Do you need to watch Naruto before Naruto Shippuden?
Nah, you can start with Naruto Shippuden if you want, but you'll miss a lot of context and character backgrounds that make the story richer.

Yes, you should definitely watch Naruto before jumping into Naruto Shippuden! It's like trying to watch Return of the Jedi before A New Hope โ you'll miss out on all the important backstory and character development.
Honestly, no. Just start with Shippuden and read a quick summary of Naruto. You'll be fine and save a lot of time.
Totally worth it to watch Naruto first! Trust me, I did it the other way around and I was so lost with the plot sometimes.
Starting with Naruto will give you all the feels and make the battles in Shippuden way more epic!
