Hidden Leaf Q & A 58 Questions asked to Masashi Kishimoto!
で、死んでないとは断定してないけど、最後まで見てもらわないとわからない的な会話からカカシは死んでない かな、と。
カカシは生きてるみたいな言い回しだな岸本さん
ついでにジライヤも死んでなさげに感じた。ただペインになってんだろうな。
最近、よく死んでます的な会話から、いや最後までみてもらわないとわからないんでとか言ってた 。
あ、たしかに。ジライヤはけじめついたみたいなこと言ってましたね。
一部のナルト描けなくなってる発言は悲しかった
絵として描けないってことみたいでした
サスケは特になかったかな。今年は10周年で話が盛り上がっていきますって言ってました。
また明日もレポします。ちなみにキミマロのときのとんでもない影分身のシーンが苦労したからって理由でお気 に入りらしいです。なんか肩の力抜けすぎ岸本さんて感じだなあ。でもそこが岸本さんのいいところなんだよな 。素朴だし。
人は昨年に比べて多かったですね。。さっきのキミマロのシーンの話で言うと、逆にアスマの死でのシカマルの 涙、ガアラ蘇生シーンはあまり思い入れはないとか。涙した俺負け組。。ジライヤは声優になんで死なせたのっ て責められ若干後悔している模様。
既出覚悟で書いてみる
・カカシの死は明言せず。どうなるかわからない。だから最後まで読んでほしい
・自来也は自分の中でケジメをつけてる。それが42巻の表紙。
お亡くなりとは言ったが、曖昧に言葉を濁す。
・イタチも自来也同様お亡くなりになっている。
・「何で自来也殺しちゃったんだろう(苦笑)ね、いいキャラだったのに(苦笑)」
・「最近確かにキャラ殺しすぎですよね(笑)」
・キッシー的に頑張った回はナルトvs君麻呂。
理由は影分身を書くのが大変だったから。
でも票（アンケ？）は良くなかったらしい。
・色んな蛙を描くのが好き。一部のナルトはもう描けない。蛇はウロコが面倒臭い。
・10周年ということで、集英社を始め、色んな企画が予定されている。
キッシーもこれまで以上にやる気を出して描くので面白くなるはず。
・「長く続ける気はないんです(笑)
まぁ毎年言っていますが、佳境なので飛ばしていきたいと思ってます。
最後までお付き合い下さい」
といった感じ。

