SJ: Was Naruto and Hinata getting married decided early on, or did you consider Naruto ending up with Sakura?
Kishimoto Sensei: When I introduced Sakura, I only considered her as another character. I didn’t do it to bring her in as a special female character. She was at the same level as characters like Kiba or Shikamaru, so there was nothing set in my mind at all about Sakura and Naruto being a couple.
Obviously, they’d be friends and teammates. For Hinata, I decided pretty early on that they’d be together. Then I figured it’d be more interesting if Sakura would be in the middle, creating a messy love triangle. But to be honest, there wasn’t much space and time to include stuff like that.
Naruto’s a battle manga, not a romance story. You have to decide what to focus on, what you think the readers want to see. So l never thought about making them a couple, but I did throw in some nuggets to make the readers think that. It was all about Naruto and Hinata getting married from an early stage. 0180それでも動く名無し2023/09/08(金) 18:05:45.06ID:At09Bply0>>161 ムクッって何や？ 0181それでも動く名無し2023/09/08(金) 18:05:47.19ID:ZhSqJViWd>>165 ネジでええやろ 最強の白目つくれや 0182それでも動く名無し2023/09/08(金) 18:05:53.97ID:CpfxmwCwd 原作読んでたらハリーとジニー、ロンとハーマイオニーは極めて自然やわ 0183それでも動く名無し2023/09/08(金) 18:06:03.19ID:Eb8j1ykW0 アナザーストーリーでやってくれ タイトルはアナルト 0184それでも動く名無し2023/09/08(金) 18:06:03.41ID:AAtplf4PM>>161 心臓を隠すな 0185それでも動く名無し2023/09/08(金) 18:06:03.42ID:fpRRvX9Kd そういえばサラダはサクラよりカリンの子っぽい感じするな 0186それでも動く名無し2023/09/08(金) 18:06:13.61ID:vCiOnmmJd ネテロvsメルエム ガイvsマダラ
