While a number of actors from the previous plays are reprising their roles, Naruto himself will be played for the first time by Masaki Nakao, whom tokusatsu fans might recognize from his role as Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger’s protagonist Yamato Kazakiri. Titled Live Spectacle Naruto–The Tale of Naruto Uzumaki, the production is the fourth in the series, and the first new Naruto play since 2017. Among the franchise’s spinoff projects is the Live Spectacle Naruto live-action stage play series, which has just released in-costume photos of the cast for its newest installment. But that doesn’t mean we’ve seen the last of the perpetually positive ninja and his friends and foes. The Naruto manga reached its finale in 2014, and the anime adaptation wrapped in 2017. While it's unlikely he'll be able to take on Otsutsuki-level threats like before, he can still do quite a bit to protect the Hidden Leaf Village from them.First new Live Spectacle Naruto production in four years adapts Pain’s Invasion, Five Kage arcs.

With his large chakra reserves, chakra from the other Tailed Beasts and his Six Paths Sage Mode, Naruto is still easily classified as one of the strongest shinobi in the world, albeit not quite as strong as before. Indeed, he's risked his life numerous times to save Naruto, so as it stands, it's a little hard to imagine that Kawaki would kill him.Īnother factor to consider is that Naruto is still quite strong even without Kurama. Kawaki loves Naruto as the father he always wished he had, and he's made it clear on multiple occasions that he has no desire to see Naruto hurt or dead. While this can be interpreted as Kawaki being confusingly vague and ambiguous about sending Naruto to the afterlife, there's too much evidence that goes against that theory. At one point, Kawaki states, 'I'll send you where I sent the Seventh Hokage, Boruto,' implying that in this future, Naruto isn't dead, just somewhere else. The future scene at the beginning of Boruto, where an older Boruto and Kawaki are in the middle of a fight that seemingly destroyed the Hidden Leaf, does hint at Naruto's potential death.
