Masashi Kishimoto: It was only after he finished writing Naruto 15 years ago that he realized the way of comics

Recently, netizens exposed a previous interview of Masashi Kishimoto, in which he talked about interesting secrets about "Naruto". After being tempered by such a classic comic, Masashi Kishimoto actually claimed that he only realized the "Way of Comics" in the period before the completion of "Naruto", which aroused sighs and heated discussions among netizens.

If you look at the representative works of many comic masters, you will find that in fact, from the beginning to the end of the comic, whether it is the style, composition or plot connection, they are all in a stage of continuous maturity and growth, including "Doraemon", "Arrest Warrant" and even "One Piece". Of course, there are extreme negative examples such as "Yu Yu Hakusho"; the long process of comic serialization is indeed the process of growth of cartoonists.

Kishimoto said that when the 15-year-long "Naruto" was finished, he felt that it was finally "finished, I was liberated!" Although he felt that he had done his best, it was still not perfect enough, and it was not until the end of "Naruto" that he realized the "way of comics".
