| Naruto Anime (3440 words) |
 | To prevent overlapping, the anime's producers tend to organize content from the manga chapters into long, uneventful sections followed by short bursts of energy-packed action, sometimes adding filler. |
 | Tea Country Race Arc: Episodes 102-106 (anime only), the first of the filler arcs, which covers a small stand-alone adventure where Team 7 help Morino Ibiki's younger brother, Morino Idate, win a race with very high stakes, and learn that he is more than the coward he thought he was. |
 | Character naming is consistent with traditional Japanese names, family name first (in the English anime the characters' names are reversed, so that the their personal names are first as common in most western societies). |
