Kishimoto: Naruto to continue for more than 2 years.

DatFatPat · July 22nd, 2012, 06:19 PM

Question: Let us ask you something about your exciting work, that is so greatly admired. Has the end of Naruto already been decided?

Kishimoto-sensei: Not everything is set in stone just yet. For example, I haven’t decided on the events that lead to the end, but the end itself has been decided pretty clearly. So from here on out it will just be a matter of running towards that point.

Question: In that case, do you have in mind how the very last volume will flow?

Kishimoto-sensei: No, you won’t be able to read something like that just yet (laugh). The story really hasn’t progressed as much as I was expecting. About three years ago, at Jump Festa, I said that I would give Kakashi more to do in the manga. However, I still haven’t been able to do that. Honestly, I myself don’t know how much it will take. Nishio-san, who takes care of the character designs for the anime, also asked me for how long the story would continue and I answered “About one year and a half”. But it seems like it will take longer than that.

Question: Can we expect any more surprises?

Kishimoto-sensei: There are still quite a few. Some characters who originally weren’t going to appear will come up again. And then, well, things are going to get exciting with Naruto, so please give me your support.

Question: Is there any material that you weren’t able to include in this year’s movie?

Kishimoto-sensei: I intended to include all of the things that were inside my head. It’s just that I also have some novel ideas. There is some material that I probably won’t be able to insert in the original work, but if I get the okay of the editorial department, secretly I’d like to include it somewhere, like in a non-serialized story. Some suspenseful developments, the details are a secret, but there are many challenges that I’d like to face.

I hear speculations that:

1. The Jashin religion have a bigger role.

2. A Hidan vs. Kurenai fight.

3. The ending arc is possible the Hinata/Naruto arc.

4. Oorochimaru may be the final villain of the series.

5. The returning characters may include Konohamaru and his friends, Ebizu, Kurenai, Iruka, etc.

Why are people still thinking Hinata and Naruto are going to get together? o_O; It should be Hinata and Neji.....

Anyways, if Oro is the final boss, it'll be a huge waste.

Incest????

Anyway, the whole Oro character is based around the idea of rebirth. If he was to be reborn again and not cause alot of drama I would be upset.

Well, they may do that to potentially have an offspring with strong eye power
