Since 1997, Kishimoto has been ruling the manga world, and who can forget his iconic creation, Naruto?! The franchise has been thriving for two decades, and even though Kishimoto is busy with the Naruto sequel, it seems he’s got a fresh project cooking!

As you know, Kishimoto has been consumed by the world of Naruto since 1999, and it seems he’s finally ready to move on from the Hidden Leaf.

“Twelve years ago the Village Hidden in the Leaves was attacked by a fearsome threat. A nine-tailed fox spirit claimed the life of the village leader, the Hokage, and many others. Today, the village is at peace and a troublemaking kid named Naruto is struggling to graduate from Ninja Academy. His goal may be to become the next Hokage, but his true destiny will be much more complicated. The adventure begins now!”
