Thread: Masashi Kishimoto Taking Ideas from Fans

Does anyone actually think Kishimoto has time to frequent internet forums and read fan theories when he has tight deadlines to meet every week? The life of a mangaka is pretty hectic even with assistants. The tobi/madara twist may or may not be inspired by Usual Suspects as that plot device is common in old mystery or detective stories.

the only way i'll believe kishi is taking ideas from fanfic is when naruto totally for some stupid reason turns out to be the tengu theory. then i'll be pissed and never read naruto manga ever again. but then again some fanfic theories are bound to be right i guess. it could of course be mere coincidences.

Coincidence that Naruto happenes to be the son of the 4th?

Coincidence that Akatsuki members were teammates of the 4th?

Coincidence that Tobi was Madara Uchiha?

We were hand fed that.

None of the Akatuski are the 4th's teamates.

shrugges.

@AtrumIncendia

we pretty much knew that the fourth was naruto's dad. i mean there were so many references to the fact. itachi called naruto the fourth's legacy. the third said that the fourth wanted naruto to be viewed as a hero.

where does it say that the akatsuki members were teammates of the fourth.

i don't know of a lot of people who thought tobi was madara. most people assumed he was obito. personally i don't think it's set in stone that he is madara. we'll never know at least until he takes off his mask.

I got confused. People said that they were taught by Jiraiya. Whatever I'm wrong.

on second thought.. i'm pretty sure kishimoto ripped off the whole story
cuz naruto's actually based on a real person!!

i haven't told anyone yet.. cuz i'ts a top secret and also well-known fact in my village... that a fox monster was sealed within none other than me when i was born!! awesome isn't it??

yeah. and I'm pretty much mickey mouse in disguise

I think every thing was made by kishimoto... the main story is not based on things that the fans say

who says that Tobi IS Madara Uchiha? Tobi said that he has the power of Madara Uchiha no that que IS Madara Uchiha (well that's what I think, for me it's more than obvious who this Tobi is, and it's not M.U.)
