So in light of the new volume cover's depiction of Naruto, I went ahead and did some research. According to the english website for WSJ, the colour cover that we were treating as incorrect was actually done by Kishimoto himself.

In light of this, it would seem that this is probably the most accurate depiction of Sasuke and Naruto's new appearances yet.

@AsianReaper We never include fan made images of any kind. The chapter colourings in question are official. They are created by a team working for the series Japanese publisher.

@WindStar7125 I keep seeing people make the claim that there were two colour spreads depicting it as red, yet the only prior colourings I've seen are the colour comics versions which while official, are done by a seperate team that seem to have little interaction with Kishimoto's team (based on some previous colourings).
