Great news awaits Naruto fans, but especially those who don’t yet know the work. We’ll give you a tip: That means you shouldn’t overcharge your 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 giants of the genre. Each of his chapters or episodes for the anime was awaited in turn. Now he has given way to Boruto, who is less unanimous without being hated by everyone. Be that as it may, we have some good news to report about the franchise.
Do you want to watch Naruto for free? It is possible
This information is aimed especially at those who have not yet discovered Naruto. It might also interest fans who want to delve into the story again. 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 that’s not all. The 120 episodes of Boruto, the direct sequel to the adventures of the Seventh Hokage’s son. That’s a nice surprise.
If we talk about it today, it is because the SVOD service in question is completely free. There are many programs 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, a significant addition that allows the platform to scare off the competition. In any case, in case we’ve piqued your curiosity and you’re not familiar with either the manga or the anime, here’s a quick synopsis of the plot:
In the village of Konoha lives Naruto, a young boy who is hated and feared by the villagers because he carries an incredibly powerful Kyuubi (nine-tailed fox demon) that has killed a large number of people. Konoha’s most powerful ninja at the time, Minato Namikaze, managed to seal this demon into Naruto’s body. So twelve years later, Naruto dreams of becoming the greatest Hokage of Konoha so that everyone can see his true worth. But the road to becoming Hokage is very long.

Live action is getting closer
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 cannot offer you many other details. Knowing that production had to be delayed due to 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 that it is already very pleasant to participate in their universe and try to tell an interesting story that could satisfy fans like me.
