Here's the thing with naruto...it has pacing issues.

This volume has everyone in their units now working towards their own goal. But it feels like it moves at a slower paced than needed. Luckily though when Sasuke finally gets to fighting bird man and Obito the fight picks up the pace in the best way giving us a damn entertaining fight. But the whole moppy thing, planning slowly, and not getting much done this volume is a little annoying till then. A 3 out of 5.
