'You never go full retard!!!!'
Exactly, I would have kept watching Naruto if they had made several mini-series like you described, Naruto making his way toward becoming Hokage, Sasuke traveling around the Elemental Countries on his redemption journey, the K11's journeys but the only way this could have worked is if they had planed these out and released teasers for them before releasing Naru...I mean Hinata: The Last and now Burrito: The Nardo Spawn. If they had done this, and followed a concrete timeline, I think even Naru/Saku shippers would have been at least accepting of the ending as this would have continued showing the development of the characters that we all grew up with.
Precisely. I'm sure a lot of people here would've continued to follow the story even with NH canon provided it was done right and didn't screw everything up. And I say this because I know the people here, I know that you guys and girls are rational people.
Of course you would be pissed because NS wasn't canon; I would as well. But over time you'll be ok with it because you'll still follow the same characters that you liked for all this time.
But no they decided to destroy everything and only keep the hardcore fans/I'm sorry to say this but the idiots who won't think just buy whatever is given to them.
