Well, the Boruto guidebook had sketches by Masashi Kishimoto about how he designed Boruto (a contrasting outfit to his father), Mitsuki (features to give hints about his heritage) and Sarada (a mix between her parents). We've been wondering if Kishimoto also talks about the adult designs of Naruto and his allies but found nothing about it. Does anybody know if it is available anywhere? Cos it's important for those articles since Naruto became Featured while Sasuke is close to that. Anyway, thanks for posting other interviews about the series. If this helps, I believe adult Naruto's harstyle was based over Obito's. Since Naruto found him to be a cool guy, and understood his dream to be a hokage, maybe the short hair came from his wish to be similar to the Hokage, Obito wanted to be?

Though I don't know where Sasuke's style stems from. Maybe Itachi? In the The Last guidebook, Kishimoto stated he thought about making Sasuke a guy who doesn't like knowing his identity so he often covers his face (most notably the Rinnegan) with his hair. On Naruto, Kishimoto did not say a reason for his shorter hair but he said he wanted Naruto and Sasuke to have contrasting appearances.
