1. Is Jiraiya dead?
Kishi : He lives..............................in your heart.
Naruto has to be grown up. Shikamaru also needed to be grown up. And Sakura will have to be grown up, too. Lee? Lee doesn't need to be grown up anymore.

2. What's gonna happen next year?
Kishi : Started with Sasuke vs Itachi battle.
I'm gonna write about mainly Sasuke next year. And Kakashi and Sakura, after that. Especially Kakashi. I can't tell yet but a huge event will happen to him.

3. What kind of way of ending do you do with Sasuke vs Itachi battle?
Kishi : I can't tell. But I have kept this waiting to manga readers for a long time. So I'll have to make everyone gets content with it.

4. Describe the color of Sasuke vs Itachi battle.
Kishi : Glossy-Black

5. Describe the color of Kakashi story which you just mentioned about.
Kishi : Dark Blue

6. You said you're gonna write about Sasuke, Kakashi and Sakura. What about Naruto?
Kishi : Naruto has to wait.

7. Are you gonna write the battle of each member of Hebi?
Kishi : Actually I didn't want to. But Shueisha ordered me to do with something about them.

That's all. He didn't say anything about the Akatsuki on the stage.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I posted this in response to Mellomuse. Yeah, it's all focusing on Naruto now? O'rly?

Best part of the interview. Kishi admits Hebi is Team Filler!

Sasuke development. What makes me hope is that Sasuke will realize he needs his friends, but I'm fearing it actually means he'll find out about Madara and become more like him. Yes, this isn't Avatar where characters *Is jumped by the spoiler gaurds.* Needless to say, I've watched TWA.

Kakashi? Obito=Tobi anyone?

Sakura? As much as I think Sasuke is a lowlife (Crummy guy, but great character. Like Zhao! Except, the Admiral rocked ten times harder, FC been sucked into rufftoon's fan-world.), I would actually be disappointed if the two didn't get together. Sakura's final development seems to lay in romance. What's her REAL resolve as a character other than that? Protect Naruto and Sasuke? Not as strong as Sasuke's revenge and Naruto's Hokage quest. I'll find it highly amusing if she manages to "save everyone," which is what Naruto's been trying to do all of part two.

PS-Avatar still rocks harder. But I'm writing a fanfic for Naruto now, DeiTobi yoai FTW. *Goes to hide under rock. Runs into Zetsu, is saved by Toph.*

Wait, I also had an idea for an Avatar fanfic that's a total rip-off of Fushigi Yugi, Isaia, and Booter-Freak! Away to the type-writer.

And his name is Aerodon.

So, like many I am looking forward to the Golden Compass, an excellentbook series I read in High School. I don't care what a single soul says about "His Dark Material" books, THIS is the kind of literature that students should be reading, the substance, richness, and complexity of this series puts even Harry Potter to shame. Yes I said it! But while this isa fabulous series, I don't necessarily think these are books that should be read to children for um... various reasons, unless you're teaching your kids the heavy stuff of William Blake and John Milton's Paradise Lost.

And I don't think anyone can argue, that the best part of the series were the Daemons! Really, who wouldn't want their own personal embodiment of their character and nature following around them every hour of every day? In the form of an animal no less that reveals your innermost self and theaspests of your subconsciousfor all the world to see?A bright side to Daemons is no one can call you crazy when you start talking back to that little voice in your head... or not in your head anymore. Daemons can be confusing... Try exploring the website, you can even take a test that determines the animal form of your own daemon.

Besides the awesome-ness that is the Golden Compass, Avatar has finally been able to pick up its pace again. Still a Avatar fan, if not so much a die hard fan (The Hellish Hiatus killed a part of me, I swear, maybe why I've been so abscent), season three has been good so far, if not as compelling as the first two were. Maybe it's the lack of direction the kid's journey has so far, and I'm not so happy withoutany villains chasing the Aang Gang. The looming threat hasn't been looming around much the last few episodes. I know the kids deserve a break, but since this season was supposed to go "all out," it's been a little too light-hearted to be that, I don't find it as interesting as I've found other episodes to be. But nothing's been a total waste, Zuko's side of the story (while I'veneverfelt as nor more important than Aang's) has been both fascinating and compelling. We've witness his descend into madness and fear, the war of secrecy between the Fire Lord's children is as vile and veiled as the serpent, poisonous and silent reptile, and Iroh's lastest dish of pwn-ness has made me turn over a new leaf, and am now a completely devoted fangirl-uh... FOLLOWER in the cult of Iroh. Hail ze Teaman, Hail ze Teaman.

Seriously, when you have a MAN like Iroh around (even if he's the elder uncle), how can anyone like inexperienced teens the likes of Sokka and Zuko. Sokka, who's as green as the Earth King's robes and the other makes Hamlet look like a stable youth. But I am to admit, seeing Sokka mature but not have an overnight Gary Stu growth makes me appreciate the man we all know he'll be one day. Zuko, uh...

"Free speech zones (also known as First Amendment Zones, Free speech cages, and Protest zones) are areas set aside in public places for political activists to exercise their right of free speech in the United States. The First Amendment to the United States Constitution states that "Congress shall make no law... abridging... the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." The existence of free speech zones is based on U.S. court decisions stipulating that the government may regulate the time, place, and manner-but not content-of expression.

The most prominent free speech zones are those created by the Secret Service for President George W. Bush and other members of his administration.[1] The stated purpose of free speech zones is to protect the safety of the dignitary, or the protesters themselves. Critics, however, suggest that such zones are "Orwellian",[2][3] and that authorities use them in a heavy-handed manner to censor protesters by putting them literally out of sight of the mass media, hence the public, as well as visiting dignitaries. The Secret Service denies specifically targeting protesters, but, on a number of occasions, these denials have been contradicted by local police officers who have stated under oath that Secret Service agents specifically ordered them to target protesters. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has filed a number of lawsuits on the issue."
