How to read the new Naruto manga about Minato Namikaze for free online and in English
The new Naruto spin-off drawn by Masashi Kishimoto is now available at Manga Plus. It focuses on the Fourth Hokage, how he created the Rasengan and his relationship with Kushina Uzumaki.
Masashi Kishimoto has once again proven why he is one of the most important mangakas in Shonen history. The father of Naruto has just released a spin-off of the saga that focuses on Minato Namikaze, better known as the Fourth Hokage, and reveals the creation of the Rasengan and Minato’s tender relationship with Kushina Uzumaki, Naruto’s mother and former Jinchuriki of the Kyuubi.
The manga, called “Naruto: The Whorl within the Spiral” is 55 pages long and simply spectacular. It is the result of a survey that Masashi Kishimoto and his team did for the 20th anniversary of the anime to find out which was the audience’s favorite character and to dedicate his own story to him. Far from coming up with just anything, the author created a delightful one-shot that you can read here:
Date of new Naruto chapters
Keep your eyes peeled, because the Minato manga is just one of the many surprises Masashi Kishimoto has in store for us this summer. On August 19th, Boruto will return after the time jump (can we talk about Boruto Shippuden?) and on September 3rd, the Naruto anime will also return with four new special episodes.
Although it is not known what they will consist of, Pierrot Studio (the company responsible for the original series and this return) clarified that they will not be summaries, but 4 chapters with completely new content, although it remains to be seen what story they will tell and where they will be placed in the Naruto chronology. We also don’t know how long they will be (sometimes the specials are a bit longer than the normal episodes), but in any case, one of the most exciting moments of the year is coming for those of us who grew up with Shonen. Hopefully it will look like this tribute that Pierrot himself did a few months ago:
