Exactly! this is the last chapter, and you'd expect kishi to go all out on the pairings. there should be no room left for any ambiguity, but there is, and tons of it!
Now that I finally finished my exams today, I might try looking up some things, maybe hunt for more clues. I think I've exhausted 700, so I might try to find a way to explain the whisker marks.
Yeah, too much ambiguity for a conclusive ending. I understand if he made Naruto just mention his daughter or Hinata or something like that and explore their relationship later, but it's like he went out of his way not too.
Btw, just wanted to direct this message to Chatte, really, really want to read your theory. More than anything you helped me to look beyond my disappointment and actually analyse things. Heck, a few days ago I wasn't even able to read 700, however I've been through it at least 8 or 9 times already! And it's not denial, it's not like I've ignored the situation or anything, I'm just looking at things logically and heck if it's wrong, water off my back. So I wanted to thank you and implore you to come back because all of this, it wouldn't be possible hadn't you had the courage and ability to open this thread and ask for help :)
