"The Last: Naruto the Movie" will not be the final movie in the Naruto anime film franchise even though it is part of the canon of the main story of the "Naruto Manga" which just ended last year. Masashi Kishimoto reveals that there are several projects in the "Naruto: The New Era Project" which will include the upcoming Boruto the Movie Spin-off.

WARNING: POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD

The latest film in the Naruto anime film franchise is part of the time gap between the last two chapters of the Naruto Manga. "The Last: Naruto the Movie" will pick up two years after the last great shinobi war and the epic battle between Sasuke and Naruto. The Hyuga clan will play an important role in the upcoming film since it will show how Hinata and Naruto fall in love.

Amidst the love story, a new threat will emerge which brings an apocalyptic catastrophe to the whole world. Toneri Otsustsuki, the last descendant of the ancestors of the shinobi, will be the herald of death and he will aim to use the Moon to destroy the Earth.

NARUTO NEW ERA PROJECT: BORUTO SPIN-OFF

While "The Last: Naruto the Movie" is part of the canon of the Naruto manga which just ended last year, it is not considered to be the last Naruto project of Masashi Kishimoto. A new Naruto Movie sequel is being developed and it is a part of the Naruto: New Era Project. The upcoming Naruto film will be based on Naruto and Hinata's son, Boruto/Bolt, according to Kishimoto, and it will also involve Salada, the daughter of Sasuke and Sakura.

Boruto: Naruto the Movie will feature Orochimaru as the main antagonist and the production team has set the release date this August. There may be a possible romantic relationship between Boruto and Salada since the final chapters of manga suggest that Salada is interested in Boruto's antics. Boruto has also been reported to be crowned the prince of the Hyuga clan since he is a direct descendants of the main house of the Hyuga clan and his strong Uzumaki blood line gives him a royal status.

"The Last: Naruto the Movie" has already been aired in theaters last February. Fans may patiently wait for the new sequel which is set for release this August. Stay in tune for more updates in our future articles.
