Fans of "Naruto" can now watch the animated series through Netflix. The internet streaming service reportedly made 15 episodes of the hit Japanese series available online beginning May 1.

According to Classicalite, fans of "Naruto" can watch 156 of the 220 episodes on Netflix starting the first of May. The series is reportedly available in both English and Japanese, with English subtitles for the Japanese version.

"Naruto" is based on the manga by Masashi Kishimoto and ran for a total of 220 episodes between 2002 an 2007. After the series ended, a spin off called "Naruto Shippuden" was developed, which is at its 410 episode as of this week.

The plot synopsis for "Naruto", via Fandom Post, reads:

"Deep within the Hidden Leaf Village, young ninja Naruto Uzumaki carries sealed within him the spirit of the Nine-Tailed Fox, which once almost destroyed the village."

"Always an outcast because of his secret, now Naruto battles alongside his teammates Sasuke and Sakura to prove to himself and everyone else that he's the greatest ninja ever. But he's got a long list of challenges to face before he gets there!"

In other news, it has recently been confirmed that a "Boruto: Naruto The Movie" will be released on Aug. 7, with a US release set on winter this year.

Speaking to Crunchy Roll, Kishimoto revealed that the film will be introducing several new characters, meaning everyone will basically start from square one.

He also stated that this is the first time after 10 previous "Naruto" films that he had to work with the film's character designers to write the screenplay for "Boruto: Naruto the Movie." According to Kishimoto this is the "Naruto" film he always wanted to make.

The movie will reportedly focus on Naruto and his son's relationship and fans will find out if Boruto will be as good as his father.

"This Boruto movie features all new characters, starting everything from zero. It means, it still exists only in my head, who is the original creator."
