"Naruto" is one of Masashi Kishimoto's more popular manga. But now, the artist is reportedly looking forward to taking a break after the successful run of "Boruto: Naruto the Movie."

"Boruto: Naruto the Movie" raked in around $5.46 million during its first three days, giving it the highest grossing opening of the series. However, several sites unexpectedly and shockingly leaked the movie online, just days after it was released on Japanese theaters on Aug. 7.

The leaked "Boruto: Naruto the Movie" was illegally recorded inside a cinema so it didn't carry any English subtitles. But that didn't stop people from combing sites like 4Chan, Facebook, Reddit, Twitter and other Torrents for links to the movie.

Surprisingly, the movie's momentum doesn't appear to have been affected by the leak as people are still flocking to theaters. Several sites have reported that the movie has already earned a total of ¥2.02 billion or $16.8 million

It's a fitting end to the series and to Kishimoto's work on "Naruto." The 40-year-old manga aficionado was the movie's writer, main character designer and chief production supervisor.

"Boruto: Naruto the Movie" follows Naruto's son, Boruto, and Sasuke's daughter, Sarada, who was introduced in "The Last: Naruto the Movie," as they train to become the next generation of ninjas and attempt to rescue Naruto, who's bound in another dimension.

The movie trailer shows Boruto fighting and using the "gentle fist style" against a shinobi said to be Shikadai. The mystery that surrounds the boy is finally resolved when another trailer shows that his father is "Naruto" villain, Orochimaru.

Now that Naruto's story has come full circle and Kishimoto is putting down his pen (temporarily), there have been questions as to what the manga artist will do next. According to Kishimoto, he will take a break before working on his next challenge, "a work that will surpass Naruto."

"Boruto: Naruto the Movie" is slated to hit U.S. movie theaters on Oct. 10, Naruto's birthday.
