naruto Novels as Canon

[Shadowbokunohero]

I personally Think The Naruto Hiden/shinden Novels and the the episodes that adapt them should be considered canon, regardless if Kishimoto wrote them or not, i thik it is important for us to count them as canon as these novels highlight events in the story which can not be possibly counted as Filler such as naruto and hinata's wedding, and besides we have a official timeline which indicates where the novels take place between the movies and what not, not counting it because its not written by Kisi is a not good reason at all, otherwise many of DB super's stuff should be considered non canon as akira only lays down the basics of the plot like what happens from A to B and its up to the other creators to fill in the blanks between the two like toei and the Db Super manga did, i think the Novels should be treated so to, this is My OP but i would like to hear your guys thoughts on the matter and hope you have a good day

At the Moment, Naruto is Shueisha's Star Wars.

In honesty, The Novels in Shueisha's official Timeline should be canon. Naruto is owned by Shueisha similarly to Star Wars being owned by Disney.

Shueisha owns the rights to: Movie/TV/Story of the Naruto franchise the same as any other franchise owned by a publication. Kishi is the Original Author yes but he doesn't own Naruto. He has to sell the rights of his story to Shueisha first and foremost just to get it published.

Do you honestly think People like Toriyama can dictate what happens in DB or anything?

Yes, they should be accepted as canon for reasons above.
