Where to start the Naruto manga after the anime
Give it the last episode you watched. The mappings cover whole seasons. At a season boundary, the answer gives the next unread chapter; within a season, it gives a conservative starting point that may repeat material.
Every span the anime adapts
One row per season or film: the episodes, the chapters they adapt, and a note on where the boundary falls.
