"Boruto: Naruto the Movie" release date has been confirmed and Orochimaru is returning as the villain.
Naruto might have already restored peace in the Ninja World and taken his rightful place as the seventh Hokage of the Dancing Leaf Village, but Masashi Kishimoto isn't going to completely close the curtain on his masterpiece anytime soon.
As a matter of fact, Kishimoto and his team are reportedly in the preliminary phase of their new project, which will be the 11th edition of the Naruto the Movie series.
Set for release in August, "Boruto: Naruto the Movie" will feature the new ninja adventure of Naruto's son Boruto, also known as Bolt, and the new generation of Hidden Leaf Village as they take on a familiar enemy, the vile Orochimaru.
International Business Times provided details about the upcoming Naruto movie. After the success of "The Last: Naruto the Movie", Masashi Kishimoto and team are planning to release the next film of the series in August 2015. The eleventh Naruto movie, titled "Boruto: Naruto The Movie", will be a spin-off of Japanese blockbuster and will revolve around the next generation of ninjas.
"Boruto: Naruto The Movie", which was initially titled "Naruto: The New Era Project", might also include Orochimaru as the most powerful enemy of the new ninja. Meanwhile, several speculations are doing the rounds about a fighting sequence between Naruto and Orochimaru in the animated film.
Crossmap indicated that the anime's mangaka has conceptualized a story where Naruto and Hinata's son, Bolt, will be romantically linked with Sasuke and Sakura's daughter, Sadara.
For more than a decade, Kishimoto's Naruto has been one of the most influential Japanese animes in the modern era. His incomprehensible sloppiness and unwavering will to fight against all odds catapulted Naruto to the upper echelon of most-loved anime characters of all-time. Now, it's time to see whether Boruto has all the makings of a legend, just like his predecessor.
