Brief Description:
"Kara agent Amado comes to the Leaf Village, requesting protection from the Hokage from Jigen in exchange whom he betrayed. Amado reveals the nature of the Karma mark and how both Boruto and Kawaki are destined to be possessed by the Otsutsuki through it. Meanwhile, the real leader of Kara is Isshiki Otsutsuki, who has been possessing Jigen ever since he was betrayed by Kaguya when they came to Earth millennia ago and Karma allows the Otsutsuki clan to resurrect via the host's body. As the discussion continues, Koji Kashin is revealed as another traitor and uses the abilities he inherited from the legendary ninja Jiraiya to kill Jigen. However, Isshiki Otsutsuki imperfectly reincarnates through Jigen and defeats Koji. With Kawaki's Karma removed, Isshiki suddenly teleports to the Leaf Village outskirts."--Provided by publisher.
Biographical Note:
Author/artist Masashi Kishimoto was born in 1974 in rural Okayama Prefecture, Japan. Like many kids, he was first inspired to become a manga artist in elementary school when he read
Dragon Ball. After spending time in art college, he won the Hop Step Award for new manga artists with his story
Karakuri. After considering various genres for his next project, Kishimoto decided on a story steeped in traditional Japanese culture. His first version of
Naruto, drawn in 1997, was a one-shot story about fox spirits; his final version, which debuted in
Weekly Shonen Jump in 1999, quickly became the most popular ninja manga in the world. The series would also spawn multiple anime series, movies, novels, video games and more. Having concluded the series in late 2014, Masashi Kishimoto has kept himself busy this year with the side story
Naruto: The Seventh Hokage and the Scarlet Spring and writing the story for the latest
Naruto movie,
Boruto: Naruto the Movie, both of which will focus on the title character's son, Boruto.
