Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Naruto join forces on a special crossover series where the two action adventures come together. This is a unique meeting between two iconic pop culture influences. Later this year in November, IDW Publishing, which is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' publisher joins Naruto's Viz Media on the four-issue limited series.
Caleb Goellner writes the story and it is visually brought to life by Hendry Praseteya and then colored by Raul Angulo and letters designed by Ed Dukeshire. The narrative starts with a meeting between April O-Neil and Tsunade, who is the leader of the Hidden Leaf Village. This gets the attention of Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, and Kakashi, and then the attention of more members.
