Masashi Kishimoto's Naruto series officially wrapped up in the manga on November 24, 2014, in Weekly Shonen Jump Issue #50. The anime followed suit just a couple of years later on March 23, 2017, with episode 500. The Naruto franchise has since continued with the Boruto series. However, the original story stopped with the conclusion of the Fourth Great Ninja War, a short timeskip, and Naruto's ascension to the position of the Seventh Hokage.

 

Now, almost 10 years later, TV Tokyo is officially bringing back the Naruto franchise in 2027, as they announced recently on May 19, 2026, during their latest fiscal report announcement.

TV Tokyo Officially Confirms A Naruto Comeback For 2027 To Celebrate 25th Anniversary

 

In the latest Q&A for its earnings briefings held on May 19, TV Tokyo officially confirmed that a Naruto comeback is on the cards in honor of its 25th Anniversary, which is set to be next year in 2027. While the specifics of the comeback aren't fully clear yet, what we know already is that this comeback is going to be in two forms, with the first being a game and the second being a video project.

“We see the 25th anniversary [Naruto‘s] as the beginning of a new stage, and we have several projects planned to capture that. New projects, including videos and games developed with new partners, are planned for 2027 and beyond.“

A New Naruto Game With A New Partner Will Be Released In 2027

TV Tokyo has confirmed that a new Naruto game is in development. Unlike its previous games, which were made in collaboration with CyberConnect2 and Bandai, this one is going to be made with a different partner. Exactly who is going to be involved remains to be seen. This game is scheduled to release at some point in 2027, but more information about it will be released later down the line.

 

Historically, Naruto games have always proven to be a phenomenal experience for all the fans such as Storm 4, while the Boruto games that were released in the more recent years were not able to replicate the same heights. A Naruto game that goes back to the roots would be something exciting for all the fans, especially to mark the 25th anniversary. More information about this game should be released by the end of 2026, and fans hope for something that beautifully ties in the story of Naruto and Boruto and, at the same time, potentially even expands the lore of the world in unique ways.

New Naruto Video Projects Are On The Way For A 2027 Release

Most importantly, the new TV Tokyo report confirms that a couple of new video projects are on the way to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the Naruto franchise as well. It is unclear as to what exactly these video projects are. This could be a new Naruto anime that is set in the timeskip between the end of the 4th Grade Ninja War and the beginning of the Boruto era. It could simply be a remake, which is also likely, given that One Piece recently announced its own remake and Dragon Ball Super is also getting one around the same time. Naruto, being one of the biggest anime franchises in the world, could potentially be getting a remake of its own, and that would also be incredibly exciting for the fans, as it would breathe new life into the franchise.

 

The chances of it being a new Naruto movie are also high, and we would be delighted if that were to be the case. Naruto movies have always been huge hits, and since the last one dropped on August 7, 2015, it is time the franchise gets another one and taps into the unlimited potential that it holds.

Naruto's 4 Special Episodes Could Be Released In Late 2026

The video project in question could also simply be referring to the four Naruto episodes that were first promised in 2023. Studio Pierrot and TV Tokyo both advertised these four episodes, but they ended up facing significant delay and have since been on hiatus. No major information has been revealed about these four new episodes since, although recent leaks suggest that they are scheduled to air at some point in 2026. Perhaps, this project has been delayed once again and is now being scheduled for a 2027 release to coincide with the 25th anniversary of the Naruto series.

 

In either case, these four new episodes are coming fans' way soon, be it late 2026 or 2027. These episodes are going to take us all the way back to the pre-Shippuden era of the Naruto series and give us one more look at Team 7 as it was in the past, exploring the ninja world and embarking on various missions. Hopefully, Studio Pierrot delivers this batch of episodes soon, and after all this wait, ensures that it is up to the mark both in terms of story writing and animation.

A Full Naruto Revival In 2027 Is On The Cards

The recent fiscal report for TV Tokyo clearly indicates that even though Naruto ended around 10 years ago, it is still the highest revenue-generating series for the TV station. Boruto, which is the continuation of Naruto, finished second in the year. As such, TV Tokyo has realized that they need to invest in the Naruto franchise more and aim for its revival. This is precisely why a new Naruto game is scheduled for 2027, along with new video projects.

