So with this past week having no new chapter and the recent news today with Kishi announcing the end is incoming, I actually had a bit I wanted to say, even with the recent episode this week of itachi releasing the edo tensei.
With the news the manga is ending, this has given me some speculation as to how the series will go, but for the ns side of things, it's actually given me a funny idea of what can happen.
The current situation: obito is beaten, the allaince is going all out on Madara. Kakashi and minato are talking with obito so his end is not yet there, the battle is done but not his role.
This has led me to speculate that the final fights ahead are going to be moderately long but not allaince vs obito and Madara long. Yet this even believe it or not, I see obitos future having some impact on narusaku but it involves something we won't like. Well I'll get to that soon anyways.
The allaince going to face obito. Technically obito was the strongest being ever as the jubbi jinchurki in the series and it took the combined might if team 7, the kage, the edo hokage, the k11, and taka all to bring him down with the rest if the allaince. Yet seeing madaras power in the recent episode, with the kage faced and how he unleashed his full sussano and he could also unleash and army of sussano clones, Madara isn't going to be easy, especially since he has one last trick up his sleeve. Madara isn't going to be any pushover, in some cases, he may be an even bigger threat than obito was when he had full control over the jubbi.
In the coming fight, it could be possible that sakura plays a bigger role in this fight, we know she can unleash her seal to a degree, but to fight fully, maybe the fight against Madara will be team 7s version of hanzo. Seeing how she did have a bigger role recently, she could have more time in the coming fight with her teammates.
The tailed beasts will ultimately have a role as well they have been rescued but they may have something in the fight against Madara.
Yet what does obito have left aside from seeing the error of his ways? Well he still has a very important jutsu lying around, the rinne tensei. This is where I believe he could directly tie into narusaku, that road of sakura being hurt or temporally killed but this is a reason where this potential path can fit in.
-obito was the one who killed narutos parents and set his life to what it was
-obitos loss of rin was the cause of his dark actions
-naruto has frequently been shown to be the opposite of obito
-we have seen obito coming into almost regret his choices he even envisioned what his life could have been,Ike if he simply returned to the village
- he has even seen how despite his own choices Kakashi told him that his path is like narutos but narutos won't fail as Kakashi said he would always be there to help him.
So why does obito with a rinne tensei and sakura temp death fit in? It's it simply redemption for obito, obito as he took narutos future and set his life to the way it is right now, in order to prevent naruto not only from going the same path, he would be giving naruto the chance at a future he both could have followed and in return give naruto a good future because of this, he took narutos future the night he was born, now by reviving sakura, to break that cycle of despair he has followed, obito can set that future path. Besides, how would sakura react if naruto managed to save her from death by bringing her back to life.
This all depends though on how involved sakura is in the coming fight and if her presence is enough for Madara to consider critical enough to strike down as he tried to do with tsunade at first. Also depends on obitos actions too but it all depends on the first sect, who Madara considers critical besides hashirama, naruto, and Sasuke, and what sakura does exactly. There is one thing known though,sakura isn't going to bite the dust as she is part of team 7 and the story cannot be resolved without team 7 being full again after the naruto vs Sasuke fight.
As for ns development,this will come over the course of the next year, it should pick up pace if 631 is hinting anything. We still need to see the dark stuff with Sasuke. There will be something dark beyond Madara but whatever it is, it's Sasuke related and 635 and his vow to defeat naruto are indicators of the final fight. As for anything else, it's very likely in the future before the final fight for naruto and sakura to have a big moment. It's still possible for the forehead stuff to be revealed to sakura.
