Well I figure as a long time member who never says much, I figure I should make my final post a doozy
You fail so much as a writer kishimoto, I can not believe how easily you have completely ruined Naruto. Sakura's character is dead and Naruto is nothing but a coward. I am going to forget this atrocious ending ever existed. For your own saftey Kishimoto I hope you quit writing manga.
I will still have good memories though. I was a fan of NS from chapter 3, when we truly were the laughing stock of shipping communities. When that lil boy looked passed that lil girls insecurities. I will remember when Naruto first used shadowclone and Sakura for the first time thought he was cool. I remember Sakura teaching Naruto the trick to tree climbing. I remember in the first part of the chunin exam Sakura wanting to protect Naruto's silly dream. I remember Naruto fighting with his life an beyond to save Sakura from Garra when no one else could. After this I really started to think maybe NS had a real chance. Then i remember Sasuke leaving and Naruto making that heartfelt promise. That is when I knew NS was meant to be. I remember there reunion and Sakura noticing how handsome Naruto has become and wondering if he thought she had matured and blushing well doing so. I remember how distraught Sakura looked when she learned why the akatsuki were after Naruto. I remember when Naruto became 4 tails and Sakura tearfully ran towards him thinking only of him. I remember Sakura saying she could only do the smallest things for Naruto and Yamato's sentence being interrupted.I remember when Naruto hurt his arm from using rasenshuriken and being excited when Sakura said she would feed him. I remember when Pein had destroyed the village an Sakura desperately called for Naruto to come save them. Then i remember Naruto returning to a hero's welcome and Sakura hitting him for being so reckless then holding him close and thanking him for saving them
To me this is when Naruto ended, after this point it was like it was written by a different person. Naruto was the manga that got me into manga, before it I had watched DBZ and gundam wing and that was it. So i will always be thankful to Naruto for that. Now I can move on and read manga by much better authors who do not give into pressure and absolutely ruin something many people spent half there lives reading.
I wish to truly thank the H&E community. You made this long time lurkers time here an enjoyable one. I wish you guys all the best ^^
