Sarutobi Mirai has a lot to live up to as the granddaughter of Konoha’s Third Hokage and the daughter of Sarutobi Asuma, the hero who gave up his life during the Great Ninja War. But as everyone continues to expect great things from her, she struggles to separate herself from her family’s legacy and find her own way.

When Mirai is assigned a super-secret mission to protect Kakashi and Guy on their journey to the Land of Steam, she expects to fend off assassins around every corner. Instead, she finds herself babysitting two grown shinobi who are acting like an old married couple on a hot springs vacation! What is a girl trying to prove herself to do?

About the author

Masashi Kishimoto

Masashi Kishimoto (岸本斉史 Kishimoto Masashi) is a Japanese manga artist, well known for creating the manga series Naruto. His younger twin brother, Seishi Kishimoto, is also a manga artist and creator of the manga series O-Parts Hunter (666 Satan) and Blazer Drive. Two of his former assistants, Osamu Kajisa (Tattoo Hearts) and Yuuichi Itakura (Hand's), have also gone on to moderate success following their work on Naruto.

Kishimoto's first work as a manga artist was Karakuri (カラクリ?), which he submitted to Shueisha in 1995. This earned him the Weekly Shōnen Jump's monthly "Hop Step Award" in 1996, granted to promising new manga artists. This was followed in 1997 by a pilot version of Naruto (NARUTO-ナルト-), published in Akamaru Jump Summer. In 1998, Kishimoto premiered as a Weekly Shōnen Jump artist with a serialized version of Karakuri in Weekly Shōnen Jump, but it proved unpopular and was canceled soon after. In 1999, a serialized version of Naruto began publication in Weekly Shōnen Jump and quickly became a hit.

I have been curious about Mirai Sarutobi and in this manga you get to know her even better. I love that Kakashi and Guy are in it too, because those two are my favorite duo from the Naruto Shippuden. I loved the book and can't wait for volum 2

3.5 Stars 🌟 I have been curious about Kurenai and Asuma's baby since that story arc happened. So a manga showcasing Sarutobi Mirai definitely appeals. Plus an adventure with Guy & Kakashi!! It's definitely not a fantastic side story but it's definitely enjoyable.

“Dopo l’ultima grande guerra ninja, tutti i cinque grandi villaggi sono finalmente in pace.
Ogni villaggio effettua scambi commerciali, intrattiene rapporti amichevoli e d’amore.
Si scambiano aiuti, collaborano e viaggiano verso l’altro villaggio.
I diversi ninja hanno stretto forti legami di amicizia e alcuni di loro anche d’amore.
Risulta quindi difficile immaginare minacce reali in tempi così felici e di pace.
Eppure a Mirai Sarutobi viene affidata una missione di grande importanza dal settimo Hokage (Naruto Uzumaki).
Mirai dovrà scortare Kakashi (sesto Hokage) e Gai per un un viaggio che risulta “facile” all’apparenza, ma che forse sotto sotto nasconde una missione importante.
Mirai non sa quale esattamente, il suo unico compito è quello di scortarli e fare da loro guardia del corpo.
Riuscirà Mirai a dimostrare a se stessa e a tutti loro di essere una degna erede del clan Sarutobi?
E qual è questa misteriosa missione?

Stile e trama.


Sono due volumi interessanti e scorrevoli, sono ambientati dopo la fine di Naruto e prima di Boruto.
Tramite questi due volumi abbiamo la possibilità di vedere in parte com’è proseguita la vita dei personaggi dopo la fine di Naruto.
In parte di conoscere un po’ il personaggio di Mirai, figlia di Kurenai Yuhi e Asuma Sarutobi.
Tavola dopo tavola scoprirete la vera missione dietro la facciata di una giornata alle terme.
.
La storia di questi due volumi si concetra quindi sulla consapevolezza del lascito che la sua famiglia le ha lasciato.
Il voler dimostrare a tutti che lei è la degna erede del clan Sarutobi e sulla nuova possibile minaccia che potrebbe dilagare nei villaggi.
.
È stato bello ritornare nel mondo di Naruto attraverso questi due volumi.
Li consiglio a tutti gli amanti di questa storia.
.
Voto: 5/5″.

I don't remember who killed Asuma. Wasn't it that one guy that couldn't die?

Objectively: Overall enjoyable for what it is.
Subjectively: I enjoyed a "filler" manga with Kakashi and Guy as well as seeing Kurenai and Asuma's daughter grown up/older. (I have yet to read beyond vol. 1 of Boruto)
