<p>He is not yes... but he is responsible for the manga and he could potentially say "hey give her this" and they'll do it. so he does have some power over the anime believe it or not.

<p>That's not how Pierrot or any other anime studio work. First of all, Kishi is done with <i>Naruto</i>, and only gives a damn for his own manga (sort of). Secondly, staff changes frequently in for the anime workline. Only the director and story artists holds firm over the fillers now.
