How fans reacted to the manga's hiatus news

Fans were heartbroken to hear the news about the manga's hiatus as the anime adaptation of the same was already on hiatus, and now to see the manga series going on a three-month break as well was painful. The fact that Kishimoto's series is a monthly manga series made it worse for fans, as that means that the next chapter will be released nearly four months after the release of chapter 80.

For now, the fandom can only hope for the best as the official announcement about the hiatus is yet to be released.

Many fans began suspecting that the manga is set to go on hiatus due to the Minato manga that is set to be released after the character's win in the Narutop99 Worldwide Character Popularity Poll. There is a good chance that Masashi Kishimoto and his crew will be working on the manga in the upcoming three months.

In the meantime, other fans did not feel very enthusiastic as they did not care about the short manga but wanted to continue reading the series without breaks. Meanwhile, other fans believed that the break meant that something big was set to come their way. Thus, they have already started predicting what could happen in the manga, following chapter 81, which will be released in August 2023.