“It's kind of like a prayer. To keep enduring until it comes to be, no matter what. And to those whom that task falls on…Perhaps that is what it means to be a ninja.” — Naruto Uzumaki’s last message, Chapter 699

No matter which way we look at it, it is evident that the Naruto franchise is set for a major revival moving forward, and that is something that we are incredibly excited to see. Fans would absolutely love to see Masashi Kishimoto, the creator of the series, collaborate with the TV station and Studio Pierrot to deliver an original anime that continues the story of Naruto following the conclusion of the 4th Great Ninja War, although that is merely our hope as fans.

 

Another interesting approach would be for them to simply reanimate the entirety of Naruto, this time without fillers, modern animation, and better pacing. The game also cannot be underestimated, especially because Naruto games in the past have been incredibly popular and delivered an unmatchable experience. With the franchise reaching such a huge milestone, fans are incredibly excited to see what they get next year, and the stage is being set for it already.

 

 

Unless they reboot and fix the following I don't care! 

• Expand og Naruto. Show us how team 7 works and progress. Especially the friendship between Naruto and Sasuke. Because in the og Narutos obsession made no sense. And no Ahura/Indra being the reason also don't make sense because the others weren't obsessed to the lvl Naruto is.
• Fix the ending of Pein arc. What we got was embarrassing.
• Erase everything else. The war, the finale. Leave only Minato/Kushina storyline.
• Respect your own work and your fans. Do not gaslight us and insult our intelligence.
• Character progression should be respected. Not disrespected and doing character regression/assassination. Example: Sakura

I could write more. But if they don't put even this bare min I will not watch it. That is even if we do get a remake. 

[Bail o' Lies]

Ew they picked the Baryon/Suicide Nuke Mode for their image.

 

Anyways. Remember Boruto exist because they wanted to keep making money from the Naruto Franchise. It is still, even twelve years later, TV Tokyo's highest grossing anime IP. While they had to cancel/suspend the Boruto anime, the manga has slipped to 50,000 volumes sold, and it is clear to anyone that looks at this franchise; Ikemoto cannot turn this around. Boruto only value at the moment is its licensing fees because its tied to Naruto. So the only way to make money is to go backwards. The biggest complaint from anyone that has even heard of Naruto, is their endless filler. One of the main things people want is for them to do is a Naruto Kai to get rid of them. Of course that removes all their Hinata scenes they made to build up their preferred pairing. If they just continue from the end of the War arc; that won't work because they already did that as filler in the anime to stall while they prepared to adapt Boruto.

 

The Ninja Storms games were a huge successes, especially for an anime games. That Boruto connections game if not a flop was disappointing compared to their earlier works and that was with the player playing as Naruto for like 75% of the game as well as making it a nostalgia trip as much as they could. Also CC2 had to make an original story for their game instead of adapting the manga like they used to do, that Kishimoto even praised them for because they were able to enhance his story, because there was so little story in Boruto. 

 

A Four Episode Miniseries has taken an extra 3 years to come out.

 

So this screams that they are tired of Boruto not making money and they want to go back to Naruto. Will they fix anything? Who knows.

I would add "NaruSaku as the end paring" and "give the entire fandom a public apology for Boruto AND the "The Last" movie"... But we don't even know if GETTING a reboot anyway.

 

Also, maybe use more of Kishimotto's ideas? Like letting team seven go out on more ninja missions before the Chunin exams for the world building we didn't get? or having more animal characters for a nod to the idea that the series was originally be about JUST Naruto working with a team of animals? Few other things too, but none I can think of off the top of my head. Sakura should still be Naruto's final girl either way though.

[NarutoUzumaki01]

So we've got update on it, presumably its between ending of original and burito-salad story, any thoughts about it?

[Bail o' Lies]

Its a Naruto vs Sasuke final battle rematch fight before Naruto becomes Hokage. Since Salad was just born that means they have actually contradicted the old established Naruto's inauguration. As he was knocked out by the daughter and Kakashi was still Hokage when Mirai was a genin 6 years before her side story. Even then it was constantly implied that Naruto had only recently became Hokage. Now he has been Hokage for most of Bolt's life.

