# Where to Watch Naruto **You can watch Naruto through Crunchyroll, Hoopla, Hulu, Netflix, or Tubi TV using the official links on this page. This is a foundational fighting-shounen adventure for viewers who enjoy watching an underestimated hero earn recognition through stubborn effort. Its appeal comes from the friction between Naruto Uzumaki's huge ambition and the loneliness shaping his behavior. He is an impulsive loudmouth whom others find easy to dismiss, yet his refusal to stay down gives even familiar training material a fierce emotional charge. Rivalries matter here because they expose insecurity as often as they produce a good fight. The series also knows when to loosen the mood with slapstick comedy before returning to heavier questions about revenge or broken friendship. Commit to it if you want a long coming-of-age story where bonds formed under pressure carry as much weight as supernatural combat.** ## Where to Watch - [Crunchyroll](http://www.crunchyroll.com/naruto) - [Hoopla](https://www.hoopladigital.com/series/naruto-dubbed/11802118009) - [Hoopla](https://www.hoopladigital.com/television/naruto-subbed-season-1/14608874) - [Hulu](http://www.hulu.com/naruto) - [Netflix](https://www.netflix.com/title/70205012) - [Tubi TV](https://tubitv.com/series/1622/naruto) The official choices listed for Naruto are Crunchyroll, Hoopla, Hulu, Netflix, and Tubi TV. Start with the service you already use, since every option here points to Naruto rather than an unrelated franchise page. Hoopla has two separate Naruto destinations in the available links, so check both listings if that is your preferred service. For everyone else, the direct title page is the cleanest route. This is a substantial series, so your practical priority should be choosing the provider whose viewing experience suits a sustained watch rather than hopping between services without a reason. If one listed destination does not work for your setup, the remaining names give you several official alternatives. The show includes filler as well as continuing plot material. Viewers who care about maintaining story momentum may want an episode guide beside their chosen streamer, while completionists can simply settle in for the full journey. ## Synopsis Naruto Uzumaki grows up in the Hidden Leaf Village with a destructive supernatural creature sealed inside him. The villagers associate him with the catastrophe that struck their home, leaving him isolated and hungry for any kind of acknowledgment. He responds by becoming an unruly troublemaker and declaring an enormous goal: he intends to become the village's Hokage. That dream forces him to move beyond attention-seeking antics and prove himself through ninja training. Alongside Sakura Haruno and Sasuke Uchiha, with Kakashi Hatake among the central figures in his life, Naruto enters a world shaped by dangerous opponents and intense rivalries. His friendships collide with inherited pain and the urge for revenge. The story remains focused on an underdog trying to turn rejection into purpose, while the sealed power within him makes that struggle far more volatile. Expect martial-arts action and fantasy abilities, with comedy providing relief from the characters' angst. ## Fast Facts - **Format:** TV - **Episodes:** 220 - **Premiered:** 2002 - **Studio:** Pierrot - **Score:** 8 ## Watch Order Naruto is the first main TV entry, so this is where a new viewer should begin. There is no earlier season required to understand Naruto Uzumaki's starting point or the relationships that define his growth. Watch this series before moving to its listed sequel. The related movies and other side stories are optional branches rather than prerequisites for starting the main journey. That straightforward order matters because the emotional pull depends on seeing Naruto begin as a lonely underdog and gradually build meaningful connections. Starting later would skip the foundation of his rivalry with Sasuke and his place among the wider ensemble. If your interest comes from newer ninja anime, resist the urge to jump ahead. Begin here and let the training and tournament tension establish why these characters have such staying power. - Naruto Movie 1: Dai Katsugeki!! Yuki Hime Ninpouchou Dattebayo!
