During yesterday, it was finally made official: Minato was the character who was the winner of the NARUTOP99 survey and, therefore, he was going to be the protagonist of a new short manga created by the author of “naruto“: Masashi Kishimoto. But what exactly was the author of one of the most famous characters in the “Naruto” universe up to? Well, In a letter of his own handwriting, he revealed that we will be diving into the secrets of the Rasengan’s origin..

New Naruto Manga Will Explore “The Secret Of Jutsu Developed By Minato”

Then I leave you with the letter in question as shared Crunchyroll Spainand later I will comment on the most important thing about it:

This is Masashi Kishimoto’s letter after seeing the results of NARUTOP99
  • The key point of the letter regarding the Minato-centric manga is in the penultimate line: ‘Please look forward to the story of the secret of justu that Minato has developed.‘.
  • In effect, There was no direct mention of the Rasengan at any time, but the reality is that it was the only technique the Fourth Hokage developed.. Not only that, but we know from Jiraiya that it took Minato 3 years to be able to shape the basis of this technique that Naruto would later come to fully appropriate.
  • For those who doubt that the manga can talk about other jutsusI really explain why not:
    • The Flying Thunder God Jutsu is a technique very characteristic of Minato… who actually created Tobirama Senju.the second Hokage, so it’s not really a jutsu of his creation.
    • The Death Demon Consuming Seal, which is also widely attributed to Minato, is actually a sealing technique that originated and was created in the Uzumaki clan.so he doesn’t run into the Fourth Hokage either.
  • After discarding these two jutsus which are surely among the most distinctive Minato had in his arsenal, it becomes even more apparent that the one-shot will focus on how Minato created the Rasengan, which is ultimately the most well-known technique in the entire Naruto universe.

Honestly, that Masashi Kishimoto can at this point shape something as interesting as a manga about the origin of the Rasengan makes it especially obvious just how much of the franchise’s past could be explored. Ultimately, the story of “Naruto” is “just one” in the Ninja Wars timeline, and many of the characters we see appearing in the original anime as well as “Shippuden” surely have a lot of stories to tell. In any case, it’s time to take advantage of it and enjoy what will undoubtedly be a very special story.
