Open ending would have been ok if the relationship never went far as it is today and I hate to say this, but if Naruto's love was similar to Lee.

Open ending would've been OK without all the foreshadowing.

That wasn't what I meant. As long as it's NS, it's on-topic. I thought it was weird how Hinata's inability to save Naruto proves that she isn't suited as his wife. I disagreed with the argument, and you weren't the only one commenting on it.

Indeed.

[narusaku256]

Oh! Well, I am not objecting her inability. I commented on the basis of her personality and her reactions when Naruto is involved. Yes Hinata can help and support Naruto but not on Sakura's level. I don't know but the relationship of Naruto with Sakura is just...different!(in a good way) But yeah I can be wrong on Hinata's part.

[TouKen4Life3g]

I always feel Hinata part of love is like an old school of Disney. No need to know that much or anything, it just happens.

[narusaku256]

LOL Disney old school love XD. But I doubt whether it is really love or admiration. The chances of later being the most!

[Gojira]

If your afraid of an open ending why dont you tell me a possible way for kishi to make that happen without asspulling and leavin plotholes?

That's what his brother did

It does seem to be that way.

Lol yeah, old school love. Just look and bam, you're together. That or even old school anime love. Well, at least Shounen universe. It seems like more and more series are taking their time to showcase it, even if it's just battle manga. I didn't notice that late 90s was all about violence and insane over the top disgusting in a good way, but there you go.

Is the manga of kishis brother in any way comparable in romance story buildup or themes?

Yeah pretty much. You can go read 666 Satan and decide for yourself, since whether or not it was on par with NaruSaku is debatable and to be fair he was forced to rush the ending.

[narusaku256]

I think in the next manga, we'll get to see that evening/night elephant or whatevr that is and the focus is again going to change to Naruto and Sakura.

Ähhhhm this is a 76 chapter manga how is it in any way comparable to naruto a over 700 chapter manga?

[TouKen4Life3g]

It got canceled. There are manga that feels like it was going somewhere but cancelation makes you drop many ideas.

[PhenixElite]

So in the end just because kishis brother had an open ending in a canceled 76 chapter manga is no argument for an open ending in naruto!

I wonder how long it would of lasted if it didn't get cancelled?

Who knows. It always upset to see something never going to its potential because of this or that.

Well, I'm not familiar with his brother's manga, but Kishimoto is not his brother. If Kishi did decide to go with an open ending, which I personally think is unlikely in this case, I don't see why it would such a huge deal. Yes, I know, people will be upset and feel cheated, but it's fiction and really not worth worrying and agonizing over. What happens, happens. I've already experienced a much loved pairing not becoming canon, so I can personally say it's not the end of the world and it doesn't have to destroy all previous development.

 

And this assertion that some have made that an open ending would make Kishi a "terrible writer" is ridiculous. Basically, if the pairing we want doesn't happen because (insert reason here) then anything Kishi wrote becomes worthless. As a writer I find this mindset petty and short-sighted and horribly insulting.

[TouKen4Life3g]

Good point but still. It's tiresome and not even needed today. How many endings we have of "you decide"? Just give us the conclusion.