 

Problem is, a better fight is nice, but it doesn't fix anything. Being a Hokage longer doesn't mean anything unless he does some reforms like he was suppose do. Which if they keep to Boruto, he cannot do. Not only that but its been 13 years since the ending when it comes out.

 

This is too little a fix at too late time for addressing the issues with the franchise. While he probably always wanted to expanded upon the final battle. As it was clearly rush due to him needing to end it before chapter 700. That should have been done years ago. Preferably before The Anime went with the gag inauguration, twice.

 

The only way for any revival or fix to work is something drastic and eye catching. It not like it would take long to make a better story than Ikemoto's Boruto. It would only take about 3 years to make a manga better and longer than his. Due to how little of story he has made over the past decade. But Kishimoto doesn't have the spine for that. This is too safe and will be either rejected or accepted but forgotten afterwards. It is plugging holes on a sunk ship.

Presented unfinished drafts, especially funny - how its exactly main 3, nowhere it is "new heroine" or anything related to that in those. And the suffix of "shadow rising" supposed to be a double play or something? Like both road to hokage and new threat implied?

 

Looking at Kishimoto's work after og ending, it was what? Gaiden, that kittens on Sakura, where main question was "did Sasuke really cucked Sakura?" and a throwaway bad guy on part with boruto's desings, the last, where Kishimoto couldn't figure out if he's the one who wrote story or not, hokage chapter that just mocked Narutos original goal for a gag and Minato anniversary one shot, apart from those it was 8 samurai that didn't take off, and that landed him back on supervising Buruto part 2?. From all those works, only Minatos chapter felt right, maybe because it was about already established (and deceased) characters, or he had to look through what he wrote to back in the day to make it read right, but that was good chapter.

 

In all other cases it was either poor writing in general or another nail in characters he wrote in main story. I see alot of people hope that this retcons Boruto, and while I agree, Buruto is generally a thing that should not be, a blatant cashgrab attempt, what would retconing it do? If the ending of Naruto is not rewritten/expanded in drastic ways, all main faults stay in places. Honestly don't see any point in this, apart from anniversary and another alley oop for revenue, from people that grow up with Naruto and would now be able to read something new about it, thats not both, bad quality and disrespectful to OG source like Boruto is.

[NaruSaku fan in Kentucky]

I don't care anymore. The damage is done. He should have made it canon in 2014.

[Nostradamus]

Oh boy. Here we go again.

So we're getting a "new" ending/extra stuff added to it. I don't even know where to start with this one.

So apparently we're getting the Naruto vs Sasuke fight that Sasuke talked about at the end of the manga. Well no thank you.

I can't believe after all these years they haven't learned a thing. Adding extra stuff to the original crap ending or modifying certain things but keeping the same ending is not what any of the fans asked for or wanted.

This doesn't show them recognizing that they messed up and are now trying to fix it, this is just them doubling down. Basically giving the middle finger to the fans. Which in turn will get the same treatment from the fans.

This is not going to work for them since all they're doing is adding extra bits to the mess and calling it a day.

 

We need a true redo of the ending chapters. They have to pick a moment from the manga let's say chapter 670 (don't remember what exactly was going on in those chapters) but let's say this one and declare that everything that originally happened back then no longer exists. They have to set a cutout point and declare that everything past this chapter no longer exists. It's no longer canon. Should not be taken in consideration at all. It's gone. It got erased from canon existence. It exists in what was done back then, but it's no longer part of Naruto, of the story. It was a mistake of the past. One we need to move on from it to build a better future.

 

I say this because we all know that Naruto has many problems and let's be realistic a true re-write of the manga will never happen and it's not really feasible. So what can you do is deliver a new ending and continue from the new ending. And with the ending, you can't just redo a chapter and problem solved. You have to go back a bit, not much, but just a little bit to give yourself something to work with.

 

What I would've done and this is something I just came up as I was writing this message.

Is pick the moment after Madara does his infinite tsukuyomi and redo those moments. Have Naruto and Sasuke struggle to defeat Madara, don't resurrect Kaguya, with help from Obito, Kakashi, Sakura they manage to defeat Madara (or do they), undo the infinite tsukuyomi, then Sasuke retreats and warns Naruto to be ready for their final showdown. A battle to determine the true way of the ninja world. And one of them will have to die.

