Why I said it is recent and real?
Kishimoto had reveal some interesting details about writing about Naruto's birth/sealing and the current war arc.

Some nibbits I got from the interview:
- Favorite characters right now: Chouji and Killer Bee. About Bee, Kishi has difficulty writing him because he raps and rhymes badly. He also revealed that his former editor wanted a pro-wrestler type character in the series, since he's a fan. Favorite Akatsuki members: Itachi (of course) and Deidara (for Edo Tensei).
- Naruto and Sasuke right now: Yin and Yang.
Hey look, an analogy.
