The attack on the Leaf Village intensifies, and Naruto's transformation into the Nine-Tailed Fox reaches a critical level. With eight tails already emerged, Naruto makes a surprising discovery that changes everything. His confidence buoyed, Naruto seeks a face-to-face meeting with Nagato, the Pain responsible for the massive destruction in the village. Can one boy's will alter destiny...?

Naruto Shippuden: Box Set 14 features episodes 167-179, which are taken from the tail end of season 8 (2010) and the first handful of episodes from season 9 (2010 - 2011).

Disc one contains the episodes: Planetary Devastation; The Fourth Hokage; The Two Students; Naruto Shippuden: Special - Big Adventure! - The Quest for the Fourth Hokage's Legacy - Part 1; The Quest for the Fourth Hokage's Legacy - Part 2; Meeting; and Origin of Pain.

On disc two we have The Tale of Naruto Uzumaki; and Hero of the Hidden Leaf (which concludes season 9). Season 10 opens with Rookie Teacher Iruka; Iruka's Ordeal; Iruka's Decision; and Kakashi Hatake, The Jonin in Charge.

In this collection Naruto learns who his father is, discovers that he has more in common with the Pain clan and we flash back to Naruto's early days in training.

Extras include Production Art and Trailers. This collection is more interesting than most as it revisits events of the past giving fans a slightly different perspective.
