Naruto Creator Comments on Special Anniversary Boruto Anime Arc
PC-INSTAGRAM

Naruto reached the monumental age of 20 this year where the purchase is celebrating this huge anniversary in a pretty surprising way. Along with a big event in Japan that will feature special highlights from the anime purchasing, and a working together event with the Boruto anime will be going into brand new arc which will feature Boruto crossing time and space to team up with a young Naruto from the original incarnation of the series. The announcement of this arc surprised fans, but apparently the original idea stems from series creator Kishimoto himself.

In the original proclaimed about the upcoming Naruto anniversary arc, a message from Kishimoto teases that the creator not only pitched the original idea of this time travelling arc, but that the new arc will feature cameos from other characters outside of the young Naruto.

As Kishimoto states, "The anime staff have sincerely answered to my crazy idea, 'It must be exciting if Boruto and Naruto in his childhood meet.' In addition to Boruto, Naruto, and Sasuke, I have heard that other familiar characters will also return! Please enjoy watching this festival.

Although details for the new arc are currently scarce, it is currently scheduled to premiere sometime this October. With Kishimoto's statement, it certainly implies that Boruto will somehow travel back in time to meet the younger Naruto and other characters from the first iteration of the series. Then it begs the question of just how the two fireballs will interact with each other.

Boruto eventually grew to respect his father, and the reverse is true as well, but will the younger Naruto accept Boruto so easily If the original concept for this arc came from writer himself, then it certainly will be a fun new arc to explore. As the Boruto anime has come under fire for its filler arcs in the past few months, fans will surely flock to this one that seems to be pure fun and celebratory of the series as a whole. At the very least, it should be nostalgic seeing the younger Naruto in a brand new adventure.
