Anime-Manga Differences

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

Censorship

 * 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 the middle finger. In the anime, he uses his index finger as well.
 * 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 causing 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.
 * In the manga, after the Demon Brothers capture 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 is shown. In the anime, this is removed.
 * In the manga, Kaiza has his arms chopped off. In the anime, they are instead only broken and burned.
 * In the anime, Kakashi drove his Lightning Cutter into Haku's chest. However, in the manga, Kakashi's hand went right through his body.
 * In the manga, when Gatō arrives and sees Haku's corpse, he is seen kicking him across the face. However in the anime, the kick is not seen, and only Naruto's look of shock is seen instead.
 * In the manga, Zabuza decapitates Gatō to kill him, while in the anime, Zabuza cuts him multiple times and Gatō falls off the bridge.
 * 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 touches it with her fingers.
 * In the manga, when Gaara is about to kill Baiu and Midare, Temari is waving good bye with a big smile. 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 arms remain attached while only his skin breaks on his arms.
 * In the manga, the attack that Gaara used to kill Dosu had sliced Dosu's body in half as seen when the dust cloud Gaara created had cleared up. In the anime only Dosu's injured arm was shown during this attack and unlike the manga Gaara is also seen using this attack directly.
 * 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 Kakashi defends Sakura against two Oto-nin, he impales them in the head with kunai. In the anime, he simply slashes them.
 * 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 and then he flicks his cigarette into a pool of their blood. In the anime, the brutal assault was censored with Asuma never slashing them or smoking a cigarette.
 * In the manga, when Hiruzen Sarutobi raids Orochimaru's lair, there are corpses strung along the walls. In the anime, these corpses are replaced with shelves containing jars.
 * 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 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.
 * 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 his palm.
 * In the manga, when Naruto prevents Kabuto Yakushi from attacking Tsunade, Kabuto's kunai goes through 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.
 * In the manga, when Shikamaru Nara gets caught in Tayuya's genjutsu, he sees his skin and flesh melt off his bones. In the anime, the entire arm melts 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.
 * In the manga, Konohamaru Sarutobi has a sexy technique which includes depictions of Sasuke and Sai. In the English version of the manga only the silhouette of the two is visible, in the anime this is taken out.
 * In the manga, Shikamaru is briefly seen smoking after Asuma's death. In the English adaptation of the manga and in the anime, he doesn't smoke, he only carries Asuma's lighter with him; although at a certain moment, visiting Asuma's grave, he leaves a lit cigarette.
 * Often in the manga, women are almost always shown naked (in spa baths or via Sexy Technique). Occasionally in the English adaptations of the manga and often in the anime, the women are covered by something (towels, fog, clouds, etc) when shown.
 * During the bell test, Kakashi casts a genjutsu spell on Sakura. Sakura sees one of the most horrible things imaginable to her: a gravely injured Sasuke. This fake Sasuke featured more severe wounds in the manga, including a missing left arm, twisted legs and more kunai impaling his body. Passing out from seeing Sasuke like that, Sakura lay unconscious on the ground. The manga played up the more intense and comical spaz attack by showing Sakura with wide blank eye and seizure-like foam at the mouth.
 * 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 Chaozu from the Dragonball series. The anime changed many of these to generic masks.
 * 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.
 * 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.
 * 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.
 * 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.
 * Another content edit, when Team Kakashi decided to rest at a Hot Springs, 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 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.
 * Interestingly, when Motoi's father 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.

Other

 * 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, 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 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, during the second phase of the Chūnin Exams, Team 8 gets their second scroll from a Konoha team. In the anime, it was changed to a team from Amegakure.
 * 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, 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.
 * 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 Senju and the right arm of Tobirama Senju, 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, 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.

Wondering how the slot machine works, he decides to insert his coin. We then see Naruto has amazing luck, as he wins back an 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 group the 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 Arc, 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 fulfill 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 though with the surgery before mentioning that the surgery was to take place that afternoon occurred at the beginning of the Sasuke Retrieval 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, 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, 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.

 * 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 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 elemental chakra 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, 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 the manga, Pain's Giant Rhino summon first appeared in during the invasion of Konoha. In the anime, he summoned it during the fight with Jiraiya.
 * 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 purple shirt.
 * 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 Arc, 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, when Naruto uses Wind Release: Rasenshuriken against the Six Paths of Pain, the focus is on him. In the anime, the focus changes to Sakura and an unnamed Hyūga, who describes to her the appearance of the technique Naruto is about to use, which Sakura recognises.
 * 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, after Konohamaru performed the Sexy Girl on Girl Technique, Sakura punched him for using it. But in the anime, Moegi punched him instead.
 * 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.
