Is this what you call 'back to canon'? :lol I feel pity for the anime watchers.
The Itachi part was based off novels Kishi helped write, similar to how someone else wrote Naruto The Last and Kishi only did a rough frame of it. So it's canon.

Hopefully it's a better writer than the one from the last.
I can read Japanese a little. I read what I could and the translation. Those Itachi novels are good, but a little dark. They added more layers to the character. This won't be Itachi wanking/ re telling what we know.

Lmao fillers are fillers, it may be canon as anime but not manga wise.

But still its good knowing that it also catched my attention.

Great episode, even though I generally dislike the Itachi hype, I have to admit he was badass even as a little boy.

By that logic, the following aren't canon: The Last, Boruto, or any of the novels. If Kishi helped write it and it fits the timeline it should be canon.

Wrong, the last was not written by kishimoto. Only boruto the movie was. This is non-canon considering the fact that nowhere in the manga it says something about itachi gaiden. And itachi gaiden was neither written by kishimoto himself, only illustrated by him.

Though if kishimoto says that he consider this as canon, then of course yes.

Overseeing/providing a framework gets you a writing credit. You're speaking to someone who made money writing that way. He illustrated, but also looked over the story.

As long as its not his story, i cant really see him as the original producer. Though the concept of "canon" my friend is only meant to be seen as "strictly going after the manga". Which is not the case this time.
