The Naruto series is one of the most well-known franchises worldwide. The series follows a young ninja named Naruto Uzumaki, who strives to become the Hokage of his village, the Hidden Leaf. Although he has the Nine-Tailed Fox sealed inside him and is shunned because of it, he works hard to become strong.

Together with the sequel series Naruto Shippuden, the anime ran for 15 years from October 3, 2002, to March 23, 2017. Along with the series came many story arcs. Here are all of the story arcs in both Naruto and Naruto Shippuden, in chronological order.

49 Prologue — Land Of Waves (Naruto / Episodes 1—19)

Prologue — Land Of Waves ran from episodes 1 to 19 in the original Naruto anime. Fans can fondly remember the series’s debut, with the first serious mission Team 7 causing them to encounter Zabuza and Haku—the most well-liked villains in the series.

This arc shows Team 7 getting into the first stages of understanding how serious being a ninja can be, as well as understanding not every ninja is a clear-cut definition of “evil” and “good”—as Zabuza ended up realizing what was truly important to him in the end.

48 Chunin Exams (Naruto / Episodes 20—67)

The Chunin Exams Arc ran from episodes 20 to 67 in the original Naruto anime. The chunin exams had the ninja handle some of the toughest tests thrown their way, from them attempting to figure out how to truly work together, from participating to near-death battles in the Forest of Death.

This arc marked the first appearance of Orochimaru, fully displayed all of the Kohona 11, and introduced Gaara, Temari, and Kankuro.

47 Konoha Crush (Naruto / Episodes 68—80)

The Konoha Crush Arc ran from episodes 68 to 80 in the original Naruto anime. Before the chunin exams could even get into their final stages, Orochimaru attacked the Hidden Leaf, to which Hiruzen—the Third Hokage—and his pupil battled to the death.

Although his death was ultimately in vain, the impact it left on the characters—and especially Naruto—could be felt throughout the village, which kicked off the next arc.

46 Search For Tsunade (Naruto / Episodes 81—100)

The Search For Tsunade Arc ran from episodes 81 to 100 in the original Naruto anime. After the Third Hokage’s death, the running for a new Hokage to fill the previous one’s shoes began. This also marked the first appearance of the Akatsuki, which revealed that Itachi Uchiha—Sasuke’s brother who massacred his entire clan—was a part of it.

Naruto went on a journey together with Jiraiya where he first trained to master the Rasengan and had Orochimaru and Jiraiya both competing to recruit her.

45 Land Of Tea Escort Mission (Naruto / Episodes 102—106)

The Land Of Tea Escort Mission Arc ran from episodes 102 to 106 in the original Naruto anime. As a filler arc, it followed Team 7 on a mission that wasn’t mentioned in the manga. The plot was simple—to help a genin from the Hidden Leaf, Idate Morino, win a race.

The reason for this is the shortage of jonin after Orochimaru attacks the Hidden Leaf, so Team 7 was the only option left to aid the Wasabi family on an escort mission.

44 Sasuke Recovery Mission (Naruto / Episodes 107—135)

The Sasuke Recovery Mission Arc ran from episodes 107 to 135 in the original Naruto anime. After Sasuke received his curse mark from Orochimaru during the chunin exams and was called weak by Itachi during the Search For Tsunade, Sasuke wanted more power.

To do so, he decided to leave the village—leading to the Hidden Leaf’s Konoha 11 to search for him with the order to stop him from joining Orochimaru, no matter what. Naruto and Sasuke had their first fight at the Valley of the End in this story arc, and it was the last canonical arc in the original Naruto series while the rest were fillers.

43 Land Of Rice Fields Investigation Mission (Naruto / Episodes 136—141)

The Land of Rice Fields Investigation Mission Arc ran from episodes 136 to 141 in the original Naruto anime. After Sasuke departed and defected to Orochimaru’s side, only Naruto and Sakura were left of Team 7.

During this time, Jiraiya took the helm, and they went on a mission to investigate Orochimaru’s whereabouts, hoping to get more information on Sasuke.

42 Mizuki Tracking Mission (Naruto / Episodes 142—147)

The Mizuki Tracking Mission Arc ran from episodes 142 to 147 in the original Naruto anime. Mizuki was the original antagonist responsible for Naruto gaining the information about the sacred ninja scroll that had the Shadow Clone Jutsu written inside of it.

In this story arc, Iruka gains the help and support of Naruto to recapture Mizuki.

41 Bikochu Search Mission (Naruto / Episodes 148—151)

The Bikochu Search Mission Arc ran from episodes 148 to 151 in the original Naruto anime. Instead of teaming up with Sakura or the remainder of Team 7, Naruto instead joins Team 8, so he can help search for the rare bikochu beetle—an insect that was used by the Aburame clan with the capabilities of searching for anything that was lost.

Naruto planned to use the forehead protector Sasuke left behind to search for Sasuke by his scent. The arc was well-received for its comedic undertones and the appearance of four rarely appearing characters; Shino Aburame, Hinata Hyuga, Kiba Inazuka, and Akamaru.

