Even if you don't take into account the pairing issues. This ending is still horrible cause its rushed, the characters did not learn anything, Oro is still alive for some reason, Taka is literally forgotten, the hyuga story is thrown away so we can focus on a story about a non established scarf, Neji dies like his dad as a cupi, Lee vs neji was never shown, Ino went literally for the biggest kitten possible, Tenten owns a failing weapons shop and is not that great of a ninja and Hinata remains a effing housewife and forgets about her own demons.
Naruto doesn't learn anything from his loneliness and doesn't try to understand his kid, Sakura is reduced to her old self and is a housewife.
bottom line. there was no point in dragging the story for 15years.
Character development was thrown out of the window and what was left was character REPLACEMENT.
you can hardly recognize them, the whole chapter/epilogue doesn't even feel the same story
I don't get it how people come to me and say "NH was obvious all the time" , I mean wtf did these guys even read the manga?
They were the ones who read the manga correctly...because this manga doesn't need logical and complex comprehension just bananas.
the whole manga is just a way to deceive us readers, but everything was already planned. and that plan is to fool people by making a story that seems to be full of significant themes only to mindkitten readers with a horrible ending that does not fit the whole story.
In the end, 699-700 and that movie are like those fancy furniture that looks good in the shop but does NOT belong to the ones you have at home. well scratch that, it doesn't even look good.
