We’ve feared this for months, but Masashi Kishimoto has finally done it. The Naruto manga as we know it will be coming to an end! But it’s not what you think, Kishimoto is only changing the name of his popular manga series. The new title of the “Naruto” manga as of chapter 413 will now be “Sasuke”
In a recent interview with Shannaro!!!, Mr. Kishimoto has stated that he wanted to focus his manga series in a new direction and with a bold new approach. He had suitably named his new plan the “More Sasuke” initiative. When we asked him about how he plans to go about this new idea, Mr. Kishimoto outlined his detailed plan for us:
1. Draw more Sasuke
2. Draw less Naruto
3. Draw MORE Sasuke
When we asked Mr. Kishimoto about possible resentment and anger from long time Naruto fans, the mangaka suddenly jumped onto his chair and started shouting “CHIIIIDOOOORRIIIIIII!!!!!” He then leapt onto the coffee table and started throwing the tea biscuits at us as if they were shurikens. We had no choice but to run for our lives.
The next day, it was announced that Mr. Kishimoto had made a new change to the cover of volume 43 of the “Naruto” manga - it seems like he was serious about his new plan. How will the hordes of loyal narutards around the world react to this drastic change? Let us know your opinion in this matter by participating in the poll:
[poll=62]
*by the way, if you haven’t caught on yet - this was all a lie. There is no chapter 413 this week and Kishimoto is not changing the title of his manga!

Ultimatehokage (Jounin Elite)
// Aug 16, 2008 at 7:47 amI like Sasuke, but more Sasuke than Naruto is too much.
When Kishi split up in 50% Naruto and 50% Sasuke its ok.

Ultimatehokage (Jounin Elite)
// Aug 16, 2008 at 7:53 amDid Kishi dont realize that most of the Naturads are Naruto fans?
And Naruto have so much to learn, senjutsu, master kyuubi, new jutsu(element) and use Itachis gift.
How will naruto learn this with less time?

// Aug 16, 2008 at 9:21 amPeople of the Philippines vs. Masashi Kishimoto…….RTC #132465…. civil case- Illegal Change of Title without public consent/ crime case-Falsification of Public Anime Icon, this is the case that Philippine Naruto fanatic Group might file to the Quezon City Trial Court here in Quezon City, Philippines……….. I will fight for the title……….. If the Philippine court will not accept this case then i will ask help to my uncle in UN to take any actions just to hold Kishimoto’s plan. Remember Mr. Masashi Kishimoto, Naruto is not a private figure he’s a public figure so any people around the world who were interest of the said icon can file case against you, it is under world constitution if i’m not mistaken it was Icon Juridical Entity that signed by the UN summit late 1990’s it’s all about World Interest…….. take it Kishimoto or else something might happen to u.

// Aug 16, 2008 at 9:40 amEven do Kishimoto is the author, without your avid fans it is worthless…….. so that’s why people around the world can say that it is not only a private figure but naruto is a real world’s public figure and icon………come to think of it Kishimoto and i hope this is just only speculation of those who were trying to make us crazy peace bob…… peace

This was Hillary-us. Like Kishi would honestly do something like that. He’s invested too much time in “Naruto” to do something drastic like that. Now, I wouldn’t doubt if he did a spin-off, that would be different. But great job Bob! Using your Jedi mind tricks to twist the minds of Naruto Faithfuls. Sasuke will rule the world … NOT!!!!

// Aug 16, 2008 at 11:10 amif it is serious how do u think he is going to go threw the story? have sasuke betray madara and figure out a way to take the power or completely destroy it so no one can use it. or continue with what we know would be common sense which is capture eight-tails get power interupt pein and fight naruto
“also i need help with my avatar” i looked at the area i need to go but something is wrong

While i was reading, i was thinking how stupid is Kishi seriously???? lmao. i was like y on earth he is changing at this time, its not like i prefer naruto but just in terms of business profit, kishi would be like jumping off a cliff

Fo@d (Newbie)
// Aug 16, 2008 at 11:13 pmSo im knew to this, but love the series. Just thinkin out loud but the last time there was a name change there was a huge gap in time. Sauske had left to train and so had Naruto. So maybe Naruto wont be the focous of this section, and we can finally learn everything Sasuke went through will Naruto learns the way of the Hermit. Then when Naruto finally comes back, he will have become crazyass powerful like Sasuke did.
40
Fo@d (Newbie)
// Aug 16, 2008 at 11:21 pmOh forgot one thing, he has reversed the rolls, Naruto out and its Sasukes turn, Next name change Hokage lvl Naruto vs Sasuke. it would maek sense if it wasnt a lie.

punk2 (Chunin Squad Leader)
// Aug 17, 2008 at 2:21 amYo know ever since Sasuke VS Itachi arc, I was starting to see this coming. Sasuke was turning the main character on the manga for a while now, it’s was only a matter of time till he fully turned Star(Super Star now with his new version on MS) Poor poor Naruto, first sasuke had all the FanGirls(Sakura in particular), all the training(Kakashi), now he’s gonna take the name of Naruto’s title manga.
44
punk2 (Chunin Squad Leader)
// Aug 17, 2008 at 2:27 amWell…. that really suckes for… Naruto. I guess that Sasuke’s Sharingan not only steals jutsus but also the title name of the Naruto Manga. Well anyway all in all I always taught that Sasuke was turning into a super ninja, in stead of my boy Naruto(fish cakes). This sounds kinda right. But it’s wrong i tell you!

punk2 (Chunin Squad Leader)
// Aug 17, 2008 at 2:35 amShit I taught I cancled the first post, Oh well my bad. When in the name of Tenten’s last name (pun?) will i move up from Chunin, I feel like Naruto, I’ve been here a while but still at the bottom. Poor Naru-chan lol, Naruto must praying to the Ramen god to strick down Sasuke for taking his stuff.

// Aug 21, 2008 at 2:26 amGood job Bob, it was about time this point got the attention it deserved. I was actually gonna write my first post on this subject but you beat me too it! Anyway, this point is very important because it seems as though Kishi has forgotten who the manga is about. I mean I wanna see Naruto feature in at least ever manga for a page or two, and not this who Sasuke-focus. The thing is there is a narutoverse and it appears as though Kishi is forgetting that, I mean if you aren’t focusing on Naruto, focus on Konoha, forc crying out loud! I’m getting quite annoyed with the direction this manga has taken lately. Viva Naruto Viva!

// Aug 21, 2008 at 6:19 pmI think hes to baked, but heh…if the geek wants to make the changes then let us see what his sinister plans will be XD after all i do admit its a lot of Naruto lately XP. or better yet it should of been AKATSUKI!
Not enough members i think it should of been cool to see more about the Akatsuki and about Tobi and Madara and what the hell is going on between, also im guessing he did this because of Naruto’s new training.
Since the Sage Training Arts is something new for Naruto and took Jiraya a whole deep of time to master it i think he will focus now on Sasuke’s side while blondy munch Ramen alot will Train :3 Sasuke will Play around XP
Madara will go Psycho
Pein will conquer
And Konan….will just be Konan XP
Hurray for another retarded change!!
