This article contains spoilers from the Naruto series.
The Naruto franchise is, undoubtedly, one of the biggest in the whole world of anime and manga, and fans know that this iconic manga is extremely popular even over a decade after its conclusion. Naruto will always be incredibly beloved to the fans, and that's precisely why there continues to be hype surrounding it. Over 2 years ago, the Naruto anime celebrated its 20th anniversary, and to celebrate the occasion, four new Naruto Anime episodes were announced.

Naruto was legendary, and its true replacement is here.
These episodes were supposed to drop not too long after the announcement, but now, years later, they're nowhere to be seen. That said, the new Naruto Anime episodes are officially coming, as recent reports suggest the production has been completed. Fans can't wait for the new Naruto Anime episodes, but more than that, what it means for the future of the Naruto franchise.
New Naruto Anime If Officially Coming
At Least 4 New Naruto Episodes Are On The Way
- Fans Will Get To See A Modern Take On Naruto
- New Life Will Be Breathed Into Naruto
When Naruto celebrated its 20th anime anniversary, fans knew that they would get something incredibly special to mark the occasion. Then, the four Naruto anime episodes were officially announced. These episodes are, undoubtedly, going to give the fans an exciting look at the story of their beloved yellow-haired ninja, who they've missed dearly for years now. It is said that the Naruto special episodes would be focused on the Pre-Timeskip of the series, which means the adventures of a young Team 7 would be the focus of these episodes.

Solo Leveling is big, but not as big as these other anime series.
For whatever reason, these four Naruto episodes faced tremendous delay, and now, it is said that the series is set for its grand return, hopefully at some point later this year. The Naruto franchise absolutely needs this. Boruto, while successful to some degree, is in no way comparable to Naruto and this franchise is simply wasting the potential it has with Boruto. The Naruto franchise needs new life breathed into it, and that's exactly what the upcoming episodes could do.
What The New Naruto Anime Episodes Mean For The Franchise
Naruto Could Have A Bigger Future Ahead
The upcoming Naruto anime episodes could be huge for the franchise. While it was reported in 2023 that fans would get just four episodes, things could've changed since. When the episodes were delayed, it was said that the reason was so that they could deliver immensely in terms of quality. Surely, four episodes won't take two years to make, which means something bigger could be brewing here.
Based on how the new Naruto anime episodes are received by the fans and the popularity of the series in general, perhaps a bigger Naruto project could come soon. Naruto needs a new anime series, or at least a spin-off anime series that isn't Boruto. This franchise still has a lot to offer and all the fans would be absolutely delighted if it were to continue beyond just the new anime episodes.
The new Naruto anime is expected to drop later this year, at the earliest, although no release date has been given yet.
