This has to be one of my favorites Moneymoto-sensei's interview. http://www.saiyanisl...ounding-editor/
Yahagi is the best and I'll have to say that he deserves all the credit. He should be co-founder of Naruto.
"it says when the series ended some readers asked was it cancelled? The editors..say it was the desire of the author. The author has wanted to stop 7 years ago but with a series this popular..the author himself has been constantly saying he wants to stop and this ending was not abrupt at all. You can..say the author finally got his wish. Unlike kodansha editors who give ideas to authors who are struggling...shueisha editors mostly, about 100%, leave it to the authors so often times the series are stretched endlessly..so why end the series now? The answer is simple.There are now other mature series like haikyuu to take its place it then goes on to say how oda-sensei has always been critical of editors and has said that they are useless"
She said there was more about Oda talking about his editors but she was like useless is the best word lol

There you have it. Now its confirmed that Kishi discarded is two most prized tropes "never to give up" and "no shortcuts in life". No wonder he looks guilt, depressed and full of regret at the Jump Festa and funny thing it was like he was pointing the finger at SP's staff when he said they (SP's staff) suggested the ending should be revolved around NH and he never planned to write NH ever. Now Kishi owes fans that he spat on a big apology after all this is over maybe 2-5 years from now or just after The Bolt movie. Everyone makes mistake and comes to regret at the last moments when its too late. He may never earn the trust of once the loyal fans of Naruto (NS and others) again, but the road to redemption always starts off with an apology first.
I wouldn't mind open ending with NS being at top (best friend food chain). I can buy that. Anyway, to me, pretty much say Kishi don't know what to do more so enter Kage Summit drama that everyone backlash at Sakura. Who thought this idea. Maybe it could have been good if you executed much better. Just like, oh I don't know, calling Obito the coolest guy ever.
Tell you the truth, even though the original ending was 7 years ago at the Pain Arc. I believe Kishi would have come back with a manga sequel. He just wanted time off to spend time with his family and go on a honeymoon with his wife.
