Naruto: Uzumaki - Art Collection by Masashi Kishimoto

Naruto: Uzumaki - Art Collection by Masashi Kishimoto (NARUTO―ナルト― 岸本斉史画集 UZUMAKI) is the first official illustration book for the Naruto manga series, created by Masashi Kishimoto.

It is based on Naruto, one of the best-selling manga series of all time, written and illustrated by Masashi Kishimoto and serialized in Weekly Shōnen Jump. The story follows Naruto Uzumaki, a young ninja from the village of Konoha who seeks the recognition of those around him and dreams of becoming Hokage, the leader of his village. Its blend of action, ninja world-building and bonds between characters turned it into a global phenomenon, with an anime adaptation and a huge fan base.

This volume is the original Japanese edition, published by Shueisha under the Jump Comics imprint on 2 July 2004, and represents the very first art collection in the entire franchise. It is a softcover edition with 142 pages gathering more than 70 full-color illustrations by Kishimoto, most of them drawn from the early years of the series. Naruto appears on the front cover and Sasuke on the back, and throughout the book you'll find the saga's most beloved characters, such as Sakura and Kakashi.
