LMFAO @
Right. Got a friend who does freelance character work for Naruto (the guy who designed the Snow Princess for the movie. I've seen his original sketches, I approve). He gets inside info from the bigwigs over there, and he says there's a 90% chance that this will happen: Sasuke dies. Naruto kills him. Tsunade hits the books again, and comes up with a non-sacrificial version of Orochi's Edo Tensei, bringing Sasuke back. It's not even concrete that it'll happen, so make your own mind up as to whether you believe it or not.
Funny thing is how he said spoilers follow and don't continue to read if you don't wanna know.
Ppl like that make up bullshit theories to get some forum attention.

and lol @
By all means, call my bluff if you want to. Like I said, this is just word from a friend with connections, nothing more. And he said 90%, so while it might not make it, there's a bloody good chance it will, hence me posting it here.
As for the mangaka, I'm not talking about my friend drawing frames for the manga, I'm talking about him designing characters, sending em off to the bosses and getting money for it. One of them just so happened to be Yukihime.
He mentions that friend again who probably doesn't even exist nor would've ever been heard of by Kishimoto or any "bigwigs" as he put it. Inside connection my ass.
