Additionally, Manga Entertainment collected the first episodes alongside the last ones from the previous season on Novemin a 2-disc DVD set in the United Kingdom.

The first twelve episodes were collected in a DVD box by Viz Media on October 11, 2011. The complete season would make its English television debut on Adult Swim's Toonami programming block and premiere from Novemto May 15, 2016.

The season premiered on Neon Alley starting with episode 99 from Decemto January 7, 2013. Episodes 89 to 98 were broadcast until the show was removed from Disney XD's schedule, citing the more frequent violence shown later on in the anime. The English dub of the season aired on Disney XD from July 30 to November 5, 2011. This season follows the leaf ninjas including Naruto Uzumaki, attempting to stop the Three-Tails, and help a boy named Yukimaru. A total of six volumes were published by Aniplex between Jand November 4, 2011. It is also referred to by its Japanese DVDs as the chapter of The Three-Tailed Demon Turtle ( 三尾出現, Sanbi Shutsugen).

The fifth season aired from December 2008 to June 2009 on TV Tokyo. They are based on Part II for Masashi Kishimoto's manga series. Others will enjoy it immensely too, but without a doubt the more intelligent you are the more you will enjoy it.The fifth season of the Naruto: Shippuden anime series is directed by Hayato Date, and produced by Studio Pierrot and TV Tokyo. It is a must watch AND a must read to everyone with above average intelligence. Though it does have a large emphasis on fighting, Naruto is primarily about characters and story. It is not anything like DBZ or similar 'OP Powaz anime'. In summary it's my opinion that Naruto is one of the most epic and dynamic stories to exist to this date. Other reviews stating it's gone on for too long or stories/characters are being recycled - I wont go into too much explanation on flawing this review, it's so far off the mark all I need say is this individual has clearly not understood the intricate's of the characters and the history.

Reviews down rating due to fillers is ridiculous, obviously the studio and channels need to make money and fill air time, and obviously 1 manga is not as long as 1 anime, common sense should then counter any grudge held due to fillers. Character growth, development and change is incomparable to any other manga/story/book you will ever read, with some serious plot twists while constantly offering reasoning and back story completely justifying them all. It then goes on to get better and better and better. The story continues were it left off and takes no time at all in getting right into it. Had to add a review since some of them I read were quite frankly ridiculous.
