Matako wrote: Likely indeed. Kishimoto receives a rightful share for every parallel or separately produced product associated with Naruto. He can easily let the remains of his show be milked for several years while leaning back. I think it's more of a case that he can't stop Shonen from doing so. I would expect that he has authorship rights to the Naruto Manga, but he can't do anything if they decide to create new material. E.g. the various Naruto movies and books.
