Naruto had many unforgettable moments in 720 episodes (49 arcs in total). Although Naruto's fanbase is one of the greatest in the whole anime community. You all know how famous the series is. Of course, the story, characters, and crazy fights all packed in 720 episodes very well. But nearly half of arcs in Naruto are fillers. That's why I Picked the most popular Top 10 Arcs in Naruto according to fandom. Also, I gave u the episodes number with arcs too.
10. Sasuke's Recovery Mission
The Sasuke Recovery Mission Arc ran from episodes 107 to 135 in Naruto. After Sasuke received his curse mark from Orochimaru during the chunin exam and was called weak by Itachi during the Search For Tsunade, Sasuke wanted more power.
To do so, he decided to leave the village and join Orochimaru -leading to the Hidden Leaf's Konoha 11 to search for him with the order to stop him from joining Orochimaru, no matter what. Naruto and Sasuke had their first fight at the Valley of the End in this arc, and it was the last canonical arc in the original Naruto series while the rest were fillers.
9. The Search for Tsunade
The Search For Tsunade Arc ran from episodes 81 to 100 in Naruto. After the Third Hokage's death, the running for a new Hokage to fill the previous one's, Tsunade's search began now. This also marked the first appearance of the Akatsuki, which revealed that Sasuke's brother Itachi Uchiha who massacred his entire clan-was a part of it.
Naruto went on a journey together with Jiraiya where he first trained to master the Rasengan. Also Orochimaru and Jiraiya both competing to recruit her.
8. Kaguya Otsutsuki Strikes
The Kaguya Otsutsuki Strikes Arc ran from episodes 451 to 479, with various fillers and intermission in between, in the Naruto Shippuden. The first appearance of Kaguya shows the coming end to the war and the backstory of the character.
In this story arc, Kaguya's sons are also explained in detail and the parallels between them and Naruto and Sasuke.
7. The Five Kage Summit
The Five Kage Summit Arc ran from episodes 197 to 214 in the Naruto Shippuden. The Kage Summit focuses on Naruto with a more unhappy and hopeless demeanor than usual, as he wishes to ask the Kage not to execute Sasuke for his crimes.
It also introduces the more serious version of Tobi, the Akatsuki member no one truly cared about until he showed he was dangerous after killing Konan at the end of the Pain Assault Arc.
6. Akatsuki's Suppression Mission
The Akatsuki Suppression Mission Arc ran from episodes 72 to 88 in the Naruto Shippuden. This story arc introduced the Akatsuki members Hidan and Kakazu – with Hidan loved for taking the life of Asuma Sarutobi.
This arc is the first canon arc in Naruto Shippuuden, this arc showed how much darker Naruto Shippuden was in comparison to the original Naruto, as it showed that people could die.
5. The Fated Battle Between Brothers
The Fated Battle Between Brothers Arc ran from episodes 134 to 143 in the Naruto Shippuden. After Jiraiya's death, the next arc dealt with Sasuke finding Itachi first and battling him to fight death.
Although the battle was wonderful, the one thing fans will remember from this story arc is how Itachi turned out not to be as big as a villain the story led others to believe.
4. The Fourth Shinobi World War
The history of Naruto's world is marked with Four Great Shinobi World Wars, three of which were between the Five Great Nations. The main reasons behind those wars were conflicts over resources, lands, or political issues. However, the Fourth Great Shinobi War show a remarkable change. In addition to the participation of the protagonists in it, this war also witnessed the formation of the Great Alliance Army.
3. The Chunin Exam
The Chunin Exams Arc ran from episodes 20 to 67 in Naruto. The chunin exams had the ninja handle some of the toughest tests thrown their way, from them attempting to figure out how to truly work together, from participating to near-death battles in the Forest of Death.
In this arc Orochimaru showed himself for 1st time, fully displayed all of the Kohona 11, and introduced Gaara, Temari, and Kankuro. Also, this arc has rock lee vs Gaara's fight, one of the most awesome fights in Naruto.
2. Tale of Jiraiya the Gallant
The Tale Of Jiraiya, The Gallant Arc, ran from episodes 127 to 133 in the Naruto Shippuden. This arc followed Jiraiya as he discovered that Pain was actually Nagato—his first and former pupil—and his journey to stop him from attacking the Hidden Leaf Village.
Jiraiya lost his life to him, but he still went out with a smile and one that fans couldn't help but cry about.
1. Pain's Assault
The Pain Assault Arc ran from episodes 152 to 175 in the Naruto Shippuden. The arc featured the long awaited battle between Naruto and Jiraiya's former student, Pain known as Nagato.
Including this, it also featured that Naruto is actually the son of the Fourth Hokage that he admired so much and the love memorable confession from Hinata.
#_The bonus one-
The Birth of the 10-Tails' Jinchuriki-
I added this arc in bonus cause I didn't know where to put this.
The Birth Of The Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki Arc ran from episodes 378 to 431, with various fillers and intermission in between, in the Naruto Shippuden anime.
The war is heating up, and Obito becomes the jinchuriki for the Ten-Tails amidst everything that has transpired. Also, this arc has the fight of Madara and might guy.
