The official Twitter account of Naruto issued a warning on April 8, 2024, to alert fans regarding accounts on social media impersonating the series’ creator, Masashi Kishimoto.
The tweet read, “[Please be careful] Manga artist Masashi Kishimoto does not have any accounts on any social media platforms. Please be aware that accounts claiming to be Masashi Kishimoto-sensei are not genuine. – Shueisha“.
The warning comes amidst fan confusion surrounding a parody account potentially mistaken for the real Kishimoto. Many fans expressed amusement at the situation as the account in question clearly mentioned in the bio that it is a parody account. While others were surprised that fans were still falling for the account to the point that the official channels felt the need to address it.
However, many fans believed the account was operated by Masashi Kishimoto and thanked Shueisha for issuing the alert.

It's been an odd road for "Naruto" creator Masashi Kishimoto since the end of his popular manga. Kishimoto gave his blessing to the creation of "Boruto: Naruto Next Generations," a manga from "Boruto: Naruto the Movie" writer Ukyo Kodachi and artist Mikio Ikemoto. The manga also led the popular anime adaptation.
Kishimoto then created the manga series "Samurai 8: The Tale of Hachimaru," a science fiction with art from Akira Okubo. Unfortunately, that series only last for 43 chapters before being quietly shuttered. With his newer manga scuttled, Kishimoto eventually moved back toward the "Naruto" franchise, taking over the writing duties for "Boruto: Naruto Next Generations"...

Road to Boruto, a downloadable expansion for Bandai Namco’s Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4, is due to be released on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC on February 3, 2017, the publisher has announced.
Pairing together the lightning-paced combat of the base game with anime-quality graphics, Road to Boruto will follow the adventures of the titular character as he continues the adventures that his father – Naruto – once embarked on many years before him. Adapting the events of Boruto: Naruto the Movie into video game form, several other new characters including Sarada Uchiha will make an appearance, both of which will be playable outside of the story addition in the beat ’em up’s Free Battle Mode.
Along with new fighters comes new locations to explore, too. The series’ iconic Hidden Leaf Village will have new areas added to its free exploration mode, so expect to see new quest NPCs and items to collect.
