Volume 2 expands on the themes brought up in Volume 1. Naruto is still an almost unlikable brat, but his potential comes out more and more.
Kakashi serves as a teacher both to the reader and to Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke, unfolding tales of the Chakras, the Kage ninja leaders, and other essentials of author Kishimoto's ninja fantasy world. The secret of Kakashi's hidden eye is revealed as well in an awesome battle with The Demon Zabuza.
Everything really starts to take off with this volume. The stage has been set, the characters have been established, and now the ride begins.
