EDIT On second thought, that silhouette looks more of Inojin. It's the key art for Boruto: Naruto the Movie, minus Naruto, Sasuke, and Momoshiki. Left to right: Chocho, Inojin, Shikadai, Boruto, Sarada, Mitsuki. There's even a bit of Sasuke's cloak that wasn't properly edited out, next to Inojin.

Anyway, the announcement is on Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump website, so it should have something to do with the magazine. Which means it could be manga-related. It could be anything though; a new project, a spinoff, a new film, etc. Whatever the case, Kishimoto's involvement will likely be minimal, since we know he's developing a new sci-fi series for Jump+ and has said that he likely won't be helming any new Naruto stuff.

The announcement should come in the 2016 No. 4-5 double issue, which will be the last issue of WSJ this year. As such, it'll probably be leaked when that magazine hits newsstands, a few days before the countdown timer ends.
