I would like to see Kishi rollback the time and create a alternate timeline from the end of pains arc, because I think for many of us this was the point where the story really started to diverge from the point it was originally intended, the writing style, the involvement of Hinata all happened from this arc, think before this point Hinata was only involved with the Neji arc, after that she was forced more on us, and Sakura's role also started to become more questionable, her confidence was higher, her decisions her more decisive and not involve Sasuke, and her popularity was at a all time high. I also think the series lost allot of fans after the arc, you could tell the series lost it's focus, and many fans only stuck with it because they'd been with Naruto for so long. I would like to read the end that was originally planned for this, even if it didn't involve god teir enemies. The war ruined one of the biggest phrases from the manga 'It's the job of the new generation to surpass the previous generation' the war showed us the new gen is weak compared to the past.
If Kishi makes a reboot sometime in the future (pfff, yeah right), i'd like it more if it happens directly after the chuunin exams. More realism, more politics, genetics of bloodlines, more history (like the clans), more violence, etc. Basically a far more mature series. I mean, why the kitten is the daimyo this old, frail and stupid weed who looks like he doesn't have food? Why isn't he a real battle tested samurai-lord? Why doesn't he have children (or we didn't see some)? And why the heck didn't the war involve the minor villages? Why didn't 'Madara' manipulate them into fighting against the five great nations?
So much wasted potential through trying to keep the manga for the younger audience...
As I said about Star Wars, it's part of the movie industry, an industry that is known to change and rewrite, the book series were canon because Lucas Arts said they were, now that it's changed hands and they want to expand it, the rest can be destroyed
because for allot of fans of the series the universe doesn't exist outside canon, it's not part of the movies so it's OK to not exist for them. And if they do deside to nuke episode 1-3 they'd need a complete reboot of series and create a fork in the timeline that would split the universe, like the Star Trek Universe, everything that happened in the universe happened already but for the new reboot to be also considered canon, they created a fork in the timeline that left the original universe as it was and created a whole new timeline for the new one.
Actually, for a lot of StarWars fans the Timothy Zahn books ('The Thrawn Triology' and 'The Caamas Crisis Triology') are still considered canon and many hope that Warner Bros. and Lucas Arts make 'The Thrawn Triology' into the new movies.