From the conversation, could not conclude whether (Kakashi) is still alive and (the reader) has to read to the end to find out if Kakashi is dead or alive.
Kishimoto san makes it sound like Kakashi is still alive.
He also expressed his sympathy over Jiraiya's death. But he (Jiraiya) probably might turn into Pain.
The conversation moved from the recent mounting character deaths to "you can't tell until you read to the end".
Well, that's true. He made it clear for Jiraiya's case.
I'm sad about the part which he said he couldn't draw one part of the Naruto manga.
I wanted to see the pictures of those stuff he couldn't draw.
Nothing particular about Sasuke. There were loads of topics about the 10th anniversary for this year.
I'll give more reports tomorrow. Also, I like the comment made about the scene showing the incredible Kage Bunshin technique against Kimimaro, being a pain to draw. That sounds like Kishimoto san had strained his back too much. But that's just the thing that makes Kishimoto san great. (Reflects also) his humility/simplicity.
The crowd is much bigger compared to the previous year.... Mention given on the Kimimaro scene as said earlier, but on the other hand, nothing on Shikamaru's tears when Asuma died nor the scene of Gaara's revival. I'm a crying loser... The voice actor/s asked why Jiraiya was killed off and there was a small sign of regret shown on (Kishi's) face.
I'll write down what I can remember.
- Kakashi's death is not being addressed clearly. What will happen is not known. Hence it's better to read till the end.
- Jiraiya had drawn the conclusion for himself. This can be seen in Vol 42's front cover. Though it's called "death", it was mentioned in a less direct manner.
- "Why was Jiraiya killed?" <bitter smile>, "He was such a good character." <bitter smile>
- "You've been killing too many characters lately." <laughs>
- The time when Kishimoto drew in the most diligent Kishimoto-style was during Naruto vs Kimimaro. The reason being, the Kagebunshin scene was a huge task to draw. However, (that scene) didn't seem quite well-received according to the popularity voting results.
- He likes to draw all kinds of frogs. He won't be drawing one part of Naruto. Snake scales is troublesome (to draw).
- Shueisha and various companies have plans for the 10th Anniversary. Kishimoto is very inspired thus to draw better so it can be expected that the manga will get more interesting
- "I've no intention to continue this (series) over a long period of time" <laughs> Well, though this is said every year, right now is the best part of the story which I want to bring forth. Do stay tune with the series till the end."
Something like that.
Self-introduction
- Revealing the best 10 scenes for Naruto's 10th Anniversary Commemoration
- Quizzing Kishi on the best scenes chosen by 4 of the voice actors
- Showing the raw postrecording of the 3 famous scenes (Pain vs Jiraiya, Itachi vs Sasuke, Naruto vs Sasuke)
- Q & A session with Kishimoto
- Official revealing of the cover of the 5th Uzumaki Daiken (Kumanri: this is like a compilation of the manga volumes into 1 big book)
- Some promotional activities
- Concluding business
Something like that
That's the scene where Kakashi closed his eyes because he did not want to hear the details in Icha Icha Tactics, hence the bells were taken from him.
After that, the shriekings that greeted Kakashi and Itachi when they arrived on stage was really terrific. LOL
<omit sentence here, not sure how to explain this... ^_^;>
When Kakashi said, "You use such a big diversionary tactic, but you're actually finding something in secret aren't you?" to Pain, (the response from the floor) blew my ears away. LOL
The last quote (given by Vered which I didn't quote) shows the first time the name "Uzumaki Naruto" written in full in the series.
Apologies that this has taken so long. To be honest, I really thought that someone out there would have a copy of Shonen Jump's Naruto Anime Profiles Episodes 1-37 by now, as it has been widely available here in the UK, for about a month - specifically someone with a scanner! 
Just a note: I typed everything exactly as is, including punctuation such as exclamation marks, parentheses (brackets) and the three-dot ellipsis (...) except that I've often used British spelling (just out of habit). Typing all this certainly brought back memories of learning to touch type back in school! My fingers are tingling!
EDIT: On page 2 Gold Knight has also typed out an interview that Kishi did for Shonen Jump as Kakashi!
Enjoy.
Most interesting comment? Q1. For me, that answers a long debated question about how closely related the anime and manga are in the making.
Q7 was the other - Anko! Why the heck didn't he develop her more?!? She's my favourite female character too, and for the same reason as Kishi! How frustrating! I guess he can't develop every single character. Dammit.
The other thing I found interesting was the length of time he spends on chapters. I thought it might take quite a while just to get the drawings down pat - and then there's the writing, editing etc. So yeah, hard work.
Anyway, those are what I found interesting.

After that, the shriekings that greeted Kakashi and Itachi when they arrived on stage was really terrific. LOL
<omit sentence here, not sure how to explain this... ^_^;>
When Kakashi said, "You use such a big diversionary tactic, but you're actually finding something in secret aren't you?" to Pain, (the response from the floor) blew my ears away. LOL
The last quote (given by Vered which I didn't quote) shows the first time the name "Uzumaki Naruto" written in full in the series.

Just a note: I typed everything exactly as is, including punctuation such as exclamation marks, parentheses (brackets) and the three-dot ellipsis (...) except that I've often used British spelling (just out of habit). Typing all this certainly brought back memories of learning to touch type back in school! My fingers are tingling!
EDIT: On page 2 Gold Knight has also typed out an interview that Kishi did for Shonen Jump as Kakashi!
Enjoy.
Most interesting comment? Q1. For me, that answers a long debated question about how closely related the anime and manga are in the making.
Q7 was the other - Anko! Why the heck didn't he develop her more?!? She's my favourite female character too, and for the same reason as Kishi! How frustrating! I guess he can't develop every single character. Dammit.
The other thing I found interesting was the length of time he spends on chapters. I thought it might take quite a while just to get the drawings down pat - and then there's the writing, editing etc. So yeah, hard work.
Anyway, those are what I found interesting.
