Hey Guys in answer to your question about why is Naruto coming out so many times a month is not because its a quick read or any of the other things noted on the show but for business reasons.

To battle pirate scanlations of the book. In Japan, Naruto was about 15 to 17 volumes ahead of the US trades. Many fans being impatient to get the latest chapters would bootleg the book online. So in order to curb that from happening the publisher is releasing them in such a fast rate to play catch up to the series overseas, so fans around the world get them all at the same time. And once done release them at the same time in Japan as the US. On a side note, it is also being done that was now with anime as well.

big fan of the show, thanks!
