Naruto: Shippuden

This gathers the Shippuden era of Naruto, the second, older-skewing half of the long-running ninja saga that picks up after Naruto returns to his village following years away training. The anchor is the television series, but the bulk of the entries here are films and original video animations that spin self-contained adventures off the main arc, alongside fighting games in the Ultimate Ninja line.

The throughline is the franchise's blend of flashy combat and earnest emotional stakes: rivalries, sacrifice, and the slow climb of an outcast toward acceptance. The movies tend to function as side stories rather than essential canon, which makes this less a single narrative than a constellation of spin-offs orbiting the show. It spans anime, film, and games, all feeding one sprawling shonen world.

The Naruto: Shippuden franchise spans 1 series, 2 games, 13 movies in the CrossBinge catalog.
