thread_title:  Shippuden 

message: Admittedly I haven't read the manga, so I don't know how it presents it, but given that the current anime arc seems to be merging the first two arcs in the Shippūden list, would it not make sense to reflect this in the episode numbering? As I understand it, the manga's Reintroduction incorporates the second bell test, but by the numbering used it is the anime's Rescue Gaara arc; also Akatsuki begin their efforts in Suna in what is currently numbered as the anime's Reintroduction arc...

thread_title:  First Shippūden anime arc 

message: Does anybody else here think that the Chunin Exam is more of a saga than an arc? I mean, it consists of four portions roughly as long as Land of Waves and Invasion of Konoha, and the four together span about two seasons (half of Season 1, all of Season 2, half of Season 3). I'd say that Chunin Exam is a saga, and that the Phase One, Phase Two, Preliminaries, and Finals are its arcs. You Can't See Me! 21:49, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm honestly stupefied by this point. All I know is that the episode format should match the arc list or vice-versa. The latter would seem preferable. — Someguy0830 (T | C) 22:08, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Chunin Exam 

message: I don't know when this arc is going to end and I'm not saying we should name it now, but in the interest of preventing an edit war when it do end I think we should at least start discussing the name, so here’s my 2 ¢:
As I see it these are the main events in this arc so far:
# Sasuke defeats Orochimaru.
# Sasuke forms a new group and goes after Itachi.
# Naruto and co. goes after Sasuke and/or Itachi.
# Sasuke defeats Deidara
So it seems that Sasuke is the focal point of this arc. The name that comes to my mind right now is something along the way of “Sasuke Makes His Move”, but as I said before the arc is not over yet. TheYmode 16:26, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Itachi is the object of interest during this arc; everything that has happened has built up to how to find him. Of course, it seems to be far too early in the arc to make any guesses at what the final focal point will be, and this arc will go unnamed until then. ~SnapperTo 16:32, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

text: I say "Fight Akatsuki" or something similar to that. We see Sasuke defeating Deidara, hunting Itachi, Jiraiya fighting Nagato...  —Preceding unsigned comment added by ShellSchocker (talk • contribs) 23:07, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Name of the current arc (Chapters 343—) 

message: Can we  this current arc? Chapters 343-354 seem to have a completely different plot that these most recent chapters do. 43-54 seem to be entirely around the formation of Team Snake, and these recent ones the search for Sasuke and Itachi. It does seem a bit early for this, though, but let's wait for the next several chapters to tell if they are different plots. User:Artist Formerly Known As Whocares, 19:42 (Eastern Standard Time), 21 July 2007 (UTC)
Call one arc Hebi, going to the manga wherein the 2 collective teams leave their respective bases. And pending on the next manga, call the new arc the Itachi arc (If they start fighting, naturally.) Granted, Deidara was just killed, the amount of issues it took, paired with how many times Deidara's come out to fight, one might say that his death was used so that we can see the true tier of power in Akatsuki - What I mean by this is that the strongest and most knowledgeable members about everything are still alive - Itachi, Kisame, Pein, Blue (as I call her), Zetsu and Madara - I'd say that the Sasuke/Deidara fight was used to not only show Sasuke's true strength (he's capable of killing Akatsuki members AND Orochimaru, so they're going to use those two events as proof that Sasuke is capable of killing someone.) but also to progress the part of the "Tale" we're in. We should NOT designate the menial fight as something huge. Of course, the name "Showdowns Arc" might also be very applicable - We're at the point in the anime where big things are unfolding, and we've already had a few showdowns in the current arc. 74.12.4.253 13:32, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Wow, good eyes. We should leave the current arc unnamed, however. I still feel that the Team Snake arc should be seperate. Artist Formerly Known As Whocares 17:20, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I also feel the Team Snake arc should be separate. 66.82.9.53 20:46, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  I disagree. The history is integrally connected, it shouldn't be broken apart in two arcs, they work as one.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by ShellSchocker (talk • contribs) 23:05, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Splitting current arc?

message: I accidentally submitted my revert to the old article before I could finish writing up the reasons. These are:
#While Freud209 did create an informative article, much of the information in the original article was lost.
#The format of the original article is concise, which is what a list of story arcs is supposed to be.
#Deleting the original article to replace it by something serving a completely different goal is plainly bad style.
Why not create a new article, e.g. "Main narrative of Naruto", instead of replacing the story arc list?--Ghhs 18:56, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Are there official names for all of the arcs, or are the names derived from what they are commonly referred to as? The reason I ask is "Introduction", "Land of Waves", and "Chuunin Exams" all appear in titles. If I remember correctly, "Invasion of Konoha" is called "Crumbling Leaf". I don't remember hearing "Return of Itachi", but the rest of Part One seems to be consistent. The Part Two names seem lacking.
Also, why is "Exposition" distinct from "Sasuke and Sai"? 66.82.9.53 20:45, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Official names? 

message: According to the list of Naruto Shippuden episodes, the Exposition arc consists of two episodes: 33 and 34. If y'all know that, then why do you keep putting present when you already know how many anime episodes there are for the Exposition arc in the list of the Naruto story arcs?
