Actually...did sakura really truly know naruto loved her? I mean he didn't say so when she confessed....he even rejected her. And it never got taken up again....

 

oh she knew. sai told her so before the war. he told her that naruto utterly loved her and was risking his life and putting aside his own happiness for hers. which led her to planning to kill sasuke, because as long as he lived, naruto would never be safe or happy. 

 

that's right. not only did sasuke try to kill her many times, but she tried to kill him. key word "tried". 

 

 

but nope. we have to have old fangirl sakura who can overlook all the pain, damage, and suffering he caused with his selfish, immoral and stupid actions and lay down with him. 

 

 

kishi, you kitten waffle.

[narusakurama]

So in the end, Sasuke wins. Naruto turns into a horrible dead beat dad and is miserable. Hinata is happy because she got to be Naruto's b*tch and everyone else just said "kitten it."

 

Never thought I'd say this , but I got a strong Danzo like vibe from Naruto ... would have expected Sasuke to be more like that

[Bryon_Konoha_Ninja]

This disappointment reminds me of how I felt about the ATLA characters being parents. :(

I dunno, I at least LIKED how we got to see it and how it was handled with Aang and Katara to an extent. THIS was just a mess... a smelly hot mess.

[tricksie]

Looking at that pic it does feel like the ultimate troll on Kishimoto's part. Sakura's a single-mom housewife, Naruto's a deadbeat dad, Sasuke's an itinerant traveler, Ino's with Sai....

 

Whatever, man, whatever....

[sushi.]

 

This feels like Legend of Korra....

one second you have Aang who lost everything and treats the idea of friends and family as precious.

then you have Legend of Korra which basically says he was a neglectful father. 

 

and Toph hooking up with 2 dudes that aren't even in their kid's lives.

I know!!! It reminded me of that My two favourite shows became kitten. : ( Ugh can't take it anymore. I mean it's not even all about the pairings. The crackships, the kids' designs and names, no love or friendship in the epilogue or team 7 talk. No resolution, no nothing. D:!!

 

But because it wasn't just the pairings that were kitten made it easier for me to throw the ending away and not swallow it. I can take pairings, but all this is too much.

I dunno, I at least LIKED how we got to see it and how it was handled with Aang and Katara to an extent. THIS was just a mess... a smelly hot mess.

Well I definitely think this is worse, but both is bad. XD

[NSmakessense]

I just remembered Naruto saying that he hates people who lies to themselves.

He also said he never goes back on his word, and never give up. That was back when the manga was coherent.

Is it really surprising that Aang didn't know how to be a good dad? he didn't have a conventional upbringing...

[Sav from Australia]

This ending makes me appreciate Bakuman's ending even more.  What happened to respect for characters and happy endings.

 

Dragon Ball also had a nice ending.

 

I am really quite fond of certain characters in Naruto.  But up to a certain point.  Thereafter, the characters are written as a mere caricatur of their real characters as per the plot and development.

[natalieuciha]

i cant even comprehend how some of you can defend this low failure of female character anymore

 

sasuke  :im sorry

sakura:for what?

 

EXCUSE ME NIGGA??

the guy tried to murder you multiple times and treated you like a piece of kitten you are most of the time and yet she asks why he was sorry?...its like in her sick mind,everything sasuke has done is perfectly normal..its official..shes a freakin masochist..ten times more insane than karin...at least i hope she doesnt teaches her daughter to end up like her...cause i feel realy bad for salad for having such parents...a masochist mentaly instable mother who failed her career and an absent father

[narusakuotp]

n

In 699 there were so many completely uneccessary panels of Hinata. Like why are you there. The conversation has no relevance with you. I'm pretty sure Kishi changed his mind. If he wanted the ending from the very beginning, he would have built up more Sasuke and Sakura interactions ( that didn't invole fan girl Sakura obsessing over Sasuke or Sasuke trying to kill or degrade her ) and Naruto and Hinata interactions, instead of building up NS. Crazy turn of events.

Yeah, most people here thinks he changed his mind, if not everyone. I agree with you. Why do you think he did it though? Money? Fan/editor pressure? There is no way we read this manga wrong since I hear people who don't care about ships in Naruto are angry and confused, too.

It's like he got tired and decided to give the finger to all the things the manga stood for.

By the way, dead Neji is still mad that the reincarnation of Asura convinced him that destiny wasn't the end all be all.

this was before her confession though. And when she took it up with naruto he didn't confirm if he did. Instead he rejected her, and said he was saving sasuke for his own reasons too. You can't blame her if it was hard to believe he did after that.

In which he is doing himself in NH

And this makes me laugh.

[Tsuki Hoshino]

Thinking about all these crappy dads makes me want to take out my awesome one for drinks....

And let him foot the bill.

[luffyq1]

DAMN.

[Nostradamus]

Am una. O scriu cel tarziu in weekend. Si da, totul e Infinite Tsukuyomi...

Din tot sufletul sper sa ai dreptate. Pentru ca astea 2 capitole sunt ridicole. Absolut nu pot sa cred ce am vazut si citit.

