The Naruto manga is written by Masashi Kishimoto and published by Shueisha in the Weekly Shonen Jump magazine.¹ The series began its serialization in 1999.² The first two hundred and forty-four chapters are known as Part I, and constitute the first part of the Naruto storyline. All subsequent chapters belong to Part II, which continues the storyline in Part I after two and a half years. The English adaptation of the Naruto manga is licensed by Viz Media and published in the American Shonen Jump.¹

Several adaptations have been made based on the manga, including two anime series and four featured movies. The first anime series, titled Naruto, covers the entirety of Part I over two hundred and twenty episodes.³ The second, named Naruto: Shippūden (ナルト 疾風伝, Naruto: Shippūden^? lit. Naruto: Hurricane Chronicles), is based upon Part II, and started airing on February 15, 2007.⁴ Both series are produced by Studio Pierrot and TV Tokyo, and air on TV Tokyo.³⁴ The first three Naruto movies are situated during Part I, with the fourth taking place in Part II.

Forty-four tankōbon have been released by Shueisha in Japan, with the first twenty-seven tankōbon containing Part I, and the remaining seventeen belonging to Part II. The first tankōbon was released on March 3, 2000, with the forty-third released on August 4, 2008.⁵⁶ In addition, five tankōbon, each containing ani-manga based one of the first three Naruto and two Naruto: Shippūden movies, have been released by Shueisha.⁷⁸⁹

Viz Media has released thirty-one volumes of the English adaptation of the manga.¹⁰ In order to compensate for the gap between the Japanese and English adaptations of the manga, Viz Media announced its "Naruto Nation" campaign, where it would release three volumes a month in the last four months of 2007 in order to close said gap.¹¹ A similar campaign is planned for 2009, with eleven volumes from Part II of the series being released between February and April in order to catch up to the Japanese serialization. Starting with the release of volume forty-five in July, Viz will begin releasing Naruto on a quarterly basis.¹²
