I just found out that Sasuke was NEVER supposed to be in this manga. The only reason he is in this manga is because Mashima's daughter drew him first and Mashime later on decided to add him to the manga.

Just found out and thought I'd share to those of you who didn't know about this. If you knew about this then please ignore this thread, theres no need for any negative comments.

It was his son.

I wouldn't be interested in Naruto at all if he wasn't in. Well until Minato showed up.
Good job Kishi's son.

I didn't hear that story.

I had just heard that Sasuke was created because someone advised Kishimoto to give Naruto a rival.

He was designed to be the opposite of Naruto.

He's just a rival for naruto just so he can get more viewers. In the end, we all know Sasuke will be begging naruto for mercy. :yeah:

First, Kishimoto editor suggested he invent a rival character for Sasuke. Sasuke has since become Kishimoto's favorite character to draw. there many other changes. the first draft was supposed to urban fantasy.
All of this is irrelevant because authorial intent is irrelevant. It doesn't matter what Kishimoto thought was Sasuke or what he intended for Sasuke. what matters is the reactions of fans. GRRM never intended the Hound to be a popular character but he is.

I've been to a few websites about this and they all said his daughter drew him first.

Like most of you guys said maybe someone else told kishi to make a Rival for Naruto but Mashima'd daughter designd his character then.

Imagine if Naruto's rival was not the current "Sasuke" but a completely different character lol

Sasuke didn't even exist in the one-shot version of Naruto released in '97

Only favorite to draw. Not one of his favorites. The only character Kishimoto ever came out saying was his favorite, was Choji

It means that sasuke's character is nothing more than just a simple rival to test and improve naruto's capabilities.

In the original draft of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Hermione's father found Harry with his dead parents in a rickety shack on a island in a storm. What does this mean? Absolutely nothing. In one draft of the Lord of the Rings, Aragorn was a hobbit, not the heir to the throne of Gondor. What does this mean? Absolutely nothing.

Naruto is not the same story it was in the original draft. It has evolved. Even if you hate Sasuke, you have to accept he is the second most important character in the series. He's also the character with the most character development. Sasuke had whole arcs devoted to him. He is not some plot device. That's more than a simple rival would ever get.
