Anime-Manga Differences

This page lists the differences that occurred during the transition from manga to anime.

Censorship
These are changes made in the anime for the young audience where originally in the source material, the content is unsuitable. Note that many of these censored scenes are generally still included in the uncut DVD releases (with some exceptions) and that most are aimed at the original broadcast release.

Part I

 * In the manga, when Mizuki throws multiple kunai at Iruka, Iruka pulls a kunai out of his chest. In the anime, none of the kunai hit his chest and he pulls a kunai out of his right leg instead.
 * In the manga, Ebisu fixes his glasses with his middle finger. In the anime, he also uses his index finger.
 * In the manga, during the bell test at the Third Training Ground, Sasuke unleashes a barrage of shuriken and kunai that directly impale Kakashi in the face which causes blood to spray out from a front angle. In the anime, he is pushed aside quickly and only the scene of him viewed from behind is left.
 * During the bell test, Kakashi casts a genjutsu spell on Sakura, showing her a gravely injured Sasuke. In the manga, "Sasuke" has a missing left arm, a twisted left leg and numerous kunai impaling his body. In the anime, he has his arm and leg intact and has only a few kunai impaling his body. As a result of the genjutsu, Sakura is rendered unconscious on the ground. The manga played up the more intense and comical spaz attack by showing an unconscious Sakura with wide blank eyes and seizure-like foam at the mouth.
 * In the manga, after the Demon Brothers capture and seemingly kill Kakashi, a silhouette of different body parts being shred apart is shown. In the anime, much of the blood and gore is removed.
 * In the manga, when Kakashi is describing the role of hunter-nin a severed hand that is impaled with a knife is shown. In the anime, this is removed.
 * In the manga, in the flashback scene where Kaiza is crucified and then executed, his arms have also been chopped off. In the anime, they are instead only badly broken and burned.
 * In the manga, when Kakashi unintentionally killed Haku with his Lightning Cutter, his hand pierced his body, with his hand visibly coming out of Haku's back. However, in the anime, Kakashi's hand only pierced the front of Haku's chest.
 * In the manga, when Gatō arrives and sees Haku's corpse, he is seen kicking him across the face as payback for when Haku nearly broke his arm. However in the anime, the kick to his face is not seen, and only Naruto's look of shock is seen instead.
 * In the manga, Zabuza stabs Gatō in the chest and then decapitates Gatō to kill him, while in the anime, Zabuza stabs Gatō in the chest and then instead slashes him multiple times across the chest, which results in Gatō falling off the bridge to his death.
 * In the manga, when Anko Mitarashi threw a kunai at Naruto and cut his cheek, she licks the blood directly from Naruto's cheek. In the anime, she only touches the blood from his cheek with her fingers.
 * In the manga, during the second phase of the Chūnin Exams, Team 8 gets their second scroll by luring a fellow Konoha team into a trap filled with Poisonous Leeches. In the anime, it was changed to a team from Amegakure.
 * In the manga, when Anko views the tape showing the arrival of the Three Sand Siblings at the tower, there is blood splatter and two sets of feet on the ground, heavily implying that Gaara killed another team of Genin to sate his bloodlust due to Kankurō and Temari convincing him to spare Team 8. The anime removed this.
 * In the manga, when Gaara is about to kill Baiu and Midare, Temari says goodbye to them and also waves goodbye with a big smile on her face. The anime removed this.
 * In the manga, during the preliminary rounds of the Chūnin Exams, Zaku Abumi's right arm is blown off when Shino Aburame uses his bugs to block Zaku's air tubes. In the anime, both of Zaku's arms remain attached to his body, only the skin on his arms break.
 * In the manga, when Gaara attacks and kills Dosu using the power of Shukaku, the attack bifurcated Dosu, which is seen when the dust cloud Gaara created had cleared up. In the anime only Dosu's injured arm was shown after the fatal attack and unlike the manga Gaara is also seen using this attack directly.
 * In the manga, when the corpse of Hayate Gekkō is shown, there is a great amount of blood and even carrion birds picking at his corpse. However, in the anime, much of the blood and the carrion birds are removed.
 * The design of the Hyūga Main Family's Juinjutsu is different in the manga and anime. In the manga, it was a variation of a manji, a Buddhist symbol, but due to its similarity in appearance to the swastika, it was altered into an X in the anime to avoid confusion.
 * In the manga, when Gaara brutally murdered Shiba and Midori (which was not shown in detail), the hallway was completely splattered with their blood and body parts, to which Gaara even stepped on. The anime significantly reduced this by showing their murders in detail, but instead they were completely crushed within Gaara's sand, blood and bodies buried within it. Midori's attempt to escape before being dragged back in was exclusive to the anime as well.
 * In the manga, when Kakashi defends Sakura against two Oto-nin, he impales them in the head with kunai. In the anime, he slashes them across the chest with kunai instead.
 * In the manga, after Asuma rescues Shikamaru from a group of Oto-nin, he slashes them and punches using his trench knives, leaving their bloody corpses to the floor, he then flicks his cigarette into a pool of their blood. In the anime, the brutal assault was censored with Asuma only punching them with the trench knives and never slashing them or smoking a cigarette.
 * In the manga, when Hiruzen Sarutobi raids Orochimaru's lair, there are several corpses strung along the walls. In the anime, these corpses are replaced with shelves containing jars filled with remains and various organs.
 * In the manga, when Gaara presses Sakura up against a tree, blood trickles out of her mouth. In the anime, this is removed.
 * In the manga, when a young Gaara attempted to cut himself in a flashback, he aimed for his wrist, at the vein. In the anime, he aimed at the back of his hand instead.
 * As Naruto walks through the festival city, he stops by a mask shop and purchases a mask. Various masks in the background represent past Japanese manga, anime and tv series "in-jokes" included by Kishimoto. These include masks of Kamen Rider and Chiaotzu from the Dragon Ball series. The anime changed many of these to generic masks.
 * In the manga, when Kabuto goes for blood to summon snakes, he retrieves it from the wound on his wrist. In the anime, he retrieves the blood from a wound on his palm instead.
 * A minor edit concerning the location of the small shinobi animals, Gamatatsu, Gamakichi and Tonton are all in the thick of the action when the giant snakes begin to attack.
 * Related to the previous entry, Tonton was among the injured fallen in the manga. In the anime, the three shinobi animals moved away to safety early on.
 * In the manga, when Naruto prevents Kabuto Yakushi from attacking Tsunade, Kabuto's kunai directly impales Naruto's hand. In the anime, it gets caught between Naruto's fingers instead.
 * In the manga, especially in Part I, Naruto and Kiba "flip the bird" several times, in the English adaptation of the manga and in the anime they only close their fist and look angry.
 * Kidōmaru did his best to take down Neji, this was especially apparent in the original manga, where his first arrow ripped a massive hole through Neji's shoulder. The anime greatly reduced the size of the hole. While this may serve as a content edit, it also made it more feasible for Neji to live through such an attack.
 * In the manga, when Shikamaru Nara gets caught in Tayuya's genjutsu, he sees his skin and flesh melt off of his bones. In the anime, he sees his entire arm melt away including the bones.
 * In the manga, after Raidō Namiashi and Genma Shiranui are defeated by the Sound Four, Raidō has three shuriken in his back and Genma has two kunai in his chest with his left palm facing up. In the anime, Raidō has two shuriken and a single kunai in his back and Genma has a single kunai in his chest with his left palm facing down.
 * In the manga, while Kimimaro is fighting Gaara, Kimimaro's bones came out of his fingertips by dividing his skin on his fingertips. In the anime, his bones just emerged from his fingertips through holes that close afterwards.
 * Kimimaro's encasement within Gaara's sand and his subsequent crushing are accompanied by a significant amount of more blood in the manga.
 * When Sasuke pierces through Naruto's shoulder with Chidori, we see his arm and hand with no obstruction. In the anime, they lessened the violent nature of the strike by whiting out the arm and hand with Chidori's electrical light.

