15 years of Naruto exhausted! Masashi Kishimoto calls the new series "Samurai 8" a counterattack

"Naruto", which has brought countless touching moments to readers, has finally finished before its big brother "One Piece". Today, on May 5, foreign media published an interview with the original author Masashi Kishimoto, who is about to start a new series "Samurai 8". Let's learn about Masashi Kishimoto's mental journey as his old work passed away and his new work came out.

·The 15-year Naruto series was exhausting, and the ending was extremely dragged out.

Readers who like Naruto should all know that a large amount of original content was added to the animated version to make up the length. In fact, Masashi Kishimoto is also a "victim" of Shueisha's "delayed production of masterpieces" policy. Masashi Kishimoto said that when he finally ended "Naruto" four years ago, he really felt "finally liberated."

After a 4-year break, Kishimoto's "challenging spirit" has gradually recovered, and finally the new series "Samurai 8: Hachimaruden" will start on May 13. It sounds like it is somewhat similar to the Japanese folk martial arts novel "The Eight Dogs", but in fact "Samurai 8" will be a thorough SF (science fiction) theme.

"Samurai 8: Hachimaruden" will be a new challenge for Masashi Kishimoto to devote all his efforts to strive for perfection. Kishimoto prefers to call it a "counterattack". This time, his trusted good partner Akira Okubo will be the painter, and Kishimoto will concentrate on planning the plot. This method is more suitable for creating a perfect comic, so stay tuned!
