Well, I'll be going off to bed soon to sleep uneasily, as last night, thanks to the spoilers. These last few days have really been bizarre, to say the least. I'm holding out until the chapter, but my attitude is: hope for the best, expect the worst. Right now, I think it's the only way I can keep calm about all this stuff. I'm still upset, and I know I will be for a few days if the spoilers turn out to be true. I wouldn't put it past Kishi if the spoilers are real. The only thing he had going until now was consistency, but it looks like he also had to throw that out the window and go full retard.
The story pointed to NS as endgame, the last two chapters were a mess: characters OOC, ignoring years of development; nothing about the aftermath of the war is explained; several characters didn't even appear in the last two chapters, e.g., Yamato, important character in Part II/Shippuuden; Orochimaru, the goddamned main villain of Part I; Taka, Sasuke's team in Part II/Shippuuden; the epilogue was absolutely terrible.
