Ratings and reviews

A great way of starting the next chapter in the Naruto Saga. The new kids were so entertaining!! Can't wait to see this new generation of shinobi grow up!

I'm a die hard fan as well.. Been hooked on naruto for years.. Since I was 5 I started watching on adult swim.. Now I'm 16 and still watching and still plan too as well as playing the future games lol

this was a great little epilogue to series can't wait for the boruto series to get its own legs... I has been a slow starter.

About the author

Author/artist Masashi Kishimoto was born in 1974 in rural Okayama Prefecture, Japan. Like many kids, he was first inspired to become a manga artist in elementary school when he read Dragon Ball. After spending time in art college, he won the Hop Step Award for new manga artists with his story Karakuri. After considering various genres for his next project, Kishimoto decided on a story steeped in traditional Japanese culture. His first version of Naruto, drawn in 1997, was a one-shot story about fox spirits; his final version, which debuted in Weekly Shonen Jump in 1999, quickly became the most popular ninja manga in the world. The series would also spawn multiple anime series, movies, novels, video games and more. Having concluded the series in late 2014, Masashi Kishimoto has kept himself busy this year with the side story Naruto: The Seventh Hokage and the Scarlet Spring and writing the story for the latest Naruto movie, Boruto: Naruto the Movie, both of which will focus on the title character's son, Boruto.