Part II

 * When Team Kakashi decided to rest at a hot springs inn, the women bathing had towels and other objects added to block their nudity.
 * When Sai switches allegiances, he had subdued Kabuto in an alternate fashion in the anime. This was probably changed because Kabuto's hands were left free in the manga, making escape seem possible.
 * In the manga, Konohamaru Sarutobi has a sexy technique that depicts Sasuke and Sai in a sexual position. In the English version of the manga only a silhouette of the two is visible, and in the anime this is taken out entirely.
 * In the manga, Shikamaru is briefly seen smoking after Asuma's death. However, in the English adaptation of the manga and in the anime, he doesn't smoke; he only carries Asuma's lighter around with him; although at a certain moment, after he's done visiting Asuma's grave, he leaves a lit cigarette.
 * In the manga when Guren is making his escape from the northern hideout, he brutally kills a number of guards and there is a significant amount of blood. In the anime the blood is removed completely.
 * In the manga, when Nagato gets exhausted from overusing the Chibaku Tensei he coughed up a lot of blood. In the anime, however, this was changed to a trickle of saliva.
 * In the manga, when "Kisame" was decapitated, the head landed in front of Sabu. In the anime, this was omitted.
 * In the manga, after Danzō had badmouthed Itachi in the clutches of Sasuke's Susanoo, the latter crushed him. The amount of blood was heavily reduced in the anime, and the blood spattering on Sasuke's face was removed.
 * Interestingly, when Furui was impaled by the Eight-Tails, it was more censored than when it occurred in the anime as he was seen as a silhouette in the manga.
 * When Kisame slaughtered the Cypher Division in the anime, the action is censored.
 * When Armadiko's gender is revealed due to the Island Turtle being flipped upside down, its genitals are clearly shown in the manga. In the anime, the genitals are removed entirely.
 * In the manga, when Kankurō uses his Black Secret Technique — Machine Triple Shot, blood is seen draining from the Kuroari with Karasu in it. In the anime episode, the blood is omitted.
 * In the manga, when Gari blows up Tajiki, his blood spatters on his comrade. In the anime, the blood is removed.
 * Shippūden episode 272 was censored somewhat:
 * The gash Mifune sustained to his head was not shown despite him bleeding. In the manga, the gash was clearly visible.
 * When Mifune used Iai Beheading to cut open Ibuse's head, indications of the head being cleaved open are visible. In the anime, however, smoke covered this entirely.
 * When the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path rushes towards Chōji and Chōza, several shinobi are crushed by its feet or blown away from the shock wave. In the anime, this was omitted.
 * In Shippūden episode 278 when Sakura Haruno pulverised the transformed White Zetsu Army clone, no blood was seen coming from its mouth, whereas in the manga, there was blood.
 * In the manga, when the Second Mizukage's clone attacks the shinobi of the Fourth Division, he critically slashes one with his axe-like weapon. In the anime, he simply uses taijutsu.
 * In the manga omake tie-in, prior to Lee crashing in the girls public bath side, they were getting dressed. In the adapted anime episode, this was removed.
 * In the manga, when Madara reveals the status of the Kage, A had a large puddle of blood coming from his mouth. In the anime, this was removed, as well as a reduction of blood from the other Kage.
 * In the manga, when Obito states his dislike for Tobi the Zetsu clone, the latter "flips the bird" at him. In the anime, Tobi, nicknamed Guruguru by Obito, gives Obito a thumbs down.
 * Despite Obito's graphic massacre and massive amount of blood in the manga, there was very little censoring of it in the anime. In the original Japanese TV broadcast, the climactic battle was censored, with several seconds of gore cut and some sound effects muted. The footage was restored in the DVD release. However, in the following episode, the blood covering Obito is coloured black until he returns to Mountains' Graveyard.
 * In the manga, when the Ten-Tails took on its second form, a shinobi was seen coughing up blood after being injured by the impact of the transformation. This was only heard in the anime. In the same episode, Neji being impaled by the Ten-Tails wood branches in front of Naruto and Hinata was not shown in a close-up view.
 * In the manga, within his subconscious, Obito was being torn apart from the Ten-Tails' influence. The moment where his head was tearing apart was censored in the anime, only a glimpse of it is shown.
 * In the manga, Naruto's shadow clone hit by Kaguya's All-Killing Ash Bones screamed while crumbling to ashes. In the anime, the clone remained silent.
 * In the manga, when Naruto calls to Kurama joyfully, its irritation to Naruto's attitude is further shown by "flipping-off" Naruto. In the anime, Kurama merely exerts a clenched fist.

