UGH. Kishi has such a hard-on for his own creations (sauske and the uchihas.) He really ought to just drop Naruto and write a manga that is nothing but the uchihas all standing around in cool poses and in various states of undress.
It's obvious that Naruto is just jesus now, wanting to heal the world and all of that sissy crap (no offense intended to and religious people here!) and all the author really cares about is thinking up new ways to glorify the uchiha and make naruto look like a drooling idiot.
I'm not a giant narutard, and I don't even really hate sasuke. I'm just tired of watching the main character switch back and forth from a powerful resourceful fighter to a bumbling fool constantly. Meanwhile his faaaavorite uchihas are always busy being "cool and "mysterious".
I'll bet that kishi owns some sharingan contact lenses, and runs around his home wearing them screaming "SHARINGAN!" all day in between making out with his custom sauske blow up doll.
word.

出演者は、岸本先生、竹内さん(ナルト)、井上さん(カカシ)、杉山さん(サスケ)、中村さん (サクラ)の 5名。 今年はカカシ班の4名が勢ぞろいです。
The performers were five, Kishimoto-sensei, Takeuchi-san (Naruto), Inoue-san (Kakashi), Sugiyama-san (Sasuke) and Nakamura-san (Sakura). This year it was a line-up of the four members of Team Kakashi.
昨年のステージは声優さんたちへの質疑応答が中心だったらしいので、今年もそうなのかな?と思 っていました が、今年は質疑応答以外に、なんと!原画生アフレコをして下さいましたー!
Since apparently last year's performance was centered around a session of question and answer towards the seiyuu, I wondered if this year would be the same - but this year, instead of a question and answer session, waah! They dubbed some original drafts!
スクリーンにナルトの名場面(ナルトとサスケの出会い、2人の対決、サスケとサクラの別れ、カ カシ班で弁当 をわけるシーンなど)が原画が映るのですが、それに合わせてセリフをその場で各声優さんがアフ レコして下さ るんです!!
On the screen came out some original pictures of Naruto's most famous scenes (Naruto and Sasuke's meeting, their showdown, Sasuke and Sakura's parting, the scene where they split the bentou between the members of Team Kakashi, and so on), and each seiyuu dubbed the lines that went with those scenes on the spot!
声優さんに興味があるという訳ではないのですが、それでも生アフレコにはシビれました!
特にサスケ! 「千鳥!!」など、めっちゃ迫力がありましたよー!
It's not like I'm particularly interested in the seiyuu, but still - I went numb at the live dubbing!
Particularly Sasuke! "Chidori!!" and so on, it was so intense!
シーンごとにスモークをたいたり、電飾が変化したりとステージの見せ方にも趣向を凝らしてあり 、非常に見応 えがありました。
One by one the scenes were built up with smoke, the decorative illumination was changed and they thought up something clever for the way they showed the stage too... it was very impressive.
岸本先生へのインタビューを覚えている範囲で簡単にw
This is simply what I can remember of Kishimoto-sensei's interview:
「カカシにマスクを付けたことに後悔しています。口元が見えず絵で表情が現し難いので。」
"I regret putting a mask on Kakashi's face. When I draw, it's difficult to communicate his facial expression without being able to show his mouth."
竹内さんの「カカシの口を是非公開して下さーい」というお願い対しては、「それは約束はしませ ん」というよ うなことをおっしゃっていました。
But to Takeuchi-san's request of "Please, show us Kakashi's mouth without fail!", he said something like "I won't promise anything".
「来年は、カカシの過去を描きたいと思っています。でも2年前からそう言い続けながらずっと書 いていないん ですよねw」
"Next year, I want to write about Kakashi's past. But given that I've been saying that for two years running, I will probably continue not writing about it, eh?"
「最初から、友達だったナルトとサスケを対決させる話にしようと思っていた。」
"Since the beginning, I wanted to write a story that would force Naruto and Sasuke, who were friends, to have a confrontation."
「サスケとサクラの別れのシーンでは、女心がわからず、同僚と相談して描いた」
"I don't understand women's hearts, so I consulted with a coworker before writing the scene of Sasuke and Sakura's parting."
「来年はサスケのことも描きたいと思っています」
"Next year, I want to write about Sasuke too."
「完結へ向けて全力で描いていこうと思います」
"Since we're headed towards the conclusion, I will be writing with all of my power."
ちょっとしたミニゲームがあったり、ロックリーの声優さんがVTRで登場したりと笑いあり、感 動ありのステ ージでした。
There was also a trifling mini-game, and Rock Lee's seiyuu made his entry on VTR. It was a funny and moving performance.
JUMPBANGに登場しているひかりごけ片山さんが登場し、最後は全員でロックリー体操をしたのですが、 普段はペンしか持たないという岸本先生が、ぜぃぜぃあえぎながら踊っていたのが印象的でしたw ww
Then Katayama-san, the luminous moss (Note: not sure about this part XD) that appeared in JUMPBANG, entered the stage - and in the end, all the participants did Rock Lee's physical exercises! But as always Kishimoto-sensei, who only ever carries a pen, kept hopping around while wheezing. It was very impressive! XD
岸本先生の印象は、若くて謙虚。 そして虚弱体質!?w
人当たりが良さそうな優しいイメージでした。
My impression of Kishimoto-sensei was of a young and modest man. Also with a weak constitution!?
He gave me the feeling of a kind man, with pleasant manners.

Question: What would you change about the Naruto series if you could go back?
Answer: I would draw Kakashi without his mask. Fans expectations have gotten so high that now if I were to draw his face, they would get disappointed *laugh*
Question: When did you decide to have Naruto and Sasuke go on different ninja paths?
Answer: From the beginning.
Question: What is going to happen to Sasuke next year?
Answer: There is still much story behind Sasuke. His appearance will be more frequent next year.
Question: Which character do you want to play as in Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations?
Answer: Sasuke
