[Manga] Could This Be Why Sasuke Outshines Naruto?

You know, I read somewhere that when Kishi was growing up his childhood was very similar to Narutos. As we all know Naruto is not too bright, talented, popular with the girls, or not skilled at anything. He strives on hardwork and the will to never give up. Sasuke ,on the other hand, is the complete opposite, being extraordinarily gifted in every ninja skill with a genius level intellect, loved by almost every female his age in the Naruto Universe (except Hinata ofcourse), and has a bloodline limit that damn near makes him a diety, and is, after to his brother, one of the coolest anime characters there are.

Maybe Kishi created Sasuke as the person he wishes he was as child. Sasuke is perhaps the person Kishi desires to be even today, and for that reason Sasuke is one the best and most powerful characters in the manga. I could understand why Kishi would create someone that embodies who he is ,or was, in Narutos character (thats probably why Narutos the titular character), but Sasuke is probably the person Kishi wants to be regarding reputation, skill, and dominance.

(Just be clear, im not talking about Sasukes past or his current goal in the manga in relation to Kishi, but instead Sasukes overall attitude and demeanor in relation to how Kishi would want to or hope to be).

What do you guys think? Is Masashi Kishimoto living out his dreams and desires through Sasuke Uchiha? It would explain a lot it terms of Sasuke current status in the manga, as well as his popularity among fans.
