Day 5–You’re Dumb (25 Days of Ficmas)

Summary: Reader is pregnant and Shawn is dumb

Warnings: Swear Words

Everyone could agree that there was not a better couple than Shawn and Y/N. Y/N made fun of Shawn’s klutziness while Shawn made fun of Y/N’s inability to cook. So, when Shawn proposed to Y/N, there was no surprise.

Y/N had always wanted to be a December bride. They had gotten engaged in August and arranged their wedding to be set on December second. It was a beautiful snowy day and Y/N looked dropped dead gorgeous. Shawn had sworn to Y/N that he wouldn’t cry when she walked down the aisle, but as soon as he heard ‘Can’t Help Falling in Love with You,’ start to play on the piano, tears fell down his face.

And when Y/N’s dad placed her hand in his he brought it up to his lips and kissed it. “I love you so much baby. I can’t wait to marry you.”

“Then stop talking and let’s get a move on,” she said as she choked back a sob as well.

When they both had said ‘I do,’ they ran out of the chapel and into a horse drawn sleigh. Y/N had always said she wanted the perfect Hallmark ending and Shawn was determined to give it to her.

After their honeymoon, they settled down in Shawn’s condo in Toronto and he decided to take a six month break from making music. Y/N was an up-and-coming author and Shawn wanted to spend as much time with her as he could.

But after only three months of marriage, Y/N had started to notice that she was getting morning sickness. After taking a pregnancy test, she found out they were pregnant. Shawn and Y/N couldn’t have been more excited.

Eventually Shawn had to go back to work, but he would do his best to wrap things up at the studio as fast as he could. He tried to get Y/N her dinner at a decent time. Y/N was fine with making herself ramen noodles or macaroni since she was a terrible cook, but Shawn insisted on making her dinner every night.

Their one-year anniversary was approaching, and they were trying to get their house decorated before Y/N had the baby which was due on the fourth of December. So, Y/N and Shawn had spent the weeks after Halloween leading up to December prepping for a baby and for Christmas.

One of their last items on their list was to get a tree. They decided they were going to go to a tree farm and cut their own one down. They wanted to start their own Christmas traditions. Since it was the first day of December, they thought it was very fitting to go pick a tree.

“You ready to go babe?” He smiled as his very pregnant wife came waddling down the hallway wearing one of his hoodies that used to drown her, but now fit perfectly over her large bump.

“Yep. Let me just put on my shoes.”

“Here, I got it honey. Don’t you dare move a muscle.” He bent down on the ground and picked up one Ugg, lifting her foot into the boot. He repeated the process with the other foot and kissed both her kneecaps gently.

“Thanks Hubbie.” Shawn would always get so flustered when she called him that name, but he couldn’t deny that he loved it.

He helped her into her seat in the car and held her hand the whole ride to the tree farm. He kept stealing glances at her and would kiss her cheek at every red light.

Shawn had been extra lovey dovey since he found out she was pregnant. It seemed that the two hadn’t left their honeymoon phase and probably would never leave it. They were two deeply in love with each other

Y/N hissed as a sharp pain went into her abdominal. Shawn immediately looked over at his wife while she tried to push his chin back towards the windshield, so his eyes were on the road. “I’m fine, it’s just a contraction. It’ll pass in a few seconds.” But it didn’t feel like one of her regular contractions, it felt worse.

“Are you sure? With it being so close to your due date I’m a little nervous about it.” While Shawn had a point, Y/N really wanted to have her Christmas decorating done by the time the baby came. All they had left to do was the tree. She was not going to let this contraction stop that.

“Yea, promise.” She breathed out a sigh of relief when she felt the contraction was over just as Shawn pulled into the parking lot of the tree farm. He rushed over to her side of the door to help her down from his Jeep and placed his arm around her waist to stabilize her. “Thank you honey.” She laid her head on his shoulder and wrapped her arm around his waist, interlocking the two together so they walked in sync.

They walked around for a little bit looking for a tree. They seemed to have varying ideas on what they wanted. Shawn wanted a tall and wide tree while Y/N was okay with a smaller one.

“Babe, we have to get it on to your car and through our front door. I’m not sure it could fit if it was that wide,” she would laugh at him.

