Naruto Shippuden 1st Edition
NBCC-134 to NBCC-139 - Kawada Nanoblock
The Nanoblock Character Collection Series presents models from the smash hit anime series Naruto Shippuden. This is the full set of 6 models from the 1st Edition of these character models.
NBCC-134 Naruto Uzumaki is the titular protagonist of the manga Naruto, created by Masashi Kishimoto. He is a ninja from the fictional Hidden Leaf Village. As a boy, Naruto is ridiculed and ostracised on account of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox—a malevolent creature that attacked Konohagakure—that was sealed away in his body.
After joining Team Kakashi, Naruto worked hard to gain the village's acknowledgement all the while chasing his dream to become Hokage. In the following years, through many hardships and ordeals, he became a capable ninja, regarded as a hero both by the villagers and soon after the rest of the world becoming known as the Hero of the Hidden Leaf.
The model stands approximately 3.14 inches tall and consists of 180 pieces and is a Level 2 build.
NBCC-135 Sasuke Uchiha belongs to the Uchiha clan, a notorious ninja family, and one of the most powerful, allied with Konohagakure (Hidden Leaf Village). Most of its members were massacred by Sasuke's older brother, Itachi Uchiha, before the series began, leaving Sasuke one of the few living. Despite becoming empathetic toward his teammates Naruto Uzamaki and Sakura Haruno, Sasuke's feelings of powerlessness force him to abandon his friends and his home in his quest to become stronger, and to find Orochimaru.

NBCC-136 Sakura Haruno is depicted as a kunoichi affiliated with Konohagakure (Hidden Leaf Village) and a part of Team 7, which consists of herself, Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha and their sensei Kakashi Hatake.
Sakura is depicted as an innocent girl who does not share the same tragic backstories as her teammates but was regardless bullied throughout her youth. She initially has an infatuation for Sasuke, praising him at every juncture, and is initially unambitious aside from becoming Sasuke's girlfriend; by contrast, she is dismissive to her less-skilled teammate Naruto Uzumaki despite, ironically, being Naruto's initial love interest. Over the course of the series, as Sasuke eventually leaves the village, Sakura begins to shed this singularly driven persona, becoming an elite medical ninja while apprenticed under the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade, and becomes friendly and even protective of Naruto as his life becomes increasingly at risk.

NBCC-137 Kakashi Hatake is the teacher of Team 7, consisting of the series' primary characters, Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno. Kakashi's past has been extensively explored in the series, resulting in a gaiden being devoted to his past experiences.
Kakashi is depicted in Naruto as an eccentric but highly skilled shinobi for the Hidden Leaf Village. Initially cold and calculated due to the suicide of his father, Sakumo, Kakashi eventually began to warm up in his youth with the help of his teammate Obito Uchiha, while they are under the tutelage of Naruto's father Minato Namikaze. It is through Obito that Kakashi obtains the Uchiha clan's Sharingan, which he uses to copy the abilities of his opponents and make his own, but also drains his energy. Following the deaths of all of his squad mates, unaware of Obito's survival, Kakashi is eventually given charge of Team 7 due to his connections with Minato and the Uchiha, and through them is able to finally have the family he never had.

NBCC-138 Itachi Uchiha is the older brother of Sasuke Uchiha, and is responsible for killing all the elder members of their clan, sparing only Sasuke. He appears working as a terrorist from the organisation Akatsuki and serves as Sasuke's greatest enemy. During the second part of the manga, Itachi becomes involved in attacks to ninjas possessing tailed-beast creatures (Jinchuriki) until facing Sasuke in a one-on-one battle. Although Itachi perishes during the final duel, it is later revealed that Itachi had a secret reason for assassinating the Uchiha clan.
He is considered by many to be one of the best characters in the series. His appearance as an antagonist has been praised by several writers, although some have considered his initial appearance to be unsurprising. The gradual revelations of his past and its impact on the story has also received positive reception, and his fights were noted to be "one of the best" in the series.
The model stands approximately 3.14 inches tall and consists of 180 pieces and is a Level 2 build.
NBCC-139 Jiraiya, originally known as Ogata Shuma Hiroyuki is the toad-riding protagonist of the Japanese folk tale Katakiuchi Kidan Jiraiya Monogatari, The Tale of the Gallant Jiraiya. The tale was originally a Yomihon that was published in 1806–1807, and was adapted into a serialised novel that was written by different authors and published in 43 instalments from 1839 to 1868; one of its illustrators was woodblock artist Kunisada. Kawatake Mokuami then wrote a kabuki drama based on the first ten parts of the novel, which premiered in Edo in 1852, starring Ichikawa Danjuro VIII in the leading role.
