These three seasons were the last episodes in the Naruto anime released before the beginning of the anime adaptation of Naruto: Shippūden, the second part of the Naruto manga. They are based on the Naruto manga series by Masashi Kishimoto, but follow original storylines not found in the source material, serving as filler. The episodes are directed by Hayato Date and produced by Studio Pierrot and TV Tokyo. This is a list of episodes of the Naruto anime series, covering the seventh to ninth seasons of the series.
