5 canon episodes and 8 filler. SPOILER FREE REVIEW.
Warning: If you haven't seen the previous boxset ( Set 11), then don't read this review as I'll reference past events.
The previous boxset ended on a major cliffhanger as Madara Uchiha was about to reveal the truth behind Itachi and the motives behind his actions before cruely the DVD ended. Fans had to wait 3 long months for the next box set to find out what happens in the episode titled " Truth", which finally explains what really happened that fateful night, whilst also answering some other of thoses questions long term viewers had about Itachi.
Unfortunately, for those who have been waiting for this boxset, then there is some bad news - 8 of the 13 episodes in this set are filler. Depending on your opinion on Naruto filler, this may not be a bad thing. But when the canon episodes are of such majestic quailty, and the story in such a irresistible moment, then I can't help but feel they weren't needed.

After this volume, life for Naruto and Sasuke will never be the same! A recommended Set 12 for "Naruto Shippuden" fans!
In "Naruto Shippuden DVD Set 12 - Original & Uncut", it is important to note that the episodes featured in DVD Set 12 covers the final episodes of "Naruto Shippuden" Season six as Naruto and his team take on the Eight Tails and learning from Madara of why his older brother Itachi massacred their family and the Uchiha clan and now this information will forever change Sasuke.
For episode 144-151, this was a shortened season seven and aired from January through March 2012 in Japan. This season features Lady Tsunade sending Team 7 and Yamato to assist Utakata and Hotaru after they learn that a clan known as Tsuchigumo and an elder named En no Gyoja developing a forbidden Jutsu.
It is revealed that Utakata is a Jinchuriki and he carries the Six-Tailed Demon Slug and a man named Shiranami is trying to kidnap Hotaru to be used as a vessel to collect natural chakra energy to release the forbidden jutsu.
Naruto and Team 7 must find a way to protect Hotaru from...
Half Filler Episodes Half Manga
Like with some of these sets you'll have a mixture of episodes that deal with what's happening in the manga series and the other half which is filler episodes so that the spacing between the anime and manga remains constant. Luckily we do get to see the introduction of another endearing and entertaining character of the series Killer Bee the 8 tails Jinchūriki and witness both his impressive fighting abilities and less then impressive rapping abilities.Also while the other episodes are fillers we do get a little back story of another Jinchūriki the 6 tails, probably to give some history to the other Jinchūriki to more humanize them. You'll get some Sasuke time as well as Tobi gives a somewhat biased history of the actions of Itachi and his reasons for exterminating his clan with the exception of his younger brother which I felt was a waste since Sasuke has turned out to be such a traitorous piece of garbage that hopefully Naruto realizes deserves nothing but a painful...