New Era

 * In the manga, Log is briefly seen smoking when having a conversation with Orochimaru. However, in the anime, he instead flicks his lighter.
 * In the manga, Boruto surprises Tentō Madoka with the Sexy Technique, wearing a bikini. In the anime, the transformation has a bikini top and a skirt.
 * In the manga, Shojoji is smoking a cigar when he introduces himself to Tentō. In the anime, the cigar was removed.
 * In the manga, Amado is first introduced as a frequent smoker. In the anime, his smoking habit is removed and replaced with another habit of drinking coffee as shown in his early anime introduction.
 * Two bathroom related moments were censored to an extent in the anime. Originally in the manga, Boruto and Kawaki are both seen urinating in the backyard of the Uzumaki household when the bathroom is occupied by Naruto. A shadow clone of Naruto intervenes when the two boys have a short fight, showing the original with his pants down in the bathroom. In the anime, Boruto and Kawaki had finished urinating off-screen and only the top half of Naruto is visible after sending his shadow clone.

Plot and Content Changes
These are changes that differ from the source material, usually made to accommodate for filler arcs or expanding material.

Part I

 * In the anime, Sasuke, Sakura and their classmates from Team 8 and 10 are introduced at the beginning of the story. In the manga Sasuke and Sakura first appeared in the third chapter, the other six were introduced at the beginning of the Chūnin Exam Arc.
 * In the manga, Naruto sneaks into the Hokage Residence to steal the Scroll of Seals and is caught by Hiruzen Sarutobi, but escapes by using Sexy Technique. In the anime, Hiruzen simply sends out the ninja after Naruto, and is exposed to the Sexy Technique when he refuses to accept Naruto's ninja registration photo.
 * In the manga, Iruka discards Mizuki's shuriken after he pulls it out of his back, but in the anime he throws it back at Mizuki.
 * In the manga, after Team 7 is formed, Sasuke is seen eating outside of a window with Naruto inside preparing an attack. In the anime, Sasuke is seen eating inside the window instead and Naruto attacks from outside.
 * In the manga, before battling Zabuza for the first time, Naruto throws two shuriken into the bushes, one of them nearly hitting a snow white rabbit. In anime, this was two kunai instead.
 * In the manga, Zabuza Momochi kills Kumade Toriichi with a tantō. In the anime, he uses a kunai.
 * In the manga, when Kakashi tells Zabuza that his future is death, he only has his Sharingan eye open. In the anime, both of his eyes are open.
 * In the manga after Kakashi's first encounter with Zabuza, Team 7 attempts to look at his face while he is sleeping. In the anime, this event is simply skipped.
 * In the manga, Chidori surrounds the user's hand in lightning. In the anime, it creates lightning in the palm of the user's hand.
 * In the manga, when Anko Mitarashi fights Orochimaru, she used daggers. However, in the anime, she used senbon.
 * When Shikamaru, Ino and Chōji appear after Neji has spotted them, Shikamaru is to the left and Chōji to the right of Ino but after Neji starts to walk off, they change places.
 * In the manga, Tenten and Temari's fight was never shown, due to Sakura and Ino's conversation occurring during their fight. However in the anime, Tenten and Temari's match was shown due to Sakura and Ino's conversation occurring before Tenten and Temari's match.
 * In the manga, Kin Tsuchi uses no other techniques besides utilising senbon with bells in her match with Shikamaru. In the anime, she uses her bells to activate the Bell Ring Genjutsu.
 * In the manga Ebisu explains to Naruto about his lack of chakra control while still at Konoha Hospital before Kakashi had left. In the anime, he explains it while the two are having lunch at Ramen Ichiraku after Naruto fails a challenge proposed by Ebisu.
 * In the manga, Jiraiya starts Naruto's training at the Konoha Hot Springs. In the anime, he tries to escape from training by attempting to elude him through a series of antics, eventually he trains him nearby a river.
 * In the anime, Jiraya's conversation with Ebisu takes place before Dosu is killed by Gaara instead of after. Additionally, the anime moved the scene of Baki and Kabuto's conversation to take place immediately after Dosu's death instead of having Jiraiya's conversation in between both of these scenes.
 * In the manga, when Jiraiya has Naruto drain his normal chakra during the Summoning Technique training, he has Naruto continue to use the Water Surface Walking Practice. In the anime, Naruto instead uses the Shadow Clone Technique to create a large amount of Shadow Clones to face in a battle royale.
 * In the manga, Hiashi Hyūga tells Neji the details behind his father's death himself. In the anime, he hands him a scroll written by his father.
 * In the manga, after a disguised Kabuto Yakushi finishes healing Hinata, he knocks Kiba Inuzuka and his dog Akamaru unconscious during Naruto and Neji's fight. In the anime, he knocks them out during Sasuke's fight with Gaara, just as Akamaru recognises Kabuto's scent. However, when this scene is shown again in flashback in Naruto: Shippūden, it's depicted like in the manga.
