Naruto is indeed a very popular anime for a very long time. I have been fond of him for a long time, and my favorite character is Choji, because he even looks a bit like me because he loves to eat a lot.

I love Naruto, I’ve been watching it since I was 12 years old and it wasn’t until I was 24 that I was able to finish watching it in full. All these years I’ve been waiting for the last episode to come out. I just finished reading the Naruto manga the other day. If you want all the chapters, I read it here https://naruto-read.com/ from start to finish.
