Masashi Kishimoto's Comment
Miracles are happening one after another for me right now.
I want my work "NARUTO" to become a real Hollywood movie!
And the even more miraculous thing is that I was able to get director Destin Daniel Cretton to make the movie, which I still can't believe!
If miracles have piled up so far, let's hope for more miracles.
We are looking forward to miraculous encounters with passionate and wonderful actors!
I want to meet the characters in the movie soon!
