Board Thread:Naruto Novel Discussons/@comment-26037879-20160303221616

Just a question. I'm curious as to whether or not if any of the Naruto light novels are legitimately canon to the original story in any way. I know that a majority of them were written by different people, and are considered original stories, but I also know that Masashi Kishimoto also helped with the illustrations, and probably supervised with the makings of the works. Can anyone help me?
