Naruto: The Seventh Hokage And The Scarlet Spring Manga Gets Printed In January

With the final volume of the Naruto manga already in print, putting an end to the main run of the story that has spanned 15 years, it was only a matter of time before the Naruto spin off stories get printed.

And the first story outside of the main Naruto story was Naruto: The Seventh Hokage and the Scarlet Spring, which told the story of the next generation of ninja including Naruto’s son, Boruto and Sasuke’s daughter, Sarada.

Well, Viz Media has tweeted out that the next Naruto manga printed volume will be the Seventh Hokage and Scarlet Spring and will be released in January. Check out the tweet below and the Amazon listing, here .

Here’s the synopsis of the manga story from Amazon.

“Naruto was a young shinobi with an incorrigible knack for mischief. Then he channeled that energy into learning amazing ninja techniques and saving the world! Now Naruto has achieved his dream to become the greatest ninja in the village and his face sits atop the Hokage monument. But new troubles are bubbling up in the shinobi world...

With the world now safe and the ninja villages working together, Naruto's work as Hokage seems pretty mundane. Giving his son, Boruto, enough attention is the toughest task he has. But then Sasuke uncovers a conspiracy that may involve surviving members of the Uchiha clan. And at the same time, Sarada is begins to have doubts about the truth of her origins.”

But if you want the digital release of the manga, Viz Media has informed us that it will be distributing volume via its Viz Manga app and other related partner platforms.

So be sure to check out Naruto: The Seventh Hokage and the Scarlet Spring when it drops on Jan. 5.
