapter we see a plot conspiring in Orochimaru's lair. And Tsunade "the legendary loser" wins a line of sevens witch to her bodes misfortune.
