Anime/Manga chat - Spoilers likely.

[Eiko Kasuka]

So what do you think nagato is gonna just walk away or what?

Also is it just me or can you sense the story coming to an end soon?

[jeviherei]

I somehow don't think his just gonna walk away.
His more of a type to test it or leave behind a small imprint of a kind of himself.
So his probably gonna do something before going away or dying.

For the story coming to an end soon...
Well, if you are talking about the entire story itself,
Nah.
:/
I seriously think that this might get as long as Dragonball series.
XP
After Nagato, there is Tobi; aka Madara.
Then there will be the Uchiha thing all over again...
Then the author will think of another factor to add on.
:3

[Eiko Kasuka]

See i agree with the first bit. He's gonna do something cool before this is over.

But as for the story coming to an end i really can feel it coming. The whole will of fire thing for me means naruto is going to succeed in handing a peaceful world to the next generation of ninja i.e. Konohamaru. The thing with nagato is gonna end soon for sure and by the time konoha is rebuilt i think naruto will have dealt with sasuke and madara and will have found a way to abolish the need for ninja.

I also think he's not going to be hokage but take up jiraiya's old role as a sage.

[kentsu]

I agree that Pein will perform some uber cool maneuver. But whether he'll withdraw or whatever else, I'd say it depends on what he ends up doing.

More importantly, though, I feel the story isn't near its end just yet. Remember, Naruto still holds the Kyuubi, and despite Pein being out of the situation [ perhaps ], Tobi and Kisame are still an important factor in the hopes of attaining the Akatsuki goal. Even if this is no longer their primary goal, they possess eight of the nine Tailed Beasts. And they are plotting some plan in the background. Plus, Sasuke wanted to personally destroy Konoha. The village was already decimated [ which was uber godmoddish ]. So we'll have another emotional Sasuke + Naruto "sex" scene.

Hah, if Naruto doesn't end up being Hokage, then half of these Naruto boards with Naruto once being Hokage will end up being dead wrong! Anyway, Naruto is already a Sage [ I think; he has the abilities and toads ]. Dun' ya' mean becoming a Sannin?

[Eiko Kasuka]

I think i meant become a proper hermit like go of wandering and what not.

Talking about konoha being decimated, do you think all these homeless ninja will go out on the battle march before they start re-building?

[Yanagi]

i think that depends on Nagato/Akatsuki - if they withdraw but plan on attacking again, Konoha might try and attack them first. But if Nagato/Akatsuki are defeated or some sort of peace thing happens where Konoha can be certain they'll never attack again (extremely unlikely, I know), then I reckon they'll just start rebuilding straight away.

The problem with Konoha attacking is that they're so weak now - most if not all of the surviving shinobi are wounded, some are unable to fight. So it depends on how many can fight and if there is a valid reason to.

That's just what I think, anyway

[kentsu]

I agree. Of course, if someone destroyed your entire village and were fended off by a single boy, you'd be awfully pissed initially, and ready to deal a more critical blow. Then Naruto and probably some other supporters will blockade them with another emotional scene involving crying and Nagato + Naruto's confrontation. Eventually, they'll settle down and be all, "Let's rebuild" before another goddish assault by Tobi / Kisame / Sasuke or a combo rains down on their unexpected heads.

Personally, I am excited about the confrontation of Hinata and Naruto. She finally confesses her love for him, ends up nearly dying, and revived! Then Sakura seems to be a bit jealous. Something interesting to look out for, ya.

Konoha rebuilding is ensured, but I cannot tell when and how it'll happen with the darkness still in the background. Plus, with Nagato performing an unknown technique, I am rather confused on what path the story takes us next.

[Eiko Kasuka]

I can't wait for the next chapter!

And Hinata!!! I thought she was dead! I love her in fact i think i might end up playing her. She's just so awesome. I think Sakura is finally going to understand how naruto felt when she was crushing over Sasuke. And she was quite a bitch back then though she's pretty cool now with her tsunade style strength and what not.

I'm still convinced there is maybe only one or two story arcs left of naruto. I just feel like it's unwinding. Especially with the "oh hai" in Naruto's head from the Fourth.

Gah i love naruto. here have a picture.

[kentsu]

Thankfully not. Hinata was caught in time before her injuries became fatal. And with that, I can definitely tell the next few chapters are gonna' be emotional loads of memories and feelings. So I have to believe Naruto is unwinding to the end. Sakura deserves it, though. She was quite a bitch back then, always bickering with the one person who cared about her the most. Sounds like most of these pathetic girls I see running around my school. xD But with epic strength, it can transform anyone.

Aye, the next chapter shall be very interesting. I am always anticipating it every Thursday or Friday. One of my friends claims he already knows the path it is going to go from here. Must be that obvious or he is learning too much in school.

And then the Fourth! I am still confused and excited about his sudden and random appearance. Like, who knew his spirit connected with the seal? And then all those secrets. He definitely was an excellent Hokage, that's for sure.

Wow. e___e;; Ever seen the actual Yaoi picture? Hah, loving Naruto causes paralysis.

[Kagai Tentei]

i can see a fuck load of black boarders ( Flashbacks )
and i really cannot be bothere with that crap.

[Eiko Kasuka]

don't you just love konohamaru!
I think he's gonna be majorly important. I also think Kurenai's baby will be the first child born into the peaceful generation so i'm giving it nine months.

[numberedtables]

I agree with both previous posts. Flashbacks are incredibly boring, I only scan over them.

And they made Kurnai pregnant for a reason. Because that baby and Konohamaru are going to carry on the Sarutobi Clan which I think is going to rule Konoha again. We see that each Hokage is linked. First and second are brothers, third is their student, fourth is his student's student. Fifth is the first's grandaught as well as the third's student. Sixth is either going to be Naruto (Fifth's teamate's student) or Konohamaru (Third's grandson).

[Kagai Tentei]

its great in the books coz they have black boarders that means i can skip them out not even skim read

[Naruto Uzumaki]

Naruto is the fifths teammates son?

He's fourth hokage's son i thought.

[numberedtables]

I meant student of fifth's teamate. But I attempted to multi-task. It didn't end up going well.

[Naruto Uzumaki]

lol okay, i was confused

[kentsu]

Chapter 449 was released.

Pretty good chapter, I must say.

[Eiko Kasuka]

It was awesome though i found konan was an over all let down. she didn't do very much. and yay kakashi is alive again!

[numberedtables]

Stuff Kakashi, yay Shizune is alive again. =]

I was half expecting Konan to stay in Konoha and help out. Its kinda sad, Madara, Zetzu and Kisame (mainly Madara) won't let her just back out of the akatsuki; so when she goes back to rule Amegakure, I think she is going to die. A shame as she was the only Akatsuki that I really liked... (Kisame came second) I didn't think they would let Kakashi die, he is too important to the storyline. Kakashi, Sakura, Naruto and Sasuke are the only ones I don't think will be killed at any point. The climax of the Manga might result in one of them ying, I think it will be Kakashi as everyone wants Sasuke back in the village. To be honest, I didn't get that Pein was dead until I saw the page where Konan was collecting Yahiko's body. Kind of a waste. Pein could have helped a lot more in these situations than the people he saved... Shizune is amazing though.

[Eiko Kasuka]

The end is nigh! I can feel it. Also yay for iminant team 7 reunion!!!

Btw in chapter 437 what the hell does Hinata's attack do!?




I mean he countered it with shinra tensei but i have a feeling it'd would have been super destructive if it'd landed. Flaming chakra lion head things!?!!!!

Juho Soshiken?
