Are they the ones who did the manga adaptations of the movies/OVAs? Shueisha is the owner and publisher of Weekly Shonen Jump, as well as pretty much any print media for any Jump Comics franchise. They also co-own Viz Media, the English publisher of Naruto and Weekly Shonen Jump.

The manga volumes, the light novels, the artbooks, the anime comic adaptations ("animanga"), the databooks, even the video game strategy guides, are all ultimately published by Shueisha under various imprints (Jump Comics, Jump jBooks, V-Jump Game Books, etc.).

Unless you mean the specific people working on the books, in which case no, probably not. These would be colorists hired by Shueisha working under the supervision of editors, probably with some degree of input from Kishimoto and/or his assistants or editors. There's no way of knowing who actually did what work, as there's no credits in the books. Just "© Masashi Kishimoto, Scott 2014", "Scott" being the name of Kishimoto's studio.
