Naruto was nicely drawn in this chapter. Naruto and Sasuke's fight is mostly compose of long distance jutsu then when they got close to each other they will just start to talk at the middle of a fight. In part 1 what i love in that fight is that they are able to fight using their fist or their feet and not just jutsus. I want them to fight closely and with real contact. they didn't even scratch each other at this fight so far. but I guess it is because kishi is rushing things up and he's bringing the big guns early.

I don't think so. I think this attack will have them go back to human size fight. It's like Hashirama vs Madara. All we missing is "I'm coming!" hidden jokes.

What money?

Honestly I don't see this last for the remaining chapters, I mean Kishi did state he plans to end the manga conclusively so that just leaves me wondering how he's gonna plan on doing that in less than 3 chapters.  

 

There's two scenarios I can see happening for the last 3 chapters:

 

697: Naruto and Sasuke comes to an end, Sakura wakes up from her genjutsu, and heads to Valley of The End. 

 

698: Aftermath of the fight, freeing everyone from Infinite Tsukiyomi, Sakura and Kakashi arrive.  

 

699: Wrap up of  the series. (it can sorta work since this chapter is stated to be 39 pages long)

 

 

Option two is somewhat of a stretch, but 697 and 698 end up being 30 pages long like with what we're gonna get with 699.

Kishimoto, you have let down hardcore NaruSasu bromance fans such as myself 

 

This doesn't even feel like a Naru-Sasu battle. Why is there no excessive flashbacks and emotional talk?  Where is the panel of Naruto( holding Rasengan) and Sasuke(holding Chidori) running towards each other while having multiple bromantic flashbacks?  Where is the Rasengan- Chidori clash?! 

[Alessa]

I could say that I disliked this chapter, but this panel kinda gave me something to reflect.

I mean, this line of Sasuke cut Naruto so deep. And it cut me too. Even though we saw Naruto use this jutsu to keep himself company, I have never realized how symbolic Kage bunshin was.

And DAMN, we've come so far, we've seen Naruto being accepted by the village and respected by his friends, is he still so very lonely??

I'll tell you the truth, guys. That moment, when I saw that panel, I just wanted to throw Sakura at Naruto. Just reach through the screen, take her unconcious body and throw it at him. I know this image may offend Sakura-supporters, because she is not an object, of course. I'm her supporter too, but DAMN I am so tired of her not being there for Naruto 100 percent. Yes, she is somewhat there, somewhat caring, but in this second part of Part 2... I am so tired of Naruto feeling lonely. I mean, I am not angry at Naruto's character, I am angry at Kishi for not giving this guy something solid and warm to hold on to.

Geez, be it Sasuke or Sakura or Hinata, just no more loneliness, please, Kishi.

Could we not fill this thread with spam? I mean, there's no problem if you don't like this chapter, but you're hindering discussion if you're going to make fifty posts with less than three words every two pages.

Exactly. The combat scenarios back in Part 1 were more grounded with a plethora of different styles at different ranges used; there was no certainty given in advance for who would win because the advantage continued to see-saw with Sasuke mastering his Sharingan and Naruto pursuing depths of the Kyuubi's power as his desperation to stop Sasuke increased. On the other hand, you can summarise this rematch down to chakra monstrosities clashing with each other. It doesn't have that raw, back-to-basics element that the original fight retained, despite the growing powers.

I remember thinking recently, what even is the point of kunai and shuriken in Naruto anymore lel.

[Inferno180]

Even with only 3 chapters left, I still hope and at least suspect one of them should have well, the aftermath and a reception, hopefully a NS moment.

 

Though I do find it funny how the battlefield this whole time was close to the valley of the end at the border of the land of fire.

 

But yeah, this chapter just simple battle Naruto Sasuke stuff, we know it, we just need to see how Naruto succeeds.

 

Though it was interesting to see Sasuke pull out this new sussano while naruto had kurama manifest into the full 3 head ashura avatar.

 

So for anything else, least the fight is still enjoyable.

 

Hopefully this manga gives at least one more NS scene, hell I would settle for a return with naruto and sakura smiling to each other at this point.

I hope so :) If they do go back, that means the fight is nearly over

[AHK]

We actually don't know how Naruto met Sakura or when he decided he liked her.
 
 

 
The anime removed that panel.

That panel was from a flashback where Sasuke's fangirls started screaming Naruto for challenging him. So Sakura knew him, just not on a level anything more that knowing his name. It's true that we don't know when he first started to like her, but we did see him try to beat Sasuke to get her attention a couple of times, if I remember right.

Well, it's near the end of the series, at least Kishimoto has been able to hold out for as long as he did. I remember watching DBZ and feeling completely irritated when they started blowing up planets. Shonen is all about power-ups, but once you hit the ceiling, there's nothing more to anticipate for.

[Gojira]

So Kishi knows were all tired of this dumbass war arc yet he absolutely insists on dragging this thing out to the last chapter and stuffing everytjing else in the last 30 pages of the series

[Nefertieh]

Yes, we did know Sakura knew of Naruto, and while it's likely they had spoken before (as the fillers assumed), it's entirely possible that she was just another face in Sasuke's hoard of fangirls to Naruto at that point.

 

We can't assume that Naruto was fighting for Sakura's attention alone when we don't know if he fell in love with her before then, or when they were a bit older.
