Naruto coming to an end

[Luke]

Been pretty big news on our site lately, thought it was definitely worth discussing.

Naruto the infamous ninja manga from Shonen Jump is ending on November 21st with its 700th chapter.

I've been following the series for god knows how long now after watching the anime as a kid on Cheez TV, bit hard to believe it is ending after it being a part of my life for so many years. But you know what they say, all good things..

Those of you who are following the manga probably know that the final confrontation between long time frenemies Naruto and Sasuke is finally upon us. I'm curious how does everyone think this series is gonna end?

At this point I'm sure we are in for a 'happy' ending. But who knows Kishimoto could throw us a curb ball.

Thoughts?

Honestly, I'm glad 'Naruto' is coming to an end. I think the series has gone on for far too long and has really dipped in quality, especially within these last hundred or so chapters. I just can't stand what it has become. Good riddance.

Fair enough. I can agree with you that Naruto has gone down hill during Shippuden. For me the downturn began with the fight against Pain. Things just got ridiculous from there on. But I still think the last time Naruto was truly brilliant was the original Naruto vs Sasuke battle at the waterfall in Part 1.

Look, Naruto should have ended at Naruto. I dont think it should have ever gone into Shippuden. It had its moments but really it was nothing special. Not compared to the pre-time skip.
