Kaguya may not be the final antagonist

As the title says. And I am basing this on 2 facts.

1. In this very chapter we find out that every life person on the planet is under the IT. And as Sasuke states only a Rinnegan can counter a jutsu, created with a Rinnegan. Which basically means the ONLY person able to release everyone is Sasuke. I don't see Kaguya doing this kindness and I can't imagine Madara doing it (although Kishi could prove me wrong yet again).
2. Way, way, way back, after killing Danzo and after Tobi stops the battle between Kakashi, Sakura and Naruto vs. Sasuke, it is stated that "If Naruto and Sasuke fight, they would both die". Now I believe (and this is simply my take on the issue) it has always been Kishi's desire to end the series with a fight between Naruto and Sasuke.

Now let's look at where we stand:

Sasuke, Naruto and the Edo Hokages are the only shinobi, able to fight Kaguya and BZ (I exclude Kakashi and Sakura). A possible configuration might be Sasuke&Naruto vs. Kaguya and Edo Hokages (-Hashirama and Minato)vs. BZ.

Here is where the plot twist enters. After Kaguya's imminent defeat (because let's face it: she is bound to be defeated) Sasuke will be the ONLY one able to release all the shinobi from the IT. But what if he refuses to do it?

Let's analise this:
Sasuke's life hasn't really been that great. Lost his family, his entire clan. The killer was his own brother. He ahd to kill his brother and then had to learn the truth about the events. His life and the life of his clan and brother were sacrificed for the sake of the village. Although one could argue that the Uchiha had it coming, people died that day.

I believe Nagato once said: "Hatred breaths hatred. It is a never-ending cycle" He himself lost his family to leaf shinobi.
He then lost his friend to those very same shinobi (yes the Leaf's anbu under Danzo's command). I know it didn't go exactly that way but it is the main catalyst.

So let's conclude that the 'frail' world everyone lives in is a never-ending cycle of hatred and death.

What possibility is there? Well Nagato wanted to change the world using the power of the 9 Tailed beasts. Obito wanted to do the same thin, only a tad bit different. And in the end Madara accomplished that idea. He put every human being on the planet under a never-ending Genjustu. Everyone is currently living their ideal life, full of happiness. No sadness, no death - only joy and laughter. In a way we can interpret that as a 'perfect world'.

Getting back to the point. What if Sasuke doesn't want to change the world anymore? What if (in the following chapters) he decides to leave everyone in the Genjutsu? No more fighting, no more deaths, no more lives ruined. A possible 'Uchiha Incident' could be avoided.

To wrap things up: Sasuke refuses to release everyone from the Genjutsu. Who is there to stop him? Only Naruto could match him at this point. And that is how we get that Naruto vs. Sasuke battle-to-the-death.

Off-topic: this is my first thread so excuse me if I did it wrongly. Please give feedback and share your opinions on the matter.

That actually seems plausible. I could see that A-hole doing it, and Naruto will have to put him down.

I have to admit, when I first read the title I was thinking "You're joking right? You are f**king joking right?"

But then I actually read the thread and now I'm thinking, " This may actually happen, it seems likely and, IMO, I would do the same, and just want to leave everybody in the genjutsu as well."

Good thread mate ^_^

No I don't think that would be the case, because I think he wants everyone to acknowledge sasuke as the candiate to become the Hokage for his own ideal like restore the Uchiha clan similar to Madara& Hashirama Backstory. He will then end up just like Madara due to the crime he commited and his behaiver that doesn't portray as leader like these latest chapters.

It's very much possible, Sasuke is a crackhead and there's no telling what he could do after Kaguya's defeat. Sasuke might die at the end of manga as well. He's too evil to be a determinist (reminds me of Suzaku from Code Geass, though Sasuke is slightly less annoying)

The idea seems obvious and logical, but it will be too simple because everyone can imagine it. Besides, everything Sasuke said was hypothetical, no shred of certainty. So, it is actually not sure if he can stop IT. In fact, Sasuke's opinion is still doubtful given that Black Zetsu was able to not fall under IT without having Rinnegan.

Next, we may need to wait and see if everyone really fall under Genjutsu because we did not see Raikage and Onoiki. We have not also seen Orochimaru, Kabuto, and others. The reason I am saying it is that being caught in a genjutsus does not mean you cannot dispel it if you can notice it.

I want to see Obito as the 6th hokage that's all.

This was actually a very good and realistic prediction, its really got me wondering what Kishi is going to do next. +rep man

Definitely a plausible idea. However, I wouldn't be happy with it. We have been on this battle field for far too long and I feel as if the Sasuke/Naruto Battle should once again happen at The Valley of the End

The thing is: Kaguya wont be defeated if Sasuke keeps this attitude. We need to go step by step here.

Btw, I prefer Orochimaru coming from the cursed seal in Zetsu/Yamato than Kaguya as final villain, but I can't see how Sasuke is able to become a final villain anymore.

I pretty much think that Sasuke lost his chance. Kishimoto made it explicit in this chapter, because if Sasuke keeps this attitude, he will only suicide himself and bring Naruto down with him. He needs to get in an agreement with his comrades.

My first impression was like; long text and Oro avatar, nooop im outta hereee!!!
But since everyone gives you credit, I feel forced to read it.
Be right back!

Edit:

I enjoyed reading your theory, but I refuse to believe Madara is done.
Have a nice day.

Thank you for all the positive feedback guys. I know it's highly unlikely but it would be yet another mind-boggling twist.

One thing I forgot to add:
We can also look at it this way - Naruto inherited the will of Jiraiya and wants to change the world using the people in it, using their kindness and reaching for their hopes and dreams. That is naruto's goal. And he can do that by becoming Hokage.
On the other side Sasuke also wanted to change the way people think and in his own way change the shinobi world. He, however, went for power - with enough power one can certainly influence the world. He believes that by achieving power he can take the position of Hokage and 'rule' over the people and keep everyone in check. This is just my opinion.

And so we have a perfect clash of 2 different ideas on how to accomplish the same goal.

it was a good theory but i don't think so, if sasuke is the only one who can free everyone from IT, and he decides not too, then everyone is pretty much screwed, because even though naruto might beat him in a fight (or they both die like naruto predicted) naruto still has no way to force sasuke to free everyone from IT. your theory kinda reminds me of the edo itachi and sasuke vs kabuto fight, but what saved itachi was the fact that he could put kabuto in a genjutsu and force him to undo the edo tensi, naruto cant really do that with sasuke so that conflict wouldnt be able to be resolved
