Honestly, this guy is more of a troll than he is a story teller. I feel he is resorting to cheap 'tricks' to keep his manga entertaining and interesting since he knows he's latest work has been full of crap and ass pulls.
To be more specific, I'm talking about the way he introduced the fact that there is a man inside of swirly, and that a man is standing next to Sasuke. chapter 663 ended with the reveal that someone is standing next to sasuke. ending the chapter like this implies to me that it will be the center of the next chapter with a major reveal. instead we get pointless panels of lee and gai. Also, the man inside of swirly. so he just "casually" reveals that there is a man inside of swirly and teaser much(?) we get to see...an ear. Absolutely no reference to swirly this chapter, and im confident we wont be hearing from him in a while because Kishi wants to create suspense among his fans.
But I think that is BS. The identity of Tobi was a well executed long developed story element. But these ass pulls are just 'in case of emergency fans loosing interest'.
And for how many chapters now have Naruto and Sasuke been death now? 3? 4? OBVIOUSLY the two of them are not gonna die. they are the main characters of the story. So why try to make suspenseful what is obvious?
I have been watching/reading naruto for several years now and it hurts me to say it, but this manga is not at the caliber it once was. its like its been written by a different person.
