[@Weird Tales]Oh yeah, that's a 100% bullshit. It's been awhile since I last watched the original show, so I forgot about that.

Kishimoto had some really great character ideas, but he didn't let them flourish and instead focused on Naruto and Sasuke more, which to me was a mistake. Naruto to me was always better when the focus was on the world and all of the mysterious techniques and ninjas within it.