 * In the manga, Sasuke and Kakashi arrive to the finals shortly after Shikamaru's match had ended. In the anime, the Third Hokage instead allows for another extension for Sasuke to arrive and he and Kakashi arrive just as Genma is about to cancel the match after the waiting time had expired.
 * In the manga, the Kusanagi looks more like a standard katana, while in the anime it is a double-edged jian.
 * During the Third Hokage's fight with Orochimaru he rams Monkey King: Enma, who has transformed into an adamantine staff, into the Sword of Kusanagi, and his Enma is shown partially reversing the transformation. In the anime, this is removed.
 * In the manga, immediately after ramming his adamantine staff into the Sword of Kusanagi, Hiruzen Sarutobi places explosive tags on the left leg of Hashirama Senju and the right leg of Tobirama Senju, they are later shown healing while standing. In the anime, the tags are placed on the left leg of Hashirama and the right arm of Tobirama, they are shown healing while lying face down.
 * In the manga, Hashirama Senju uses the Bringer-of-Darkness Technique. In the anime, Tobirama Senju performs it.
 * In the manga, Shikaku Nara, Inoichi Yamanaka, and Chōza Akimichi first appeared during the Konoha Crush storyline as part of the counteroffensive alongside other family members of the Konoha 11. In the anime, they were originally introduced earlier during the Konoha Festival in the Chūnin Exams arc.
 * In the manga, when Naruto and Gamabunta do the Combination Transformation they transform into a giant fox with a single tail. In the anime, they transform into Kurama.
 * In the manga, when Jiraiya uses Rasengan on Gantetsu, he also steals his wallet, while in the anime, he is given it out of respect.
 * During Jiraiya and Naruto's search for Tsunade, Jiraiya enters a gambling parlour. While Naruto mills around he finds a coin on the ground. Wondering how the slot machine works, he decides to insert his coin. We then see Naruto has amazing luck, as he wins back a large amount of money. In the anime, this was changed to have Naruto win a lot of money in a lottery instead.
 * In the manga, after the group returns to the village with Tsunade and encounter Shikamaru and his father Shikaku, Jiraiya smacked Naruto on the head after hearing Naruto state to Shikamaru he'll show him his new move explaining that a shinobi shouldn't show off their techniques. This was skipped in the anime due to the fact that Jiraiya was left behind in the hot springs they visited in the previous episode.
 * In the manga, Shikamaru was promoted to a chūnin at some point before Naruto and Jiraiya returned from their journey of bringing Tsunade back to the village. In the anime, due to filler episodes taking place first, including the Land of Tea Escort Mission, this was pushed back to after Tsunade had become the Hokage and she was the one who personally informed Shikamaru of his promotion.
 * In the manga, Lee and Guy's conversation regarding that Lee should go through the risky surgery so Lee could fulfil his dream takes place on the same night Sasuke fought against the Sound Four. In the anime, this took place after Tsunade returned to the village at the end of the Search for Tsunade arc.
 * In the anime, Tsunade's talk with Lee about why he wants to go through with the surgery before mentioning that the surgery was to take place that afternoon occurred at the beginning of the Sasuke Recovery Mission arc on the same day that Naruto and Sasuke fought. In the manga, this scene along with the surgery takes place on the following day shortly after the Sasuke Retrieval Team left the village.
 * In the manga, Sakura takes Naruto with her to a park bench just after Sasuke left following their battle to tell him about Sasuke's curse mark. In the anime, she instead accepts a small dinner date with Naruto at Ramen Ichiraku in the evening to talk about it there which occurred during Sasuke's battle with the Sound Four.
 * In the manga, Neji was recruited into the Sasuke Retrieval Team after Lee heard their conversation and recommended him. In the anime, the team instead encountered both him and Lee on their way out of the village discussing the success of Lee's operation that took place the day before.
 * In the manga, Kiba is forced to save Akamaru from an Explosive Tag when Akamaru accidentally tripped after setting it. In the anime, it is due to Sakon using wire to bind Akamaru to prevent him from escaping the blast.
 * In the manga, when Sakon and Ukon are torn apart and regenerate, the dark tissue leaks out of their body and forms new arms and legs. In the anime, the arms and legs are formed out of their organs.
 * After bringing Naruto back from the Valley of the End, Kakashi goes to the Memorial Stone to talk with Obito. This brief scene was taken out to be used in a later episode. This chapter and the next were greatly rearranged and split up over the course of 80+ episodes of filler. This filler was used to allow the manga to get further ahead.
 * In the anime, when Neji suggests to Hinata that she go see Naruto off, he is in the middle of sparring with her. In the manga, it is in the middle of his sparring session with Hiashi, and the conversation is much longer, including an appearance from Kiba and Shino. The scene of Neji's training session with Hiashi and Kiba and Shino's appearance was instead used earlier in the anime at the beginning of the Mizuki Tracking Mission.

