CATDOLL: The ending of "Naruto" was already planned, and Masashi Kishimoto's dark mode was turned on

Fifteen years of youth, fifteen years of bond, fifteen years of touching, finally it is coming to an end. The finale of "Naruto" is coming in November, and the focus is on Naruto and Sasuke. What will the finale be like? Masashi Kishimoto said it has been set long ago, and fans have made many different predictions.

The perfect ending

Naruto and Sasuke fought desperately, but they were still evenly matched. Naruto began to use his best "mouth persuasion" to persuade Sasuke to change his mind, return to Konoha, and help Naruto become Hokage.

The saddest ending

During the final battle between Naruto and Sasuke, Naruto had a chance to defeat Sasuke, but he deliberately withheld the opportunity and let Sasuke kill him. Sasuke eventually came to his senses, inherited Naruto's will, and became Hokage.

The most fatal ending

At some point, Naruto sacrificed himself to save Sasuke. Sakura used her medical ninja skills to save Naruto, but sacrificed herself - Naruto saved Sasuke, Sasuke lived, Sakura saved Naruto, Naruto lived, Sakura died - Team 7 still continued Kakashi's tragic plot of the year, but in return it brought Naruto and Sasuke a true understanding and appreciation of peace.

The most disillusioning ending

The so-called ninja world is just an illusion. Naruto is just an ordinary child in real life. He was kicked out of the classroom by the teacher for being disobedient in class, and he had a dream after falling asleep while standing outside the classroom.

The most open ending

Sasuke and Naruto are about to fight, rushing towards each other, and the show ends. Waiting for the third part!

Naruto Behind the Scenes Q&A

Masashi Kishimoto: The first thing I’ll do after finishing “Naruto” is to have a honeymoon!

What does a cartoonist think when he draws a comic for 15 years? What does he think of the characters he draws? Will he have new comic assignments for them in the future? After the comic is finished, what plans does he have for his life? The following are some excerpts from interviews with Japanese magazines at different times.

Q: What does it feel like to create a comic that is world-renowned?

A: Well, to be honest, I don’t feel how popular it is in the world. Because I have a series of work to do, I don’t go out much and don’t pay attention to it. I feel that these have nothing to do with me.

Q: If you could go back to the time when you first created your work, what advice and suggestions would you give yourself?

A: It's probably something like, "Hey, get those future ideas out of the way, or you're going to be in trouble in the future." (Laughs)

Q: What are the most important qualities and abilities to be a cartoonist?

A: I would say courage. The most important thing to be a manga artist is perseverance. There are many people in Japan who want to be manga artists, but only those who have the courage and never give up can do it. Of course, talent is also important, but I think courage is the most important.

Q: Ten years after creating, how do you keep your passion going?

A: Drawing comics suits me very well. I have my characters. My living condition depends on comics because it is the only thing I can do. I am afraid of losing it, and it is accompanied by courage and perseverance, which makes me never give up. Maybe it is my fear that keeps me moving forward. I don't want to change.

Q: Are any of the characters in your work inspired by friends or family members?

A: Let me think... Naruto's mom, Kushina. A little based on my wife, they are a bit similar, a bit scary, hahaha...

Q: Will we be able to see Kakashi's true face beneath the mask?

A: I want to reveal this secret. I'm just not sure how. It could be in the comics, or in a future movie, but I haven't decided on a specific plan yet.

Q: What do you think of Sasuke, is he a good guy or a bad guy?

A: Sasuke is generally a very simple person. He doesn't think about whether what he does is right or not. He just does what he wants to do, which can easily cause trouble for others. He is very self-centered and only cares about himself. Some people may think that what Sasuke did was right, such as avenging his parents or trying to understand his brother's thoughts. But his pursuit can easily cause trouble for others, which is not good in this regard. So it is difficult to say whether it is a good or bad thing for a person to be too self-centered in achieving his goals. I would say that Sasuke is neither good nor bad, he is just very simple.

Q: Which character’s growth gave you the biggest surprise?

A: Naruto, even if Naruto is the protagonist, I still have to say it is Naruto. Naruto grew up at the beginning, but now he has gained everyone's recognition, and this recognition makes him grow faster.

Q: What's the first thing you want to do after finishing Naruto?

A: There is one thing I will definitely do, and it is already ten years late. I will go on a honeymoon. I have never had a honeymoon before, and I want to go on a honeymoon, hahahaha.
