Naruto saw numerous enemies during his training and conflicts, including the Otsutsuki and the Madara Uchiha, yet it was during these times that the public really came to appreciate him. The elite ninja first appeared in a manga in 1999, and after the anime premiered in 2005, they became well-known all over the world.
Naruto overcame every challenge that stood in his way on the long and dangerous path to becoming the 7th Hokage.
Despite having over 700 episodes between Naruto and Naruto: Shippuden, one of the most well-known anime series of all time, there are still a lot of filler episodes that you can definitely skip when viewing Naruto in order.
