Naruto Hiden (NARUTO -ナルト- 秘伝, literally meaning: Naruto Secret Chronicles) is a light novel series which was released from February to July 2015. The series explores the stories of various characters after the conclusion of the original manga. Though each book is illustrated by Masashi Kishimoto, they are written by different authors.[1] It's also a part of the Naruto Project. VIZ Media began releasing English translations of the novels in November of 2015.[2]

Two of these novels (Shikamaru Hiden and Konoha Hiden) were adapted for the Naruto: Shippūden anime in the winter of 2016.
