Now, however, the four special episodes of Naruto have been reportedly completed, as recent news has revealed. This is huge, as this extra content has been in the works since 2023.

While it’s great that the four extra Naruto episodes are reportedly done, it raises a huge question for fans—when are these episodes dropping, exactly? For now, nobody knows when that will be, but it should be soon, since production is reportedly complete. That said, fans will have to be patient, as it might still be some time before they’re aired. Above all, fans of the Naruto series will be delighted to know that this anime will transport them back to the events before Shippuden took place, giving them a much-needed break from the dull and gloomy Boruto era.