“But Y/N, look at it. It’s so green and perfect. C’mon, please.”

“Shawn, I’m not even sure that would fit in our house. I don’t even know if the ceiling is that tall. Plus, do you really want your pregnant wife trying to haul that thing into the house.”

“Well, no, but what if I promised to do it all by myself.”

Y/N raised her eyebrows at him. “If you can cut it down and tie it to the car without assistance, we can get it. But I’m still not too certain about if it’s going to fit.”

“Oh, it’ll fit babe.” He kissed the top of her head as he walked over to an attendant to get a saw and some rope. He came back with a smile on his face and knelt to cut the tree.

Y/N winced as she felt another contraction coming on. It was unusual for them to come this closely together. Her gut told her that she was about to go into labor, but she pushed it aside. Just a few more hours baby. Let me and dad get this tree set up. Then you can come. She thought.

When they finally got home, Y/N stood inside their doorway and tried to guide Shawn the best she could on how to get the tree through the door. Once he finally got it into the living room and stood it up, the top of the tree was bent over because it was too tall. Y/N sent Shawn a glare.

“See? I told you,” She laughed at him and then smiled.

“Hey, you were right. But I still think it’s the perfect tree. It’s unique and special. Plus, how many people can say they have a tree that looks like this?”

She shook her head at him. “You are really, really stupid. Like you’re so dumb.”

He scoffed. “Hey, how dare you insult the person that got you this tree and set it up all by himself.”

“Umm hello. What about the person who is carrying your child.”

“Fine. You won,” He walked over to her and pulled her into his arms, laying his head in the crook of his neck.

She felt a sharp stab and cried out pulling away from Shawn as water splashed on the floor and she felt like she peed her pants. She started to lose her stability, but Shawn caught herand picked her up, laying her down on the couch.

“Oh my gosh! Your water just broke. Ok, breathe Shawn.” He talked to himself and ran to their bedroom as Y/N lay on the couch trying to control her breathing. She was scared as hell to have this baby, but she knew it would be fine with Shawn by her side. He came back into the room with a change of clothes for her and their hospital bags in tow. “Here, let me you get you out of these wet clothes.”

He helped her sit up and take his hoodie off, trading it for one of his jumpers. He pulled off her leggings, replaced her underwear with his boxers (she liked men’s underwear better anyways), and helped her push her legs through a pair of one of his grey sweatpants.

He kissed her sweaty forehead and brushed the hair out her face, pulling it into a bun on the top of her head. “I’m going to clean this water off the floor and call your and my parents. You just lay there and look pretty, alright,” he sent her a soft smile, trying to calm her nerves and his own at the same time.

He went to the linen closet and pulled out an older towel dialing your mom. Your parents lived in California and said they were going to take the soonest available flight that they could. They didn’t know if they would make it on time, but they were going to try.

Shawn’s fingers shook as he cleaned the water from the floor and called his mom. “Hey mom. Y/N’s water just broke. We’re headed to the hospital if you guys want to meet us there…Yea, she’s been having contractions all day…I’m not sure how dilated she is mom, we’re not at the doctor’s yet…ok…will do…love you mom.” He hung up the phone, threw the towel in the laundry and loaded the car with all the things they would need for the hospital.

“Shall we go,” he questioned her. She nodded her head and softly smiled at him. She tried to get up, but Shawn stopped her. “Absolutely not. You are in labor. Let me carry you to the car.”He placed his hand under her knees, and she wrapped her arm around his neck as he carried her to the passenger side of his Range Rover.

*****

A few hours later, Y/N was laying on a bed in the delivery room, doctors hovering around her. She was covered in sweat and tears and was grasping Shawn’s hand so hard he thought she was going to break it. “Ice chip, Shawn! Ice chip!”

He reached inside of the cup and placed an ice chip in her mouth. “Holy shit! This hurts so bad!”

“You’re almost there Mrs. Mendes. Just a few more pushes and then the head will be out.”

“You’re doing so well baby. I love you. Think of that beautiful baby boy that is going to come out of you. I hope he has your eyes,” he whispered in her ear while popping another ice chip into her mouth.

