Still, the original point was that Kaguya was Kishimoto's answer to the problem of killing Madara, and this interview backs up that he was still thinking of how to actually kill madara since before he became TTJ. So the idea, even though i doubt it was the sole reason, still stands.

But still my evidence proves that Kishimoto didnt say it after the manga ended

a lot of people confusing this.

the interview happened at december 2013 Naruto manga was at that time on 660 Manga Chapter Kaguya was foreshadow at manga chapter 646 Madara got defeated at manga chapter 678
