Naruto Cards

Do anybody knows where I can get Naruto cards in Japan? I might be heading to Japan soon this December and I am very interested in collecting the cards. Is it sold in booster packs or promo boxes? How much does each one cost?

I would like to know where I can get the following merchadises in Japan :-

1) Naruto cards
2) Naruto manga
3) Naruto Collector's Book
4) Konoha (or any other hidden village) headprotector
5) Naruto Anime Collection
6) Naruto Character Set (I saw a set here for about US$40 but the paint job wasn't very good)
or any other Naruto items....


Chapter 237 : Fool!

Ok, this is one confusing chapter. Why on earth that Itachi and the Akatsuki people will no longer be chasing after Naruto, at least for the next three years? Just because Sasuke is now with Orochimaru (or going to him now) ? I know Sasuke's body will not be inhabited by Orochimaru at least until another 3 years, because he can only do that jutsu every 3 years but this doesn't make sense. Anyway, why didn't Naruto just aimed at Sasuke's body and knock him out instead of aiming at Sasuke's forehead protector? How is that supposed to win against him? I know Naruto treasures those people who had become his precious people, like Iruka, Kakashi, Sakura and Sasuke but letting Sasuke off will be only one big mess.

Anyway, now that all of the three genins, Sasuke, Sakura and Naruto heading their own ways, Sasuke with Orochimaru, Sakura with Tsunade and Naruto with Jiraiya, I wonder what will happen to Kakashi? Will he go on the trail of revenge for that Obito guy? Kishimoto-sensei did opened this chapter with Kakashi at the memorial stone thinking about Obito, does that have any meaning to it? O, btw, I did not watch the Naruto movie yet because we don't have it in the cinemas here (I'm not in Japan), guess I have to wait for the DVD release, duhh...

Anyway, Hinata should stop waiting for Naruto and get a better guy, she deserves it :P Ok, just kidding, they are a really cute couple :) But I think Sakura will end up saving Sasuke from some life-threatening problems later on (cuz she is training to be a medical personnel under Tsunade now) and Sasuke will end up being grateful to Sakura, but I still think Naruto will be with Sakura in the end.

My theory is :-

1) Sasuke will be the one to beat up Itachi
2) Orochimaru will try and enter Sasuke's body and Naruto will have to face a tough choice of whether to kill Sasuke.
3) Sakura will be there to heal Sasuke when the fight ends.

O, is it just me, or Orochimaru, Tsunade and Jiraiya is kind of the older version of Sasuke, Sakura and Naruto? In this chapter, Jiraiya was also fighting with Orochimaru like how Naruto fight with Sasuke. And Sakura is training to be like Tsunade, a medical personnel. And Tsunade really look like a sexier, adult version of Sakura. Jiraiya is as disguisting as Naruto (Naruto with his Sexy-no-jutsu and Jiraiya with his Come Come Paradise) and as unserious as he is and they both summons frogs while Sasuke is turning into Orochimaru with his taste for power and revenge.
