Naruto is a very long but entertaining anime. The first series running about 220 episodes and the second series Shippuden running about 150 episodes yet it is big even today. It has some of the most interesting story arcs you can find and the animation is top notch. But with an anime this large there does not seem to be an end insight yet.

Naruto Shippuden is a famous anime series which is airing on the TV channels of Tokyo (Japan). This show started on 15th February, 2007 and grabbed the attention of many audiences across the world. In the manga, the Shippuden is known as part two. Whirlwind Chronicles is the meaning of Shippuden, which is an allusion to the power of Naruto to manipulate the wind. It will happen after some sort of the time-skip and will take place two and half years after the defection of Sasuke from Konoha.

Naruto Shippuden happens after two and half years after the end of first series. Most of the audience seems to like the second series more interesting than the original one. Even though the innocence of the first series is missing in the second one, the maturity of the characters is something ...
... that makes the series more interesting. Naruto Shippuden is also great as it gives the morale that power brings about a lot of danger and responsibility. The series also shows Naruto trying to stop his dependence on the nine-tailed fox demon for power.

Naruto Shippuden takes place starting roughly 2 and half years after the first series ended. Now I almost have to say I like Shippuden better than the original show. Some of the innocence is gone and there is a more melancholy pathos to the series, but the maturity lends Naruto and the other characters something the program needed.

Shippuden also greatly deals with the concept of power bringing danger and responsibility. With Naruto trying to find ways of eliminating his dependence on the 9 tailed fox for power and also risking his own health with his special Rasengan attack.

The story of Naruto Shippuuden revolves around an older and slightly more matured Uzumaki Naruto and his quest to save his friend Uchiha Sasuke from the grips of the snake-like Shinobi, Orochimaru. After 2 and a half years Naruto finally returns to his village of Konoha and sets about putting his ambitions to work, though it will not be easy as he has amassed a few (more dangerous) enemies in the likes of the shinobi organization Akatsuki.

All the major elements of the series are still present but with a greater maturity level. The comedy also takes on a slightly greater level of sophistication without detracting from the slapstick style the show has always had. It can say that if you are looking to see which one is better, you need to watch the original first. This is not like Gundum where one generally has nothing to do with the others. Naruto Shippuden is a continuation of the original. If you start with it you will be lost.
