The cover of the twenty-eighth volume of the Naruto manga, as well as the first tankōbon of the Part II storyline, was released in the United States by Viz Media on March 4, 2008.

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]

The English adaptation of the Naruto manga is licensed by Viz Media and published in the United States Shonen Jump.[1] In order to compensate for the gap between the Japanese and English adaptations of the manga, Viz Media announced its "Naruto Nation" campaign, where it would release three volumes a month in the last four months of 2007 in order to close said gap.[4]

In order for Team 7 to gain entry to the Akatsuki lair, Team Guy is forced to split up in order to take down a barrier over the entrance. Though they accomplish this task, the members of Team Guy are forced to deal with a number of booby traps left for them. Team 7, meanwhile, finds Sasori and Deidara to be the only Akatsuki members remaining. Deidara flies off with Gaara's body, leading Naruto and Kakashi away and leaving Sakura and Chiyo to deal with Sasori. Sasori, a master of puppetry, uses a number of different puppets to attack the two. Sakura's immense strength and Chiyo's own skills with puppetry, however, are more than capable of dealing with his puppets.

After Naruto gains proper control over the wind element, Kakashi tells him that creating his own unique attack will require mixing wind with his Rasengan. As Naruto struggles to accomplish this task, a Niju Shotai team consisting of Shikamaru Nara and Asuma Sarutobi finds Hidan and Kakuzu. Although they are quickly able to deliver a fatal blow to Hidan, it becomes apparent that Hidan cannot be killed by normal means. Hidan is soon able to "link" himself to Asuma, causing any damage he receives to be transferred to Asuma. As such, Hidan tries to stab himself in the heart, which would kill Asuma yet leave himself unfazed. Shikamaru does his best to prevent this, though Hidan ultimately proves successful. As reinforcements arrive the Akatsuki duo is driven off, and the Niju Shotai members return home to bury Asuma.

Cover character(s)
Though able to capture one of the six, Jiraiya is unable to defeat Pain's other five bodies. Knowing this will be the only chance to learn the secret behind Pain, he sends the captured body to Tsunade and, doubting that Pain is actually Nagato, goes to investigate the Akatsuki leader's true identity. Jiraiya succeeds and sends his discovery to Naruto and the rest of Konoha, but dies of the wounds he sustains. Elsewhere, Sasuke meets with Itachi, leaving Snake behind to deal with his partner, Kisame. As Naruto and company near their location, Tobi steps in to stall them so that the two brothers can fight uninhibited. The battle between Sasuke and Itachi commences, and Sasuke is able to use his years of hate to push Itachi to his limits.
