Why A New Naruto Series Needs To Happen

Without a doubt, Naruto stands among the most revered anime and manga series ever produced, boasting an international fanbase that acknowledges its legendary stature. In the realm of popular culture, it joins the ranks of giants like One Piece and Dragon Ball, leaving a significant impact on storytelling for the past few decades. Regrettably, Naruto’s tale came to an end in approximately 2014, and since then, the landscape of the industry has significantly evolved.

Fans find themselves with mixed feelings about the sequel to the popular series Naruto, titled Boruto. On one hand, it’s captivating in moments, but on the other, fans believe that it doesn’t fully utilize the potential of the original Naruto series. They feel that a fresh start is necessary for the franchise to truly shine.

Boruto’s Failures As A Sequel

In the final installment of the Naruto series, created by Kishimoto, readers encountered a significant leap in time, revealing Naruto’s son, Boruto, to the audience. By this point, Naruto had ascended to the position of Hokage, achieving his life’s goal. Consequently, the narrative shift from Naruto’s journey lost some appeal for fans. To maintain interest, a new series focusing on Boruto was introduced. Initially, many fans found Boruto’s character dislikable. However, this was an intentional decision by Kishimoto as it allowed Boruto to evolve and mature over time, eventually becoming worthy of following in his father’s footsteps as the guardian not just of Konoha but also the world.

Boruto certainly made an impression on the fans and it is safe to say that, as a character, he is quite exciting. Despite that, the Boruto series doesn’t hold a candle to Naruto. Fans have given it quite a lot of time over the years, and, despite everything, its popularity is constantly dwindling. Furthermore, fans know that it is a far cry from the brilliant Naruto series that Kishimoto wrote before. The truth is that Boruto is never going to reach the same levels of popularity as Naruto and, in the first place, the vast majority of the fans give Boruto a shot because of the Naruto series.

While Boruto certainly has distinct characteristics of its own, it’s fair to say that many fans would not have delved into or stayed invested in the series for as long as they have without the presence of Naruto. This underscores the importance of introducing a new Naruto spin-off series, one that doesn’t follow the story of Boruto Uzumaki but instead centers around the exploits of Naruto Uzumaki and his peers in the ninja world.

The Room For A New Sequel Story

Naruto Can Return As The Protagonist In The New Series

As a dedicated fan, I can’t help but reflect on the winding road the Naruto series has taken us down. With Boruto now stepping into the spotlight as our protagonist, it’s clear that any other series set during his time would conflict with his journey and potentially diminish its significance if they intersected. So, to preserve the integrity of Boruto’s narrative, a continuation of Naruto must be set before the start of the Boruto series, preferably delving into the years leading up to Naruto becoming Hokage after the Fourth Great Ninja War. Lucky for us fans, that expansive time period offers ample opportunity for a fresh Naruto series to unfold!

As a dedicated Naruto fan, I can’t help but wonder what our favorite ninjas were up to during the unspecified period. Perhaps they honed their skills even further, faced formidable opponents, or made decisions that dramatically altered the world we know. Sadly, there isn’t a comprehensive account of these events, which is exactly why I yearn for a captivating Naruto story that fills in those gaps and takes us on an unforgettable journey through untold adventures!

Fans can anticipate a narrative akin to how Dragon Ball Super or Daima were structured following the conclusion of Dragon Ball Z. In Dragon Ball Z, Goku went through a significant time jump for training with Uub, which occurred later on in the timeline. Interestingly, Dragon Ball Super is set prior to this event, while Daima takes place after the last Arc of DBZ. There have been some debatable plot changes along the way, but overall, they manage to fit seamlessly into the larger storyline and prove successful.

Instead of Naruto experiencing a similar scenario, fans could be treated to an entirely fresh series that picks up directly following the war’s end and fills in the missing time. This new installment would allow us to revisit our beloved ninjas at their full potential, steering their own narratives forward – a characteristic that has always appealed to fans about this series from the start.

How Naruto Can Continue An Exciting Journey In The Blank Period

Naruto’s Growth After The War Could Be Shown

During this upcoming phase, Naruto’s story is set to be extraordinarily captivating. Since Naruto won’t yet hold the title of Hokage, the series will explore a fresh perspective on what being Hokage truly entails. By now, Naruto should have earned worldwide respect and possess the power to justify his candidacy for the position of Hokage. However, he still has much room to grow in various areas, which could be the focus moving forward.

Concurrently, Sasuke’s global travels aimed at self-redemption promise an extraordinary spectacle. Simultaneously, Sakura Haruno will play a crucial role within the group. Moreover, viewers will witness Kakashi’s leadership as Hokage, and if formidable challenges are integrated into the plotline, then both Team 7, and all other Naruto teams, will have their moments to excel. It’s plausible that the adversaries in this tale will be exceptionally powerful ninjas.

Essentially, the Otsutsuki Clan isn’t quite like fighting characters of Madara Uchiha’s level or other Akatsuki members, given that Naruto has always been about ninjas. Therefore, having villains who are also ninja would make it more engaging for fans. However, whether another Naruto series will materialize is uncertain, but the idea itself is magnificent and fans would surely rejoice if such a series were to be produced.

You can find Naruto manga on both MangaPlus and the Shonen Jump app, where you can enjoy the authentic releases. Reading it helps to support the author directly.
