[Spoilers] Naruto’s Ending is Set in Masashi Kishimoto’s Mind

[Bijuussj4Naruto]

In the June 23rd article from popular Japanese newspaper Asahi Shimbun, the legendary creator of Naruto, Masashi Kishimoto, gave his comments on Road to Ninja: Naruto the Movie.

He also had some insight to the Naruto manga series. Actually, it is a reiteration of what he said in an interview back in February – the Naruto manga is inching towards its climax! That’s right, four months later we aren’t at the most intense, exciting part of the series just yet, but it is coming!

Additionally, Kishimoto-sensei mentions “how the story will end has already been set in my mind, so the story is just ‘racing headlong in that direction.’”

Exactly how much more Naruto action is left for us is unclear, but we have a feeling it will hit us sooner than we’d like.

Serialization for the Naruto manga began in the popular Weekly Shonen Jump magazine back in November 1999. Since then 40+ video games, almost 500 anime episodes, 9 theatrical movies, and a plethora of other merchandise have sprung up with the Naruto name. Add to that the 590 chapters and 60 volumes of Kishimoto-sensei’s original works, Naruto has been an international phenomenon, capturing the hearts and imaginations of millions upon millions of fans worldwide!​

I still think the manga will end this year or early next​

Isn't the 9th movie coming out in 2013? So wouldn't the manga end after or before that?

 

[MacMiller]

Welcome.

Doesn't that suck.

 

[Blunt]

Sad..

 

[Aze]

When Naruto ends my life is over

 

[Sir Blades]

no i refuse to accept.

It said that many times before and he said it in feburary this year. He it's getting closer and closer to the climax. The climax is usually the most exciting part of a series.

Kishi would have said this is the last arc. Kubo and Oda confirmed what their last arc would be like. All give naruto at least a good two years. All kishi said was that it's heading fast to it's climax but it's not their yet anyway

But even if it ends, I enjoyed the epic ride and I still have one piece to enjoy unlike bleach..

 

[MacMiller]

Sad..

Might I ask, who is in your signature?

 

[Joon]

Nice to know.

 

[Naruto and Bee]

Naruto will end on Dec 21, 2012 then we will all die in peace, and then we don't have to cry about naruto being over..

 

[Cfighter]

Naruto will end on Dec 21, 2012 then we will all die in peace, and then we don't have to cry about naruto being over..

No. On Dec 21, 2012 Kishi will suffer from a heart attack, thus unable to continue the manga. The mayans got it wrong, our world wont end... a far more epic world will...

 

[rashida chan]

The fact that naruto is ending soon is sad but we'll be more sad if we'll get dissapointed by it ,anyway i think that we have to start accepting this from now

technically, it comes out July of this year for the Japanese

 

[lyokangirl]

I'm sad it'll end, but looking forward to seeing how naruto vs. sasuke ends up.

 

[NarratheShininigami]

The saddest thing about this is that when this is over...There well be one less good new thing to read or watch.

 

[UchihaIsOP]

Might I ask, who is in your signature?

THIS!

 

[sephirothh]

Wow. This is realy a bad news.

The end of the manga means that we have maximum 1 year maybe ?

50 Chapters... this is NOTHING...

We have still so much fights and things we don’t know..

I dreamed to see the fight Between Madara and Hashirama

What about the secret Jutsu of Suigetsu for Sasuke.

What about the Naruto TObi Fight

What about Naruto Sasuke..

50 chapters for all of this, this is nothing...

At least it will be fun to wait till my life is almost over to get them all in English on DVD (here in Germany, it's all UK imports, because watching them in German is horrible) and then take a month off and do a speedrun through them all.
