This series ruined names like Hinata and Sasuke for me, because when I see those in other mangas, I will instanly think of Naruto, which I'm trying to distance myself from.( in terms of manga.) Hell, I even came across Haruno and it doesn't help that Sakura is a commonly used name.
@ luckychi I would go with Option two, because that's clearly where the series hit it's peek. Also, because although part one was more dynamic, Sakura didn't show much talent and feats, until the beginning of part two. So, I never would have been able to really get into her character, had I not seen her growth and potential.
The reason why I'm not going with the third option, even though the OVA would be a better ending, is because other than Sakura gaining her seal, I felt the war arc was complete bullsh**( and even then, I was upset that she didn't gain her seal sooner, like during the Pain arc.) The final arc was just one disappointment after the next, with retcons of part one so obvious, that it began to divide the fandom more than it already was.
The summit arc put all of T7 members in a bad light, while the war arc slowly destroyed the series' morals and themes, with the ending burying it and the movie making everyone, whose not a H/NH fan, sorry they ever even knew the story.
So, the series could end at Naruto being acknowledged by the village, with a movie, OVA , or whatever the hell, to solve the Sasuke issue.
