A guardian in black clothes is protecting something. He does not know where that something is. What he was meant to protect was within himself.

This new work by HIFANA, “TEJIME,” their first in nine years, was released on the first day of the Reiwa era and was inspired by “tejime,” a traditional Japanese celebratory ritual, in order to grandly celebrate the beginning of a new era. HIFANA is, after all, a pioneer of anime music videos in Japan. Animation synchronized with music. Strange and humorous characters. I wanted to portray each element in an extreme way. Using cel shading, a technology that was uniquely developed in Japan, this is a full CG animation created entirely by a single person.

Description: This is a comic PV depicting the story of the development of a new technique by "Minato Namikaze," who proudly took first place in the Weekly Shonen Jump 55th Anniversary & NARUTOP99. Please enjoy this newly written work by Mr. Kishimoto, created seven years after the end of the NARUTO serialization.
