This time the focus will be on Boruto (Naruto's son).The Naruto manga was originally created by Masashi Kishimoto, but the upcoming 'Boruto' will be drawn by Mikio Ikemoto (Naruto Assistant Artist who worked closely with Masashi Kishimoto).
Masashi Kishimoto will still be in involved in the manga, but this time as a supervisor only. Aside from Masashi Kishimoto and Mikio Ikemoto, Ukyō Kodachi will be writing the upcoming Boruto manga series. Ukyō Kodachi has been involved in writing Naruto - Gaara Hiden: Sajingensō novel and Boruto -Naruto the Movie-screenplay coordination.
The upcoming manga will be titled 'Boruto' and will start running on Weekly Shonen Jump by spring next year. There will be new Boruto series every month.

The Naruto manga has ended its 15-year run last year-November-and since then Masashi Kishimoto has done 'The Last: Naruto the Movie' and 'Boruto: Naruto the Movie' which both box office hits.
Aside from this Kishimoto also wrote 'Naruto: The Seventh Hokage and Scarlet Spring' (one-volume manga).
During the preview of 'Boruto: Naruto the Movie' voice actress, Yuko Sanpei said that she wanted to see more films in the Naruto franchise, however Masashi Kishimoto responded saying, "I can't. Please let me rest now."
He continued saying, "During this time, I finally went on my honeymoon. Even though my son has grown as big as Boruto."
It was only after finishing Boruto: Naruto the Movie was Kishimoto able to go to this honeymoon after being married for more than a decade.
But fret not, Kishimoto fans, during the New York Comic Con, back in October 8 to 11, Kishimoto confimed that he is working on another manga, and a science-fiction story.
Boruto Naruto Manga is set to premiere this coming May 9, 2016 on Weekly Shonen Jump
