But seriously what if this is, like, the biggest troll.

 

OMG.

 

People, y'all seriously need to wait till the final chapter.  C'mon, haven't you learned not to assume?

I'm gonna repost what Atheck said in case you guys missed it. He made a very excellent point. Please read.

 

"As you said, there's a number of oddities that just don't add up. The influence of Kurama has only been seen in three characters - Naruto, Ginkaku, and Kinkaku. Naruto inherited the energies and influence of the bijju through the placenta when he was still developing inside of his mother's womb. From what we know, these traits are not acquirable when the person is just a minute sperm cell. So this can't be the source of their facial whiskers. And Kinkau and Ginkaku needed to consume the bijuu's flesh to develop whiskers. So right off the bat there's an inconsistency with established facts. 

 

Whatever real world biology is used to justify the lack of doujutsu surfacing in these children, they don't necessarily reflect the mechanics of Kishi's universe. Keep in mind that in the last chapter alone we witnessed Naruto and Sasuke survive a high intensity explosion with no protective shrouds around them. Then they spent the better half of day talking and resting for hours when they should have been displaying symptoms of Hypovolemic shock very soon after the initial explosion. Again, an inconsistency with the scientific laws of the Naruto universe versus reality's. 

 

Perhaps the most glaring mystery is the coincidental nature of Sasuke's daughter wearing glasses that appear to be the exact same design and similar colouring of Karin's. What could have effected her eyesight to the point that she needs glasses. Poor eyesight is not entirely biologically influenced, but we can't rule out the fact that neither parents have ever suffered from some form of weak-sightedness. If this was injected into the character's traits to distinguish her from her parents then it's a fairly jerkish method of doing so, considering that Sasuke's (former?) teammate donned glasses of a highly similar design.  She's also been madly infatuated with Sasuke since the Itachi Pursuit arc, and if you believe what some members like Chatte have pointed out, he's expressed a unique side of his personality that only Karin's presence could bring about.

 

I'm not too keen on the nuances of differing art styles nor am I able to pick up on every subtle detail in the drawings, but it is true that many artists of a similar calibre to Kishi's work have provided convincing fan art in the past. This could still somehow be a forgery intended to trick readers (I sincerely hope so). 

 

And as so many others have already explained, Sasuke was never directly involved in the infamous bench scene. He was being impersonated at the time by Naruto and would have no understanding of Sakura's self-conscience anxieties regarding it. No one has any awareness of this private misgiving outside of Naruto when he cloaked himself as Sasuke. Moreover, Sasuke's blatant indifference for her emotions or opinions for the greater half of the manga has been a constant staple of his character up until now. There was no foreshadowing to suggest that a deeper layer of personal romantic attraction might have existed in Sasuke's heart for Sakura. He might be an emotional roller-coaster whose priorities have been shifting constantly throughout different points in the manga, but that disinterest has always and consistently existed. Even this new and improved Sasuke would have no incentive or basis to express interest in Sakura because she never meant that way to him, even while the influence of Naruto's kindheartedness was in full effect back during the Chunin Exams. 

 

There are quite a few loose ends and questions to ponder in this scenario. It's just too incredible, so out of character and contrived for Sasuke to do, that it's probably best to wait until the Panda releases #699/700."

You're Erwin! You're leading us! 

Dibs on Sergeant Levi!

[Aeria7Gloris]

A manga that needs a movie to make it more believable is no real manga ending.

 

^This

[Fenris]

Erwin's the best tho! Lead the survey corps to the end, got his arm chopped off, captured, was freed and is still a boss in the end. ​lol are we actually assignment AOT roles .__.

Who am I, Konan Senpai!? 

[Qia]

Ahh don't worry about being seen by others by the way. The forums now force you to sign in.

[MangaReader]

I honestly don't blame you guys.

I was in huge denial too.

It's like: am I still reading naruto? Da fack iz diz kitten?

That's not me in denial... that's me questioning if he's really an author

[deviouslyChaotic]

I still haven't started noragami yet (planned to watch it when it first came out), but still yato's super cute

[*- ZerΩ -*]

Guys.. im happy...im really happy....

Thanks for everything..Konan,Luffy and the others too...

This "bond", the positivity we have right now...its Amazing!

great post.

[lupina]

This "Epilouge" is so goddamn bad that I might start trusting the guy who said pages ago that it's fake ... otherwise it could just be another kittentard of the "fanfiction pairing got canon" section who's making fun of us ... I'm not sure what to think.

[Cherryblossoms]

Naruhina is way more believable than sasusaku!  Sasuke said he doesn't know what sakura sees in him 5 chapters ago and now he's poking her forehead and smiling at her? that's too ooc even for sasuke

[Askia31]

I so feel you...

theres nothing wrong with you guys, don't look down upon yourselves, this is all on Kishi's end and his bad writing skills, dont ever forget that, the ending is like a damn circus, i dont give a kitten if its the official kitten, this is a bad joke.

[Sakura~]

speaking of it, I actually started noragami thanks to your sig. I actually googled your sig to discover which anime is it from, and I finished it in a day

Fullmetal alchemist will always be my fav anime/manga. It never dissapointed me.

[StriderC]

Exactly! There's just no logic, no positive incentive or message that's being conveyed here - that is what Kishi set out to do, right? To allow an underdog who grew up emotionally and socially ostracised from people to overcome the obstacles that life sets in front of him and accomplish everything through his indomitable willpower. How is obliging the wishes of a girl you barely knew and had no romantic sentiments for so they can accomplish their dreams setting a positive standard for the youth who read this manga? None! By the logic of these . -called "spoilers", everything that has taken place between you and the woman you love to build up to a climactic reciprocation will have been for naught. You would have effectively failed what you set out to do.

exactly. I want to know where the shift in his feelings happened. I want to know if he gave up after Sasuke poked her damn forehead. its lkke Kishi splashed the NS development all around and whats comical is how the most developed couple doesnt happen while the couples that little to no development were thrown out there. This goes from NH on down to Choji and Karui. Itll never feel real and genuine to me. Naruto giving up on the fight is insane. Im recalling the time he fought Gaara and how far he went for her safety. How several people thought they were a couple. So much went into NH. Itll never feel right

[Michi]

Guys.. im happy...im really happy....

Thanks for everything..Konan,Luffy and the others too...

This "bond", the positivity we have right now...its Amazing!

I thank you guys for being just you & for being so positive.

Wish I were lol.

I applaud you!

[MangaReader]

We need to do some random survey to a group that has no clue what Naruto even is... and have them point to the pairing that makes the most sense. I guaren*uckingtee you that the majority will pick NaruSaku

[ALEX SENJU]

You're Erwin! You're leading us! 

All hail luffy :)

[choco2]

I think it's such a horrible ending that there is no way we can't try to refute it... its that bad that even the worst of authors wouldn't pull this type of thing

 

 

last chapter crack pairings became canon lol

 

and Kakashi end up with who ?
