OK hands up who here thought that the talking point of the first chapter would how kittened up the Uchiha family is? I don't think anyone ever beleived that the situation would be this bad.
I think we were all expecting to rage about the content, but who would have thought that we'd be entirely focused of poor Sakura being in a worst state than we even speculated at the end, or Sasuke being even more of an absent father and Sarada potentially being Karins daughter and never seeing her father...I mean never.
I know we've all raged about Kishi for the past few months but I don't think any of us thought he'd drop so low as to do all this...this is what 15 years of the manga was for? To think this is only the start. I really didn't think my respect for the guy could drop any lower than after the interviews late last year but he's dropped well below that, He is worst than Trash. Sarada is the only charactor in the manga I feel for. Sakura made her own bed, but no child deserves this kind of father...I don't care how important your mission is, there is no excuse for not even making a day visit for a birthday. Even manga with fathers that are made out to be lousy will come to see their child sometimes, this is the first time I've read how a hild has been told her father loves them dispite never visiting them even once in over 4000 days.
You know this is how Kishi will try to spin it. He's not a bad father, he's a father who loves his daughter so much that he endures being away from her to help protect her from harm from people who might want to do her harm...I'd put money on a excuse that similar. He's probably projecting, he's probably not been able to spend as much time as he'd like with his own children and he using this manga as an excuse to make himself feel better....to think this is the same person who said he felt it was important to show bonds of family after he became a father himself and this is what he is writing. Disgusting.
