I Can't Believe It's Not Naruto!

In our time as Naruto scholars, we've learned a lot about the intricacies of ninja society. Paperwork, teenage ninja death tournaments, Big Ramen - we thought we knew it all.  However, this week we made a startling revelation about the Hidden Leaf Village. Turns out the foundation of the entire ninja world is built on… Buzzfeed quizzes? Didn't see that one coming.

I can't believe we've finally made it to Season 3! The Game of Geckos is afoot and the political intrigue in the Hidden Leaf village is really heating up.  Being the most accomplished ninja scholars in the world, we know exactly what to do with this information - completely ignore it and spend most of our time talking about a risqué romantic novel that we caught Detective Pink Eye reading. We know what the people want!

Friends! The end of season 2 is upon us, and I for one cannot wait to see what Naruto has in store for us. Surely it will be a well thought out, narratively interesting cliff hanger and not... you know... random nonsense. Right? Yeah, I'm feeling really confident about this. I'll just go ahead and lock this episode description in right now. No way I"ll regret that later! See you Naruto fiends in two weeks for the start of Season 3, AKA the Golden Age of Naruto. Probably. We haven't seen it yet.

Are you ready to rumble??? The Hidden Leaf Village's rowdiest ninja teens are ready to duke it to see who's going to get an A on their test.  We've got a sand man. We've got a kid that kicks real good. And don't forget the main event… a trip to the super market? Weird. All this and more on this episode of I Can't Believe It's Not Naruto! (On a more serious note, we're very sorry about the extended hiatus. It's been a weird year for everyone, but we really appreciate you sticking with us! New episodes coming at you every other Tuesday. We're back baby) Like the show? Follow us on Instagram & Twitter at @itsnotnaruto, or on Facebook at @ICantBelieveItsNotNaruto.

Welcome back all you ninja fashion lovers and bridge enthusiasts! On this week's episode of I Can't Believe It's Not Naruto, the dramatic saga of Lana Del Rey finally comes to a close. Frankly, it's not as wholesome as we would have liked, but anything that gets us off this godforsaken bridge is okay by us. Also on this week's episode, we meet a whole gang of just about the goofiest ninjas anyone's ever seen. Will these ninja buds become Naruto's best friends for life? Or will they immediately disappear from the show, never to be seen again? We have no idea, but either way we can't wait for you to meet our new squad.
