Naruto Volume 5: The Challengers

How do you follow the massive battle sequence that was Volume 4? With a test of ninja skills obviously! A written test of ninja skills is a little less expected. I wasn't sure that I was going to enjoy this volume as much as I actually did but Kishimoto was able to build up the narrative into a satisfying pay off. Naruto's speech about question 10 had me laughing out loud. Now I can't wait to see how they'll fare in the second part of the exam.

I'm giving it a 4.
