CardSpicy builds card protection products and runs this collector’s index. We cover Pokémon, One Piece, Gundam, Dragon Ball, Naruto, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Digimon and Riftbound, plus our newer sections on Magic: The Gathering, Disney Lorcana, Star Wars: Unlimited, Flesh and Blood and UNION ARENA — every card game we index in full, with the sleeves and rigid holders that fit them. We sell PSA 10 only, because that is the grade the market actually trades.
Naruto is the fourth card line we index, and the one that works differently. There is no graded price guide for Naruto cards the way there is for Pokémon and Dragon Ball, so this page does not rank anything by price. Instead it indexes what actually exists: the sets, the rarity ladder, and the characters the cards are built around.
We started with Pokémon and we are adding the other card games our customers collect beside it. Naruto is the odd one out of the group. The line that dominates it is KAYOU’s Naruto collectible cards — originally a Simplified Chinese print run, now also issued in English editions for North America and South-East Asia — and those cards carry no cost, no combat values and no rules text. They are made to be collected and looked at, not played. Two playable Naruto games exist beside them and both are still young: Naruto Mythos, which reached its second set in 2026, and Bandai’s Naruto Card Game, which debuted at Gen Con 2026 and is not out until 2027. Everything below is written around that reality.
The numbers here come from what the manufacturers print on the product — set names, pack configuration, card counts and rarity spreads. We do not list graded prices for these cards, because no tracked market for them exists yet, and we would rather leave a number out than print one we cannot stand behind.
Quick answer
CardSpicy’s Naruto hub covers the rarity ladder, the sets it tracks and every character page across 10 sections, and points to 101 further Naruto pages.
What the grid shows
Every tile is a character, with the group they belong to and the era they first appear in. The colour of the dot marks where that character enters the story:
Hover or focus a tile for a note on the character and, where we can point to it, the tier their chase cards sit in. The group tag on the left of each tile is the team or village the character belongs to — Leaf, Sand, Mist, Cloud, Stone, Akatsuki, Sound, the tailed beasts, and the Otsutsuki.
- Part 1 characters introduced in the original Naruto run
- Shippuden characters introduced or defined in the second series
- Boruto the next generation
The rarity ladder
KAYOU Naruto runs a longer rarity ladder than most card games, and the codes are not self-explanatory. Below is the full order, lowest to highest. The four bands are ours, not the manufacturer’s: they mark how hard a tier is to pull in practice.
| Tier | Name | Band | What it is |
|---|---|---|---|
| R | Rare | Base | In every pack, every time. The bulk of any opening, and where most character collections actually start. |
| SR | Super Rare | Base | Consistent across boxes. If you are building around one character, SR cards give you the most options. |
| SSR | Super Super Rare | Base | The first tier that feels different in hand. Not in every pack, but a full box shows a solid spread. |
| TR | Transparent Rare | Hit | See-through cardstock with chibi character art. One of the visibly distinct foils. |
| HR | Holographic Rare | Hit | Hologram stock, printed in the higher box tiers. |
| ZR | Z Rare | Hit | Rainbow-stock cards, a tier-two box exclusive. |
| TGR | Transparent Gold Rare | Hit | The gold version of the transparent tier. |
| UR | Ultra Rare | Hit | The community’s benchmark for a “hit”. UR and above is the shorthand for a chase pull. |
| OR | Over Rare | Chase | Sits above UR, with heavier treatments and a lower pull rate. |
| AR | Art Rare | Chase | Full-art battle scenes on foiled stock. Introduced to the English line with Jin Chapter Series 2. |
| SLR | Star Light Rare | Chase | Ultra-rare rainbow-stock cards out of the tier-four and EX packs. |
| SP | Special | Chase | High-rarity cards with special specifications. Popular characters carry most of the value here. |
| CP | Cloud Print | Chase | Gold cards exclusive to the Itachi Cloud Box (tier 2.5). |
| GP | Gold Print | Chase | Tier-one exclusive gold cards. |
| MR | Miracle Rare | High | Extremely rare, and one of the tiers collectors track hardest. |
| CR | Crystal Rare | High | A tier-two exclusive high chase. |
| NR | Noble Rare | High | Rainbow-specification rare cards, tier-three exclusive. |
| BP | Battle Print | High | Artist-rare battle art. Tier four, from wave two onward. |
| PTR | Poster Rare | Special | Poster art from across the anime’s run. Debuted with Ninja Age and the tier-four-wave-six line. |
| PU | Parallel Ultra | Special | A parallel treatment introduced from tier four, wave six onward. |
| XR | Scroll Rare | Special | Scroll-style art, including numbered copies, from the Ninja Age box. |
| QR | Chibi Rare | Special | Chibi art, serial-numbered out of 720 or 72. QR-code redemption in China. |
| SE | Special Edition | Top | Panorama designs and the highest rarity in the line. Early waves numbered 777, then 199 / 699 / 999 per character. |
Two things are worth knowing before you buy on rarity alone. First, the tier codes are not evenly spread: some are locked to particular box tiers and never appear in the cheaper product, so a checklist that shows “every tier” is not the same as a box that can produce every tier. Second, KAYOU does not publish pull rates, so anything you read about odds is a community estimate rather than a guarantee.
