Things I’d love to ask Kishimoto if I could
About the Sasunaru v. Narusasu ship war. He KNOWS about it and I believe he favours NS over SN but I still need to hear his thoughts.
About the Narusasu doujinshis he copied for the manga. I know we sns shippers give him grace and say he didn't copied them we're just so good at reading his work we could predict what was gonna happen in the manga and all that stuff, IDC he copied that shit and I'm gonna inquire about it.
Are Naruto and Sasuke having an affair? yes or no answer. They way he wrote adult Naruto Sasuke's relationship feels like he's pushing us, the readers, in a certain direction where he wants us to question the nature of their bond. Like he already established the marriages are miserable but all the secret *constant* meetings (because yes Kishimoto had to make sure to tell us they happen often), Sasuke's explosive behavior when Naruto suggests he should see his family, the letters they send each other, the fact Naruto knows how to fight with a sword meaning Sasuke had to teach him at some point... alone... just the two of them... It does seem like he wants us to speculate.
Does he regret the finale he gave Naruto? The way he talks about Boruto now, always dismissive always talking about how this is mostly Ikemoto's work rather than his, but also how he gave Naruto and Sasuke unhappy lives as adults trapped in depressing marriages, when he could've done the opposite and used Boruto the movie and Naruto Gaiden to develop NH and SS instead. But he didn't, so does he regret it in the end?
