Naruto, Vol. 9

In the thick of the Journeyman Ninja Selection Exams, the student ninja unleash their signature techniques in a series of elimination matches. Naruto looses an explosive new move on his foe, and when Hyuga clan members Neji and Hinata are pitted against one another, old family grudges threaten to surface.
Twelve years ago, a giant fox demon with nine tails attacked the ninjya village of Konohagakure. Defeated by the Hokage, the village champion, the mighty demon's soul was sealed into the body of an innocent orphan child, Naruto Uzumaki. Now Naruto is a 12-year-old ninjya in-training, struggling to be the best with his classmates Sasuke and Sakura.
