THE KING IS BAAAAACK IN 2027! 😊

After 12 years, he's back — and drawing it himself. WHOOOO? 🎉 Masashi Kishimooooooooooto! Yes, really! I've waited so long for this I still can't believe it. After all these years, we're finally getting the story of our grown-up friends again!

Details drop soon at Jump Festa 2027 — December 19–20, THIS YEAR. 📅
The voice cast will be there 🎙️: Junko Takeuchi (Naruto), Noriaki Sugiyama (Sasuke) and Chie Nakamura (Sakura).

What did they show us?
Looks like Kishimoto is telling us how life turned out after the final battle: Naruto's face being added to the Hokage Rock, Sakura with a baby and Naruto clashing with Sasuke (AGAIN? YESSSSSSS, please)! 😎🙏

The story is part of Project Rasengan — a three-year plan for Naruto-related media, first announced on October 10, 2026 at New York Comic Con. No more details yet.

Not gonna lie — this is the best news of the YEAR. 🌟 I've waited so long for this and still can't believe my eyes!

🌟🌟 x NINKŪ: A CROSSOVER NOBODY SAW COMING

Team 7 is back — but not in their own world. Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura get a mission from Kakashi. Kakashi can't go, so Naruto leads. 🤩

Then they get lost in another dimension and meet Fūsuke — a frog-faced kid from the 1990s manga Ninkū.

So what is Ninkū?
It's a 1990s shōnen manga by Kōji Kiriyama about a boy named Fūsuke — the former captain of a legendary warrior unit called the Ninku. After a great war, the Ninku were disbanded and branded villains by the government. ✊Fūsuke travels the land searching for his mother, fighting the Empire's assassins along the way.

And do u know his signature move? The Air Pressure Fist — which is basically the prototype for the Rasengan 🤘 (no way!!! Interesting!)

The anime ran for 55 episodes in 1995–1996, directed by Noriyuki Abe at Studio Pierrot (like father, like son) 🏢

How many episodes?🌀
It's a 4-episode special. Supervised by Kishimoto and Ninkū, creator Koji Kiriyama. Directed by Noriyuki Abe (the original Ninkū and Bleach). Animation by Pierrot Films. 🎬

Honestly, I heard about this title for the first time. And it's wild — Kishimoto literally said he created Naruto because he wanted to see more of Ninkū. 🥺

"Without NINKŪ, NARUTO would not exist. Fūsuke is Naruto's secret mentor

So this isn't just a random crossover. It's the origin story of the origin story - I’m very surprised! 🔪

We haven't had a proper crossover in ages. I don't think this will be a massive hype moment — it's very specific but seeing young Naruto again, before everything got complicated? Why not. 👋
Will you watch it?
