Naruto is finally getting brand-new anime: a four-episode crossover with Ninku.

Revealed at the NARUTO: What's Next? panel at New York Comic Con, the Studio Pierrot project sends young Naruto and Team 7 into the world of Koji Kiriyama's 1993 manga Ninku. It's the 20th anniversary special that was pulled days before its 2023 premiere. "Without Ninku, there would be no Naruto," Masashi Kishimoto said. "My dream has come true."