If you are working by era rather than by set, the three period pages are the faster route: Part 1 covers the 38 characters of the original run, Shippuden the 59 of the second era, and Boruto the 13 of the next generation. Each lists who belongs to it and what their cards are actually printed in.
The sets we track
Naruto’s collectible line is organised into named series rather than a single running set. The table below covers the sets we can state the configuration for. Card counts are the number of distinct card types in the set, as published for the product.
| Set | Edition | Card types | Configuration | Rarity spread |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jin Chapter Series 1 | English (SEA) | 158 | 10 packs × 5 cards | R 50 · SR 20 · SSR 24 · PTR 20 · UR 15 · PU 8 · MR 6 · BP 7 · SP 4 · SE 4 |
| Jin Chapter Series 2 | English (SEA) | 168 | 10 packs × 5 cards | R 50 · SR 20 · SSR 23 · PTR 20 · UR 15 · PU 8 · AR 10 · MR 7 · BP 7 · SP 4 · SE 4 |
| Jin Chapter Series 3 | English (NA) | — | Booster box | ASP numbered /99 · SE /220 · AR /777 · BP /999 · plus unnumbered MR / PU / HR / Diamond-UR / UR |
| Earth Scroll Series 1 | English (SEA) | 131 | 30 packs × 5 cards | R 50 · SR 20 · SSR 24 · UR 15 · AR 10 · MR 4 · SP 4 · CR 4 |
| Earth Scroll Series 2 | English (SEA) | 132 | 30 packs × 4 cards | R 50 · SR 20 · SSR 25 · UR 15 · AR 10 · MR 4 · Diamond-UR 4 · CR 4 |
| Heaven Scroll Series 1 | English (NA) | — | 24 packs × 8 cards | SP and SE at the top; the four SE cards are the Land of Waves set — Sasuke, Naruto, Zabuza and Haku |
| Ninja Age special pack | Simplified Chinese | — | 10 packs × 5 cards | XR · QR · MR · SP · UR · PTR · SSR · SR · R |
Where a card count is marked — it is because the manufacturer has never published one in a form we can verify, and we will not guess. Series 3 and Heaven Scroll Series 1 both work by number — the box tells you how many copies of each top-tier card exist, not how many card types are in the set.
The characters, in more detail
The grid above is the index. This is the part worth reading if you want to know who you are looking at when you open a box.
Team 7 — the three the whole story hangs on
Naruto Uzumaki is the series protagonist and its most-collected character. He starts as the village outcast with a tailed beast sealed inside him and ends as the Seventh Hokage, and his cards track that whole arc: Part 1 genin, Sage Mode, Nine-Tails chakra mode, and finally Six Paths Sage Mode. Across the KAYOU sets his name is attached to the highest tiers — the SE tier in Jin Chapter Series 1, the SP tier in Series 1, and the numbered SE tier in Series 3.
Sasuke Uchiha is the rival half of that pair, and his cards move in the same direction: genin, Cursed Seal, Mangekyo Sharingan, and the Rinnegan. He shares the top chase tiers with Naruto in Jin Chapter Series 1 and Series 3, which is why the two are usually the most expensive cards in any set they headline.
Sakura Haruno completes the team. She is the strongest medical ninja in the series by the end and one of the few characters whose cards run from Part 1 straight through to Boruto without a gap.
Kakashi Hatake, the Copy Ninja, is their first teacher and later the Sixth Hokage. He is one of the characters KAYOU names in the Jin Chapter Series 1 SP tier, alongside Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura. Sai joins the team after Sasuke leaves, and Yamato leads it in Kakashi’s absence.
