Hi Everyone!

I'm Mitsuko, the Co-Producer for Naruto Shippuden.  Here's a quick rundown of Naruto Shippuden Box Set 5, which hits stores today.  It includes episodes 274~285. It starts with Naruto and Sakura back in the Leaf after their confrontation with Sasuke in Orochimaru's hideout. We also begin a new story arc with Sora, a young monk in training at the Fire Temple who has a something a little too in common with Naruto, making this box set a great starting point for people who are intimidated by over 400 episodes of Naruto, without starting at episode 1.

One of my favorite episodes in this set is episode 285, Lockdown of Darkness.  We see the Leaf Village thrown into chaos, and the Leaf ninja quickly regrouping and strategizing to defend themselves against the mysterious Shinobi and their terrifying attacks.  Above all you MUST check out the great scene with Shikamaru and Choji in the BBQ Restaurant. Trust me, its awesome.

Hope you guys also check out the Production Art and Omake in the extra features.  I had tons of fun working on them.

Enjoy!