“Deep breaths Mrs. Mendes. That’s it. Come on. I can see the head. One big push right here and the baby should pop right out.”

She squeezed Shawn’s hand and cried out. But her cry was overpowered by the crying of their newborn baby. “You did it honey. I’m so proud of you.”

“Mr. Mendes, would you like to cut the umbilical cord?”

Shawn looked at his wife to see if it was okay for him to leave her side for a moment and she nodded. Her face was red with the effort it took her, but Shawn thought she looked so beautiful. Shawn cut the cord and the nurses wrapped the baby boy up in a blanket. He walked over to Y/N cradling his baby in his arms and gently laying him down on her chest.

The crying came to a small little whimper as Y/N held her baby. She kissed its head before handing it to the nurse who was waiting to start its first bath and immunizations. “You’ll see him soon mom and dad,” the nurse said taking their baby boy to the nursery.

“You did so well baby. He’s so beautiful. And he does have your eyes.” He kissed his wife’s forehead and wiped her hair from her face.

“We’re going to wheel your wife into a patient room where the rest of your family can visit you guys. We’ll give you a briefing on how to breastfeed the baby and how to hold it. Can we have you just walk alongside us to make it easier to maneuver her around?”

Shawn nodded and followed them as they wheeled her into another room. Soon after, Shawn’s parents and Aaliyah entered the room quietly. Y/N was lying in a bed and Shawn was sitting next to her holding her hand in both of his. He was whispering sweet nothings to her as softly smiled at him. They both turned to look at their visitors.

“How do you feel?” Karen asked.

“Like crap.” They both chuckled. “How did you have both Shawn and Aaliyah. That was hell just having one.”

Karen smiled at her. “I thought I was going to stop at Shawn, but you forget how painful it really is. Don’t worry, once your baby gets a little older, you’ll both be hit by baby fever again.”

“Have you guys gone and seen him in the nursery yet? Is he doing well?” Y/N questioned her in-laws.

“He looks like a healthy beautiful baby. What are you guys planning on naming him,” Aaliyah asked as she walked closer to Y/N.

“We’ve thought of a few names. But I think we’re going to name him Peter, Pete for short. After Shawn’s middle name. Peter Shawn Mendes has a ring to it I think,” Y/N replied smiling at her husband. Karen and Manny smiled at the two,honored that they were keeping the family names.

A nurse entered the room a few minutes later, bringing their baby in with her. “We’re going to teach her how to breastfeed. If you guys could please leave the room to give her some privacy,” the nurse said to Shawn’s family. She placed Peter in Y/N’s arms and helped her pull down the top of her hospital gown.

“Thanks for listening to me Pete. That’s something your daddy struggles with.”

Shawn furrowed his eyebrows at her. “He literally just got born. How is he a better listener than me?”

Y/N smirked at him. “When you were cutting the tree, I knew I was probably going to have Petey in the next day or so. I just kept thinking that we needed to set up the tree first. And literally a few minutes after it was all done, my water broke. Looks like you need to teach your dad some lessons.” She laughed and Shawn rolled his eyes at her as he stroked Peter’s tiny foot with his thumb.

A/N: Thanks for reading! To be added to my taglist, personal message me

For manga fans, Masashi Kishimoto and Naruto needs no introduction. It is simply one of the most popular manga series ever created, not just in Japan, but throughout the world.

Masashi Kishimoto first drew Naruto as a one-shot manga in 1997, then it was added as a weekly series to Weekly Shonen Jump in 1999. Kishimoto's story of a plucky young ninja orphan who has the power of a nine-tailed fox god locked in his body and his path from being a brat to a powerful ninja leader. It is an epic tale that spans over 72 volumes and 700 chapters, has been adapted as an anime TV series and movies, video games, and novels, and is one of the best-selling books (not just comics or manga) ever.

For Masashi Kishimoto's first visit to North America, much less New York City for New York Comic-Con, Viz Media arranged several special opportunities for fans to meet and listen to the creator of Naruto speak about his comics, his creations, and his future plans. ANN's coverage is in 2 parts:

On Wednesday night, before the start of New York Comic-Con, Kishimoto was a special guest at the Apple Store in downtown NYC. This was a ticketed, intimate event that less than 100 people were able to attend and see in person. The audio of the event will be available as a podcast from Apple's iTunes Apple Store podcasts page.