The Hokage and the Sannin
Konoha’s leaders are a small, heavily collected group. Hashirama Senju founded the village and mastered Wood Style; Tobirama Senju created the Flying Raijin and the Edo Tensei; Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Professor, held the office longest; Minato Namikaze, Naruto’s father, was the fastest ninja of his era and is named in the Jin Chapter Series 1 MR tier with Naruto and Kakashi. Tsunade is both a Hokage and one of the three Sannin.
The Sannin themselves — Jiraiya, Tsunade and Orochimaru — are the three students of the Third Hokage, and Orochimaru is the series’ longest-running antagonist. Kushina Uzumaki, Naruto’s mother, is the previous Nine-Tails jinchuriki, and Danzo Shimura runs Root from behind the village’s official leadership.
Konoha’s other teams
The classmates from Naruto’s year are where a lot of the set’s structure comes from, because they fill out the middle rarities in every release. Shikamaru Nara is the strategist, Choji Akimichi the Akimichi heir, and Ino Yamanaka their teammate. Kiba Inuzuka fights with his ninken, Shino Aburame commands insects, and Hinata Hyuga is the Byakugan user who ends up marrying Naruto. Her cousin Neji Hyuga leads the CR tier of Earth Scroll Series 1 alongside Gaara. Rock Lee and his teacher Might Guy are the taijutsu pair, Tenten is the weapons specialist, and Asuma Sarutobi and Kurenai Yuhi lead the other two teams.
Konohamaru Sarutobi, the Third Hokage’s grandson, grows from a prankster into Boruto’s teacher; Iruka Umino is the Academy teacher who first treats Naruto as a person; and Shizune is Tsunade’s assistant.
Sand, Mist, Cloud and Stone
Gaara is the standout of the other villages. The One-Tail’s jinchuriki and the Fifth Kazekage, he fights with sand alone, and his cards lead the CR tiers of both Earth Scroll series. His siblings Temari and Kankuro are the wind user and the puppet master, and their father Rasa is the Fourth Kazekage.
From the Hidden Mist: Zabuza Momochi and Haku are the first real enemies Team 7 faces, and they headline the SE tier of Jin Chapter Series 1 and return as the four SE cards of Heaven Scroll Series 1. Kisame Hoshigaki is one of the Seven Swordsmen and Itachi’s partner, and Mei Terumi is the Fifth Mizukage. From the Hidden Cloud: Killer B, the Eight-Tails’ jinchuriki, and the Fourth Raikage A, with Darui succeeding him. From the Hidden Stone: Onoki, the Third Tsuchikage, and his granddaughter Kurotsuchi.
Akatsuki and the Hidden Sound
The Akatsuki are the most collected villain group in the line, and Itachi Uchiha sits at the top of it: his cards lead the CR tier of Earth Scroll Series 2 and the BP tier of Jin Chapter Series 3. Pain, the six bodies Nagato controls from Amegakure, is the one who levels Konoha; Konan is the organisation’s only woman. The rest of the roster — Deidara with his clay, Sasori with his puppets, the immortal Hidan, the heart-stealing Kakuzu, and the spy Zetsu — fills out the middle tiers almost every release.
Orochimaru’s Hidden Sound gives the sets a second antagonist line: Kabuto Yakushi, his spy; Suigetsu Hozuki, who can turn to water; Karin, the sensory healer; Jugo, the source of the curse mark; and Kimimaro, who fights with his own bones.
The tailed beasts and the Otsutsuki
The tailed beasts are characters in their own right and get their own cards. Kurama, the Nine-Tails, is the one sealed inside Naruto and the pivot the plot turns on; Gyuki, the Eight-Tails, is sealed inside Killer B; and Shukaku, the One-Tail, is sealed inside Gaara. Above them sit the Otsutsuki: Hagoromo, the Sage of Six Paths, and Kaguya, the final antagonist of the Shippuden run.
Boruto — the next generation
The Boruto line is the newest and the thinnest in the sets we track, but it is growing. Boruto Uzumaki is Naruto’s son and the lead; Sarada Uchiha, Sasuke and Sakura’s daughter, is aiming for Hokage; Mitsuki is Orochimaru’s synthetic son; and Kawaki is the Kara vessel taken in by the Uzumaki household.
Every character, page by page
The grid above gives each character one line. Every one of them also has its own page, which sets out every card the manufacturer’s gallery holds for that character — card number, version, rarity, chakra, power and the effect printed on it — and, where the gallery holds nothing, says so plainly instead of filling the space. They are grouped the way we file them.
