I've read interviews and it seems Kishi does have a bias toward Sasuke. Stating he doesn't like the "troublesome things" he does. Funny when you consider Kishi is the one who wrote Sasuke doing those troublesome things.

If Kishi didn't like Sasuke or the things he made him do, why didn't Kishi reconstruct Sauske's character or just phase him out?

Yeah he said he found him the most troublesome character to write and he messed up his expressions many times and the editor had him do it again.

who is the editor? what's his name?
is the editor the one who writes the story?

is the editor kishi's master?
Yes editors are Kishi's master

1)Naruto being a ninja was the editor's idea.Kishi intended him to be in a ramen shop
2)Naruto was originaly supposed to turn into a demon fox at will and transform back but editors overruled that
3)The Chunnin Exam Arc was the Editor's idea
4)Sasuke and Sakura were the editor's idea
5)The romance triangle in the manga was the editor's idea
6)Tsunade was supposed to fight Pain but editors told Kishi to overrule it and have Naruto fight him instead
7)Naruto and Sasuke werent supposed to lose their hands but hold each other hands but editors forced him not to
8)Kishi wanted Toneri to appear in Part 3 but Editors overruled it

These are just of the top of my head

Not that I don't like Anti-Hero Sasuke (Five Kage) but Part 1 Sasuke was cool too. It just seems that Kishi deliberately set Sasuke to be anti-everything of Naruto. It all felt forced and inorganic. Naruto has never done anything to Sasuke to warrant Sasuke's multiple attempts on his life. Kishi should've stuck with Sasuke trying to kill the Leaf Elders Homura and Koharu.




When you think about how disconnected Sasuke is to his Leaf peers in Part 2 in the manga, anime and movies. Sasuke seems to be excluded from the group activities frequently. And the way the manga ended, Sasuke still seems excluded. He never really could come home after everything he had done.

Kishi answered that part.Its because he needed someone to play the role of "The Sulk" Lol

Heres the relevant part

"-the toughest chara to both draw and write about was・・・・ Sasuke
Despite he likes Sasuke, he found him esp as he went into a sulk, totally difficult to depict. He was often told to 'redo' sasukes face by his editor.

-on the impressions of the last chap (they must mean #699),
Ms Takeuchi and other VAs were " wow Sasukes talked a lot!"...(laugh)

-About the turning point of the story,
sensei(=kish) said it had to be 'the valley of the end' where Sasuke went into sulk and Naruto stayed as his friend to the very end....in short 'Naruto' is a story about bringing back Sasuke from the sulk.

-to the q 'what would you have done if Sasuke hadn't gone into Sulk?'
sensei answered probably hed have made some other chara sulk (laughs).

-to answer a q 'what has changed after starting the series?'
he said 'Sound nasty but money...' then added 'and the thinning of hair.'"

Sasuke is not a ordinary "legal" shinobi to stay in the village 24/7.He is the type to go out and gain knowledge,contemplate on himself and train to become strongest he can possible be.Besides if he stays in the village it would mean he accepts Naruto's authority over him which he wont allow.I have no doubt he returns to the village at times but as Naruto's rival and his opposite in personality it makes sense for him to stay aloof like "Batman"

Thanks for the info. Lol at "the sulk".


Yeah the Sasuke staying outside the village makes sense the way you put it. Naruto rules on Olympus and Sasuke is out there walking the Earth.
