Let's get on another topic. How do you come up with jutsu names ?

Kishimoto : During meetings I say the names I came up to my editor and we think about it together.
I explained to him what the jutsu does and hows does it looks with a rough drawing, since if you don't draw something it's hard to imagine what it's like.
After the meeting, after we decided what the jutsu would be like, I start looking for a name.
It's quite a delicate matter. I go for simple and "straight to the point" names, like Kage Bunshin/Shadow Clones.
My editor was rarely conviced by that and often asked me "Can't you come up with cooler names ?" Then I start looking for something better.
Like "Chidori/Thousand Birds" It wasn't supposed to be named like that.

What was the name like ?

Kishimoto : I actually forgot about that. That tells you how different it was. When I think about something linked to the jutsu itself it's far easier.
"A Sword named Chidori/Thousand Birds got cut by lightning and was renamed Raikiri". I imagined a lightning jutsu right after that.
sometimes, after talking with my editor, I change how the jutsu look. I visualized Chidori as Thousand Birds as many birds chirping.
For Edo Tensei, I explained my editor that the jutsu was supposed to resurrect the deads, then he gave me the very bouddhist like "Edo Tensei"/'Reincarnation to the Impure World".

You took a lot of your time to creates jutsu, right ?

Kishimoto : I always prepare some time to come up with jutsu names and then I think "What's the point ? I can do that the simple way."
now, with a global view, I think that's what really created the Naruto universe as we know it.
Wheh I saw the characters yelling the jutsu names in the anime, I realized the names I took the time to think through had way more impact once they were said by actors on TV.
But I think coming up with a "straight to the point" name is very important too. I must take a little from both.
