-> Kishimoto loves symbolism, and Sakura is definitely intended to be the Team Neutral. However, i think he overdid it a bit, which is an idea many people share. I definitely prefer Naruto-Hinata over Naruto-Sakura.

I agree with you on all points. It seems to me that he has ended up in so many corners that most of the characters got mixed up and messy.

-> Don't worry you're not the only one. I've watched some more anime since Naruto and i can definitely tell that Naruto is on the ridiculous end of Filler.

Fillers are not so much a bad thing, as long as they don't last too long and are truly completing the storyline. Sadly, this is not what has happened to Naruto...

-> Which one, about Jiraiya or Boruto?

Both, actually. I enjoyed to read your opinions, thank you for accepting sharing them with me.

-> It seems that Kishimoto was fed up with his way of life (i've seen work schedules where he slept 4 hours a day).

Where can people see his work schedules? This is quite bad for his health, I hope he can manage more sleep in the schedules to come.

-> As to boruto, i hope that we will see a re-adjustment to a more Part-I style manga, with a better balance between the various things (e.g. ninjutsu, taijutsu and genjutsu as well as use of tools and weapons) and some more balance between characters. I think Kishimoto, in hindsight, may have bitten of more than he could chew with the Konoha 12, and discovered that it's pretty difficult to have so many characters grow together at the same time.

I, personally would hope that Naruto does not turn out the way Dragon ball has turned into. I am not bad-mouting Dragon ball, I really liked the manga itself, but then it became just over-centered around the son and we would barely get to enjoy the original main character's story anymore. I do enjoy the idea of Boruto, I simply hope that, it would also stay Naruto, as you understood, I am sure.

-> I definitely think Boruto will feature a more steady, smaller central cast, and probably will work similar to Part II where a large variety of characters came and went. (contrary to Part I where a fairly large cast had to be kept balanced).

I agree, Kishimoto probably did not see such issues coming in. And ended up stuck up into his own creation. He tried to fix and end this all too hastily. In my opinion, he would have taken more time for himself. First, to recover from hard work. Second, to rethink his ideas, get more thoughts on the whole project.

It might would have ended in a more appreciated way.

(By the way, I am sorry for my mistakes in English, I still have some troubles in it).
