Recent powerups most likely temporary (Naruto, Sasuke AND Kakashi)

[Malekite]

i still love this manga (about as much as i liked dragon ball when it was in the majin-buu saga).

I remember when SSJ3 came out i was like .... again .... this is getting ridiculous.

Shonen series are always like that when they get towards the end because power scaling gets a bit ridiculous.

I still enjoy the Naruto universe and it's potential but the main storyline has gotten a bit stale since Obito absorbed the Juubi. It seems like it's nonsensical power boost one after the other.

Additionally i cant see the series continuing past it's current point without a massive draw down in power. For this reason i'm hoping that Naruto's yang, Sasuke's yin and Kakashi's MS are all temporary boosts that will die off with this story arc.

How can you keep Naruto going when they've already fought the strongest in their known universe(s)? Fighting someone even stronger would get ridiculous. By making their latest power boost temporary it would open up the world for further development that make sense.

I enjoyed Naruto's story more when their Justus couldn't destroy a continent in a single shot.

I think that's where the Movie come in play. However, I mean Madara and Hashirama were like the strongest of their time.

Hopefully they are

they were but they remained bound by a certain Narutoverse logic that made them relateable.

Since the end of the Jubito arc it just seems like the story has become unbound and less realistic within the established universe.

In my humle opinion this was foreshadowed since part I. It was established that the Kyuubi by itself has the power to destroy mountains and since it was sealed inside Naruto we had to expect -at least I did- that at some point Naruto would have access to this full power and that the situation would require it.

Please don't get me wrong, I understand your point as the story was much more enjoyable when they had to resort to jutsus based on tactics and deception; yet the whole power levels in this arc, which I'm assuming is the last one, were regardless, expected.

i came to the same conclusion in part 1 after being explained that the valley of the end was the concequence of hashi and madara fighting. I expected that we would see this level of destruction some day.

the only way they oculd go forward without a drawdown is to create a stronger villain and where would he come from? Space? other dimension?

I feel that it would cheapen down the Naruto verse to have that happen.

I'm really hoping for a drawdown after this arc. I want Naruto to continue but i would rather it does in a relateable way if at all possible.
