How would you rate Kishi's series to your series?
That's one rather provocative question

First of all, let's say that I don't think it's appropriate to compare them, first because one is manga and the other one is a story, and second because my story is based on his plot.
And now, to answer your question ... I absolutely loved his series 'till the end of the Pain arc. Or perhaps until Danzo's death, I'm not sure, but somewhere about it. After this point, I believe that he messed it all a bit too much and got lost himself. Truth to be told, I tend to believe that he himself didn't manage to handle the vast plot he had created, forgetting about many important and interesting things and rushing it to the end, sacrificing the quality. Virtually, what I write is an attempt to 'fix' the majority of the flaws he created, i.e. it's 'how the manga should've continued and ended in my opinion'. Which means that what I take out of canon are pretty much the things I either like, or the things in which I see a potential to become interesting, hence trying to make them, well, interesting.
