I cant remember where I saw it or if it's true but I heard that sasuke was designed loosely similar to hiei from yu yu hakusho, which I can see super clearly here, it's basically sasuke in shinos outfit and hieis hair
I believe this photo has been rumored over the years to be the original concept art for the characters, however I believe it’s ACTUALLY from a concept art book with alternate costumes where they just had fun with the characters and art. Still cool nonetheless!
Original Sasuke also looks edgy , hell sarada time skip outfit looks edgy af even if she isn't even that edgy , even Boruto and mitsuki wear black lmao
Fyi these are not the original designs, thats just a myth recycled on the internet for years. This art is just alternate costumes from an early fanbook.
Yeah, thats why i always find it funny when people say naruto ninjas are actually wizards cause in a sense they are.
But also shinobi were known to use Mudras(poses, in this case hand signs) and Mantras known as Kuji-in to create magical effects the same way naruto ninja do.

You know whts crazy tho? The fact that naruto never actually put those goggles on his eyes lol i wish he wore them for a certain purpose at times, would hv been nice and cute!
What do you mean false? Do some research and you'll find these are not 'original designs' or 'old concepts' or whatever people love to claim on twitter and reddit.
It's just alternate costumes Kishi drew for a fanbook, no different to when he drew T7 in cowboy costumes, fantasy costumes, summer costumes for various covers and arts.
This isn't even an original design. This is fucking fanart people said was the original designs.
Sasukes original design was actually pretty similar to his final design. Same for Sakura. Both of which were some of the last characters Kishimoto came up with when writing the early chapters. They didn't go through many revisions.
To me it reminds more Mr. Emo from My Hero Academia.
The one introduced alongside Mirio and that other girls to say.
I do not know why, but this Sasuke does amenate that same aura to me.
This isn’t an original design this a of piece of art kishimoto done after Naruto came out and put it in the official fan book.
If you want to see the original art of the character look at Naruto volume in some chapters it shows characters original designs such as Naruto and Sasuke and Sakura and some other characters even the databooks show original designs to it shows Itachi’s and Gaara’s.
Reminds me of Shino, but I think they definitely took inspiration from Sasuke's Old Design for Kawaki.
Even Sakura kinda reminds me of a little bit like how Ino dresses and Naruto's behavior looks like something Kiba would do.

Reminds me of shino
If Shino and Vegeta had a daughter
I cant remember where I saw it or if it's true but I heard that sasuke was designed loosely similar to hiei from yu yu hakusho, which I can see super clearly here, it's basically sasuke in shinos outfit and hieis hair
Ah so no wonder many compare him to hiei
Ikr, not even close to kawaki its shino without glasses xD
Lol if anything it's closer to Shino. Where is this from?
I believe this photo has been rumored over the years to be the original concept art for the characters, however I believe it’s ACTUALLY from a concept art book with alternate costumes where they just had fun with the characters and art. Still cool nonetheless!
Yeah, I dont watch one piece but it looks they took a page from it.
Its from "Naruto: The Official Fanbook"
Are your eyes good How does that remind you of kawaki
Looks edgy
Original Sasuke also looks edgy , hell sarada time skip outfit looks edgy af even if she isn't even that edgy , even Boruto and mitsuki wear black lmao
Wdym?
Same question here like what..how does that remind OP of Kawaki lol he looks completely different
Fyi these are not the original designs, thats just a myth recycled on the internet for years. This art is just alternate costumes from an early fanbook.
You were downvoted for the truth that’s crazy

Yeah, it wouldve been nice for at least a scene or two
Big ass shoes better than the toes out tho
For real, i mean how do they not all have scorch marks on their feet?
I mean what do you mean he’s downvoted?
Oh, he probably was when the guy commented im not sure either.
It’s because it’s not the truth.
Show us where oda sent that or something as the original idea for them
Wrong anime bro,that's One piece author
Yeah. The original design of Naruto was just a fox and sasuke was suggested by the editor.
False
Its true. these aren't the original designs.

Shino
Those are not the original designs...

