Is Kishimoto getting back at his editor by writing Sasuke and Sakura like this?

Or does he secretly not like them.

They weren't even supposed to be in the series iirc.


As you can tell by the series, Kishi has pretty much been trying to dumpster those two. He's even using the gaiden's sub-plot to do it. He used Sasuke to basically go around the world starting shit then have him be manipulated for a large part of the series. Then having him flip-flop between what he wants to do.



I used to wonder how Kishi was going to write himself out of Sasuke choking Sakura

He went with impaling her via genjutsu then leaving after her being allegedly pregnant. (Plot twist, same DNA as Karin)

Pretty much lampshading a good chunk of things for them to either be explained at a later date or a heel-face turn with Sasuke having a heart to heart with his daughter.

Then he used Sakura as a red herring.

Judging by the concept art, he had a more interesting and outerworldly approach to the NV.
One that he's showed much later into the series.

Ōtsutsuki being from another planet. Living trees as the source of chakra, monster-type Akatsuki etc.​

He is just testing how crazy and deluded are the fans.

maybe karin and sakura are related in some way as sisters and orochimaru machine would show true on karin and sakura both
maybe suigetsu actually tested dna of her father and it matched cuz he is so stupid
maybe sakura couldnt get pregnent cuz of some issues so sasuke asked karin to be a mother of his kid cuz he wanted to revive uchiha clan
who knows xD

If he has guts to choke, penetrate, humiliate his main heroine then i guess nothin is surprised at momment.
Even if it turn out sarada is her daughter wont change anything, only make it worse for everybody. No one is gonna interest in Sarada as her potential is predicted, nothin new to add (except sukura fan and their delusional)

sasuke wasnt manipulated though. everything he did, he chose himself and they all had their reasons. sasukes character is simply diverse so its no surprise kishi uses him

Damn that concept art is sick!!

I just think he's fallen off as a writer. I mean he started off a little above average, then in shippuden dropped to average-below average, and now at gaiden he's dried up. But he's been doing it mostly weekly for 15 years so it makes sense.

I don't know why he started gaiden though, none of this was needed. He's just milking it, but since I'm reading it must work.
