If you're already reeling from the previous mammoth battle between Naruto and Sasuke, then I'm glad I'm not alone as this is a nice ending to what has been an amazing series of box sets since the earlier series I remember reviewing all those years ago - and yes, it's been a while.

Back in set 37 Sasuke and Naruto had their big fight which for me looked like the shinobi smackdown of the century. When it was all over Kakashi managed to get Sakura to the both of them to start a tricky healing process where despite Naruto being beaten to a pulp gets a bit chatty.

They both look in bad shape but Sakura got the apology she was looking for since early on when he left the village. Now that Naruto and co are older and wiser, Sasuke is back and acts as a protector of the leaf village facing off against villains that would later pose a threat to them in Boruto. He is complete with new hairdo and cloak plus new moody look.

I would never have believed that Sasuke would turn out like Ichigo Kurosaki from Bleach a protector of his village but the moodier look suits him and he's got Sakura back on side. Did I say Kakashi has been made Hokage? I don't think he wanted the title or the responsibility though.

While the first disc concentrates on new foes being introduced ready for later on in Boruto the second disc is about Naruto and Hinata's impending wedding with episodes that have a rather touching as well as an amusing account of who wants to get them the best presents. This final set to the series is the perfect transition to Boruto.


Bonus Material: Clean Opening, Endings and Trailers.

Summary: This is the end of Naruto's story, but it's also the start of a cool new series starring Boruto and his friends.
