Has anybody posted this yet? This person makes an excelent pairing neutral critic about the ending as an whole and point out all the flaws:

Yeah, I think this person was spot on in his critique.

The whole ending is just surreal.

Well it has been a long time since I visited NaruSaku. Admittedly, I lost interest in Naruto just after the Pein arc and have merely been following summaries from time to time.

Having said that, I am really disappointed the manga ended the way it did. There was always the possibility NH would happen so I was always prepared for it. However, to see Sakura end up with Sasuke is just completely unpalatable.

Setting the pairings aside, the characterizations overall in the past two chapters are absolutely off that it is unbelievable. It is just such an objectively poorly written ending, regardless of which pairing you support.

On a more subjective note - how could Kishi have ignored the development of Naruto and Sakura, all the obvious parallels between them and Minato and Kushina, Jiraiya and Tsunade, etc? It is so totally bizarre how things ended up with no real explanation or actual closure between the main characters outside of Naruto and Sasuke. Anyway, this is pretty much the same sentiment that most have discussed already.

I'll just take solace in fanfiction where NaruSaku can live on without the character assassination.
