In 2022, Naruto celebrates the twentieth anniversary of the original broadcast of the anime series produced by Studio Pierrot. But this is not the only big event in sight for the Masashi Kishimoto franchise. A theatrical show was scheduled to take place in the coming weeks, which the manga author celebrated with an original sketch.
Japan was about to welcome that Live Spectacle NARUTO – Ninkai Taisen, Kaisen (Shinobi World War, Outbreaks), a theatrical comedy that was canceled due to the spread of a coronavirus epidemic among the cast. The twelve performances scheduled in Tokyo between September 17 and 15, 2022 have all been cancelled.
However, the cancellation of appointments did not stop there Masashi Kishimoto, who made a special original sketch thanking the fans for the stage play. The artwork he designed, which you can find in the tweet at the end of the article, portrays the Uzumaki family. Naruto finds his parents in the center of the illustration, Minato on the right and Kushina on the left. In Boruto, Naruto is now the father. How do you think he’s doing?
Naruto didn’t know about it for a long timeIdentity of his mother and father, who died for him and for the entire Leaf Village when he had a few hours to live. Finally, in the image of Kishimoto, Naruto can finally smile next to his mother Kushina and father Minato.
Translation: Thank you everyone for coming to see the stage play. This year’s show has episodes that are very special to me. I hope you can enjoy them!
