Naruto Epilogue Light Novels (6 Part series from February to August 2015) [Manga]

[james0246]

It seems Kishimoto and Shueisha are releasing 6 epilogue light novels over the course of the spring and summer of 2015. Here's a link explaining just what's the what.

This thread will be dedicated to the discussion of the 6 side-stories. Apparently the stories are not written by Kishimoto, but they are still apparently canon, so please treat them as such. Please keep discussion civil and focused on the stories.

As per the forums rules, please don't ask for or mention about where to download the (licensed) manga. Also remember not to post or link to any translations of the manga, since this is illegal as well. Posting a synopses or summary is fine (and welcome) but please do not discuss scans, raws, translation groups, etc. Additionally, if you are posting another's synopsis (or their translation of a synopsis), then please provide credit were credit is due.

Remember that the manga is licensed, do not post significant parts of the chapter. This stands for pictures and direct translations. Summaries are OK, crops of pictures are OK as well if you want to illustrate your point but this is it.

this is unconfirmed yet but someone mentioned that according to it's amazon page, the Konoha Hiden novel which is supposed to come out in August is supposed to be about Naruto and Hinata's wedding. Seems like the focus will mainly be on people like Lee, Kiba, and Shino during that time.

edit: looks like translators are confirming its authenticity.

edit: a translation from our friend over at Narutoforum

Spoiler for Konoha Hiden summary:

Within Konohagakure village by the Rokudaime Hokage Kakashi, there was an announcement of a certain special mission. It was a confidential mission that Naruto and Hinata could not know about at all: “The people who are soon be attending the wedding ceremony of Naruto and Hinata are to bring celebratory gifts”. And so, the shinobi of Konohagakure Village raise the curtain on a mission to procure (the items). Lee was even thinking about it while running several laps around the spacious village. Then, Neji appeared in a dream. Tenten was worried about the ninja weaponry in her hands. At once, she began training in throwing kunai. Shikamaru and Chouji held a tactical meeting over barbeque. There, Temari appeared. Sakura and Ino bumped into one another at a general store. For some reason, a cooking showdown began.
Ichiraku’s Teuchi, Naruto’s former teacher Iruka, and the members from the same squad as Hinata: Team 8’s Shino and Kiba….What celebratory gifts did everyone choose?

Depicting “beyond the original work”, it’s the fourth installment of the Naruto Hiden series: The secret presents from the Konohagakure shinobi!
Soon, the wedding ceremony begins.

they are not manga, it is light novels that is centered on Naruto characters as per below order.

kakashi
shikamaru
akatsuki
gaara
sakura
konoha - lee, kiba and shino

Kakashi novel and Shikamaru novel were already released in Japan. but these novels are in japanese language only. Some generous fans already made english translation and im following them. for the kakashi novel we have one translator in reddit and for shikamaru novel one translator in tumbler.

Right now im focusing on Shikamaru novel, since he is one of my fave character in Naruto verse. and i must say the story is really good and exciting. currently the translator is in Chapter 10. i really really hope SP will animate this novels..

a confirmed excerpt for Sakura Hiden was released revealing

Spoiler for Sakura Hiden:

Sakura had apparently founded a children's hospital. So much for anti fans complaints that she ended up a housewife and ruined all of her development. lol

Oh trust me CD, it gets worse. Now they're complaining why this wasn't shown in the main series, why they had to use a light novel to show off that Sakura did something in the time skip.

i don't hate Sakura, I just feel that she is a horrible match for Naruto and that NaruSaku fans tend to piss me off.

Sadly. Many even deny any canon it has. Its like they would rather have her remain a "housewife" just so that they can continue to complain about her "ruining her evelopment by becoming a housewife".

Well at least there's another reason as to why The Uchiha clan restoration is taking so long.

[kampfer91]

Just saying , in Asia , especially in East or South East , there is nothing wrong for a woman who can work while being a good housewife , because who else will cleaning the house ? the husband need to work too , a lot .

So how will Sasuke appear in Sakura hidden novel to help Sakura dealing with trouble in Konoha ?

I wonder if they intentionally decided to release it on April 3rd because some fans hail and praise the day as NaruSaku day lol

[kampfer91]
