Translation by: 霓
This is a interview for Kishimoto Masashi and Yahagi Kōsuke (Naruto’s first editor & Jump SQ.’s current chief editor).

Key point of this interview：
1. I want to describe the live of the leading man is the original intention for Kishimoto to draw Naruto (manga),so Naruto (manga) was called Naruto,and Naruto (manga) is a story describing Naruto’s history of growth.

2.The last paragraph of the interview：

Spoiler

Kishimoto: I’m a father now, maybe I can draw a story about Naruto being a father. I want to show how Naruto grow up.

Yahagi: You’ve had a long flight,good job! After taking a little rest,please keep drawing manga,everyone is waiting.

So Naruto Z anyone? :lol

 

[Avixph]

Wouldn't it be more like Naruto GT?

 

[Gentleman Jack]

I'm assuming 'part 2' is the sharingan wars bullshit that's been raging ever since the end of the Chuunin exams?

 

[SporeCrawler]

sounds tacked on. nothing like one piece at all. expect massive retcons.

also hinata or death. i cant see sakura x naruto kids

 

[BronsonLee]

Goddamnit, we were so close

 

[Vermillion]

*sigh*

 

[studyguy]

Shounen gonna shounen

 

[NateDrake]

No....no....

 

[Troubled Bat]

BRING IT ON!

Spoiler

I'm still not done with Shippuden

 

[The Broken Ska Record]

Ah ha ha. I'm not at all surprised.

 

[Meffer]

Kishimoto: Jump won't let me be free..... Help me...

 

[BatDan]

No Kishi. No.
No.

You've dragged this corpse for several years now, time to put it down.

 

[Slayven]

NOOOOOO!!!!

 

[God Dayumm]

I hope the mother is tsunade because sakura should remain pure and hinata is lame

 

[AgentChris]

YESSSS!!!!!!!

 

[jph139]

Seems more like a one-off or something. It's not really uncommon - I know that there was a similar story for Rurouni Kenshin set a few years in the future. DBZ's had a few things along those lines.

 

[Meffer]

I hope the mother is tsunade because sakura should remain pure and hinata is lame

She's dead, mate.

 

[Chie Satonaka]

Sure.

I'm fine with more Naruto. Let Kishimoto take a nice long break to recharge his batteries, and then he can come back and start part three. It'd be interesting to see how the Ninja World changes after the events of part two.

 

[Marow]

To be fair, it does sound like it could be interesting.

 

[Plywood]

I hope the mother is tsunade because sakura should remain pure and hinata is lame

She's like 55 now.

 

[injurai]

Their better be another time skip, with them being older.

Full on Seinen Jump yo!

 

[Heroman]

no

 

[PseudoKirby]

I only watched the first part and am pretty happy with that.

 

[God Dayumm]

She's dead, mate.

Good "(

She's like 55 now.

Milves gonna MILF

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Aliens?

There's literally no-one left on the planet that can challenge Naruto or The Sauce. The next threat has to come from beyond the stars.

 

[Mesoian]

Sure.

I'm fine with more Naruto. Let Kishimoto take a nice long break to recharge his batteries, and then he can come back and start part three. It'd be interesting to see how the Ninja World changes after the events of part two.

He'd be better served making something new.

We all would.

 

[Japarican]

He already confirmed this like a year ago, there's going to be the adult version, but probably filler just doing things in the town and random missions

 

[Wanderer5]

Could just end up being a one off thing to go with the "Start of a New Era" Project. I hope he will aim to do a new IP or whatever through.

 

[Tathanen]

I sure hope so. ;-;

 

[Poetic.Injustice]

Aliens?

There's literally no-one left on the planet that can challenge Naruto or The Sauce. The next threat has to come from beyond the stars.

I'm thinking the Naruto world map only showed a single continent.

 

[Soulflarz]

*sighs deeply*

 

[Gentleman Jack]

The Rock Lee manga should have been given Naruto's slot, it's better by miles. Now we just get more Naruto.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Just do Naruto: Battle of Gods in like 20 years or some shit

 

[Veelk]

Let it die, for the love of God

 

[Heroman]

Real talk, Part 2 has been garbage and he hasnt shown that he is capable of writing a good story.

 

[Mariolee]

Wait, how did it all end?

 

[Trey]

no

NOOOOOO!!!!

No Kishi. No.
No.

No....no....

I agree with these fine people.

 

[BatDan]

Kishi should just enter that phase of his career where he doesn't write, but would randomly give out bits of info.
Like when J.K. Rowling revealed Dumbledore was gay
Or when Akira Toriyama revealed 17 and 18's real names

 

[Averon]

I really doubt it.

I think Kishimoto is sick of Naruto and wants to move on. Then again, I can see SJ pushing him for a part 3 as Naruto is an international sensation and cash cow and they have no replacement for it in their lineup.

 

[『Inaba Resident』]

Old info and the translation is incorrect

[GulAtiCa]

Even with a part 3, it would still end before Bleach.

 

[-Horizon-]

No longer surprised.

 

[SunF50]

Why is anyone surprised?

I would of been surprised if there wasn't any more naruto in the future.. You gotta keep milking the cash cow..

 

[Ninjimbo]

I wouldn't mind reading a Part 3 if it completely scraps the Uchiha bullshit and gives characters like Rock Lee and Shikamaru more pages.

 

[InfiniteBento]

Just let it die already.

Its gone on for far too long.

 

[EightBitNate]

Never give up

 

[Lagamorph]

I'd been hoping the last 2 or 3 chapters might have been some kind of glimpse into the future to tidily wrap things up.
A follow up like this I kind of want...but only if it were kept relatively short. Which we all know it wouldn't be.

 

[WrenchNinja]

There isn't going to be a part 3. He's just talking about drawing an adult Naruto with children. There's a possibility we see this in Chapter 700.

 

[Byronic Hero]

I don't wanna believe it.

 

[EightBitNate]

Question (possible spoilers for Shippuden):

Spoiler

I'm currently at the part where all the villages team up and officially declare war on the Akatski. Specifically, when they fight zombie Dedera. How much is after that? I gotta be more than half way through, right?
