Are these characters Kishimoto never implemented in the Manga?

Wow all these look interesting they look like possible rough drafts of characters do any of them have descriptions some of them look like they could of been promising additions to the series.

And why do these girls look better than all the ones in the series combined.

I just remembered that the one picture with all of those guys was the Akatsuki draft. But I'm not sure about the rest

I was actually going through these images on Tumblr the other day, you can defiantly see how Kishi elevated his original concepts of characters. Example: Kisame being a more sophisticated version of the sardine or fish head guy. His orginal rendition of the Akatsuki makes me cringe though..

very cool

the same very Shonen-eque
if they are indeed Kishi's likely the editors wanted more darker characters

Most of these designs are real good. Especially compared to Boruto anime classmates designs

Did these just leak recently? The Akatsuki image seems familiar, but the other one's look new.

But I agree.... some of them look really cringe-y.

I'm guessing they were meant to be general rough drafts of the Naruto series they worked from. I'm guessing this was how the Naruto series was initially conceived. But these art and characters look way better than most in the series making Naruto look bland.

On the second picture it says "Kishimoto's version"

Where did you find these?

That's Naruto Orichara. Fans submitted their character concepts and Kishi redrew them in his style.
