Naruto New Episodes Have Been Delayed
As per the original schedule, four episodes were scheduled to be released on September 3, 2023, on local cable networks in Japan. However, the production committee announced that the episodes had been delayed. The official announcement stated that they required additional time to guarantee that the episodes were high-quality and met fan expectations.
Naruto Special Episodes Release Date and Watch Online
The new release date will be announced on their official website and social media channels. Till then, the empty slot will be occupied by some special episodes of BORUTO: Naruto Next Generations. So right now, no release date is available for the new episodes, but we believe that the production committee won’t take more than 2 weeks. The first English-dubbed episode was released on September 10, 2005. We expect that the episodes will be released by the second week of September 2023.
International fans might be able to enjoy the episode on Crunchyroll or Viz Media. There is no official update regarding the streaming platform where the episodes will be made available.
