NARUTO Shippuden

The main story of "Naruto: Shippuden" describes the events that occur after Naruto Uzumaki and Jiraiya return from two and a half years of training. The three-year deadline mentioned by Akatsuki has arrived, and its members have begun to act, appearing one by one to engage in the most intense battles with the protagonists... Before we knew it, "Naruto" had been running for seven years. Naruto grew from an unlucky dead-last student into a ninja capable of standing on his own. He progressed step by step from a reckless, simple-minded heroic protagonist toward becoming a master of the Ninja Way. Fighting for friendship, love, recognition, and his own ninja way without looking back for a full seven years, he grew at the speed of a gale. Along with celebrations, there is good news! In early spring 2007, the anime returned to following the manga closely, entering the second part. The lengthy and tedious TV anime finally aligned with public sentiment and got back on track. Shippuden refers to the story that takes place three years after Sasuke leaves to join Orochimaru, so Shippuden can also be understood as Part II of "Naruto."