- Leaf — Team 7, the Hokage line, the other teams and the next generation (34) — Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, Sakura Haruno, Kakashi Hatake, Tsunade, Jiraiya, Rock Lee, Kiba Inuzuka, Neji Hyuga, Shikamaru Nara, Hinata Hyuga, Ino Yamanaka, Choji Akimichi, Shino Aburame, Tenten, Asuma Sarutobi, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Kurenai Yuhi, Might Guy, Iruka Umino, Shizune, Minato Namikaze, Hashirama Senju, Tobirama Senju, Konohamaru Sarutobi, Boruto Uzumaki, Danzo Shimura, Kawaki, Kushina Uzumaki, Mitsuki, Sai, Sarada Uchiha, Shisui Uchiha, Yamato
- Sand (4) — Gaara, Temari, Kankuro, Rasa
- Mist (4) — Zabuza Momochi, Haku, Kisame Hoshigaki, Mei Terumi
- Cloud (3) — Darui, Fourth Raikage A, Killer B
- Stone (2) — Kurotsuchi, Onoki
- Akatsuki (10) — Itachi Uchiha, Deidara, Hidan, Kakuzu, Konan, Madara Uchiha, Obito Uchiha, Pain, Sasori, Zetsu
- Hidden Sound (6) — Orochimaru, Kimimaro, Kabuto Yakushi, Jugo, Karin, Suigetsu Hozuki
- The tailed beasts (3) — Kurama, Shukaku, Gyuki
- The Otsutsuki (2) — Hagoromo Otsutsuki, Kaguya Otsutsuki
Where a character page says the gallery holds no record, that is the honest answer rather than an unfinished page: what limits the list is how far the recorded sets reach, not the character. The same data taken the other way round — every record, character by character — is on the full Naruto card list.
The three Naruto card games
If you are buying Naruto cards, it is worth knowing which of the three products you are holding, because they are not interchangeable and none of them can be played against the others.
- KAYOU Naruto — the collectible line. The one most Naruto cards come from. It began as a Simplified Chinese print run and now ships English editions too. The cards have no cost and no rules text: they are made to be collected, and the rarity ladder above is what decides their standing.
- Naruto Mythos — a playable game. A proper trading card game that passed its first year and reached its second set in 2026, built around numbered rare cards and a small number of alternate secret rares. It plays like a TCG, and its cards are not the same cards as the KAYOU line.
- Bandai’s Naruto Card Game — not out yet. Announced in 2026 and shown at Gen Con that summer, with a worldwide release set for 2027. It is built around a Leader card, a deck, Chakra and Summon cards, and it is unrelated to the out-of-print Bandai Naruto CCG that ran from 2006 to 2013.
Card protection fits these cards too
Every trading card we deal in — Pokémon, One Piece, Gundam, Dragon Ball and Naruto — is printed at the same standard size, 63 × 88 mm. The sleeves and rigid holders we make cover all of them, so one set of protection handles every series on this site.

Frequently asked questions
What does the Naruto card grid on this page show?
It is the 68 characters we index, grouped by affiliation — Leaf, Akatsuki, Sand, Mist, Cloud, Stone, Sound, the tailed beasts and the Otsutsuki — with the sets and rarity tiers each character appears in.
Which Naruto card products does CardSpicy index?
Three. KAYOU’s Naruto collectible line, which is where most Naruto cards come from; Naruto Mythos, a playable trading card game on its second set; and Bandai’s Naruto Card Game, announced in 2026 with a worldwide release set for summer 2027.
Does this page list Naruto card prices?
No. This is a scarcity index, not a price guide, and it quotes no values. No published price guide carries a Naruto category and the manufacturer does not publish pull rates or print totals, so the page carries the part of the picture that can be sourced and stops there.
What do the KAYOU Naruto rarity codes mean?
They are tier codes printed on the card. The order runs R, SR, SSR, TR, HR, ZR, TGR, UR, OR, AR, SLR, SP, CP, GP, MR, CR, NR, BP, PTR, PU, XR, QR and SE. Several of those codes are exclusive to one box tier, so a set’s full range is not the same as what any one box can produce.
Are Naruto cards the same size as Pokémon cards?
Yes. Naruto cards are printed at the standard trading card size, 63 × 88 mm, the same as Pokémon, One Piece, Gundam and Dragon Ball cards. A standard-size sleeve and a standard 3" × 4" rigid holder fit them, with no Naruto-specific product needed.
