Hi there, my beloved friends! This review was a little late, but you know, not everything comes planned as we think, and my weekend was a little busy, but thanks God, I was able to write this review, but this chapter was gold, then a review was a must, and here we are!


The Edited Manga came from Binktopia

Naruto 405 – What he left behind​
[/size]


Is that a cover? Seems more a masterpiece…



Well, first thing: the cover. It was fantastic and perfect, with it; we could pretty much know what would happen this week. That Naruto, walking alone, with closed eyes and a immensurable sadness was perfect, not to mention taht I cannot remember from such cover with so great impact, when I saw it from the first time, I couldn't read the remaining chapter, But I was so excited to see that finally Naruto would receive a good development from this new chain of events. The art was amazing, and so the script. A good start for the chapter!

In the beginning of the chapter, Pa frog finally delivers the code Jiraya wrote in its back. And for my surprise, Tsunade doesn't know what it means, and seems no one from Konoha, as well. I’m relieved to see that Pain wasn’t forgotten just now: with the recent chapters involving Hawk, I was a little afraid that Pain wouldn’t be really a threat by now, but with the code already reaching its destination, there’s no way to just ignore Pain; but still, how he events will be connected is unclear to me, though. But I’ll sticky with my theory: Now that Naruto knows everything, he’ll forget Sasuke a little and will focus in a likely training to become stronger and to honor Jiraya’s sacrifice, then I’m thinking Pain will be the next obstacle and Sasuke will be left as a last enemy, but still there’s the possibility to see Naruto training in another place, and in this meantime, Konoha’s invasion could be the main event: Without Naruto, who is a stronger ally, Konoha would be a little unprotected, and after everything, Naruto would come back just to see a devastated Konoha. But the only thing I’m sure for now is that there’s no way to Kishimoto to skip Naruto’s development, and such thing is what I’m really looking forward!





Naruto, that’s the ninja life, and soon or later you’ll come to understand…




While Tsunade was staring at Pa’s back trying to understand the code, her thoughts were interrupted by Naruto: he was questioning her if she really sent Jiraya to his nemesis. Well, Jiraya really went by his own, but at this time, would be useless to try to say this to Naruto: he would become so angry and probably wouldn’t believe on Tsunade’s words, and could even frame Tsunade, saying she was lying to him. Even with Pa frog saying he’d died because of the code, Naruto didn’t care anything about it, but instead he got nervous with Tsunade. Naruto’s world is crumbling in this moment, but, in the deeps of his heart, he knows that Tsunade isn’t guilty, she’s the Hokage, and even if the missions are risky, she cannot retreat with her decisions, but at this moment, there’re too much in Naruto’s head to just think about it. And even when Kakashi said that he knew about Tsunade’s feelings, we could see clearly an astonished Naruto.

I must say, this chapter was flawless to me! Seeing all of Naruto’s reactions almost make me cry, and Naruto saying to Tsunade that if Jiraya were the Hokage, he would never send Tsunade in a so dangerous mission was perfect: Naruto didn’t have this intention, but still Tsunade will carry the guilty for Jiraya’s death: with all the remembrances from that fateful day in her speech with Jiraya. So much pressure in her backs, and with Naruto’s words, probably she wants to kill herself now. I’m noticing that in the last chapters, Kishimoto is creating a perfect atmosphere filled with drama and sadness, and this chapter is no exception: Jiraya’s death is affecting everyone in Konoha. Sasuke dying right now wouldn’t be so dramatic to Naruto as Jiraya’s death, after all, Jiraya was the closest person to Naruto, and he never lose someone so close in this painful way…

Another interesting detail here is Pa’s reactions toward Naruto: in fact, Naruto is really the child he was expecting to see; probably Pa saw Naruto as a mirror from Jiraya, and in a future, I’m guessing he’ll train Naruto, just like he did with Jiraya. After all, even if Naruto and Jiraya aren’t related, they still look like so much, and only Naruto can tell how painful is being the (probably) worst day in his life is.





