Naruto is 223 episode and Naruto Shippuuden is still going every thursday night. Now there is a 93 episode of Naruto Shippuuden. I also read manga of the Naruto too. Producers of the Naruto anime, doesn't follow manga much by making new episodes.
Naruto Shippuuden Plot Summary:Naruto Shippuuden is the continuation of the original animated TV series Naruto.The story revolves around an older and slightly more matured Uzumaki Naruto and his quest to save his friend Uchiha Sasuke from the grips of the snake-like Shinobi, Orochimaru. After 2 and a half years Naruto finally returns to his village of Konoha, and sets about putting his ambitions to work, though it will not be easy, as He has amassed a few (more dangerous) enemies, in the likes of the shinobi organization; Akatsuki.

Naruto Seals and Hand Signs Guide
In the Naruto Anime we see different types of seals.
Naruto has a seal to obtain The Kyuubi (Nine Tailed Fox) made by 4th Hokage (Naruto's Father). Naruto can control the Kyuubi's Chakra so he has a advantage. Disadvantage is by using kyuubi's chakra, his personality changes and he comes to the stage where his body and chakra takes a form of fox. This is called Demon Fox Cloak and it starts to grow tails by the time. After Naruto has 4 tails, his blood mixes with the chakra and he is heavily injuried. But by the time the seal weakens and if the seal broken Naruto's seal gets stronger by his stamina and his will.
Sasuke has a seal given by Orochimaru that gives a enormous amount of chakra to Sasuke. But if he uses that seal too much he can lose control of his body.
Gaara has seal at his forehead says 'love'. This seals is made by Gaara himself to remember his past and to understand the meaning of love after his closest family member (Gaara's Mother's Sister) tried to kill him. That was a order from Kazekage (Gaara's Father)
Hyuuga Neji has a seal of a Caged Bird given by Head Family Member of Hyuuga Clan. This seal is to control the branch family members by head family members. At Episode 61, we can see where Hyuuga Hiashi is used that seal to his brothers mind and killed brain cells.

Now to the hand signs

To perform a ninjutsu and genjutsu, hand seals combined with chakra are used. Each of the hand seals is based on an animal from the Chinese Zodiac, and shown below are a picture of the hand signs with their names.

Whether from some kind of Advanced Bloodline or incredible skill, Haku (Zabuza's friend), was able to perform Hand Seals with only 1 hand. It is still unexplained exactly how he was able to do this, but we do know Kakashi had never seen anything like it before. This suggests that it is something only made possible with Haku's bloodline, otherwise Kakashi would have probably known about it, but that's just a guess. Here is a Haku uses his one hand to perform a Jutsu;

There are many other Hand Seals, but they work slightly different than the ones shown above. Think of these other ones as finishing seals. Which, instead of being a used in many different jutsus, they're designated to their own specific jutsu, and appear after all the regular Hand Seals are made.Some of these finishing seals can be found below.


For example to perform a Chidori, you have to do these hand signs in order:

For Byakugan:

For Raikiri:
JutsusFire- Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu: Ox, Tiger, Horse, Boar, Rat, and Rooster
Earth Style: Fanged Pursuit Jutsu: Tiger, Snake, Dragon, Dog and then proceed to place palms on ground
Hijutsu: Makyou Hyoushou - Secret Technique: Demonic Ice Mirrors: Kyo
