> Beginning of Volume 1 for Boruto: I-E Flash forward; Destroyed Village, villain, etc.
Beginning of Naruto, at least volume 1 would be chapter 1 ... and it is not dark.
Regardless the context for the discussion is how he wanted to make Boruto lighter than Naruto (as in the stories), however, he also wanted to show that there is a turning point when the story takes a turn.
IMO
To Whatever

How does that change anything ? Neji's potential was too haxx and Kishi had to keep Uchiha in the spotlight, he could've paired Naruto and Hinata through any other means heck even with Toneri, but no he had to kill the only guy with the talent to unlock Hamura's power. Neji's death was a nerf, fact.#Rekt to all those who thought otherwise and saying that Neji died only for them being together.
OT : Awesome interview.
yeah , I agree , I loved Naruto , because the series was dark ,
and I feel sad that the Boruto manga would not be dark and bloody ,
I mean it really have the potential , it really has a good start
it started with Naruto being dead and the whole Village being destroyed , even Boruto design is awesome and it really fits well with a dark series
I mean just compare his design with Naruto's

THE TRUTH HAS BEEN SPOKEN
I would've been satisfied with Neji's death , if only at least he got a proper death , Kishimoto could've gave him a good fight scene , but nooo , instead he died by a simple attack (that he could've easily counter ) like a FODDER , which is really hard to admit as a Neji fan , and for WHAT ?!! ,for a ****ing pairing , for a meaningless hand-holding moment .
heck , this the most horrible death I could give to a character . and it have to be Neji , like WTF .
at least he could've gave him some bonding moment with his Edo father

And here I was expecting Sarada to be a cold blooded fighter like her father and uncle, I could easily see her beheading high tier opponents like they were nothing -_-
nah , I liked that in the Last that they didn't mention Neji's death , because I like the idea of Neji dying to protect his comrades and the one he loves , not so Naruto can **** Hinata
and NH should be together since the Pain arc , but nope they had to keep Naruto more focused on his Sasuke , and they had to add a meaningless love-triangle drama shit that completely ruined Sakura's character

Sakura's character was completely ruined in the Five Kage Summit arc because of this love triangle

i laughed so hard when Kishimoto said he initially thought of Sakura as just another character, like Shikamaru and Kiba. That's gotta hurt all of their fans XD

I'm not sure if Kishimoto contradicts himself all the time, or if he's just a liar.
Some points:
-He said that NH was planned since the beginning, and i don't doubt this is true, but he forgot about it in the middle of the story, and he is a terrible author.
-Sakura was intented to be a side/minor character like Kiba, this is in accordance with what he said on other interviews, but she is still the female character that has more screentime, and she is awfully developed.
-He had no role for sakura and throwed her as a red herring for love triangle, which is a pity as she had a lot of potential. I wonder if he's not ashamed of the character he wrote.
-Does he hates women? Every woman is irrelevant side character for him?
-I always thought Boruto as a character is more interesting and smart than Naruto, but not sure if the manga will be good, even with a better lead character.
But he contradictis himself all the time, so who knows.

I think he tried to say that he didn't want to begin Boruto as dark as shippuden, but later the plot will became darker.
But he contradictis himself all the time, so who knows.

