Naruto, Vol. 27 by Masashi Kishimoto

Naruto Uzumaki has just come home and is now in charge of Team 7, which includes Yamato and Sai, who is new to the group. Their first mission together is to find Sasuke Uchiha in the strange Land of Sea. In Volume 27, the stakes are higher as the crew faces treacherous seas and secret agents, as well as pirate-infested waters and hidden ambushes set up by Orochimaru's cult.

Raiga Kurosuki, the Lightning-Blade member of the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist, is a powerful new enemy whose speed and electrified sword skills test Naruto's Wind-Style Rasengan to its limits.

Sai is divided between his secret orders and the friendships he's building with Naruto and Sakura with Yamato's help.

Naruto's raw power, Sakura's medical help, Sai's ink-summoned animals, and Yamato's Wood Release must all work together to get through deadly traps and keep each other safe.

Masashi Kishimoto combines fast-paced naval chases with violent one-on-one fights to demonstrate how Team 7 is growing and how determined Naruto is to get Sasuke home at any cost.
