Naruto (2023)

This live action anime adaption will cover from ''Prologue - The Land of the Waves'' to ''Sasuke Rescue Mission''. It will be an 8 episode series with hour long episodes and grand spectacles to be on par with the One Piece adaptation. A few rewrites between arcs will be needed but nothing major to change the Naruto mythos. I will be casting the characters based off of appearance/race and talent. With the ability of hindsight, I think this version of Naruto will be fairly decent in scale and visuals.
