🚨 CONFIRMED – Masashi Kishimoto has officially confirmed that his upcoming manga series "NARUTO: SHADOW RISING" is directly connected to the Boruto timeline.
He reportedly addressed the ongoing debate, stating:
"I never said Boruto wasn't canon. Some Naruto fans genuinely lack basic reading comprehension."
He further added that people claiming Boruto is non-canon should consider reading the actual story before embarrassing themselves online.
It’s Kishimto’s birthday, so Naruto fandom decided to surprise him by spreading even more misinformation on his name 👏
What a supportive community he has
@BoinkBuzz True context here: The story reportedly picks up right after the Shippuden finale.
Fake info: completely ignoring the Boruto timeline, giving fans the raw and unnerfed period sequel via Shueisha's multi-year franchise blueprint.
