Naruto Uzumaki literally becomes an orange ninja in the Oasis x Naruto: Shippuden collaboration, turning the anime cast into adorable fruits.
Naruto Uzumaki has always been known as the stupid ninja in the suspicious orange outfit. Now, he actually becomes one in the collaboration between Oasis Be Fruit and Naruto: Shippuden.
Oasis Be Fruit recently posted a commercial featuring the main cast of Naruto: Shippuden. However, this animated advertisement depicts Naruto and his friends as comically designed fruits, causing hilarious accidents throughout Konoha. The commercial was made to promote a new and limited line of fruit-flavored drinks based on Team 7.

Pierrot, the studio behind classics like Naruto and Bleach, celebrates 45 years of anime with a three-minute video chronicling its prolific career.
As expected, the drink has a flavor that corresponds to Team 7's new fruit design. Sakura Haruno is Strawberry Raspberry. Sasuke Sasuke is Peach Iced Tea. Hatake Kakashi is the black raspberry of the apple. Finally, Naruto – or “Narutorange” – is a drink with tropical flavors. Oasis x Naruto: Shippuden advertisement was made by French animation studio Wizz. It was also co-directed by Vic Chhun and Leyla Kaddoura. The two previously directed the animated trailer for the 2022 indie game Potion Craft: Alchemist Simulator. Full information about the imaginative Naruto ad is listed in Wizz's official Instagram post, where the company thanked everyone who contributed to the ad.
Naruto was in a state of suspended animation
While the Naruto fruit ad will certainly please most fans (and probably get them interested in Fruit Ninja), it will also likely remind them of the anime series' strange status. Naruto now. Boruto: Naruto Next Generations ended in 2023. Four special episodes intended to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Naruto anime have been delayed from the scheduled air date of September 3, 2023. As of the time of writing , there was no further update from studio Pierrot on when fans can expect these nostalgic Naruto specials. The most recent animated creation that Naruto fans are excited about is the unofficial fan adaptation of Naruto: The Whorl Inside the Spiral.

Naruto anime may return under newly announced PIERROT MOVIES
However, recent comments from Studio Pierrot's anime producer Yoshihiro Tominaga show where the future of Naruto anime lies. The establishment of PIERROT FILMS to produce the sequel to Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War at a faster pace but still with the same high quality as its anime rivals such as Demon Slayer or Jujutsu Kaisen shows that Pierrot is trying to create out a more efficient production process for its franchise. A special Boruto x Naruto illustration from the animation team also makes it clear that Pierrot hasn't forgotten the iconic Shonen Jump series.
