So the reason why NH/SS were never developed enough was because Kishimoto was too busy developing NS in order to mislead everyone.
That has got to be the dumbest kittening excuse I've ever heard. Seriously. Kishimoto is a kittening moron.
I'd like to know what his definition of "red herring" is, because he really doesn't seem to understand the basic idea. Heaven help his future readers if he ever creates a mystery novel, because no one is going to be able to understand it. You still develop the story as you plan, a red herring doesn't mean you don't develop your story as you want!
He's basically admitting to not knowing what a red herring is, and therefor he spent all of his time developing NS instead of doing some NS well really developing NH.
What makes it even worse is his other line about how he "never planned on telling this story". So we know this red herring nonsense is just an excuse, yet he keeps digging himself in a hole for no apparent reason. I mean really that's the best he could come up with? It's like he's just repeating the most asinine anti-NS arguments he can find just for the hell of it. It will be interesting to see what he says next honestly. He's shot himself in the foot so many times I wonder what toe is left to knock off, he can't have that many left.
