Naruto

I had completely forgotten about that Sasuke fight that will happen at the end. They're going to have to go balls out for that fight because this fight was pretty epic.

That caption summarizes Naruto so well. I bet he still believes Sasuke is his friend.

I do hope that Naruto becomes something different after this. There should be a concluding arc and then let these characters go. Perhaps a series that takes place a few centuries later would be in order.

I do want to know how Kishimoto handles Sasuke x Naruto. That needs to happen for me. Not because I am obsessed, but because I am seriously confused about how Kishimoto will handle that fight. Naruto has constantly been talked about as a great fighter but all he really does is Rasengan. Killer Bee managed to nearly kill Sasuke so it's not impossible. Somebody kill Sasuke!

I'm hoping he has something much bigger in mind. I believe in kishi so im kinda betting that for that final battle all betsare off! and for some reason idk..i'm thinking the moons eye plan will succedd. i meandoes uchiha madara really seem like a guy who could lose so easily? maybe obito but not him. he still i s hands down more the most powerful character in naruto.

Plus im pretty sure sasuke is on his way to talk to madara so unless they have a talk during this battle i dont think madara will die at that battle ground. but you are right, most of narutos lose ends are neatly wrapped up in a little package except the sasuke thing..well and how the first hokage died..

and btw for bleach i actually enjoyed the fullbring arc, and this current arc. there were still questions about the aizen arc unaswered so i dont think it should have stopped after that in my opinion.

I'm not sure what Naruto vs Sasuke would even be at this point. Despite the war seeming like it's reaching it's conclusion, Naruto and Sasuke are both on their own shit at this point and it's either gonna take a lot of time or some mediocre writing to get them to really have a versus battle.

Meh chapters for me. Monster battles are lame. I'd like to think that some drama was added by potential death, but then I remember that how Kishi brought everyone back to life during the Pain arc and this all seems like whatever. $20 says Sasuke gets the rinnegan or Obito has a change of heart and uses his rinnegan to help bring everyone that died back to life.

it's getting super epic, but Kishimoto did say that this is going to continue for another year, who knows Akira Amano just ended Reborn, and I think that book had some pretty long legs to stretch out. But a creator I suppose can only do the same thing for so long.

Naruto VS Sasuke does not need to be as big as this, but must happen.

@sickVisionz:

Part of what I like about this arc is that is really doesn't have to do with Naruto's obsession with Sasuke. That's been his driving force since the time skip, and it's a downer. That's why I'm dreading what follows. How can you go bigger than all the nations uniting together? This just feels more like a finale with Naruto taking out the people who killed his parents, and he's now admired by most of the Shinobi World.

All that's really left is the Great Toad Sage's prophecy, but I bet it isn't what Naruto thinks. Back when Naruto met with the great sage, he cut the Toad Sage off before he could tell him the outcome of the prophecy.

I don't buy Sasuke reviving everyone. Not enough big named characters have really died yet. In Invasion of Pain, everyone was dying.

@tximinoman:

It just comes across as silly pacing. You have the protagonist defeat the biggest bad this world has ever seen, then he goes after Sasuke. The only rationalization is that Naruto doesn't do this alone, but he will face Sasuke alone, and Sasuke is now using Itachi's eyes. However, Naruto now has the Nine-Tails power under control.

@FoxxFireArt: as much as this guys are a threat to Naruto, they are not his nemesis, his nemesis is Sasuke. It's not about the scale of the threat or the powerful the enemy is, it's about how important the enemy is. As important as Madara could be for the shinobi world, he is much less important to Naruto than Sasuke.

There's no way the series ended here.

(and btw, this is not the same as Bleach's fake karakura town arc because back in Bleach Aizen was the main bad guy, he really was Ichigo's archenemy, after his defeat there was really no point at all to continue Bleach because of that, not because of the scale of the fight)

@tximinoman: I wouldnt even say aizen was ichigo's archenemy because they literally only met twice and had very little interaction. I would classify aizen as more of souls societys enemy ifyou look at it right. He was doing bad things way before ichigo got in the mix and the ones who had a score to settle the most was def the soul reapersof the 13 court squads. So using your own example of naruto dont you think ichigo deserves a more personal final enemy?/

and if kishi can pull one out of the hat after this arc i would love to see that happen he did set a pretty high standard to continue the story after.. but im guessing he will make it epic and weall will end up eating our words about this being the most epic fight ever.

Man I'm loving this war arc, especially the most recent stuff. Can't want to see the review of the next chapter with a very major death....