40 Kurosuki Family Removal Mission (Naruto / Episodes 152—157)

The Kurosaki Family Removal Mission Arc ran from episodes 152 to 157 in the original Naruto anime. As another comedic filler arc, this time, it featured Team Guy and supernatural happenings. Although all Naruto wishes to do is train, Jiraiya is nowhere to be found.

As he has nothing else to do, he decides to join Team Guy with their mission of dealing with the Kurosaki family—namely, a jonin from the family named Raiga Kurosaki.

39 Gosunkugi Capture Mission (Naruto / Episodes 159—160)

The Gosunkugi Capture Mission Arc ran from episodes 159 to 160 in the original Naruto anime. Naruto once again heads out together with Team 8 to help a bounty hunter and bladesmith named Sazanami—formerly known as Tokichi—help clear his name.

While they are out searching for Gosunkugi, they come across him instead and vow to help clear his name, together with trying to find the elusive ninja they were sent to find.

38 Cursed Warrior Extermination Mission (Naruto / Episodes 162—167)

The Cursed Warrior Extermination Mission Arc ran from episodes 162 to 167 in the original Naruto anime. Naruto once again decides to join an excursion of ninja, this time composed of Tenten and Rock Lee, as they go on to explore a ghost.

They do so by heading to the Land of Birds—a small country in the Naruto universe between the Land of Wind and the Land of Earth.

37 Kaima Capture Mission (Naruto / Episodes 169—173)

The Kaima Capture Mission Arc ran from episodes 169 to 173 in the original Naruto anime. The team that Naruto joins is composed of Anko Mitarashi, Ino Yamanaka, and Shino Aburame.

Anko is on the lookout for information about her former teacher, so Naruto decides to join her so he can try and get any information about Sasuke’s whereabouts.

36 Buried Gold Excavation Mission (Naruto / Episodes 175—176)

The Buried Gold Excavation Mission Arc ran from episodes 175 to 176 in the original Naruto anime. Team 8’s teamwork is lacking, so Naruto is paired up with Kiba and Hinata so he can somehow help them improve it. In truth, this is because they all have low success rates with each of their missions—excluding Shino—and Tsunade has noticed this.

Kiba rarely listens, Naruto runs headfirst into issues, and Hinata avoids confrontation, wasting her capabilities. Tsunade then gives them an ultimatum—either improve their teamwork or be sent back to the Academy to redo their ninja training.

35 Star Guard Mission (Naruto / Episodes 178—183)

The Star Guard Mission Arc ran from episodes 178 to 183 in the original Naruto anime. Perhaps the most well-known filler arc is the Star Guard Mission Arc—and for a good reason. The story follows Naruto and Team Guy as they head to Hoshigakure to help the villagers protect their sacred star, but much more was put into the story.

The characters Sumaru and Natsuhi, in particular, turned into fan-favorite filler characters, and the lullaby “Natsuhiboshi” turned into quite a heartfelt memory.

34 Peddlers Escort Mission (Naruto / Episodes 187—191)

The Peddlers Escort Mission Arc ran from episodes 187 to 191 in the original Naruto anime. This filler episode follows Naruto as he goes on a mission with Hinata Hyuga and Chojo Akimichi to protect peddlers traveling from the Land of Vegetables.

A trio targets them called the Janin—three brothers who can use special jutsu and use it for evil instead of good.

33 Third Great Beast Arc (Naruto / Episodes 195—196)

Third Great Beast Arc ran from episodes 195 to 196 in the original Naruto anime. This arc has more of a focus on Might Guy and Rock Lee. Together with the two, Naruto helps Might Guy be wrapped up in Yagura’s—a genin from the Hidden Leaf Village—plot and thirst for revenge.

Although Might Guy was supposedly supposed to train him, he did not, which resulted in him trying to get revenge against him.

32 Konoha Plans Recapture Mission (Naruto / Episodes 197—201)

The Konoha Plans Recapture Mission Arc ran from episodes 197 to 201 in the original Naruto anime. This arc focuses on the Konoha 11 joining together to help protect the village once again, as it targets attacks—such as Orochimaru’s failed invasion.

This time, Naruto and the Konoha 11 work together to stop a ninja from the Kagero Village from destroying their home.

31 Yakumo Kurama Rescue Mission (Naruto / Episodes 203—207)

The Yakumo Kurama Rescue Mission Arc ran from episodes 203 to 207 in the original Naruto anime. This arc focuses on none other than Team 8’s leader Kurenai Yuhi.

Apparently, Yakumo Kurama is the last remaining member of the Kurama clan, a clan skilled with genjutsu and has valuable kekkei genkai users. She is in danger, and Naruto joins Kurenai in helping rescue her from her attackers.

30 Gantetsu Escort Mission (Naruto / Episodes 209—212)

Gantetsu Escort Mission ran from episodes 209 to 212 in the original Naruto anime. Naruto teams up with both Sakura and Lee to help aid in transferring a criminal to prison.

Said criminal is a part of the Shinobazu and is extremely dangerous, leading to various difficulties with their mission.