The moderator for this event was Christopher Butcher, the Director of the Toronto Comic Arts Festival (TCAF). He was joined on stage by Jo Otsuki, the editor for Naruto from Weekly Shonen Jump magazine, and Mari Morimoto, the translator for this event, and also the translator for Viz Media's English editions of the Naruto manga.

While no photos were allowed for these events, Kishimoto is a slim man who just recently turned 40. He initially seems a bit quiet, but is friendly and easy-going. He cracked a few jokes with fans, and seems to take his great fame and success in stride.

Butcher began by asked Kishimoto whether he was aware of the impact that Naruto has had upon fans worldwide, and his role as an "ambassador of Japan" to North America. Kishimoto laughed, saying that he thought it was kind of amazing that fans in North America were interested in Japanese manga and culture, and that he thought most people would be more familiar with "Naruto" (spiral fishcake) as an ingredient in ramen rather than Naruto the boy ninja.

Kishimoto's humble perspective perhaps comes from his early efforts to create a manga for Jump. He explained that he had tried several times to create a hit manga, exploring everything from sci-fi to action to sports manga. After many misses, Kishimoto said his editor encouraged him to give it one more try. That last try was the one-shot manga that eventually became the weekly series Naruto that we know and love today.

Butcher also marveled at Kishimoto's cinematic style of drawing. Kishimoto explained that his style was influenced by manga masters, including Akira Toriyama (Dragon Ball), Katsuhiro Otomo (Akira) and Hiroaki Samura (Blade of the Immortal). Kishimoto expressed admiration for Star Wars, and American comics movies like Spider-Man, Iron Man, and Batman.

He also talked about his friendly rivalry with Eiichiro Oda, the creator of One Piece.

"One Piece debuted about a year earlier than Naruto did, even though we're the same age. He beat me to it. I was very envious in the beginning and yet, at the same time, I wanted to not only be like him, but I wanted to surpass him. In some ways I feel like the reason Naruto was able to be published and was able to succeed was because of One Piece." He continued, "Perhaps we both kind of supported and bolstered each other over the years and lead to both of our successes because we had that rivalry. When one of us did something, the other one had to out do the other, and that kept both series going."

Kishimoto then described his creative process, and revealed that the entire process, from sketches and rough storyboards to finished artwork is all done by hand, not digital processes.

"I'm actually quite analog. I don't draw manga digital yet at all. We do get these sticker sheets with different tone and shades. It's not just me doing it; my assistants and I will get together and we have fun putting on the tones manually."

ut Kishimoto had this bit of advice for up and coming comics creators:

"I don't recommend the manual method anymore. It's quite costly and it's quite a lot of work and takes a lot of time. I definitely recommend, for those of you who are just getting started or are not yet started, to go digital."

However, he also warned of the limits of digital tools for comics creation.

"There's no software out there, no digital technology is going to help you make a better story," he said.

Bakuman., the manga about making manga by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata was also mentioned in conversation. When asked if Bakuman. was an accurate representation of what it's like to be a Shonen Jump manga creator, Kishimoto replied, 'I definitely had the experience of having an editor yell at me, about deadlines especially. I guess about 99% of it might be true." So what's the 1% that's not true? "I really don't think it's feasible for high school students to really make it professionally and still go to school at the same time! But certainly I had to work even while I was sick."

So what is Kishimoto doing during his well-deserved break from the weekly manga-making grind? For one thing, he's minding his health, by taking up jogging and weight training. He's also been spending time reconnecting with his family. He mentioned that the Boruto movie is inspired in part by his relationship with his sons. Kishimoto confirmed that his next manga project will probably be a sci-fi story, but opted to not share more details because he didn't want anyone else to take his idea and run with it before him.

After a lively Q and A with audience members, the evening came to an end. Kishimoto was whisked away. The following exclusive interview happened the day after the first event at the Apple Store in SoHo, but before his appearance before a packed house of over 2,000 fans at New York Comic-Con.

