Naruto has been following the Seventh Hokage for decades, with the former wielder of the Nine-Tailed Fox handing off the baton to the next generation when it comes to helming the anime adaptation. With 2023 set to be a major year for the Shonen franchise, new art has arrived featuring both the Uchiha and Uzumaki clan to ring in the new year. While major events will take place in the anime adaptation next year, they will also see the Hidden Leaf Village fight back some wild threats to the Ninja World.

During this year’s Jump Festa, the Naruto franchise revealed not only that the anime would adapt the spin-off series focusing on Sasuke and Sakura in the time period that took place between the end of Naruto: Shippuden and the start of Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, but it will also return to its source material by adapting the “Code Arc”. In this arc, the right-hand man of Jigen is looking for revenge for the death of his master and has Boruto, Naruto, Sasuke, and the other ninjas of Konoha in his sights. With the Kara Organization in shambles following Jigen’s death, Code looks to create a new rogue ninja collective that might turn out to be far stronger.
Happy Naruto Year
The Shonen series shared new art to ring in 2023, uniting both the Uzumaki and Uchiha Clans while also giving them new outfits that have yet to make their debut in either the anime adaptations or the manga:
In the pages of the manga, Konoha is dealing with a wild new issue that sees two former Kara members joining the Hidden Leaf Village’s ranks. While Eida and Daemon, former allies to Code, might be considered powerful allies in the fight against Kara now, they are also powder kegs that could explode at any moment. Shigaraki and Konoha’s allies are tip-toeing their way to make sure that the Ninja World can retain these two former members of Kara as allies, which might be easier said than done considering Eida’s ability to see anything happening in the world and Daemon’s short fuse.
