Naruto manga and show shippuuden?

Question

im on episode 72 of naruto shippuuden and want to keep going and going to start reading the manga but i cant find what book its going on. so does anyone know what book it would be that i should start on if i wanted to keep going after the new episode of shippuuden?

Answer 1

Well they are related the episodes follow the manga with the exception of fillers to give them time to draw the anime and so the anime doesent get too close to the manga but they are on manga 314 leaves off right where hidan attacks the jinchuuriki.

Answer 2

they are not related. on shippuuden there are kind of filler episodes, but manga is far far away. you should just start reading from where starts shippuuden, the chapter is named "Naruto's Returs"its 245 chapter
