So judging by what you guys are saying. They are going for the dark edgy route off the bat? Honestly, it really had no choice. Remember there was nothing from the ending of Naruto, the novels, or anything else made in the last year that would allow for a sequel. Not because they tied anything up but their was nothing interesting from them. The ending was setting up the sequel. The Last was trying to justify nH and The Novels tried to justify the last. The gaiden in the end did nothing. The Bolt movie did even less. So they have nothing to work off of. But they need fans to get interested in their monthly manga in a series that is in a decline. So they need to draw in the fans quick or risk losing everything. What better way then going dark and killing of the previous main character? This is nothing but a desperate act and just shows how far the Naruto series has fallen.
