‘Naruto’ Set to Receive Another Spin-Off Anime Series

In the latest issue of Weekly Shonen Jump, the iconic manga magazine revealed that the Naruto Shinden (The New Legend of Naruto) novels are set to receive an anime adaptation.

Like the Boruto storyline, the spin-off series takes place fifteen years after the end of the Fourth Shinobi World War but features a greater focus on adult Naruto, Sasuke and Shikamaru. Written by Mirei Miyamoto, Jun Esaka and Takashi Yano, the novel series was created in close collaboration with Naruto creator Masashi Kishimoto, who did all the illustration for the books.

Naruto Shinden (The New Legend of Naruto) will premiere February 10 and air alongside Boruto: Naruto Next Generations for three weeks.