Part II

 * In the manga, when Naruto returns from his training with Jiraiya, the person he first re-encounters is Kakashi. In the anime, he first meets Sakura and Konohamaru. Also, Naruto meets Shikamaru and Temari on the streets in the manga, while in the anime he meets them while inside Tsunade's office.
 * In the manga, Yurika told Tsunade herself about Gaara's kidnapping, while in the anime, she handed her the message to read it.
 * In the manga, Neji examines with his Byakugan inside the cave of the Land of River before Team Kakashi and Chiyo arrive. In the anime, however, Neji examines inside the cave after Team Kakashi and Chiyo arrive.
 * In the manga, Hiruko was a normal puppet, in the anime, he was a Human Puppet.
 * During the Kazekage Rescue Mission, an unknown Akatsuki member is present in various scenes during Shukaku's sealing. However, this member is replaced with Hidan in the anime.
 * In the manga, none of the puppets in Chiyo's Chikamatsu collection were destroyed, however in the anime, at least four were shown being heavily damaged.
 * In the manga, Kakashi explains Naruto's Multiple Shadow Clone Technique training method before teaching him about nature transformation, with Yamato being present for the latter. In the anime, he instead explains nature transformation first and Yamato arrives partway through the explanation.
 * In Shippūden episode 80, Asuma is shown buying flowers from the Yamanaka Flower Shop after the time skip. In the manga, he bought the flowers before the time skip.
 * During Naruto's training to add his wind nature to the Rasengan, Kakashi takes him to Ramen Ichiraku. In the manga, Ayame is away on a trip and Nishi and Matsu work as her replacements. In the anime, she has just returned from a trip and has converted the Ramen Bar into a Tsukemen bar.
 * In the manga, after Konohamaru performed the Sexy Girl on Girl Technique, Sakura punched him for using it. But in the anime, Moegi punched him instead.
 * In the manga, Shiba picked up Sasuke's scent while in the anime, it was Bisuke.
 * In the manga, Sasuke's first encounter with Itachi takes place while Jiraiya is infiltrating Amegakure, along with the later events of Hebi heading to Itachi's location.   In the anime, this instead takes place after Jiraiya's death.
 * In the manga, Naruto finds out about Jiraiya's death just before Sasuke is assigned to capture Killer B. In the anime, due to the Six-Tails Unleashed filler arc, this was pushed back to afterwards, where instead it is shown at the beginning of the Pain's Assault arc.
 * In the manga, Utakata, the jinchūriki of the Six-Tails, had already been captured by the time of Akatsuki and Taka's alliance, while in the anime he was captured afterwards.
 * In the manga, when decoding Jiraiya's message, Shiho shows the correct way to write 'ta' and the way that Jiraiya did, and in the anime however, Shikamaru does this. In the anime, they also confirm it by comparing the 'ta' with a book containing Jiraiya's writing in it.
 * In Shippūden episode 157, there are a few changes:
 * In the manga, when the assault on Konoha began, the Animal Path summoned one centipede that was killed by Sakura. In the anime, three centipedes were summoned, one that was killed by Sakura as in the manga, and later another that was killed by Shikamaru. The third one's fate however was unseen.
 * In the manga, after Kakashi saves him from Pain, Iruka informs Sakura that Akatsuki is invading the village. In the anime, Iruka informs Sakura of the attack but has no idea who is invading, which happened before his encounter with Pain.
 * In the manga, Ino's first thought about Katsuyu was that the slug was part of the enemy's attack during Pain's invasion. In the anime however, this incident happened earlier during the Three-Tails' Appearance, when four divisions of Katsuyu appeared in time to help the sealing team by giving them an extra supply of chakra. Ino and Hinata, who did not recognise Katsuyu, were initially alarmed until Sakura explained who Katsuyu was to them.
 * In the manga, Naruto teaches Konohamaru the Rasengan before the time-skip. In the anime, he teaches it after the time-skip.
 * In the manga, Human Path throws Animal Path away from the Rasenshuriken blast after grabbing hold of the back of her cloak collar. In the anime, he does it by the front of her cloak collar.
 * In the manga, Hinata charged straight at Deva Path. In the anime, she focused more on trying to free Naruto from his restraints than attacking Pain.
 * In the manga chapter #449 when Sasuke and his team are seen getting ready to head to Konoha, Suigetsu already had the Kubikiribōchō back and was wearing a robe. In the anime, he was seen coming back after retrieving the Kubikiribōchō and wearing his regular outfit.
 * In the manga, Sasuke is the one to cut Danzō Shimura's arm off and slash into his torso. In the anime episode where the scene is extended, Garuda is the one that cuts Danzō's right arm off.
