It was no real surprise to find that Minato Uzumaki was the one Naruto fans voted as the top character in the Naruto manga and anime overall, and original series creator Masashi Kishimoto will be returning to the franchise with a special new story all about Minato.

Naruto: What’s Next for Minato?
Following the reveal that Minato Uzumaki was the winner of Naruto‘s global popularity poll, Naruto series creator Masashi Kishimoto revealed how he felt about the results, “Thank you for the incredible amount of votes! It was fun seeing how results varied from region to region. I was shocked to see Minato at the top for all regions and the fact that Sakura is so beloved by many people around the world made me proud as a writer. To tell you the truth, I was actually rooting for Kurama,” Kishimoto began.ย
As for what will come in the new Minato story, Kishimoto teases his work on the new release as such, “Right now, I’m working on the short manga for Minato who placed first. While trying to make a story that would match the expectations of his fans, I ended up with more pages than I had originally anticipated. Please look forward to the secret story behind Minato’s jutsu!” Together with this special poster, it’s been a great time for Minato fans!ย
