I see no reason why this chapter would divide NS fans in any way. It's authors interpretation of how the story went, he's doing it out of love for the characters that were walked over by their creator, drawing it in his free time for no reward whatsoever.

I for one am grateful we have someone stepping up to the task of redrawing the whole panels and reworking the story in a way that's worthy of the characters and so far he's done a fantastic job.

 

For me personally this scene played out exactly as I envisioned it - and I love it. I always believed this would be Naruto's response, should Sai have ever confronted him, after fulfilling his POAL. After witnessing the things he did in the final stretch (Ch.693 onward) there's no way he would just run to her and say: hey look now that I brought Sasuke back, it's only fair that I tell you I love you and you need to choose. Naruto is selfless and he would never just throw himself at her like that. He would have given her time and space to figure out what she feels.

 

That being said I don't see this chapter as him giving up on her, just doing what he thinks will bring her happiness. Let's not forget, "love out of rivalry" scene never happened here, Sakura never confronted Naruto while he just sat silently there like an idiot, not standing up for himself and his true feelings - which is still my biggest gripe with the Last, along with him immediately shifting to Hinata, or however that went (never seen the actual movie).

 

He said it best in one (albeit filler) episode we all know by heart: "...and before I knew it, I was in love with her. Of course even if I do feel this way, I would never ever try to force her to love me, I'd be no different from the guy just now."

I think some manga artists draw from real experience.. Or that it sort of affects the way they write about this subject. If their manga becomes super popular then they tend to be really busy for years on end. If they marry and have kids then they don’t have time to spend with their kids and can end up being hated.

 

I don’t know or anything but.. i wouldn’t be surprised if Kishimoto has a difficult relationship with his son.

 

It makes me think about the last volume of Rurouni Kenshin, where Kenshin's cute little son Kenji seems to resent his father, and is described in the end notes as growing up to be twisted. 

This was the case with Kishi as well, no question about it.

I remember an interview where he said that becoming a father changed him so much, he wanted Naruto to meet his parents, which was not the plan when he started writing the story.

I've bought Storm3 for PC way before the manga ended and from what little I've played it, it was really a great and fun game.

Then my GF forbade me playing it, because it was full of story spoilers for Shippuuden, which, at the time, she hadn't watched yet. Actually, she's just begun watching it a month or so ago.

 

Anyways, I have nothing against the developers, they weren't the ones that ruined the story, they've just adapted it into a game, so anyone wanting a good Naruto game can't go wrong with this collection. If you're Narusaku fan, just skip 4th game and whatever came/comes after it.

So who's ready for tomorrow's newest series!?

Not me, haven't touched anything post Ch700 and from what I've seen so far around the net ... god riddance for that!