 * In the manga, an unknown shinobi interrupts the Fire Daimyō's appointment of Kakashi as Hokage with news of Tsunade waking up, while in the anime, Guy is the one to interrupt the meeting while an unknown shinobi is seen alongside Shizune.
 * In Shippūden episode 246, the fact that Kushina migrated to Konohagakure is played on very heavily. She even stated that she didn't hold much hope to be rescued when kidnapped by Kumo-nin because she was an "outsider". However, in the manga, this is not the case as she told Naruto that Konoha immediately sent out a search party to look for her.
 * In the manga, when Hiruzen is driving the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox out of Konohagakure, his team-mates Homura, Koharu and even Torifu are present with him. In the episode that covered this chapter however, the scene is changed entirely.
 * In the manga, when Kisame Hoshigaki attempted to escape his pursuers at the Falls of Truth by travelling inside of his Water Release: Water Shark Bullet Technique, he did so by swimming through the water. In the anime, both the shark and Kisame flew through the air instead.
 * In the manga, during Kisame's flashback, the Cypher Division is attacked as they're eating, and all are killed at once by Kisame. In the anime, Kisame detects the enemies and tries saving the Cypher Division, but ends up killing them one at the time.
 * In Shippūden episode 261, genin from Sunagakure such as Matsuri are present in the war despite the fact that they would most likely not be allowed to participate. They were also not seen in the manga.
 * In the manga, when Shin and the Sasori puppet clash, the puppet uses its flamethrower. In the anime, however, it doesn't.
 * In the manga, when Kitsuchi and Kurotsuchi unearthed the White Zetsu, the Fifth Division began their attack. In the anime, after the unearthing, the attack was cut and moved to a later episode. However, Hana Inuzuka and Karui's involvement remained cut.
 * In the manga, a shinobi mentions that Haku is a member of the Yuki clan. In the anime, there is no such passage, and Haku is only mentioned as an Ice Release user by Sakura.
 * When Pakura attacks the Alliance's shinobi with her Scorch Release, in the manga she attacks an Iwagakure and a Konohagakure shinobi. In the anime she confronts two Konohagakure shinobi with taijutsu initially and by the time she uses the technique, one of the Konoha shinobi becomes an Iwagakure shinobi.
 * It was said by an unknown Iwagakure shinobi that Gari was the former captain of the Iwagakure's Explosion Corps. However, in the manga, he was said to be the former member of the given organisation.
 * In the manga, Suigetsu is shown freeing Jūgo when the chapter focuses on them. The anime expands that sequence, showing how Suigetsu escaped his cell. During that time in the manga, Suigetsu's clothes was also shown to be in a semi-liquid state. In the anime, however, only his body is still in this state.
 * In the manga, Asuma noticed the arrival of his students before they faced Kinkaku. In the anime, this was omitted altogether.
 * In the manga, the Yamanaka, Nara, and Akimichi Clan Memorial was depicted with inscriptions beneath the clan symbols. This is removed altogether in the anime.
 * In the anime, Kabuto withdrew his reincarnated soldiers from the battlefield for the process of the night. In the manga, there was no indication for this.
 * In the manga, Toroi merely appears to summon larger shuriken from his scroll. In the anime, he withdrew regular-sized shuriken from his sleeves, and enlarged them.
 * In Shippūden episode 321, there are a few errors/changes:

 * In Shippūden episode 329, when the jinchūriki and the tailed beasts introduce themselves to Naruto, small dialogue changes were made, Isobu commenting on meeting Naruto before, and Utakata telling Naruto that he already knew his name. In the manga, neither had met Naruto before, and therefore both introduce themselves normally.
 * In Shippūden episode 331, the contents of the scroll Suigetsu finds at one of Orochimaru's hideouts is shown. In the manga, the scroll's contents were not revealed until much later. Also, in the manga, Karin's chains were linked to a wall, in the anime they weren't linked to any walls.

 * In the manga, once Naruto handed everyone in the Shinobi Alliance Nine-Tail Chakra Cloaks, an unnamed member of the Akimichi clan didn't gain a Nine-Tails Chakra Cloak in the background.

Additionally, the following fighting sequences up until Naruto blocks Sasuke's Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique with a chakra arm are original to the anime.

 * In Shippūden episode 477, there are some changes:
 * In the manga, Naruto summons three shadow clones in his Tailed Beast Mode. In the anime, he summons four.