With the help of translator Mari Morimoto (who also translated the Viz Media edition of Naruto), and Jo Otsuki, Kishimoto's editor from Weekly Shonen Jump, we talked about Kishimoto's reactions to his first encounters with his overseas fans, what does and doesn't exist in Naruto's world, how Boruto was influenced by his relationship with his sons, and he offers a few hints at his next series in the works.

I know this is your first trip to an overseas comics event -- How did it feel to get a taste of your overseas fans' enthusiasm for your work at the Apple Store yesterday, and so far today at New York Comic-Con? Masashi Kishimoto: It was a very mystical experience, a very interesting experience!

I know you must know that Naruto is very popular all over the world – but as I listened to you talk at the Apple Store last night, I got the sense that this didn't really feel real to you. What do you think now that you've met some of your fans? Of course, I have been told that it's popular overseas, but it really hasn't felt real to me until now. Even now, it's still hasn't quite hit me yet. I feel like even the people telling me that there's this many people wanting to see me, I feel like it might've been a setup?

(laughs) What do you mean by that? Kind of like when there's a studio audience when you're filming a sitcom?

You mean like a fake audience? A planted audience, yes.

Oh my goodness! (laughs) When I told people that I would be doing this interview, I got so many comments like, "I'm so jealous that you get to even be in the same atmosphere as Kishimoto-sensei!" I really don't feel like it's sunk in yet, even now.

Wow. Well, you'll definitely get a taste of it today at your afternoon event today at NYCC! So I wanted to follow up with some of the things you said about your artistic influences from your chat at the Apple Store last night. You especially mentioned Dragon Ball by Akira Toriyama, Akira by Katsuhiro Otomo, and Blade of the Immortal by Hiroaki Samura. What do you take from their work? What do you love about their work?

I would say I've probably picked up a little bit from each of them, and perhaps a little bit different thing from each of them. For example, with Dragon Ball, I was reading that when I was in grade school. What Dragon Ball taught me is what was fun about manga, what makes a fun story in manga. In fact, I was reading it as it was coming out in weekly installments in Weekly Shonen Jump, so it really taught me what entertainment is and how to keep an audience captivated—and of course the art influenced me as well.

What did you learn from reading Hiroaki Samura-sensei's work? I think Samura-sensei really taught me about the craft of manga making, in terms of what's cool. Especially in terms of splash scenes, he really taught me the importance of splash scenes. In his splash page scenes, a lot of times he doesn't focus on the faces of the characters – he usually focuses on their hands. He taught me how one can focus on the hands and how important expressions using just hands can be.

Oh, that's fascinating. This also brings up an interesting question about the world of Naruto -- Blade of the Immortal is a very traditional Japanese samurai story, while your ninja world is very fantastical. How did you come up with that? So of course, a realistic ninja is someone who wears all black with only the eyes visible, kind of lurks in the shadows, and they are assassins. That's cool in its own way, but it's not necessarily appropriate or really makes up for a shonen manga series. That kind of story, it would be a different genre. So I was thinking about what would be appropriate for not only a shonen manga series, but a Jump shonen manga series. I figured I wanted to take a polar opposite approach, and portray this character who wears orange.

(laughs) Yeah! I was gonna say that Naruto's bright orange outfit isn't very stealthy for a ninja assassin! It's an orange jumpsuit, and Naruto goes 'Hey, I'm here!' Which is totally opposite of how a ninja should behave! It's a paradox. But I figured, 'Why not make this another type of real ninja?' Of course, I had some hardcore ninja fans who were like, 'Dude, get lost.' (laughs) They were really upset because this is not how ninjas are supposed to be!

Another thing that's interesting about Naruto's world is that there's technology, like ways to view videos, communicate over long distances – it's definitely not something that exists in traditional samurai-era Japan, but it's not a typical 'modern' Japan either. What definitely does NOT exist in Naruto's world? It would actually take too long to really go nitty-gritty into details, but for example: one of the things I focused on was that anything that's NOT possible to recreate, or to do, using ninjustu, ninja skills, I would not develop for Naruto's world. So no cars. Because they have shuriken, the throwing stars, there's no guns either. So there were certain things I had clearly in my head that I didn't want to have available in their worldview.

