Naruto volume 40 and 41

   I'm currently reading Naruto volume 41. I'm behind on the manga and anime, but I already know what is going on because I skim through the new chapters.                                                                                          

   

   In the previous volume, I know most of us know who Naruto's parents are(I already knew who they are since it came out online), Jiraiya and Tsunade went to bar to drink some sake and talk. At first Tsunade said she was busy with her work because she is the 5th Hokage, but in the end she went.  In the bar Jiraiya was talking about what information he found about the location of  Akatsuki  which was in the Village Hidden in the Rain. He was going to a top-secret mission to investigate the leader of the Akatsuki, Pain. Tsunade didn't like the idea on sending Jiraiya alone to the Village Hidden in the Rain, and wanted him to wait on backup. After they left the bar they started talking once again, Tsunade mentions that Naruto is similar to his father,Minato(the 4th Hokage). Jiraiya on the other hand, said that Naruto wasn't similar to his father, but that he just look like him and that Naruto takes after his mother. Tsunade corrected herself and said that Naruto has his mother, Kushina's fighting style. Jiraiya mentions that he consider Minato like a son and consider Naruto like grandson.

  

   Meanwhile Sasuke is fighting Deidara, who at the end self destruct to kill Sasuke causes a big explosion that is felt by Karin and seen by Team Hebi, Team Kakashi, Yamato, Hinata, Kiba, Shino, and Akamaru. Suigetsu summons Manda and Sasuke came out, but Manda died because he took the force of the explosion. As Sasuke is healing in the hotel room, Karin comes running in saying the she senses some chakra heading their direction and they decide to leave before Team Kakashi and the rest reach them. Naruto runs into Itachi who only wants to talk to him and not capture him. The talk was about Sasuke and why Naruto was so obsessed on saving Sasuke.

  

   On volume 41, what I read so far is Jiraiya turned one of the rain ninjas into a frog. While the other rain ninja didn't want to turn into a frog; told Jiraiya what he knew about Pain. He left the belly of the frog leaving the rain ninja alone to go to another room to summon a scroll frog(it has the key written on his belly for Naruto's seal) that comes out of his mouth. They have a conversion about Naruto's seal becoming weaker every year that passes; and that the 4th seal the 9 tails into his son for a reason. That's how far I got on volume 41.
