The long wait is almost over for "The Last: Naruto The Movie" fans. Few days from now, it is set to arrive to Japanese theaters. Latin Times noted that the film will deliver the titular ninja's long overdue love life aside from the expected battle between Naruto and Toneri Otsutsuki, a descendant of the Sage of Six Paths. Will Naruto and Hinata start a family?
The movie's premiere screening last November 24 exposed some major spoilers. It includes a revelation of Naruto and Hinata's kissing scene in the movie. Latin Times reported that still photos of the lovers kissing while floating in mid-air was leaked online. According to a Reddit post the scene was carefully crafted by manga creator Masashi Kishimoto.
"For the final kiss-scene, I thought of the two of them as though they were my own children," Kishimoto said according to the post. "After completing this first stage, from the viewpoint as an old man, uncle, and father, I felt relieved. Naruto has not yet been able to fully understand about love relationship, so I thought there were so many things I could do in a feature film."
Latin Times reported Kishimoto revealed in an interview with Rina Ikoma that some of the elements in the character's love life were influenced by his personal romantic experiences including "knitting a scarf" which his wife did for him.
Reportedly, an illustration surfaced, after the Sukima Switch cover art was leaked, showing a picture suggesting Hinata and Naruto starting a family of their own. The sketches show Naruto and Hinata with two children standing on their sides. On Naruto's left was a boy who looks like him when he was still young carrying Hinata's timid personality and on Hinata's right is a girl who looks like her, possessing Naruto's blue eyes and outgoing personality.