We see Naruto and the rest back in Konoha; Sakura and Naruto have a proper talk about everything, she opens up about the fact that she almost lost him in the war and doesn't to lose him, that he was dying in her arms while she was pumping his heart, she opens up to the real meaning behind her confession to him, that she grew to care about him way more than she thought she ever will, that the younger self was infatuated with Sasuke because all the other girls were as well, but over time she realized that is was just a childhood crush and the one she fell for was right next to her. This is also where it's finally revealed that Naruto was the one from the bench that day. Thus NaruSaku becomes canon as it was suppose to be from the very beginning.

Hinata gets her closure as well because she realizes that she never was in love with Naruto, but his never giving up attitude which helped her grow.

 

And we get to the final battle Naruto vs Sasuke. The battle is decently long, not like it was originally, it's not rushed, it's well done, good dialogue, etc.

And here we get a twist. Madara returns. It's revealed that in the fight against Naruto and Sasuke; he couldn't beat them all, so he used Izanagi like he did in his fight against Hashirama. He realized that he would've lost against them so he decided to retreat and allow Naruto and Sasuke to weak each other out or even take each other out and then he (Madara) springs into action as the true victor.

Madara goes for Sasuke, and Naruto jumps in the way saving Sasuke, but he himself (Naruto) gets badly injured. And because of Naruto's words (Talk-no-Jutsu) to Sasuke during their battle and his action; Sasuke realizes that his way of ninja is wrong and does one final act that saves Naruto's life from Madara's attack. A callback to when he stepped in from of Haku's attack.

 

I came up with this as I was writing. I'm sure given the right amount of time they can come up with something much better and better organized and something impactful.

But as it is from the news that surfaced, it's going to suck big time for them. Since it's really just a retelling of the ending with some extra bits added on top of it. Meaning not addressing the issues at all. Doubling down.

This is not going to win anyone back. This is just fuel on the dumpster fire. The trash is still there on fire, it's just more trash and more fire on top.

No thank you. I have no interest in this at all. They can shove it where the sun doesn't shine.

Someone did a rewrite starting from the NaruSaku confession and it's actually pretty good.

• Kishimoto got bored and wanted to start a new manga series.
• Naruto remains a goldmine with a vast, unexplored big period in its lore. Creating a new Naruto story is far easier than attempting a brand-new original series (like Samurai 8 was).
• He grew tired of seeing his original characters ruined and watching the overall popularity of the franchise decline due to Ikemoto, which prompted him to step back in.
• Shueisha, along with everyone else involved, was actively begging him to return.

Publishers, game developers, and everyone else were begging Kishimoto to return and write a proper sequel with Naruto and Sasuke back as the main focus.

 

 

Kishimoto promoting a new Sasuke vs Naruto VOTE3 fight in this manga is for purely por hype/publicity.

 

It's pretty much because they are the main characters of the franchise, and their rivalry is what drives the debates and the franchise as a whole just like Goku and Vegeta, not Boruto and Kawaki, whom Ikemoto miserably failed to prop up over the past 10 years in the Boruto manga and neither NaruSaku.

 

I already warned and told every single NaruSaku fan who expects Kishimoto to undo his ending: You can wait 1, 2, 5, 10, or 50 years. It's never going to happen.

 

It's time to accept NaruSaku as fanon.   Kishimoto will never retcon his own manga's ending just to pair Sakura with Naruto.

 

 

First  Cope (back from 2014): "Everything was an Infinite Tsukuyomi genjutsu dream. Kishimoto will reveal the genjutsu and make NaruSaku the canon couple."

 

Second Cope: "Kishimoto will publicly state that SasuSaku/NaruHina was a mistake ."

 

Third Cope: "Kishimoto will redo his ending just to pair Sakura with Naruto."

 

First Blow from the Live-Action Movie: The movie will completely erase Naruto's feelings for Sakura while pushing SasuSaku and Sasuke's feelings right from the start. It will likely do the same for Hinata and NaruHina when she appears in the second movie to avoid useless love triangles, ship wars, and Sakura hate for rejecting Naruto.

 

Second Blow: In Kishimoto’s blank period manga, the first thing Kishimoto shows is Sakura carrying a black-haired newborn baby. Sakura and Sasuke's child.

 

So yeah, there’s no Kishimoto admitting his "mistakes" or erasing the canon couples.

