Fans of the long-running ninja saga can look forward to a new installment in the Naruto franchise. "The Last: Naruto the Movie," set to premiere in Japan on December 6, 2014, will serve as a direct sequel to "Naruto Shippuden," exploring the lives of Naruto and his friends after the Fourth Shinobi World War. This film is a key part of "Naruto's" 15th anniversary project.
The original "Naruto" series, which concluded in 2007, followed the journey of Naruto Uzumaki, a young ninja seeking recognition and dreaming of becoming the Hokage, the leader of his village. Its sequel, "Naruto Shippuden," chronicled Naruto's growth and battles as he matured into a powerful shinobi. "The Last" will bridge the gap between the manga's conclusion and the future depicted in "The Boruto: Naruto the Movie."
