Kishimoto announces retirement from mangaka

[Dondaime Hokage Naruto]

“The Boruto Movie, for the first time everything begins, starting with original characters. That is to say, it’s an original work of the author, me [Kishimoto], with everything existing completely and only inside my head. For the first time in the 11th Naruto movie I wrote the entire script by myself, devised the character designs, refining them until I was satisfied, than for the sake of perfection requested that the staff to refine them further. When serialization ended, immediately all the time I used to spend on the manga was poured into the movie. In truth this is the Naruto film I really wanted to make. One last word….after this I won’t draw anything further. “

So If Naruto continues in a form somebody else will draw it...

I call dibs when it comes to milking the series.

 

[Ansatsuken]

Good to know

 

[Sasori]

I'm surprised I thought he was going to milk it for another couple years.

 

[NINE SAILS]

Good luck

Good riddance. We don't need any more Gaidens

It has been posted before. Thanks for sharing still.

I hope he comes out of retirement to draw a Konohamaru Gaiden, depicting his training with Son, the four tails.

Me too. The new brand project and all that they were saying... Maybe somebody else will draw Naruto manga or do movies... Or he could be like Toriyama and return after 5 years or so...

What's with that "Mario" manga then? I guess he realized that no one wants to read that lol
Anyway, Naruto (especially Part 1) will always be one of my favorite animes. I thank Kishi for creating Naruto.

That's true! And no more rushing. Gaiden was awful. Even Kaguya arc was way better.

He said he won't draw, not that this is the true ending of Naruto.

GT confirmed!

He probably wants to spend more time with his family instead of being cooped up in that office all the time.

Good, his writing skills became shitty during the war arc anyway.

 

[Venomous Cobra]

Ty for the manga kishi. You entertained me only as a kid.

 

[Lynx Uchiha]

I saw it coming.

I think Gaiden is worse than the War Arc...

That's not a good thing though...

Source please.

I heard the same about DBZ but guess what? lol

He'll be back oneday to grab them greens $$$

No wonder he didn't make karin the mother.
