11	''Manga/{{Naruto}}'' began in 1999 as a manga written by Creator/MasashiKishimoto. Due to its immense popularity, it expanded into a multimedia franchise along with contemporary Magazine/ShonenJump series ''Manga/OnePiece'' and ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'' (which fandom collectively called the ''The Big Three'', as they were the magazine's flagship series through the [=2000s=] and early [=2010s=]). The original manga concluded in November 2014, with a movie in 2015 starring Naruto's son Boruto, ''Anime/BorutoNarutoTheMovie'', serving as something of a finale[[note]]It's set after the manga's epilogue chapter[[/note]]. The anime adaptation of the second half, ''Naruto Shippuden'', ended on March 23, 2017.

Masashi Kishimoto himself has also released two ''Naruto Gaiden'' manga focusing on Boruto's teammates. Additionally, the anime adaptation of the ''Boruto'' manga, ''Boruto: Naruto Next Generations'', began airing in Spring 2017.