Stop, Naruto! Or else, I’ll cry again…





Now that Naruto is alone is where the true pain will begin, the remembrances are strong enough to break a man, but fortunately, Iruka appears and seems he still doesn’t know about the sad news. Iruka said that everyone in Konoha is talking about Naruto, and I couldn’t be happier with this: Naruto will be a Hokage someday! First, the people must respect the Hokage’s candidate, and not only that, the candidate must be well known and very strong to take such title. And even indirectly, Naruto is building his way to Hokage’s name: the people are talking about him, and this is an important step to his final destination; probably the people already now he’s very strong, and right now, he has the potential to give people hopes in their lives, and Naruto has the great power to change people. He’s making his name in the village, and seems that rejected boy from the beginning of the series is no more. Naruto believed in his dream and all of his efforts weren’t in vain, that’s the Naruto we all know, the great Naruto…

But unfortunately, Naruto won’t accept Iruka’s offer, instead, he’ll make to way to his home, and from now, I’ll say to everyone here: we’re about the start the greatest moment I ever saw in Naruto, in my opinion. The second time I saw this part, I even dropped some tears, because this moment was more than perfect. Naruto walking alone, and then, his tears, his face, the moment, the sad eyes, everything was brilliant. When I wrote my past reviews with Itachi and Sasuke, sure they had some sad moments, but nothing from them could compare with this emotional chapter. I, who was complaining about the Naruto’s lack in the manga, haven’t any more reasons to complain, because Naruto is being developed beyond my expectations. I was expecting to see great drama moments regarding Jiraya’s death, but wasn’t expecting so much drama content. Since I began the Naruto’s reviews, almost every single chapter had so drama involved, but I can say for sure that there’s no way to Kishimoto write a more dramatic chapter than this one.





Kishimoto is unstoppable; who will be the next to cry?




And so, Iruka again show up trying to encourage Naruto. The drama still continues with Naruto saying he was trying to do his best in order to be watched by Jiraya, and Iruka said that Naruto must keep his work, because Jiraya will be always at his side. Naruto is dealing perfectly with his emotions, and with this, we can tell exactly why Naruto is the best: His lost was unbearable, but still, he won’t seek revenge and won’t be filled with hatred, but instead, he’ll do his best the honor Jiraya’s name. He’s being too mature in these moments, totally Sasuke’s opposite. Sasuke could be a genius in fights, but Naruto is a genius in every aspect of his life. That’s why he’s the main star and why he’ll become a hokage someday!

Shikamaru was assigned to decipher the code. More I thought about it, more I think the code will bring the biggest revelation to Narutoverse. Probably the code wasn’t addressed to Tsunade, and Jiraya knew that she would use the cryptology squad, and then I don’t think he’ll make some difficult code to be deciphered. But, right now I don’t have the slightly clue about which methods will be used here, but being numbers, I’m inclined to think the code is related with the book mentioned in the prophecy: “you’ll travel over the world, and observing all the creation, watching as Nature takes its course..." probably the book is strongly related with this Nature's course, and so, Pain's true identity;

And like I suspected in the last chapter, alone, Tsunade would be broken. Another great moment, Tsunade couldn’t bear much longer the lost. She needed to do this, more than a Hokage, she’s a human, and it’s normal to cry right now. The chapter was perfect in every aspect, and Tsunade crying just now gave the last shine in the chapter! Oh, and a curious detail: in the last panel, young Jiraya smiling was exactly like Minato and Naruto! Even if they aren’t related, we can see strong resemblances, not only in the face, but in the behavior as well. All of them are strong ninjas with a strong desire to do the right thing, and that’s why they’re perfect as ninja, going beyond the fight aspect!




***Key Points***
  • The code already is in Konoha
  • Naruto and Tsunade crying was perfect
  • The cover was brilliant
  • Jiraya resembles so much Minato

Summary​
[/size]

Perfect, perfect chapter! Naruto and Tsunade crying were perfect, I’m listening some Saint Seiya drama BGM right now(Seiji Yokoyama is the best about drama tracks) and I’m almost crying again; the Naruto we saw here was completely different from the usual Naruto, but the circumstances were responsible for this change; I’m sure from now, Naruto will try to be the best ninja in Konoha, and chances are high that he could be able to do this, because Jiraya’s death will be the perfect fuel; Speaking from Jiraya, his death, no, the consequences were too shocking, and Kishimoto had produced the perfect chapter to it. Now that the code already is in Shikamaru’s hands, I’m sure soon or later they’ll figure it out, but could take a little longer, I think. Now, I’m really looking forward for the next chapter, because something related with the key that Jiraya once told could be up! Ok then, bye bye!
