499 chapters and counting :). (Now there is 514 chapters and counting!) October.18,2010
in mangafox.com there are already 524 chapters but is still ongoing and who knows what chapter may it reach to...
Chapters 430 to like 444. The way the chapters are im guessing that it how much is about Naruto vs. Pain.
Episode 242 is trying to catch up to the latest manga chapters. Most likely this episode is equivalent to chapters 491 to maybe 493. Then chapter 494 will be caught up with the next episode of Naruto Shippuden.
You can read all the chapters of the manga in manga animea or manga fox.
Yes, Naruto fights Madara in chapter 562 (, you can read manga chapters on Mangahit.com)
you can read them online at mangareader.net. you can also download the chapters from narutoverse. :) hope this helps!