 

The real ending:

Sasuke: Hey, Naruto...you still awake?"
Sasuke turns to see Naruto not saying anything.
Sasuke: "Naruto?"

Naruto finds himself in a black void.
Naruto: "Where am I?"
Nothing seems to be around and walks up to a lonely campfire in the middle. He sits down and runs his fingers through his hair and only now noticing that his missing hand is back. He smiles, closes his eyes, and relaxes.
Naruto: "So...this is it, huh?" He sighs. "I have no regrets. Life wasn't so bad. I made some great friends and it was actually kind of fun. Well, maybe I do regret one thing...I regret not being able to tell her how I felt..."
Disembodied voice: "So go and tell her, honey."
Naruto: "Huh? Who's there?"
Minato and Kushina appear standing side by side smiling.
Naruto: "Mom? Dad?"
Kushina: smiling "Don't give up so easily. I told you to find a girl like your mother and you know who that is...so tell her."
Minato: "Son, listen to your mother who is probably smarter than both of us..."
Kushina: "Probably?" Kushina gives Minato the look
Minato: "Okay okay, you are smarter."
Naruto laughs and smiles at his parents
Naruto: "Mom...dad....thank you."
"Naruto....Naruto....Naruto...."
Black void fades

Naruto opens his eyes barely and see someone crying above him.
Sakura: "Naruto....please....Naruto wake up..."
Naruto: "Sakura-chan?"
Sakura smiles and is crying over him. She wipes her tears and hugs him
Naruto: "Easy, Sakura-chan." Naruto looks at Sasuke who is standing up next to them. "What happened?"
Sasuke: "Well...you died and Sakura brought you back. The First Hokage gave me his powers and I transferred them to Sakura to heal you."
Sakura is in his chest and looks down at his newly reformed hand. He then holds Sakura close.
Naruto: "Sakura-chan, I never got to tell you...."
Sakura: "I know...I know..."
They embrace lovingly and hold each other tight. Sasuke smiles looking at them and remembers Karin.
Naruto: "What about..."
Sasuke: "The others? They are being released as we speak. I did it while Sakura healed you."
Naruto: "Thank you, Sasuke."
Sasuke: "No...don't thank me...It's all you."
Kakashi appears
Kakashi: "Okay, everyone seems to be waking up from the tsukuyomi. Good work, Naruto. Come on, let's go home."
Sakura and Kakashi help Naruto up and help him to walk. Sakura looks around and notices Sasuke is gone.
Sakura: "Where did Sasuke go?"
Naruto: "Sasuke is going to go find his own journey..."
Sakura looks at Naruto and he stares back
Naruto: "...and we'll be here when he gets back".

Tsunade: "Oiy, what happened?"
Shikamaru: "We were released from the Tsukuyomi."
Ino: "I had such a great dream"
Kiba: "Me too."
Shino: "Hmmm...."
Hinata: "Naruto-kun freed us."
Tsunade: "Wait, where did Orochimaru and those three others get to?"

Sasuke is seen standing over a hill watching the sunrise. Karin and the rest of Team Taka walk up next to him
Karin: "What do we do now, Sasuke?"
Sasuke thinks of Naruto and smiles
Sasuke: "Where ever the wind takes us..."
They walk off.

Some years later
Naruto is at the Hokage desk and is writing in a book. The camera moves around and we see him older and him jotting something down.
Sakura: "You're gonna be late if you don't hurry up..."
Naruto looks up to see Sakura standing in the doorway wearing a doctor's coat and pregnant.
Naruto: "I'm sorry, Sakura-chan. I lost track of time and I was just finishing up."
Sakura: "Still the same Naruto."
Naruto gets up and walks over to her. They kiss and Naruto gently holds her tummy
Sakura: "I hope our son can be as great as you."
Naruto: "How do you know it is a boy?"
Sakura: "I am his mother, I can tell"
Naruto: "I still can't believe this is all real. it feels like a dream."
Sakura: "Well, believe it."
They smile at each other
Shikamaru shows up
Shikamaru: "Kage Naruto, the rest are waiting for you. This is a pain."
Naruto: "Sorry. Shikamaru. I can't believe peace can be achieved here and now."
Sakura: "Well, then you better hurry."
Sakura places Naruto's Kage hat on his head.
Sakura: "Now get going. They are waiting for you."

Naruto leaves for the meeting and is shown sitting down at the table looking around at all the other Kages and with Gaara smiling at him.

Naruto: "Welcome...everyone.."

Scene cuts back to Naruto's desk and is shown a book that reads "Tales of a Gutsy Ninja 2."
The end.

I can't believe I'm actually going to say this but this actually made me cry a bit.

Truly perfect James. You stayed true to each of those characters.

Thank you.

So in the end, Sasuke wins. Naruto turns into a horrible dead beat dad and is miserable. Hinata is happy because she got to be Naruto's b*tch and everyone else just said "kitten it."

Yeah. The main character achieved nothing.

Is it me or Sakura's boobs got bigger?

[Chatte]

What if it's not over? Guys my guts doesn't let me give up... I never feel like this if i am not right... And it's not about that, is about logic. When i doubt myself i turn to logic. What happened here isn't logic...
My guts never lies to me...ever!
