Naruto, Vol. 8

Far too many genin have passed the deadly second phase of the Chunin Exams, so a series of preliminary one-on-one matches is held to thin the field before the final tournament. Naruto squares off against Kiba Inuzaka in a fight he's not expected to win, while Sakura's rivalry with her friend-turned-rival Ino comes to a head. Each match reveals new sides of the young ninja competing for a place in the finals.
