Trivia / Naruto Gaiden

• Creator's Favorite: Masashi Kishimoto states that Chocho quickly became his staff's favorite character.
• Trolling Creator: The whole "Sarada's real mother" ordeal seems like a laser-guided jab to the upset shipping fans who, post main series finale, dared to suggest that Sarada was in reality the daughter of Karin.
• What Could Have Been: According to the author, there was going to be a flashback scene of Sarada's birth which was actually drawn but it was never included in the final chapter (it was supposed to come when Karin made her I Want My Beloved to Be Happy remark).
