Following Naruto and his band of friends as they travel to the Land of Lightning across dangerous seas, the series sees him setting off on his dream to become the next leader of his village.

Along the way, viewers are introduced to a host of colourful characters and plenty of ninja training as the group works toward Genin status.

The episodes have stood the test of time, with the show’s pilot originally airing in 1999. Since then, there have been more than 500 episodes, with four new instalments set to commemorate Naturo’s 20th anniversary this year.

Based on the original manga series by Masashi Kishimoto, the story is full of small details and trivia for hardcore fans to get stuck into.