Mari Morimoto (translator): So I brought up the fact that in the Seventh Hokage and the Scarlet Spring sequel story, there's that one line when Naruto complains about how Sasuke's so analog, and Shikamaru's says, "Oh, but he goes to areas where you can't charge anything."I asked Kishimoto-sensei about that and he said, 'Well, you know, I wanted to show that time had passed. So some things may have developed in the intervening time between the last chapter of Naruto and fifteen years later when the Seventh Hokage story happens. Also, there's the fact that the story is set during a time of peace, so there's now more money available, because the funds that were being pushed into the war can now be used for things like developing technology.

That would be interesting to read! With Naruto, you've created a very rich universe with many characters, and you just did a Seventh Hokage and the Scarlet Spring side story, the Boruto movie, which you wrote the screenplay for, and there's also the Kakashi Hiden side-story novel that Viz Media is also publishing. That's a lot to enjoy, but are these sequel stories the last of your Naruto stories, or do you think there's more stories left to tell? Or after 15 years, are you just DONE with Naruto? (laughs)

There are infinite possibilities right now. If I decide that I want to do more Naruto stories, perhaps I will, perhaps I won't. That said, there is nothing firmly in the works at this time. Just that there is always the possibility…

I see! So I guess Naruto fans can keep their hopes alive to see more someday, maybe. As I mentioned, Naruto has many, many wonderful characters. But were there characters in Naruto that surprised you that were very popular with fans? Rock Lee.

Ah, right! So did you decide to include Rock Lee in the story more because he became so popular? No necessarily. It's just what I heard. It kind of surprised me how popular he was, but it didn't necessarily lead to more plotlines with him in it, or anything like that. That's not to say that I didn't consider writing him in more or creating more stories about him, but the timing was never right, so I never had the opportunity.

Speaking of new characters, I also noticed as the story evolved, there were more multi-cultural characters introduced to the story, like Killer Bee. Can you talk a little bit about why you decided to do that? When I started expanding on the world, especially through introducing other ninja villages, the very nature of doing that kind of forced me to widen the perspective. I wouldn't say it was necessarily a deliberate decision, but I was definitely conscious of the fact that if I wanted to have my Naruto world reflect actual society more, then it might be easier for fans to accept, to see, other cultures or races as well. So while it wasn't necessarily an outright deliberate decision, I think I was conscious of the fact that I wanted Naruto's world to reflect, at least a little bit, the world at large.

As these characters appeared in Naruto, I noticed that lot of black and Latino cosplayers were very excited to see these characters, to have characters that they could dress up as that they could relate to.

(big smile) That makes me happy to hear that as well!

Did you expect such a divided reaction (in the U.S. at least) when you revealed whom Naruto marries in the future?

I actually didn't realize I caused such controversy.

Really? You had no idea?

Mari Morimoto: So the fans wanted Naruto to get together with Sakura?

Well, there's definitely camps of fans who felt that way, and there were also those that were very happy he ended up with Hinata. But there were quite passionate opinions on both sides! I almost caused a rift in my own household too, because my wife was very upset also that Naruto didn't get together with Sakura. In fact, she complained quite vehemently to me!

Jo Otsuki: Quite few of the female staff at Studio Pierrot that produces the anime, apparently were also upset.

Whoah. So how did you handle that, especially with your wife? I tried to defuse the situation by assuring my wife that SHE was actually the model for Hinata. (laughs)

As you were saying that, I thought, I wonder if your family life was more like Hinata and Naruto's family or Sasuke and Sakura's? (everyone laughs)

Masashi Kishiimoto: Well… it might not actually be like either. My wife is quite strong as well, she's a strong character.

Oh, so kind of like Sakura! So I think my wife might secretly realize that Hinata wasn't really the model for her… (laughs)

Did you decide this early on, that Hinata and Naruto would get together in the end, or when…?

From the middle, actually.

Aw, that's nice. So you obviously care a lot about these characters and this story. It took up over 15 years of your life! Was it difficult to decide to end Naruto? It was kind of decided—not necessarily early on, but I knew that it was going to be concluded soon. So it's not like that decision was unexpected. However, it took a while to smooth out the story to let it conclude the way that I want it to.