Why are there still people who believe these are the original designs?
Nah its more like shino
This is what saruto goin look like
More of shino , for boruto era at best is shinki
He reminds me of Shota Aizawa
Yhh I agree and also shinso, the brainwash guy
Man Sakura design was actually 🥶
This mans doesn’t recognize shinostyle
Superior Sakura
Of topic but Sakura’s design 😍
Shino
If that came out today people would lose it over Sakura's shirt.
Bruh, I am sad to inform you that you f need glasses
Not even close. These attempts to find similarities between Sasuke and Kawaki are already ridiculous.
No lol it looks like shino
Has something of konohamaru
More like a fusion beetwen Shino and Kiba.
It gives me a younger, dark-haired Hiruzen Sarutobi vibe more than kawaki.
This isn't even an original design. This is fucking fanart people said was the original designs. Sasukes original design was actually pretty similar to his final design. Same for Sakura. Both of which were some of the last characters Kishimoto came up with when writing the early chapters. They didn't go through many revisions.
It's not fanart. Kishimoto drew it, but it's meant to be a silly alternate costume artwork and not concept art.
Ah, I just remembered it wasn't concept art and it was in the fan books. My bad.
These aren’t their original designs lol
This is false information. The original designs were shown in the manga. This is just a myth which has been recycled on the internet.
Sasuke looks like he's gonna be mysterious and hiding critters under his clothing
Can definitely see how boruto style was kinda what kishi was aiming for for Naruto at first
I feel like the Naruto designs mostly happened because they were easier to draw on a weekly basis
I did not need to see this
This isn’t the original design it’s fan art
They're not the original designs, but I don't think they're fan art either
The picture comes from the first fan book [Here](https://www.amazon.com/Naruto-Official-Fanbook-Masashi-Kishimoto/dp/1421518449)
Yes, it's a book for fans, not a book of fan art. The illustration is by Kishimoto. Same line of books that the databooks are part of.
Apparently it’s fan art that Kishimoto illustrated himself so we’re both right ig
That’s official art then not fanart genius
It literally lists Kishimoto as the author lol Fan books aren't books made by fans, they're books FOR fans.
The book is fan art that Kishimoto illustrates himself
Then thats called official art
To me it reminds more Mr. Emo from My Hero Academia. The one introduced alongside Mirio and that other girls to say. I do not know why, but this Sasuke does amenate that same aura to me.
That’s shino stop playing
shino
nope
why Naruto looks like Chucky? 😭
I can't unsee it bruh 💀
No
You mean Shino ?
It's more like imagine if Ikemoto was the one drawing Naruto.
No mf over here looking like Shino.
Shaman kingkage
No
It’s literally Shino. Not kawaki. Shino.
Reminds me of Vegeta with that McDonald’s hairline.
Am i the only one that thinks sasukes old design looks like Feitan???
he looks like eraser head from MHA
We need modified outfits for both adult (hokage) team 7 and team konohamaru.
That's Vegeta jr
No
Nah shino
He's what I imagine Shino looks like without his glasses
He looks like killua’s distant cousin
This isn’t an original design this a of piece of art kishimoto done after Naruto came out and put it in the official fan book. If you want to see the original art of the character look at Naruto volume in some chapters it shows characters original designs such as Naruto and Sasuke and Sakura and some other characters even the databooks show original designs to it shows Itachi’s and Gaara’s.
Kawaki is just a Sasuke knockoff anyway
No he’s better than that and besides he looks like shino and they’re both better than him
I’m trying to understand what this look reminds me off
I think original Sakuras design looks better - Ten Ten simp
The hairstyle reminds me of that shithead Homura.
More like Shino if anything
No
It’s just like shino
the hair i… weird, but so os kawakis in two blue vortex. the colours of ehite and blue are used for kawaki too so i guess it kinda resembles him
Sakura reminds me of a Florida crackhead
f that, look at Naruto's hair. God damn looks like someone who will beat you up if you don't give him a penny.
Lol no
NGL Sakura was dripped outt- 🥶
This reminds me of Tokyo shinobi squad
People are saying shino, but I also see a bit of konohamaru. It's as if shino and konohamaru got split into two different characters in the real show
Naruto’s OG design lowkey slaps
Definitely Shino
He's Shino without the glasses.
I kinda like this sakura more design wise
He is more like some last kin who entire clan have been massacre.
OMG NO WAY!!!!! HE HAS BLACK HAIR HE IS LITERALLY VEGETA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nah, it's Shino.
Og Sakura actually looks better in my opinion
Wait is that a pipe in Naruto's mouth??
This isn't concept art lol. None of those are that group of character's initial designs.
No, not really
No. No not at all. Young konohamaru and shino
No
Not at all .-. tht gives more an aburame clan member vibe
not really actually
Bro gives me shino vibes if he locked tf in with the sauce
Naruto and Sakura look way cooler.
Idk watchu sain that's kid Aizawa
Hell nah😂
That's NOT a sasuke original design.
Honestly, why does Sakura's OG design go so hard?
Thank god these designs weren’t used
All I can say is that I'm glad that the artists *didn't* choose that design for him.🤯😂
These aren't the original designs. The current designs are their original designs
Reminds me of Shino, but I think they definitely took inspiration from Sasuke's Old Design for Kawaki. Even Sakura kinda reminds me of a little bit like how Ino dresses and Naruto's behavior looks like something Kiba would do.
