There's also the alleged plan to get income from the video games side, especially from the upcoming Shinobi Strikers, the new app that just came out with the world building feature and the Ultimate Ninja Storm Legacy series that is heading towards the Nintendo Switch this year.
And tricksie, on bolded, they won't do that. They don't have the guts to somehow get Naruto back into character (unless they say reboot). The only thing I will come back if and ONLY if:Guess?
Oh yeah! I completely forgot about the video games and any future app stuff. That's a whole other lucrative area that didn't want to let go of either.
Yeah, they'd never get NS back together, not in Boruto or any direction the franchise is going now.
But I could easily see a reboot of the series with the NH and Boruto stuff being dismissed as being part of Obito's giant genjutsu plot. I swear, it almost reads like that anyway. So maybe they're hedging their bets — run with Boruto for a while. Let the series cool off. Then ride a nostalgia wave back with a reboot.
