Portal:Anime and Manga/Selected lists/21

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of chapters of the Naruto manga, covering the second part of the series, known simply as Part II. Part II is the second half of the Naruto manga, taking place two and a half years after the ending of chapter two hundred and thirty-eight, otherwise known as Part I. The next six chapters were part of a gaiden taking place before the Naruto manga. All subsequent chapters are considered to be part of the Part II storyline. The chapters are written by Masashi Kishimoto and published by Shueisha in the Weekly Shonen Jump magazine.[1]

An anime adaptation of Part II, produced by Studio Pierrot and TV Tokyo, began airing on February 15, 2007 on TV Tokyo under the name Naruto: Shippūden (ナルト 疾風伝? lit. Naruto: Hurricane Chronicles).[2] These episodes began airing after the end of the original Naruto anime, which had been showing filler episodes in order to widen the plot gap between the anime and the manga.[3]
