No, at least not from Kishimoto. He's currently developing a new monthly science fiction manga with the intent of publishing it through the digital Jump Plus platform.

Naruto and its characters are jointly owned by Kishimoto (specifically his studio, Scott) and Shueisha. I don't think they can use them without his consent. Of course, if they wanted to release more Naruto products, he'd likely sign off on it and be involved at least as a supervisor.