 * In the manga, Sasuke was only seen after the war being told by Kakashi that he is being pardoned and therefore would not have to be imprisoned. In the anime, Sasuke was first seen imprisoned in Konoha's jail, before Kakashi had him pardoned and released.
 * The final chapter in full was never adapted for the final episode of Shippūden, instead ending the anime with an adaptation of the Konoha Hiden: The Perfect Day for a Wedding novel. Eventually for the Boruto: Naruto Next Generations anime, the chapter is very loosely adapted, with Naruto holding a Five Kage Summit in Konoha and Boruto planning the deface the Hokage Rock.

 * In Boruto episode 183, there are a few changes:
 * In the manga, Sumire Kakei did not participate the Chūnin Exams in favour of working with the Scientific Ninja Weapons Team, also being the last time she had seen Team 7. In the anime, she had participated the exams and left the village at a later point.

 * In the manga, Koji was completely unaware of the events in Jigen's fight against Sasuke and Naruto in the separate dimension. Ultimately, he deduced from the long period of his disappearance that Jigen was pressured and overtaxed by the duo. In the anime, he snuck a toad into Jigen's portal to continue watching the fully nature of the battle, witnessing Jigen's body begin to break down.
 * In the manga, Sasuke escapes before Naruto taunts Jigen about how far they pushed him, to the point Kurama councils him not to give Jigen a reason to change his mind from sealing him to killing him. Jigen in turn asks about Boruto and how his Kāma is maturing. In the anime, Sasuke only escapes after these exchanges.
 * In Boruto episode 205, there are a few changes:
 * In the anime, when Boruto suggests Sasuke could use his space-time ninjutsu to look for Naruto, Shikamaru reveals he returned from his mission in critical condition, and is being treated by the Medic Corps. In the manga, Shikamaru had yet to learn about Sasuke's return and condition, and was only notified after the children left.

 * In the anime, Sarada stresses the importance of team-work, dubs them the new Team 7, and puts on her forehead protector only after they figure out Boro is using a virus. In the manga, these occur before the discovery.
 * In the anime, Boruto and Kawaki pass out after explaining how Boro's Dark Cloud feels, and the limitations of what Kāma can and can't absorb. Mitsuki has his snakes bite them, mentions his specially made body when Sarada asks why he had his snakes ingest the mist, and shares his virus hypothesis with Sarada before they regain consciousness and movement. In the manga, Boruto and Kawaki never pass out, Mitsuki isn't revealed to have had his snakes bite them until later, he makes no mention of his special body, and although he did suspect Boro's jutsu involved a virus, he has Sarada confirm it by analysing a bit of the mist his snake captured with her Sharingan.

 * In the anime, Boruto creates shadow clones when he first attacks Boro, who counterattacks with his Lava Release, requiring Kawaki to pull out of the way. In doing so, their Kāma resonance slightly enhances Boruto's Rasengan, which both of them notice before they land the first attack which triggers Boro's regeneration. While Sarada prepares to put Boro in position, they explicitly strategise and decide to trigger a much stronger effect on Boruto's Rasengan. In the manga, Boruto makes no use of clones, and his first attack is a regular, non-enhanced Rasengan, his later enhanced Rasengan something they try on the spot.
 * In Boruto episode 207, there are multiple changes:
 * In the anime, Boro boasts about his body before realising Mitsuki harvested his antibodies. In the manga, he makes no boast at all.
 * In the manga, while explaining his actions, Mitsuki credits Orochimaru's influence on him for the habit of collecting things around him. In the anime, he doesn't.
 * In the manga, Sarada screams for Kawaki when he breaks formation to protect Naruto's seal, and Kawaki attempts to block Boro's shuriken while still in the air. In the anime, Kawaki lands on the ground before blocking the shuriken, and Sarada's scream is to try warning him against doing it instead of for breaking formation.
 * In the manga, Boro mixes gunpowder to make his virus cloud explode. In the anime, it's an unspecified flammable substance.
 * In the anime, after Kawaki is injured by the explosion, Boro comments on Kawaki's body also being a divine gift. He makes no such comments in the manga.
 * In the anime, Team 7 comment on who wants to protect who. In the manga, no such comments happen.
 * In the anime, Boruto and Mitsuki's attack on Boruto is extended, while Kawaki holds Sarada back and explains she has to find a core that controls Boro's scientific ninja tools. He later attacks along Boruto and Mitsuki to give Sarada time to find it. In the manga, he only explains it later in the fight, after asking Boruto and Mitsuki to buy time without him.
 * In the manga, Sarada directly asks Kawaki how Boro could have a sizeable core somewhere in his body, considering all the parts of it they already destroyed. In the anime, she just thinks it to herself while looking for it.
 * In the manga, Boruto comments he doesn't have enough chakra for another Rasengan after destroying Boro's shoulder, and wonders when Sarada mastered the Chidori. In the anime, he has chakra for one more, and continues fighting. He notices Sarada's incoming Chidori, and creates a ruse with smoke-bombs and a Vanishing Rasengan, destroying Boro's arm and making it impossible for him to weave hand seals just before moving out of the way for Sarada's attack. He also doesn't question when she mastered the Chidori.
 * In the manga, when Kawaki suggests abandoning the fight with Boro after he starts rampaging in favour of releasing Naruto, Mitsuki suggests that Naruto might be strong enough to defeat Boro. In the anime, Mitsuki makes no suggestion.
 * In Boruto episode 208, there are a few changes:
 * In the manga, while possessing Boruto, Momoshiki disintegrates Boro with a powered up Rasengan, only his tentacles remaining. In the anime, there are no remains of Boro left from the Rasengan, and Boro curses at Koji for deceiving him.
 * In the manga, after regaining consciousness, Kawaki asks Mitsuki what happened as he witnesses Boruto in the air after Boro is defeated, and Mitsuki confesses he doesn't know. In this anime, this exchange is cut.
 * In the anime, a couple of concerns about Boruto's Kāma are shifted from Sarada to Mitsuki.
 * In the anime, Naruto awakens in the hospital after a two day coma after his rescue. In the manga, it is never specified how long he was unconscious.
 * In the manga, Shikamaru discusses with Naruto about how he was rescued, as well as punishing Team 7 for disobedience and Jigen being capable of using space–time ninjutsu through Kawaki's Kāma. In the anime, discussion of Team 7 being punished is omitted, Naruto is told of his rescue by Hinata, and the topic of Jigen is rearranged to later in the episode.
 * In the manga, Sakura is present with Sarada in her room at the hospital with Sasuke and Mitsuki, and wishes her to recover. Also, Mitsuki talks with Sasuke in private about Momoshiki's possession of Boruto. In the anime, Sakura isn't present and Mitsuki, Sasuke discuss the manifestation with Sarada, and is he who wishes Sarada to recover.
 * In the manga, Naruto, Shikamaru and Boruto visit Kawaki in his room after Naruto's awakening. Shikamaru states Kawaki would have heavier security after Jigen's intrusion. In the anime, Kawaki visits Naruto in his room with Boruto instead and have discussion regarding what had happened and more intel on Kara.
 * In the manga, Jigen checks in with Code to see if anyone else has attempted to approach the Ten-Tails, shortly before his fight with Koji. In the anime however, this transpires prior to Koji returning to the hideout and Amado's defection. Delta is also present, who informs Jigen of Boro's demise and Naruto's escape, which he does not learn until later in the manga.
 * In the manga, upon returning to the hideout, Koji asks Amado the whereabouts of Boro and Code. In the anime, Koji asks him where all the Inners are, instead of asking about anyone specific.
 * In Boruto episode 212, there are a couple changes:
 * In the manga, after Amado shuts Delta down, Koji wonders if he himself has a programmed shutdown code before sending Amado to Konoha. In the anime, he only wonders it after sending Amado to Konoha.
 * In the anime, Moegi is with Team 10 during their battle royale sparring, who leaves to get them lunch. However in the manga, Moegi is not seen until Amado takes Shikadai hostage. Moegi also notes to herself the team became determined to train after failing to capture Koji Kashin when he had stolen data from the village archives, which had never happened in the manga.
 * In the manga, Boruto asks Sumire what it means to defect after Amado's request to defect to Konoha. In the anime, Sumire merely questions if Amado is defecting from Kara.

