Nice read! I like how you have everything coming full circle but somewhat in a reversed way. So you think Naruto will ascend past the sage to kill Sasuke and end the hatred? I'd like to hear more detail on this final fight.
Thank you! I believe Naruto will resolve the conflict of the Younger and Elder Son which will end the hatred and causing Naruto to bring true peace and ascend Rikudou. But him and Sasuke either succeed or fail together. If one of them dies without resolving their conflict, then the bitterness lives on. Same if they both live but the hatred is still present. Then Sasuke becomes Madara and once again Rikudou's Sons have failed.
Their success or failure will affect the United Ninja World's development, as Hashirama and Madara's failure directly affected Konoha's development.
I personally think that they both will die in their fight and the hatred will end with both of them, despite it being a Shonen. Maybe I'll do a more in depth prediction thread in the near future on it! =D
long peace of text but your definitely on to something
i think the key becoming and fullfilling roles of sage's sons is:
both to acknowledge they are long lost brothers and became good. bring something good. equal power together as a one are sage himself
Spot on. Madara said the Uchiha tablet claims of a God who split his power into Yin and Yang, and hints that if they were to work together, then peace can be obtained, and specifically states that "this logic can be applied to everything." One could argue that this referred to Rikudou and his Sons.
The ending will no doubt be about Naruto and Sasuke's success as Rikudou's Sons, but how they will do it is the interesting part.
Good post! Thank you! =D
