Manga way x 10 better but if you wanna know what is coming up next go to Naruto-kun.com and click on NarutoEX so you can download and read the manga. RASENGAN and CHIDORI kick @$$. sorry for spoilers or anything but after they fail to retrieve Sasuke, Naruto trains with Jiraiya [legendary sannin], Sakura trains with Tsunade [legendary sannin], and Sasuke trains with Orochimaru [legendary sannin] and there will be a 2.5 year time skip and Temari, Kankuro, and Neji all become Jounin and the rest are Chunin except for Naruto and Sasuke who are still Genin. [MY BAD FOR SPOILERS] Sasuke turns evil as well.

What I think about Naruto is, the anime and manga PWNS all other shows and Itachi is the best.