In the anime, instead of it being told by Koji himself, Kawaki and Amado deduce that it is his method while they are observing the fight.

Animation Changes
These are small changes made in the anime regarding depictions, how characters and objects are positioned or actions. The plot does not acknowledge these minor changes.

Part I

 * In the manga, Orochimaru's summoning tattoo has alternating curves coming out of it. In the anime, these are removed. This is corrected in subsequent appearances, but instead adds another error where the lower part of the seal is incorrect.

 * In Shippūden episode 187, when Naruto looks at Hokage Rock before leaving with Jiraiya, Tsunade's face is next to Minato's, even though it was not there when they left at the end of Part I in the manga. In fact, when Naruto returned to Konoha, he claimed that the only thing different about the village was that Tsunade's face was now engraved on the rock. This seems to be a mistake from the animators as it contradicts a major part of the story line.
 * In the manga, when Danzō first reveals a Sharingan, the eye looks unhealthy, having a dark sclerae. In the anime, the sclerae is white.
 * In the manga, Rōshi's headpiece is depicted as having a golden ring on the left side. In the anime, however, this ring was not present.

 * The teeth of Sasuke's final Susanoo form in the manga are depicted as jagged, but when animated they resemble normal teeth with elongated canines.

 * In the manga, the object Kurama was bounded to as well as the chains and stakes that bound it while sealed within Kushina Uzumaki had more of a liquid appearance while in the anime, they appear to be more solid. This was changed in the subsequent episode into something that resembled lava.

 * In Shippūden episode 256, Hiashi Hyūga is seen wearing a bandanna-styled forehead protector whereas in the manga, he wears it in the traditional manner. This may have been misconstrued due to the fact that the forehead protector is on a dark cloth and Hiashi has black hair, but in fact the forehead protector is tied in as similar manner to Neji's: with his hair covering the back of the cloth.
 * In the manga, when Tsunade, A and Ōnoki are seen standing side by side, Ōnoki is actually flying. However, in the anime, he is not.
 * In Shippūden episode 261, C who was present in the manga when deploying with the Sensor Division, is replaced with another shinobi.

 * In the anime, Shin's eyes are depicted as being black. However, when he was reincarnated — the only time his eyes are seen open in the manga — they are depicted as being light-coloured. Curiously in the anime when Shin is reincarnated his eyes are black in colour, however when Sasori uses Shin as a puppet, his eyes turn white as if his personality had been eliminated by Kabuto which was not the case.
