I have followed Naruto only via its manga and, barring a few episodes, I
haven't seen much of the animated series. Considering that the manga ended
almost a year ago, I am very much out of the Naruto universe.

Few months ago, I came across some posts that mentioned Itachi getting a
separate anime series of his own, with trailers of the series uploaded on
YouTube. Today I saw some amvs titled Itachi Shinden and a part of the episode
which has Shisui and kid Itachi fighting the ANBU.

A few internet searches yielded that Itachi Shinden is actually an animated
adaption of the novel of the same name. However, I couldn't find whether it's
a separate series that was being talked about or part of Naruto Shippuden
fillers.

question
naruto
Is Itachi Shinden a separate anime series or part of Naruto Shippuden itself?


Itachi Shinden is in fact a part of the Naruto series. The myth is that Itachi
Shinden will have its own anime, this is not true. Itachi Shinden will be an
arc attached to the current Naruto Anime. In the current anime of Naruto,
Itachi's life has been shown while he was active in the ANBU, however, the new
arc introduces a new look to Itachi's life, his personal life. Not much is yet
known but it's definitely an arc of Naruto seeing as it was also created by
Masashi Kishimoto.

Anyway, I hope this helped you find your answer.
