Can't find your left socks?
I don't have any matching socks, lets put it this way; Sometimes I have to wear striped on one foot, polka dots on the other 
Yes, it just seems like a streak of meanness on the part of Kishimoto to draw the toughest, fiercest, neo-sannin kunoichi and designated heroine of the series in the epilogue wearing an apron and do-rag and dusting the house. Why? I mean, just...why?
It's like finding out Hermione is a secretary in a low end accounting office somewhere, reduced to answering the phone and filing someone else's papers all day.
Ino and some of the others shown going to (or at least being aware of) the Hokage's meeting, right? And what's Sakura doing? Dusting. She's not even an active part of the village she helped rebuild and protect. She's not doing the things she most wanted as a kunoichi or medic, she's not by Naruto's side as a teammate helping him out, and she's no longer following in Tsunade's footsteps as a disciple.
Like I said, it almost seems like moment of hatred on Kishimoto's part to sabotage Sakura's hopes and dreams the way he has.
Right! I get that maybe TenTen was used to illustrate that there wasn't much need for weapons now that the fighting was done. But really, that could have been shown through Naruto's diplomacy skills or through the old Hokage's sitting around reminiscing. Or shown through the ninja academy being turned into a different kind of academy.
Instead TenTen is robbed of her identity and goals and made to be a shopkeeper, instead of running a dojo or demonstrating with the Sage's weapons, something I would think would bring her a great deal of fame after the war.
So many different choices could have been made. Like I said earlier, this is like an April Fool's prank that just won't stop. I have to wonder if Kishimoto was just so tired of his own work that he decided to throw the whole thing up in the air and leave no one truly satisfied. Except Hinata, of course.
A part of me, a tiny, tiny persistent part of me just feels that this ending is to f**cked up to be real and at any moment the true chapter will be released, and then it gets squashed by depressing reality. This truly is the trolliest of endings I have ever witnessed.
Ninja's are no longer necessary in a world of "peace" if Ninja's simply perpetuate the cycle of hate they must be eradicated, and yet they continue to presumably, do ninja business which causes strife in the world and therefore perpetuates HATE. So everything about that war was completely pointless besides getting rid of the people who wanted everyone dead. If Ninja still have jobs then the world must not be all that peaceful...
On the other hand, important Ninja's like Sakura are shown doing nothing productive besides eradicating dust bunnies.
Again, it makes no sense.
Just read this chapter. For me personally, this was just as disappointing as the harry potter ending, so I will treat them the same way.
Ignore.
Epilogue? what Epilogue!?
OMG, I would pay to have someone photoshop Kishi's face on the grinch! LOL
I would, but my gif-fuu is sorely lacking.
