Whatever else you can say about this one, it feels and reads like a brand new series. Two years have passed. Nostalgia abounds, and what a funny sequence it was.

So much has changed, and everyone has risen in the world, new ranks, new skills... and Naruto alone of his class has remained a lowly genin. Never mind that he's been training with a legendary sage. He's still far, far behind the rest of his peers.

The dichotomy is pretty amusing, since he's the most powerful among them.

New story arc! Things are moving quick now. ( )