Kishimoto have really shitted her character on the Five Kage Summit arc (which BTW was the worst arc)
this would give you a better view of the assassination of the Character Sakura haruno by the author Masashi Kishimoto
Things that Sucked: The Assassination of Haruno Sakura’s Character by the Author Kishimoto Masashi
let’s try to approach this particular gripe from a different angle than the usual.
Kishimoto: Hey, Sakura!
Sakura: Yes, Kishimoto?
Kishimoto: I’m about to make you relevant again! Just wait for your cue.
Sakura: Yay! I haven’t had a chance to shine in about 200 chapters! Will I get a fight scene?
Omoi and Karui enter. Omoi jump kicks Sakura in the face.
Karui: Hey! Aren’t you the chick with a crush on that Sasuke guy?! Well, he’s now working with the Akatsuki! Just last week he attacked several Kumo citizens, captured my master, and wore a shirt with a popped collar! Just a head’s up! BTW, what do you see in that guy?!
Karui and Omoi leave. Sakura cries. Sai enters.
Sai: Hey, Sakura? You know that romance subplot you’re a part of? Well, you’re really going to hate this.
Sakura: What? Why?
Sai: You’ll see in a moment. But anyway, you realize that Naruto has feelings for you?
Sakura: OMG, I did not realize such a thing despite the fact that my team mate, who I work with almost every day, is not the least bit subtle about his interest in me.
Sai: Also, I’m here to remind you that for someone who promised to work with Naruto to save Sasuke, you’ve been awfully willing to let him shoulder the burden. Seriously, what have you done lately? BTW, it gets worse for your character.
Sakura cries some more.
Sakura: Oh God, am I crying again? As if my haters don’t have enough of that to mock me till Doomsday! Tell me it gets better for me throughout this arc!
Sai: …
Shikamaru enters.
Shikamaru: Hey, we’ve all decided that since Sasuke has made himself an international issue, we’re all gonna kill him, m’kay? Now listen to my bloated and moronic explanation of how Kumogakure killing Sasuke would set off a cycle of revenge that could be easily rectified if you, Ino, and Naruto had the brains to realize that it would be really, really stupid to attack a Kumo nin for carrying out the law. Oh, and also, Kishimoto’s going to really shit all over your character for the rest of the arc.
Shikamaru, having made his less than stellar case, leaves.
Sakura: Oh well, time to recruit some guys to tell Naruto what’s up. All right, Sai aside, I’m going to need a couple of dumbasses to track Sasuke without being smart enough to realize I’m planning something.
Kiba and Lee enter.
Kiba, Lee: Did someone say that they needed a couple of dumbasses?
Sakura: Perfect.
Naruto enters.
Sakura: Hey, Naruto!
Naruto: Yeah?
Sakura: I need to talk to you. It involves the romance subplot sticking its head out in the most awkward manner possible.
Naruto: Oh. ****.
Sakura: Yeah. Anyway, I like you and don’t have feelings for Sasuke and am totally not hiding anything from you involving the childhood crush I just can’t shut up about so please believe everything I say.
Naruto: Wow, aren’t you giving Meryl Streep a run for her money?
Lee: I am now posing in a manner that matches the reaction of anyone reading this scene.
Sakura: Oh FFS, later!
Naruto leaves.
Kiba: Well, that was an awkward scene that totally pissed off a bunch of shippers. So, why are you acting like a stupid *****, exactly?
Sakura: Because this is apparently Kishimoto’s idea of a heroine.
Kiba: That dude has issues. Hey, I’ve tracked Sasuke! And he’s with that masked Akatsuki guy. Let’s take them on despite the fact that one, Sasuke alone managed to outclass you, Naruto, Sai, and Yamato just a few arcs back, and two, that each individual Akatsuki fought so far required either a highly skilled team or elite ninja to beat!
Lee: Good idea!
Sakura: Now!
Sai: Not so fast. I know that Sakura here is planning on gassing us and taking out Sasuke by herself.
Lee: Holyshitwhatthe****?!
Kiba: RAWR! Imma act like a dumbass despite showing a surprising amount of intelligence earlier and give Sakura an opportunity to gas us!
Sakura gasses them.
Sakura: Thank God for dumbasses.
Sai: Must…breathe in fumes…instead…of getting out…of range…despite…being a highly skilled…ROOT…operative.
Sakura: Now to deal with Sasuke. I hope Kishimoto wrote me a plan so brilliant that readers will be talking about it for years.
Sasuke enters. Karin also enters, except she’s lying on the ground covered in her own blood.
Sakura: Sasuke! Imma join up with joo now! Nothing suspicious about all this!
Sasuke: Has anyone ever told you that you’re a modern day Sarah Bernhardt? In fact, your performance is so bad that it makes me want to put a hole in your head. Eh, why not?
Sasuke, ever the critic, tries to put a hole in her head. Just as he’s about to make the arc a little less painful to read, Kakashi enters the scene like a boss.
Kakashi: Surprise, mother****er! Damn, I’m awesome.
Karin: Damn, that guy is awesome.
Sakura: Damn, Kakashi is awesome.
Sasuke: Damn, he has a nice ass…I mean, damn you, Konoha *******s! Maniacal laugh!
Kakashi: Sakura, you’re irrelevant to the main plot right now except as walking scenery. Get over there in the kitchen and make me a sandwich. No wait, I’ve had your sandwiches, so no go on that. I’ll make my own damn sandwich. Actually, if you do want to make yourself useful, you can heal this chick here.
Sakura: Damn it, my character’s relevance can’t end here! Not like this! I know! I’ll take out Sasuke myself! That should restore some of my lost dignity.
Sakura proceeds to act like an actual ****ing ninja and prepares to stab Sasuke from behind.
Kishimoto: What the? A female character looking cooler than a male in the same scene? Oh no you don’t! Flashback no jutsu!
Sakura: ****! It’s a bunch of flashbacks that don’t really justify the depth of whatever feelings the author says I have for Sasuke.
Sasuke: Wow, this is so sad that I think it best to put you out of your misery right here.
Sakura: Please do. You know what would really suck? If you were about to finish me off and the moment was used to portray me as a damsel in distress that needed rescu-
Naruto enters the scene with an epic save.
Naruto: EPIC SAVE!
Sakura: Well, ****.
Naruto: Sakura, I think you should stand back and let the relevant characters speak.
Sakura: Wow, after hundreds of chapters in which it was foreshadowed that I would surpass Tsunade and play an important role in saving Sasuke, I am now expected to relegate myself to cheerleader status. What the hell does that make me?
Kishimoto: A heroine!
Sakura: Go **** yourself.
Kakashi: Hey Sakura, hate to distract you from that conversation you’re having with the author, but we need you to humiliate yourself for the sake of some ill-timed slapstick.
Sakura: And there goes the last shred of my dignity.