It was a slightly bumpy road, mainly because I wanted one of the themes of the end to be Naruto forgiving Sasuke. I wanted to make sure the intervening story lead naturally to that in a realistic way to make it plausible. Because if one minute they're fighting and then 'Oh, I forgive you!' would be weird. So definitely there were little bumps on the way to getting there.

Deb Aoki: Can you share an example of a bump that you ran into along the way toward the ending?

It would be the Pain Arc. It was difficult, because it was the very first time Naruto truly forgives his enemy. I didn't want the conclusion of their confrontation to be in battle, but through talking, so to bring that all about was quite difficult.

So now that Naruto has ended, you've hinted in other interviews that you're considering creating a sci-fi series next. You've mentioned that you like Star Wars, but are there other sci-fi series that you like? It's hard for me to narrow it down to one or two. I actually like quite a bit of sci-fi movies, for example, Elysium and Chappie, two films directed by South African Neill Blomkamp.

Oh, what do you like about these movies? Just the sense of this director, Blomkamp's cinematic view. I think what I like about it is there's still elements of real society within the movie and it's kind of merged with the fantastic elements -- it's really meshed. It picks up on current issues we're facing and expands further on it.

You definitely deserve some time off after so many years of drawing a weekly manga series, but when can we expect to see your next manga series debut? Perhaps after my children finally acknowledge what I'm doing and acknowledge me… acknowledge the work I've done!

What? Really? They don't now?

Naruto took up so much of my time that I didn't really get to spend quality time with my kids. It's only recently that they really accepted my presence. So I think I might have to wait until my children give me permission to work on my next series.

Wow. Well, that's very important too, so I totally understand. I know that fans who'll get to see you at your New York appearances are very fortunate to have this chance to be here for your first overseas trip to a comics event. That said, you have so many fans around the world who are hoping to meet you some day, see you visit their cities or countries. Because these fans would have loved to have met you but didn't have a chance to be here this weekend, do you have any messages for them?

First and foremost, I wanted to thank all my fans out there for reading Naruto and for loving Naruto so much. It really is gratifying for me too. But despite how I answered the last one, I wanted to say it might not be so long until my next series to appear as my answer implied! After I spend enough time with my kids, they might be like typical kids and say stuff like, 'Okay Dad, you can go away now.' (laughs) So you might see my next series in the not-too-distant future!

Thank you – and I hope we will see you again soon at another event in the near future!

is true?

To start off, for god sakes don't post the whole thing, take an extract or just give me the link, but this is way to long for an ask. I don't even know which bit you are on about.

Yes it is true, but lacks some details that Kishimoto in later interviews. For example Kishimoto definitely always planned NaruHina from the start, but he intentionally made NaruSaku a red herring.

Kishimoto's response

Now if you consider the timeframe of when Kishimoto did the red herrings you would realise that mainly happen during and around the Tenchi Bridge Reconnaissance Mission which covers chapters 282 to 310 of the manga which is roughly the half way point of the whole series and the half way point of the plot since it happens in the second arc of part 2.

As you can tell after that arc there isn't anymore serious NaruSaku red herrings. Kishimoto did them planning to do a love tringle, though he did briefly consider NaruSaku you can tell his end game was always NaruHina from start. Hence why he said the middle in that interview cause it was period where he did consider other options even though he originally already planned NaruHina, hence he made the final say to stick to that original decision at that point of the manga.

Even the bits about there being parallels between Kushina and Sakura while a red herring weren't meant to be taken seriously as in the Pain arc when Hinata confesses was when NaruHina got truly cemented and following that was the final nail in the coffin for NaruSaku with Sakura's fake confession being rejected.

Further proof of this is that in the same interview Kishimoto brings up that Hinata always supported and acknowledged Naruto. From the start it was obvious Hinata liked Naruto for who he really is Kishimoto made her that exact way. It is impossible for him to have made Hinata like that unless he originally intended for her to be the love interest.

Naruto is a long manga series and like with all long series the author will at times have to or need to consider making changes from their original plan. So yes while the interview is true it isn't the whole truth as in later interviews Kishimoto expands on the answer and we can tell by the context which time frame he is on about, Kishimoto did decide on NaruHina early on, he did however also consider changing that in the middle which led to him deciding to commit with his original plan for NaruHina.
