since i dnt know how to limk im just gona post the whole interview
I regret putting a mask on Kakashi's face. When I draw, it's difficult to communicate his facial expression without being able to show his mouth."
But to Takeuchi-san's request of "Please, show us Kakashi's mouth without fail!", he said something like "I won't promise anything".
"About Kakashi's bare face too, if I do at all, I'd rather draw it in the main story not on the back of a volume or something. But then, its not like I'm determined to write it."
"I'll write about Kakashi next year, about the 'my dearest people are all dead already' thing."
"Next year, I want to write about Kakashi's past. But given that I've been saying that for two years running, I will probably continue not writing about it, eh?"
"Since the beginning, I wanted to write a story that would force Naruto and Sasuke, who were friends, to have a confrontation."
"It was determined by me that Sasuke should turn from a friend to a foe from the start. From now Sasuke starts his moves little by little. And there're things about Itachi to boot."
"Naruto will start to move as well."
"I don't understand women's hearts, so I consulted with a coworker before writing the scene of Sasuke and Sakura's parting."
"I drew Sakura's crying face while making the same face. I struggled to draw the scene where she says "Please don't go!" to Sasuke with my editor as I found it difficult to get into a girl''s mind. It was an effect of the two geezers."
"Next year I'll write about Kakashi first, then about Sasuke and then about Naruto.
(Then Takeuchi-san and Nakamura-san asked Kishi "What about Sakura?!!")
"Sakura well…well she's slipped my mind."
"Since we're headed towards the conclusion, I will be writing with all of my power."
