A man dressed as a character from the Japanese anime 'Naruto' poses as he attends the 15th edition of the 'Japan Expo' exhibition devoted to Japanese culture and entertainment on July 2, 2014 in Villepinte, a Paris suburb.

The 40-year-old manga creator, Masashi Kishimoto, recently teased that there is always the possibility of another series. However, the creator was categorical that he wishes to take a break from the Naruto stories.

Up to now, Kishimoto has released various "Naruto" stories including "Naruto Gaiden: The Seventh Hokage and the Scarlet Spring," "Kakashi Hiden: Lightning in the Icy Sky," and "Boruto: Naruto the Movie" among others.

In an interview with Anime News Network at the New York Comic Con 2015, the manga creator said that he is ready to do another series, although he is not working on anything related to "Naruto" at the moment. Furthermore, Kishimoto gave fans a 50 percent possibility of doing another sequel.

"There are infinite possibilities right now. If I decide that I want to do more Naruto stories, perhaps I will, perhaps I won't. That said, there is nothing firmly in the works at this time," Kishimoto said.

The brain behind "Naruto" series currently has a universal following because of the critical and commercial success of "Boruto: Naruto the Movie."

In a different report from the same publication, Yuko Senpai, who gave a voice for Boruto, indicated her desire to see more "Naruto" movies.

However, Kishimoto responded by saying, "I can't. Please let me rest now. [The Boruto movie is] perfect. I'm just speaking for myself, but I'm enormously satisfied."

It has taken Kishimoto 15 years to complete the manga series, with his son ultimately becoming as old as Boruto. During a preview screening, Kishimoto also unveiled that he has not been on a honeymoon with his wife since their nuptials because of the busy schedule needed to illustrate "Naruto."

It was not until the release of "Boruto: Naruto the Movie" on Aug. 7 in Japan that the couple went for a vacation.

At the moment, the manga creator is working on a sci-fi series, but he refused to reveal further details about the upcoming series.
