So does Kishimoto intend to wash his hands of the sword or what is he doing after Naruto ends? Well, just a few months ago Kishimoto confirmed that he is working on something new that is completely different from Naruto.

And recently, in a presentation on stage at the Jump Festa ’19 event taking place on Sunday, it was revealed that Naruto manga author Masashi Kishimoto is collaborating with manga artist Akira Oukubo to released a new manga series titled Samurai 8: Hachimarude n.

The manga will launch in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine in spring 2019. Kishimoto is in charge of the content and Oukubo will draw the manga. Are you happy to receive this information?
