The spoiler system

• Read up to marks the stage: Part I, Shippūden, Boruto or Two Blue Vortex. Anything later is blurred.
• I'm at… marks the exact chapter or episode. Every fact in the archive has its chapter, and anything after your progress stays covered even when the profile is open. An episode is placed by the chapters it adapts; filler takes the position of the last canon episode.
• Each covered block can be revealed on its own, with its button. Lowering the level covers everything again.
• Share without spoilers copies a link with your level or your progress. Whoever opens it sees the page up to that point, without changing what is saved in their browser.
• Character names and general labels are always visible. It is not a system that hides every detail of the franchise.

Editorial criteria

• Original summaries. The texts of profiles, articles, arcs, episodes and chapters are written for this archive; no synopses are copied.
• Nothing made up. No family ties the story does not confirm, and no names for characters who have none.
• Every fact, in its chapter. No text tells anything that comes after the chapter it is dated to.
• Source in plain sight. Manga, anime, adapted novels and films are told apart. The stages of a profile never add up powers that did not exist at the same time.
• Chapter numbers are reading guides, not a certification that every page was checked.

Sources

Official indexes and columns, such as the official Naruto site and the VIZ editions, plus the chapters cited in each profile and article.

One exception: technique ranks (E–S) come from the official databooks, looked up through Narutopedia, a fan wiki. A rank is only taken when the page is that exact technique; most techniques have no official rank.

The full list is in Sources, in the sidebar.
