On Friday, the Naruto franchise teamed up with Universal Pictures Japan to reveal a unique crossover illustration crafted by Naruto’s creator, Masashi Kishimoto. This original artwork blends the vibrant world of Naruto with the dynamic universe of the live-action How to Train Your Dragon film, showcasing an exciting fusion of ninja and dragon realms.
Naruto, a vibrant Japanese manga penned and drawn by Masashi Kishimoto, centers on Naruto Uzumaki, an ambitious young shinobi yearning for his village’s respect and the prestigious title of Hokage, the village’s supreme leader. The saga unfolds across two compelling phases: the initial arc explores Naruto’s spirited childhood (volumes 1–27), while the latter delves into his dynamic teenage years (volumes 28–72).
How to Train Your Dragon soars onto screens in 2025 as a breathtaking American live-action fantasy-adventure, reinventing the beloved 2010 animated gem. Loosely inspired by Cressida Cowell’s 2003 book, this cinematic odyssey plunges viewers into a mythical realm where bonds between humans and dragons spark epic tales of courage and discovery.
