16 Amazing Things That Will Happen In Kishimoto's New Naruto Manga

Overview

The video is a fan’s speculation about what Kishimoto’s proposed Naruto: Shadow Rising manga might contain. The narrator emphasizes that the trailer offers only a few clues, and that many of the ideas are hopes and guesses rather than confirmed plot points.

Story and Character Hopes

The narrator’s biggest wish is to see adult Naruto and Sasuke’s friendship portrayed differently from their old rivalry: as a bond between longtime comrades who have survived enormous challenges together. They also imagine Naruto taking on ordinary shinobi missions, perhaps as a jōnin or squad leader, where raw strength alone cannot solve every problem.

The narrator hopes the story will give more attention to the wider Konoha cast and bring back the legendary summon creatures—especially Naruto summoning Gamakichi. Sasuke’s postwar travels could offer darker, more mature stories about redemption and the consequences of his past. One suggestion is a Zuko Alone-style story in which Sasuke meets people affected by the conflict. The narrator’s plea: “Please don’t make him fight Deinonychus.”

Kakashi is another major focus. The narrator wants to see more of his time as Hokage, including his leadership and how he fights without the Sharingan. Naruto eventually taking over from Kakashi could also make for an emotional story about rediscovering why he wanted to become Hokage.

Relationships and Family

The narrator would like more meaningful interactions between Naruto and Hinata, as well as Sasuke and Sakura. They also hope for glimpses of how other couples, such as Shikamaru and Temari or Sai and Ino, got together.

The trailer’s image of Sakura holding a baby prompts speculation about whether the child is a young Sarada and how early the story might begin. The narrator jokes that Choji and Karui’s pairing feels as if Kishimoto chose Choji’s wife by throwing a dart at a board of female characters.

Trailer Clues and Plot Theories

The trailer’s apparent image of Naruto putting on the Hokage hat raises hopes that the manga will give his appointment more weight than the comic-relief OVA. In that story, Himawari accidentally knocks Naruto out, and Konohamaru has to fill in.

The narrator also discusses the creation of Naruto’s face on the Hokage monument, defending it as meaningful handiwork rather than something shinobi should simply produce with Earth Style. An apparent confrontation between Naruto and Sasuke inspires one theory: Sasuke might challenge Naruto for the Hokage position, leading to a final contest between two powerful, experienced friends.

The narrator expects a new antagonist rather than another return to Boruto’s Ōtsutsuki or cyborg threats, though they also suggest that Orochimaru returning as a genuine villain could be interesting. Finally, the video raises the controversial possibility that Boruto’s storyline could become an alternate timeline, while acknowledging that Boruto himself—and characters such as Sarada—are already part of Naruto’s established future.

Jokes and Reactions

The narrator teases Tenten as the character “no one cares” about, then immediately takes it back and says she deserves love too. They call The Last a lousy movie, mock the Hokage-appointment OVA for turning Naruto’s dream into a gag, and joke about Sasuke gaining “aura” through cool deeds.
