Naruto and Hinata Dominate Times Square in Epic 'The Last' Movie Bash

Naruto and Hinata have commandeered Times Square in Midtown Manhattan, New York City to commemorate the ninth anniversary of The Last: Naruto the Movie. @NaruHinaEvent organized the billboards to honor the strong connection between the No.1 Unpredictable Ninja and the Byakugan Princess.

The Last: Naruto the Movie, the franchise's tenth film, made history as the first canon installment. Released in 2014, it was also the final film in the series, providing insight into Naruto and Hinata's journey to marriage, as depicted in Naruto Shippuden episode 500.

The Last: Naruto the Movie was released on December 6, 2014, marking nine years since its debut. In celebration, devoted Naruto fans on X organized a display at Times Square featuring fan-made artworks. The credit for this achievement goes to @NaruHinaEvent, in collaboration with @NaruHina_Indo and @naruhinafess.

The artworks, created by fans, offered their unique interpretations of Naruto and Hinata's relationship, in contrast to the official movie where the characters share a kiss. Thanks to the efforts of dedicated fans, Times Square featured the beloved couple, much to the delight of Naruto enthusiasts.

A similar event was also held in Indonesia, where fans had the opportunity to participate in a competition. They were required to visit the billboard located at Graha Mandiri and capture their own special moments. The post with the most likes was set to win a cash prize. However, no such competition was announced for the billboard in New York City.
