The official website for the Shueisha’s Jump J Books label revealed on Friday that Konohagakure Hiden, the fourth epilogue of Naruto novels is scheduled for release on May 1. It’s the fourth of six planned epilogue novels.
Shou Hinata, mostly known for the Bakuman, Hentai Kamen, and Saiki Kusuo no Psi Nan novels, will pen the fourth epilogue of Naruto.
Shueisha’s Jump J Books also adds that Gaara Hiden will be dispatched in June instead of May, and Akatsuki Hiden in July instead of April.
The website also revealed a picture of the timeline informing readers of the point in time that the said novels take place.
Masashi Kishimoto also said during an interview in November that he still has work to do concerning the Naruto franchise until summer, so he will start preparing his future non-Naruto title after being finished with this franchise.
