I honestly have no idea what was going through Kishi's head during the last months of the series. Like you said, this scene could be portrayed in a number of ways. NH/SS could interpret this as Naruto "giving up" on Sakura, while NS could interpret this as Naruto acknowledging that there are still things that he need to do, such as winning Sakura's affections. 

 

Now I interpreted it as the latter, not only because I'm an NS shipper but also because anything else would just be kinda sad. Why should the romance aspect of the story end in tragedy for the main character when everything was leading up to a happy ending? 

 

It seemed like the manga version of Naruto simply gave up on Sakura and then went with Hinata, but then we have The Last which states that he was never really in love with her and since The Last is stated to be canon then that pretty much makes Naruto a scumbag. 

 

It could be interpreted as Naruto acknowledging his future scumbag personality, but that would mean that the reason he becomes an abusive, dead beat father is because he couldn't get with his first choice and had to settle. 

 

Seriously. What kind of a hero is that? 

Well, before 699/700 it feels like Naruto still didn't done all he could (declare his feelings), but after all that bs - he lied to his father in all terms.

 

Yeah I mean all I can do is speculate but the two most likely reasons are either Kishi is trying to sabotage his work or he really is a dumbass. I think you'd have to be really stupid to come up with this kind of an ending and think it's a satisfying conclusion to your 15 year long series. So I'd like to think it's the former, him sabotaging his work, but I really can't be sure.

I prefer second, because it's really fun, how all of them at damage control. Plus those interview clearly done for scaring part of fandom out of series.

I'm glad there are fans, especially Japan, didn't take that bs.

Lol. True. It's funny seeing Kishi trying to do damage control and failing horribly. His interviews only made things worse.

What grinds my gears about the ending is that is renders heartfelt scenes with Naruto's parents so meaningless. The scenes with Kushina and Minato are some of the most powerful in the entire manga. To chalk those up as misleads is really frustrating.

Minato and Kushina were turned into plot devices to mislead the readers, and ironically Minato and Kushina were also mislead themselves by Naruto. Minato left thinking his son would turn out just like how Kushina wanted, little did he know Naruto would spit on her words and become a scumbag. It's actually really depressing when you think about it.

"That was done for misleading" ahahaha, WTF? 

I'm really surprised that none stated that as BS of official statement, or someone didn't find and beat crap out of Kishimoto, that guy just said that he messed up with mother dying wish, father dying wish, story of parents (and if you remember, story started from death of 4th) of MC, just for lulz.

Nope.

[六道仙人]

What?

 

Some friends of mine who support Lazio have proposed me to go with them to watch the match of Lazio-Milan. I refused because I already knew how it would have ended. Indeed, we lose in a shameful way. LOL

Good thing you didn't go. I wouldn't want to go to a game where my team loses like that XD

Theory isn't theory anymore since post-699/700/the last for me.

That's sounds intresting. 

[六道仙人]

my theory: The last is ended with NH and in this forum new topics are about other extra stuff.

Yeah. I mean I don't take any theories seriously now after 699/700/the last movie. They don't work to explain Kishi's last minutes twist.

You should bold it "for me" only  Don't play innocent with that smiley

That seems like a good one. It could be true

Why? You don't allow me to do that?

My theory is everything happens in the last is all Hinata's dream.
