Q: Which means, you are leaving it up to your characters.
Kishi: For me, I’m trying not to keep in mind (how characters) started their relationships. I get embarrassed drawing it, and in fact there are parts I don’t really want to write about (laugh). I let The Last - Naruto write about Naruto’s romance. Isn’t it great that you can watch in a movie what I couldn’t write myself.
Rough translation as usual. (I really hate the way Kishi speaks…)
Q: Were the characters’ romances also decided in advance?
Kishi: I didn’t keep it in mind that much because I wanted to go with the flow (of the story).
I drew (the story) while contemplating whether Sasuke and Sakura will end up together or what.
I didn’t put Sakura in the heroine’s position anyways.
Although Naruto is special as the protagonist, the others were equal and not categorized as main or minor. (The romances) were decided on how the characters will act as the story (proceeds). But halfway through I also thought that Naruto and Sakura were probably not that (not right). Somehow I did decide on (them/the romances) at a rather early stage
في ناس ما بتعرف تقرأ انجليزي
بحاولوا يبروون كلام كيشي بشكل مثير للشفقة
الحمد لله على نعم العقل
الصدمة وما تفعل جعلتهم يفقدون عقولهم
تم القصف بنجاح يا كيشي
