Seems totally legit. See, my friends cousin's girlfriend's sister lives Japan. Her dog's friend is a cat that is friends with the local monkey. This monkey drove taxi's, right. Anyway, Kishimoto caught this monkey's cab once and he said if monkey ever needed anything, anything at all. All he'd have to do is phone Kishimoto. So one day about a month ago, the taxi company went out of business and the monkey rung up Kishimoto and called in his favour. He got a job as Kishi's personal butler. So anyway he even discusses Kishi's idea's with him and monkey has confirmed to the cat which passed the message along that one of team seven will indeed die.
