"The reason you started to write Naruto?"
"At the beginning, I thought I'd write a story about ramen... something about the relationship between noodles and soup. But that was no good, so I passed that part over to the protagonist's name and started to write about Japanese ninja."
"The theme that you fussed over the most?"
"The idea of being acknowledged, of wanting to be acknowledged. I gave the protagonist my own feelings of wanting to be acknowledged by my manga's editor."
"The class of readers that you keep in mind (when writing)?"
"First of all, children... second year schoolboys in middle school. Even if I have to prostrate myself, please watch me! The feelings held by second year schoolboys in middle school are a real treasure."
"Did something happen when you were in the second year of middle school?"
"I decided I wanted to become a professional mangaka."
"Your rival?"
"There are many. I can't narrow it down to just one. All the Jump authors are rivals with each other. Though the most frightening of all are the newcomers whose talent still hasn't come out."
And here are some parts of the Kishi interview published in Otonafami, still from 2ch:

-------絶賛盛り上り中の原作についてお聞かせ下さい。もう最終話までの道のり見えてるんでしょうか?
岸本
まだがちがちには固めていませんが、どういう風に見せるのか、どうやって終わるのかはかなり明 確に決まっ
てます
あとはそこに向かって走って行くだけです
-------となるとラストまでのボリュームが気になります。
岸本
いや、それが全然読めないんです(笑)予想していたよりも全然進んでいなくって。
3年くらい前のJFでカカシ活躍させるよって言っておきながら
まだそれも出来ていない状況
正直、どれだけ掛かるのか、自分でも分かりません。
アニメのキャラデザの西尾さんにも「いつまで続くんだ～」って言われ
「もう1年半くらい」って答えましたが、どうやらもっと続きそうです
--------まだまだサプライズはあるとみていいんですか?
岸本
いろいろありますよ。本来出てくるはずのないキャラがまだ出てきます
そして………。まだまだナルトと一緒に盛り上って行きますので応援よろしくお願いしま
"Let me ask you something about your exciting work, that is so greatly admired. Can we already see the end of the story on the horizon?"
"Not everything is set in stone just yet... like for example, in what way I'm going to show it - but the way I'm going to end it has been decided pretty clearly. So from now on, it will just be a matter of running towards that point."
"...in that case, you have in mind even the very last volume."
"No, you won't be able to read something like that. (laugh) The story really hasn't progressed as much as I was expecting. About three years ago, at JF, I said that I would give Kakashi more to do in the manga... and yet I still haven't been able to do that. Honestly, I myself don't know how much it will take. Nishio-san, who takes care of the character designs for the anime, also asked me for how long the story would continue... and I answered 'About one year and a half'. But it seems like it will take longer than that.""Can we be expecting any more surprises?"
"There are still quite a few. Some characters who originally weren't going to appear will come up again. And then... well, things are going to get exciting with Naruto, so please give me your support."
