It would.
It'd start out like this.
"Woah! The guy who draws Naruto! Why's he here? Does he want to fight?"
"No! I just want to talk."
"Oh yeah, forgot, this isn't Bleach or One Piece or Soul Eater of FMA, this is Naruto."
"Naruto, we need to talk. Your questionairres are bad, your ratings are down."
"Is it because I have backed down on my promise to save Sasuke?"
"Well, no. Its because I'm screwing around. Its also because you haven't learned any new moves in eons. You can't really fight. You talk people to death."
"Hey that Pein thing was your fault."
"Heheh, well, who knew? I thought he was emotastic and that'd be enough."
"True that. So what should I do?"
"Well, to boost my ratings superflously and maybe give people something ninja ish, like a fight, like back in the old days of the series when Orochimaru was killer cool, I'm going to let Sasuke and Gaara fight."
"Oh, I get it! And I run in and save the day and tell them to talk it out?"
"What are you, the UN? No! We're just going to let them fight an epic battle."
"But, then they have flashbacks and filler, and then talk it out?"
"No, we leave it like that. A fight to the death."
"I don't understand. What, what moral message is secretly hidden in that? Do they find out I have a generic lineage during it, or something?"
"No, just a fight to the death between the very much loved Gaara and Sasuke."
"Well, does at least one of them come back from the dead?"
"Um, no."
"I quit! See if you can invent another failure as bad as me!"
"Darnit, Naruto! Well, I still got Konohamaru..."
