Naruto Creator Masashi Kishimoto Reportedly Working on New Manga

As a dedicated follower of Masashi Kishimoto‘s work since the early days of Naruto, this news has me both thrilled and patiently anticipating. With over 250 million copies sold, his manga has left an indelible mark on the world of anime and manga. The idea of a new series from the creator of Naruto is like dashing through the leaf village gates once more, filled with hope and excitement for what lies ahead.


In a recent interview with Naruto creator Masashi Kishimoto, the mangaka revealed that he is currently working on a new manga. This is based on the rumor that emerged online, suggesting Kishimoto-san teased a new project during an interview with fans. Mikio Ikemoto, the chief assistant to Kishimoto-san for Naruto, was also present. 

Various reports, now referring to Twitter as X, suggest that it’s a fresh manga. At a recent event in Paris, fans had the opportunity to engage with the manga creators and ask them questions about their projects. One user shared that the creator is seeking encouragement from loved ones to initiate work on a new manga.

Masashi Kishimoto disclosed that most of the work on “Boruto: Two Blue Vortex” is being handled by Mikio Ikemoto. After completing his illustrations for Naruto, Ikemoto opted to collaborate on the sequel series, “Boruto: Naruto Next Generations,” with Ukyo Kodachi. Fans have been brainstorming ideas about what future installments might bring.

According to reports, it seems that the manga creator is choosing to spend time with his family at present, which means a new series might not be coming out right away. However, since he’s known for doing one-shots like “Mario” and others such as “Bench” and “Karakuri”, there’s a chance we could see another one-shot soon. Some fans have even speculated whether the upcoming series could be a continuation of “Samurai 8”.

The renowned Mangaka Masashi Kishimoto has achieved an impressive milestone by selling over 250 million copies of the popular series Naruto. Beyond its success in manga form, this franchise has expanded into two animated series, movies, video games, and various other media. Following the conclusion of the original series in 2014, Shueisha requested Kishimoto to create a sequel. Instead, he suggested that Mikio Ikemoto should take on the task.

Important to mention, these predictions are speculative and stem from tweets by X. It’s uncertain if we’ll see Samurai 9, a Boruto: Two Blue Vortex sequel, or perhaps a continuation of Naruto – all depends on Masashi Kishimoto. Although the manga series may not be returning immediately, updates related to the manga might be shared in the coming weeks. Keep an eye out for further news!
