Disney XD Gets ‘Naruto: Shippuden’
Written by Violet on September 11, 2009 – 11:53 am -
The cable channel Disney XD has scored a coup from rival Cartoon Network by landing rights to Naruto: Shippuden and will begin showing episodes in early October. The original series, Naruto, has been on Cartoon Network since 2005 and is wildly popular.
The Japanese anime is based on the manga written by Masashi Kishimoto and follows the story of Naruto Uzumaki as a tween. With the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox sealed inside him, he strives to become the strongest ninja (Hokage) in his village. Shippuden picks up the story in the fictional universe with Naruto as a teenager. I’m looking forward to this.
