  • While you were writing the manga, were the characters’ romances also decided in advance?

They weren't particularly at the top of my mind... I thought I'd let the story take its natural course. I wrote the story while thinking 'Will Sasuke and Sakura end up together, and how will it happen?'. That's because I didn't put Sakura in the position called 'heroine'. Being the protagonist, Naruto was of course a special case - but the others were pretty equal, and I didn't think of them as either main or minor. I decided (on the romances) based on how the characters would act as the story went. Though on the way, I also thought that Naruto and Sakura wouldn't really be right (romantically). One way or another, I decided (on the romances) at a fairly early stage.


  • So you left it to the characters themselves, is that right?
For me, how should I put it... I try not to be too aware of how (the characters) started their relationships. I get embarassed writing these things, and to be perfectly honest there are also some parts that I don't want to write about. (laugh) In 'The Last', Naruto's love story was written by someone else - and I'm glad that in the movie you can watch things that I couldn't write myself.

Wait a minute
Didn't he say before that the Last was his first time writing romance? And now he's saying he didn't write it?
I'm telling y'all he's just making up bs on the spot

They call the last "filler" because they are ignorant and butthurt about the NH pairing. Kishi already confirmed it from his own writing that its canon to the NV.

Kishi didn't write the whole thing or even most of it. He just gave input and helped with the designs, I believe that I read that sometimes Kishi woiuld find things and they would have to rewrite the script.

The ppl who came up with the Last originally was SP though. Whether canon or not isn't my concern, but Kishi probably just stated it to be canon, because SP volunteered to write the story that he couldn't

He worked on the script but didn't write the concept.

This basically.

Why you think the Gaiden is horrible?

OT; So Sakura isn't the heroine? Thanks Kisihmoto for confirming the obvious

I think kishimoto is saying that he didn't go out of his way to write the pairings which makes sense seeing how everyone near the end were together and pregnant with little to no hint. (Aside from the movie and gaiden for nh and ss.)

It also explains Sakura being a red herring. Even though NH being late game was obvious as he'll from the start. Had Sakura not been that way there would be one less question for people to theorize

Of course there are things he doesn't want to write about, because that's too much contradiction to explain. He simply left it to his fans to debate

Ive read no such thing in this interview did i miss it? Is sasusaku was he main love all those abuse wouldnt had happened and there would be a movie for it. Naruhina is also bad it was forced rushed and kishi shouldnt have made any pairings at all. Out of all the pairing only temari and shikamaru is good. Idk how people love sasusaku i only see sasuke carrying that pairing/family sasuke fans have no choice to defend it becuz it reflects bad on sasuke

shikamaru an temari was the better pairing as it show from start to end..
NH as kinda one sided...until end of the world ... space travel looking at the stars an the moon to showcase both side..

SS is pretty much forced.. best to be left out.. being sasuke such be single..,,,, sakura should of found someone else.. she pretty much alone.. 24/7 sad.. work keep her going.. hoping to have relation like other couple is non existence..

things chance in the course of time.. what original planned might not be what it will be in the end as you might get some better end results as you build on your overall manga story telling...an development
