More About NARUTO
The NARUTO franchise is one of the most influential in the world of manga and anime, created by Masashi Kishimoto. The original story follows Naruto Uzumaki, a young ninja who dreams of becoming Hokage, the leader of his village. The main anime, produced by Studio Pierrot, aired a total of 220 episodes starting in Fall 2002, concluding the initial saga.
Following NARUTO's massive success, the story continued with NARUTO: Shippuden, which deepened the conflicts and character growth. The main narrative received a direct sequel with the Boruto: Naruto Next Generations manga and anime, focusing on the adventures of Naruto's son, Boruto Uzumaki, and the new generation of ninjas. The Boruto manga is written by Ukyo Kodachi (and later Masashi Kishimoto) and illustrated by Mikio Ikemoto, supervised by Kishimoto, while the anime is also produced by Studio Pierrot.
In Brazil, fans can watch the original anime and its sequels on streaming platforms like Crunchyroll and Netflix, which offer episodes with Portuguese subtitles and, in many cases, a Brazilian Portuguese dub. Availability varies by season and platform, but Crunchyroll, for instance, is known for hosting most of the franchise's catalog.
