Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles x Naruto Reveals a Shocking Connection Between Kakashi And Splinter

As a seasoned gamer and long-time fan of both the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Naruto series, I must say that the recent comic book crossover between these two iconic franchises has left me absolutely thrilled! The blending of their worlds, the familiar yet different characters, and the unexpected connections are a testament to creative storytelling at its finest.


In a thrilling new comic book mashup, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Raphael, Leonardo, Michelangelo, and Donatello) have crossed paths with Naruto’s Team 7. This unexpected collaboration, titled Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles x Naruto, takes our heroes into a world unfamiliar to fans. Meanwhile, April O’Neill gets swept up in a perilous adventure alongside Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke, and Kakashi. The final page hints at an astonishing link between the two worlds. Although many details remain unclear about this surprising connection, the comic leaves us intrigued as to how it unfolded.

Heed this advice: If you haven’t checked out the debut issue of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles meeting Naruto yet, be aware that we’re delving into spoiler-rich territory. The setting for this comic book crossover is a departure from either world the characters originate from. Although Konoha remains familiar to the anime ninja series, the TMNT universe has been reimagined as “Big Apple Village.” Instead of being set in contemporary New York City, the comic book adaptation combines the origins of the Ninja Turtles with the Naruto world, resulting in fresh appearances for our teenage ninjas and Master Splinter, along with new skills and traits to suit their revamped environment.

How Kakashi Met Splinter

In a typical pattern seen in many comic book crossovers, Leonardo squares off against Sasuke, Raphael takes on Sakura, while Naruto and his clones meet their match with Michelangelo and Donatello. Kakashi engages Master Splinter in a fierce battle. As the mentors clash, it seems that Master Splinter has received a significant boost in his ninja abilities. Just as Kakashi can summon the Chidori during combat, Splinter reveals he too possesses the power to harness lightning when necessary.

On the last page of the initial cross-over issue, we see Kakashi confirming that he’s aware Splinter is indeed Hamato Yoshi. Over the years, there have been many intriguing links between these two characters in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles history. Generally, Master Splinter is either Hamato Yoshi transformed into a rat due to mutagen or he was once a disciple of Hamato who became what he is now thanks to some mysterious chemicals. In this universe, it seems that Splinter used to be Hamato Yoshi and may have encountered Konoha’s imitator ninja in the past.

Konoha In A Half-Shell

As a die-hard fan, I can’t contain my excitement about the fresh four-issue crossover that just dropped! Witnessing the elite ninja squad from the Hidden Leaf Village going toe-to-toe with the Turtle brothers is already thrilling, but introducing us to this universe’s Foot Clan? That’s a sure sign that the Shredder might be lurking in the shadows. If the main antagonist of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles universe decides to join forces with Naruto’s most formidable foes, it could send shockwaves through the comic book community!

It’s worth pondering if the anticipated fusion of “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” and “Naruto” could one day make it to our screens. Although there’s no official word yet, considering the success of 2019’s animated film “Batman Vs. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,” which was a adaptation from the comic book crossover, it’s plausible that an anime adaptation for this crossover could happen in the future.
