Do we really need to speak about the legacy of Naruto, one of the most famous anime series of all time? After all, one doesn't really need to explain what this show is, since even the people with completely barebones knowledge when it comes to anime can attest to the fact that they've at least heard the name of the show, if nothing else. There are simply way too many factors that have turned this long-running shonen series into a fan favorite that is still going strong to this very day... even after the main series ended its run quite a few years back! In fact, the fan demand for the series was so high that the creators finally gave in and greenlit Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, a sequel that continued the tale of the shinobi. While the quality of this sequel might be up for debate, one thing is perfectly clear — the legacy of Naruto simply cannot be tarnished... or can it?

After all, nothing — no matter how good it may be — can never be perfect, and the same applies to Naruto as well. As much as we might dislike to say it, the fact of the matter is that there are several mistakes that the animators of the series have made when it comes to the series at large. Heck, some of these mistakes were made by none other than Masashi Kishimoto himself! So, it's time to unveil the curtain and reveal 25 of the biggest mistakes made in Naruto that fans haven't noticed... yet.

25 In The Infamous Kissing Scene, Naruto's🎀 Whiskers Have Disappear🉐ed

The first encounter between Naruto and Sasuke is admittedly quite eventꦜful in every sense of the 🤡word, with an ill-timed push leading to what might just be one of the most iconic kisses in anime history... albeit for all the wrong reasons.

Speaking of wrong, did anyone l✤ook at Narut𓆏o's face?

In the initial cut of the anime, his whiskers have completely disappeared. It's an 𒐪honest mistake, but ♎it's one that we need to mention nevertheless.

24 Naruto's Whiskers Also 𓆏Disappear During His Fin♋al Battle With Sasuke

The final battle between Naruto an🌳d Sasuke is one of the most amazing visual treats that anyone has ever witnessed in anime history. We say this because the 🐟entire encounter is nothing short of a spectacle, for multiple reasons.

However, even this encounter has a few mistakes in the♈ mix.

Namely, there are parts where Naruto's whiskers are 𝔍not drawn... ag🐷ain. It seems that this small visual detail is something that most animators tend to miss out on when it comes to the protagonist of the series.

23 In Episode 2, The Great Stone Faces Of The Hokage Constantly Change Direction ✱

The Great Stone Faces O꧑f The Hokage are a legendary aspect of t🌌he Leaf Village and for good reason. The obvious allusions to Mount Rushmore are pretty evident, but the fact of the matter is that this monument is iconic for a whole host of reasons other than this.

ꦬHowev👍er, the second episode of the series kinda messes up with this monument.

We say this because there are times when the face🧜s on the monument are pointing at🏅 different directions in different scenes. It's a small detail, but a noticeable one nevertheless.

22 During Naruto’s First Shadow Clone Jutsu, The Scroll He Had Disappears B🔯efore Reappearing Again ဣ

The first time Naruto pulls off the Shadow Clone Jutsu is nothing short of amazing, showing us exactly how much power this young ninja actually stored in him. It'ꦑs nothing short of amazing and serves as a prelude to the sheer potential of this upstartꦗ.

However, while this scene might be quite amazing, there is a mistake that needs to be pointed out𝔍 here — the scroll that Naruto stole in the first episode disappears from his hand, before reappearing again in the next scene.

21 Torune's Mask Originally Didn't Obstruct His Eyes 🅘

Torune Aburame is a mysterious character in Naruto. In fact, he's so mysterious that most of you probably don't even remember who he was, to begin with. Well, let us ꦆremind you♚ by stating that this man was a high-ranking member of the Anbu faction, Root.

Anywa♑y, the reason why we're bringing this chꦰaracter up is that Kishimoto originally made holes in his mask, akin to a superhero costume. This was revised in later editions that featured him, giving him an altered mask that you can see in the image.

20 The S🐈hukaku Came Out Of Nowhere 🐼In Ten-Tails' Vision, Even Though He Didn't Give Any Chakra To Naruto

In chapter 629 of Naruto, there's a scene where the Ten-Tails sees an image o🧸f various tailed beasts surrounding Naruto. This is because these creatures had lent thღeir chakra to the titular protagonist.

However, for some reason, Shukaku is also shown in this image. This is quite perplexing, especially si🃏nce he played no role in giving Naruto his chakra in any way, shape, or form. Thankfully, this mistake was rectified in future editions.

19 🎃 Itachi Reverts To Using The Normal Sharingan, Even Though He Always Used The Mangekyou Sharingan

The Mangekyou Sharingan is🎃 an advanced technique that only a handful of Uꦇchiha have activated. The abilities of this technique are further accentuated if one happens to steal the eyes of another Uchiha, helping them awaken their Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

Itachi Uchiha is one such individual who managed to unlock this amazing power. However, for some reason, there are times in the manga when he's whipped out a normal Sharingan ෴for no reason whatsoever.

18 Itachi Wearing A Normal Forehead Protector Without A Scr🎶atch On It

The last instance is not the only time that Itachi will be featured on this list. There are several other problems and mistakes that this character has been pri♑vy too, and we're going to list out another one of them.

The 142nd chapter of Naruto features a fight between Kakashi and Itachi. During this battle, it seems that Kishimoto goofed up and drew a normal headband for Itachi, instead of the slashed ꦯcounterpart that's worn by members of t📖he Akatsuki.

17 Kabuto's Glas🐈ses Disappear At One Point In The Manga ඣ

Kabuto is one of the weirder characters in Naruto, sporting an iconic pair of glasses that make him all the more distinctive. However, there are times when Kishimoto has forꦍgotten to draw these glasses a🥀ltogether.

To be more specific, this happened in chapter 521 of the Naruto manga. His glasses di🍬sappeared in one panel, but are very mucಞh present throughout the rest of the scene.

Small mistakes l🎃ike these are generally ignored for the most part, but hey — a mistake is a mista🦩ke, nevertheless.

16 Hanare's Earring Disapp൩earing In Episoജde 191

Oh, look, a filler character! Don't run away now, we pಌromise that we'll keep the mentions of any inconsequential characters to a bare minimum. Anyw🎐ay, it's time to stop messing around and highlight the mistake made in the anime for the character known as Hanare.

There's a point where Hanare is shown with some clearly distinct purple🐽 earrings. However, during this shot, the earrings just disappear at one point, before reappearing again.

Quite weird, innit?
