Plenty of reveals from 2026's New York Comic Con event had fans already excited, but for Narutofans, their favorite franchise felt like it just took an unexpected leap forward. Despite long-held assumptions that it'd never happen, creator Masashi Kishimoto has a new manga coming with Naruto: Shadow Rising, and the best part is, it covers the famous Blank Period. While this inevitably means, at least, a limited series depicting Naruto Uzumaki's young adulthood barring confirmation of a longer serialization, it also means the original artist will be fully behind each page of his new project, rather than as a supervisor. For Naruto himself, it'll be possibly the biggest visual upgrade he's had in years.
