As you know, Sasuke was only a late suggestion when the first Naruto pilot chapter came out from an editor (luckily he was very popular & led to some cool story developments but that's irrelevant rn)Not sure I follow.
but saying No Uchiha = No story is silly bc talking hypothetically if Sasuke had never been suggested then there still would've been a story, just a different one- like originally planned. That's all I was going for when responding to that one guy.
I'm personally not huge on how much we focused on the Uchiha (even though 2 of my favourites are from that clan) but there's plenty more world out there that could've filled that Uchiha-sized blank.
