Anime-Manga Differences Spoiler
Plot and Content Changes
- At the opening of Pain's assault on Konoha, the Animal Path summons a single centipede that Sakura dispatches in the manga. The anime triples the count: Sakura still kills one as in the source, Shikamaru takes out a second, and the third's fate is never shown. (Manga: chapter 421, pages 1-2)
- Once Kakashi rescues him from Pain in the manga, Iruka heads to Sakura with the news that Akatsuki is behind the attack. The anime moves that exchange to before his run-in with Pain — and Iruka can only tell Sakura that the village is under attack, without knowing who's responsible. (Manga: chapter 421, page 3)
