Saying sayonara to 15 years of Naruto

The rivalry between Naruto and Sasuke forms the central spine of the entire series.

We take a look back at long-running manga Naruto, which ended last week.

After 15 years in publication, the final chapter of Naruto (#700 to be exact), was published last week in Japan’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine. It’s been a topsy- turvy, sometimes long-winded roller coaster ride, but for 15 years, Naruto creator Masashi Kishimoto has managed to keep manga fans captivated through a good balance of strong character development, comedic buffoonery and all-out action; all set within an extremely detailed world and mythology.