 

 

The Boruto manga is Ikemoto's manga. Kishimoto has always made it clear that the manga belonged to Ikemoto.

 

While authors might completely ignore or retcon any spin-off or side manga to write their own sequels, Kishimoto isn't going to pull a massive retcon on his own original line of work. The ultimate resolutions of SasuSaku and NaruHina were established directly by him in Chapters 699 and 700 of the original manga, not by the Boruto manga or Ikemoto.

 

Shadow Rising is going to take place between Chapters 699 and 700 to show what happened during that period, just like Super did with DBZ. Any expansion covering the gap between Chapters 699 and 700 serves to solidify and enrich the existing the canon couples

 

Judging from Sakura carrying her baby, Kishimoto will likely use this blank period manga to include plenty of SasuSaku. It will show Sasuke and Sakura traveling together, finally finishing Sasuke's redemption arc with Sakura, and the birth of their baby. So yeah, you can expect a SasuSaku "The Last" version in this manga.

• He grew tired of seeing his original characters ruined and watching the overall popularity of the franchise decline due to Ikemoto, which prompted him to step back in.
• Shueisha, along with everyone else involved, was actively begging him to return.

Publishers, game developers, and everyone else were begging Kishimoto to return and write a proper sequel with Naruto and Sasuke back as the main focus.
 

 
Kishimoto promoting a new Sasuke vs Naruto VOTE3 fight in this manga is for purely por hype/publicity.
 
It's pretty much because they are the main characters of the franchise, and their rivalry is what drives the debates and the franchise as a whole just like Goku and Vegeta, not Boruto and Kawaki, whom Ikemoto miserably failed to prop up over the past 10 years in the Boruto manga and neither NaruSaku.
 
I already warned and told every single NaruSaku fan who expects Kishimoto to undo his ending: You can wait 1, 2, 5, 10, or 50 years. It's never going to happen.
 
It's time to accept NaruSaku as fanon.   Kishimoto will never retcon his own manga's ending just to pair Sakura with Naruto.
 
 
First  Cope (back from 2014): "Everything was an Infinite Tsukuyomi genjutsu dream. Kishimoto will reveal the genjutsu and make NaruSaku the canon couple."
 
Second Cope: "Kishimoto will publicly state that SasuSaku/NaruHina was a mistake ."
 
Third Cope: "Kishimoto will redo his ending just to pair Sakura with Naruto."
 
First Blow from the Live-Action Movie: The movie will completely erase Naruto's feelings for Sakura while pushing SasuSaku and Sasuke's feelings right from the start. It will likely do the same for Hinata and NaruHina when she appears in the second movie to avoid useless love triangles, ship wars, and Sakura hate for rejecting Naruto.
 
Second Blow: In Kishimotos blank period manga, the first thing Kishimoto shows is Sakura carrying a black-haired newborn baby. Sakura and Sasuke's child.
 
So yeah, theres no Kishimoto admitting his "mistakes" or erasing the canon couples.
 
 
The Boruto manga is Ikemoto's manga. Kishimoto has always made it clear that the manga belonged to Ikemoto.
 
While authors might completely ignore or retcon any spin-off or side manga to write their own sequels, Kishimoto isn't going to pull a massive retcon on his own original line of work. The ultimate resolutions of SasuSaku and NaruHina were established directly by him in Chapters 699 and 700 of the original manga, not by the Boruto manga or Ikemoto.
 
Shadow Rising is going to take place between Chapters 699 and 700 to show what happened during that period, just like Super did with DBZ. Any expansion covering the gap between Chapters 699 and 700 serves to solidify and enrich the existing the canon couples
 
Judging from Sakura carrying her baby, Kishimoto will likely use this blank period manga to include plenty of SasuSaku. It will show Sasuke and Sakura traveling together, finally finishing Sasuke's redemption arc with Sakura, and the birth of their baby. So yeah, you can expect a SasuSaku "The Last" version in this manga.

My impression is they don't care about NaruSaku or anything at all except SasuSaku, seems like they are obsessed with the pairing. They are just looking for any avenue on the internet to gloat about how great SasuSaku. I'm sure they do this same thing to every other Naruto board/forum they can find; it's got nothing to do with NaruSaku. Best for them to be ignored.
