Naruto is an anime adaptation of Naruto manga directed by Hayato Date.
History
Directed by Hayato Date and produced by Pierrot studios, together with TV Tokyo, the Naruto anime adaptation premiered in Japan on October 3, 2002. With a total of 220 episodes, the first part finished its broadcasts on February 8 of 2007. The first 135 episodes (with some exceptions as the chapters from 101 to 106) were adapted from the first 27 manga volumes, while the rest (85 episodes) are filler stories that use unpublished elements that do not appear in the manga. In turn, this part of the anime tells the adventures of Naruto Uzumaki with Sakura Haruno, Sasuke Uchiha and his sensei Kakashi Hatake (known as in Team 7), while fulfilling certain ninja missions and serving Konohagakure, until the time comes in which Sasuke is convinced by Orochimaru to avenge his clan, which was disintegrated by his brother Itachi Uchiha, so he abandons his native village in an act of treason. For this reason, Naruto leaves the village along with Jiraiya to train and try to bring Sasuke back home. In Japan, Aniplex distributes the series on DVD for Region 2. On the other hand, Viz Media holds the license for distribution in Region 2.
