" Should I consider the mutual development between Naruto and Sakura OR should I reward Hinata's lifelong wish? " -- Kishimoto was in a serious dilemma.
He closed his eyes for a moment to think about this matter.
Inner Kishimoto- " Go where the $$$$ takes you dobe ".
Kishimoto- " Yes, I guess. But I still am a little unsure...my story was written for...Naruto and Sakura seem more... "
Inner Kishimoto- " A strong willed woman who won't take your kitten OR a doormat who will worship you. I cannot believe you needed me for this. Its such an easy decision ! "
Kishimoto- * grins * " No more doubts ! "
Later, Kishimoto in public interview- " This was how I wanted to end my story all along, really ! "
Inner Kishimoto- " HAHAHAHAHAAA, Man I'm good at retconning! "
Kishimoto- " Hinata's devotion won over Naruto in the end. And Sakura only ever loved Sasuke. So..."
Inner Kishimoto- " When will this interview end? I want to go to the bank and count my $$$$ "
