Anime fans often stumble across unfamiliar titles while searching for their favorite series, and one question appears surprisingly often: Is Narutas Viesulo Kronikos the same as Naruto Shippuden?
The short answer is yes.
Narutas Viesulo Kronikos is simply the Lithuanian title for Naruto Shippuden. It's not a remake, spin-off, alternate timeline, or hidden sequel. The story, characters, and episodes are exactly the same as the original anime created from Masashi Kishimoto's manga.
The title was introduced when Lithuanian television channel BTV began airing the series with a Lithuanian voice-over in 2013. Like many international broadcasters, the network localized the title to better suit local audiences. While "Shippūden" is commonly translated as "Hurricane Chronicles," the Lithuanian version became Viesulo Kronikos, meaning "Chronicles of the Whirlwind."
Everything fans love about Naruto Shippuden remains unchanged.
You'll still follow Naruto Uzumaki after his training with Jiraiya, witness the rise of the Akatsuki, experience Pain's devastating attack on the Hidden Leaf Village, and watch the epic Fourth Great Ninja War unfold across all 500 episodes.
One area that causes confusion is the term "Naruto Visual Kronos" (sometimes written as "Vayasulo Kronos"). Despite the similar wording, this is not an official Naruto series. It's a fan-created internet concept that has spread through videos, forums, and social media posts over the years.
There is no manga, anime adaptation, or official storyline by that name.
If you're planning to watch Naruto in the correct order, keep things simple:
Naruto (2002–2007)
Naruto Shippuden (Narutas Viesulo Kronikos in Lithuania)
Boruto: Naruto Next Generations
For most viewers, Crunchyroll remains the easiest way to watch the complete series with Japanese audio and subtitles, while the original Lithuanian dub has become much harder to find outside private archives.
Ultimately, Narutas Viesulo Kronikos isn't a hidden chapter of the Naruto universe. It's simply another localized title for one of anime's most beloved series. So whether you're watching in Japanese, English, or Lithuanian, you're experiencing the exact same adventure that helped make Naruto a global phenomenon.
