NO, NO ,NO. Lies no Jutsu. Sasuke was an April Fool's joke. I haven't cared about Naruto in ages.
Back during it's golden era I was heavily into it like most people, then it started showing off how ...."special" Kishimoto is at "writing". DBZ ninjas (And I like dbz mind you, but it set a standard of how NOT to drag fight sequences out that we all laugh at.) fighting aimlessly and all getting max powah, and saiyan levels (curse level 2? shove it Kishimoto) was just too blargh for me. Sasuke's an emo chick and my most disliked character (sorry Sasuke fans but you know it's true XD).
I'll end with saying that it's pretty insulting that I, a fan of Hunter X Hunter is insulting the story pacing in Naruto. =3
