Excellent news awaits Naruto fans, but especially those who do not yet know the work. We’ll give you a hint: this means not heating up the credit card.
If you are asked which shōnen are the most famous, you will probably answer Dragon Ball, One Piece, Bleach, My Hero Academia, but also Naruto. For a long time, he was one of the juggernauts of the genre. Each of its chapters, or episode for the anime, was awaited at the turn. Now, he has given way to Boruto, who is less unanimous, without being hated by everyone. Either way, we have some good news to report regarding the franchise.
Want to watch Naruto for free? It’s possible
This information is especially aimed at those who have not yet discovered Naruto. Afterwards, it may also interest fans who want to dive back into the story. For good reason, the TF1+ platform has just added anime to its catalog. And be careful, we’re not just talking about the 220 episodes of the first part. All 500 episodes of Shippuden are also accessible, but it doesn’t stop there. The 120 episodes of Boruto, the direct sequel following the adventures of the son of the seventh Hokage. This is a nice surprise.
If we’re talking about it today, it’s because the SVOD service in question is completely free. Many programs are available, for example the Hobbit trilogy, Limitless or the excellent Gladiator. As you can see, there is something for everyone. From now on, this selection is joined by Naruto, which is a significant addition, allowing the platform to scare off the competition. In any case, if we have piqued your curiosity, and you are not familiar with the manga or the anime, here is a short summary of the plot:
In the village of Konoha lives Naruto, a young boy hated and feared by the villagers, due to the fact that he holds within him Kyuubi (nine-tailed fox demon) of incredible strength, who has killed a large number of people. Konoha’s most powerful ninja at the time, Minato Namikaze, managed to seal this demon in Naruto’s body. This is how twelve years later, Naruto dreams of becoming the greatest Hokage of Konoha so that everyone will recognize his true worth. But the road to becoming Hokage is very long.

A live-action is approaching
As a reminder, Masashi Kishimoto’s work has another surprise in store: live-action. After numerous failures, the One Piece series on Netflix showed that we could deliver a good live-action adaptation. In this case, Naruto’s was announced 10 years ago. However, the construction site only seems to be in full swing for a short time. Last November, Vanity Fair told us that Tasha Huo was working on the project on behalf of Lionsgate. We don’t have many additional details to offer you. Knowing that production had to be delayed by the writers’ and actors’ strike in Hollywood.
Adapting iconic characters makes writing easier, because the passion for writing is already there. I am so inspired by these characters, it is already very pleasant to participate in their universe by trying to tell an interesting story that could satisfy fans, like me.
