Dattebayo has recently announced they'd be dropping Naruto.
They announced this after Tokyo TV announced that they would start uploading Naruto via Crunchyroll, just 1hr after airing on TV. This will be uploaded with English Subtitles and can be viewed for a small fee. This will be beginning January 8th 2009.
Also, Viz Media will also be uploading English Subtitled Naruto episodes for free. These will be uploaded a week after the airing on naruto.com, and will begin on January 15th 2009.
Dattebayo expect that because of this, they will be asked by Viz Media to subbing Naruto, which will make fans annoyed. They do not wish fans to do so, so they have chosen to stop of there own free will. There will stop when Viz Media services start on January 15th 2009.
