Whats the name of that translator?
I still havent found Kishimoto's interview yet but I found this
Found the correct interview but its nothing much
Interviewer: “The anime is still going on - but in the original manga, the trio’s love triangle came to a definite end with the couples of Naruto and Hinata and Sasuke and Sakura. Were you all expecting this development?”
Takeuchi: "Yes. ……..well, I say that - but the truth is that in the past, during a meeting, I once asked Kishimoto-sensei about this conclusion."
Nakamura: "It was at the very beginning of the anime broadcast - around the second time we were meeting him, right?"
Sugiyama: "From that time, he’s been saying that ‘In the end, Sasuke and Sakura will get together’".
———————
Nakamura: This may be off-topic but in the story of family love, I love Minato and Kushina’s story the most!
Takeuchi: Yes me too!
Nakamura: Kushina told Naruto to “find a woman like me”, but the only woman like Kushina around Naruto is Sakura.
Sugiyama: Both Sakura and Kushina are the strong one in the relationship (laughs)
Nakamura: That’s why if Naruto and Hinata will fight, Naruto will soon go to Sakura’s place asking what he should do
Takeuchi: And then Sakura will tell him, “You don’t understand a girls feelings!”
Nakamura: Yes yes!
Takeuchi: But if that’s the case there is no place for Hinata……
Nakamura: Well, Sakura’s bond with Naruto must be more stronger than that of lovers/husband and wife. Besides, Hinata is good friends with Sakura too
Takeuchi: Yes if they fight even Hinata will go to Sakura’s place
Nakamura: So I think in the end Naruto, Sakura, and Hinata are like a big family
Takeuchi: that’s weird. Where’s Sasuke then?
Sugiyama: Well, Sasuke is always traveling around the world. Even his daughter says to him “Cho Shannaro!” He doesn’t have much power in the family.
