I hear alot of people talking about shippuden comming to an end VERY soon, but I just dont see how. There are SOOO many things that can take place, and there are a TON of things that could lead to many more story arcs,plots,etc. You just simply cannot think one dimensional when you're talking about Naruto (In terms of Story Plot) Here are a few.


1.Tobi's 'Eye of the moon plan': Some people seem to have forgotten about this, you really think Tobi is just going to abandon his 'plan for world domination'? Heck no, Tobi obviously is determined to do this. This goal isnt something that can be executed or stopped in just a few manga chapters. Who says that Tobi will stay and fight? He can easily retreat and things could take a HUGE turn in the manga.


2. Sasuke's vengance against The Leaf Villiage: Come on people, its OBVIOUS that Sasuke will stop at nothing to get revenge on The Hidden Leaf Villiage. You think he is just gonna go "Ok, its time to attack the leaf villiage" and then it will just happen? Nope. In order for Sasuke to pull this off, he is going to need power ups, allies (or some genius plan),preparation, etc,etc,etc. And if you think Sasuke will abandon his goal of getting revenge for the Uchiha clan, then you obviously havent been reading the manga U_U.


3.Kishi has a shitload of characters he can develop: Alot of people (including myself) have been "complaining" about how SO many characters have'nt been getting developement, specifically Konoha 11 (excluding Naruto). You think Kishimoto has just abandoned these characters? Hell no, he HAS to be saving the developement of these characters for another story arc. One that would do their developement "justice". If he developes all of the characters all at once, then there wouldnt be many opporotunities for other story arcs,etc.


4.Naruto is NO WHERE near becoming Hokage: We all know that Naruto will become Hokage, so the question isnt if he will become Hokage, the question is WHEN will he become hokage. EVEN IF Tsunade were to die, you really think naruto will just be appointed hokage just for the hell of it? I dont think Kishimoto would be so sloppy as to do something like that. Naruto still has A LONG way to go in terms of developement and other things. This is a trial and error thing, Naruto just isnt going to become Hokage overnight. Just sit back and realise how many things can take place before this happens.


5.TIME SKIP!!: This is actually my #1 reason why I dont think shippuden is ending anytime soon.Who said that Kishimoto had to make a completely different ****ing series just so a Time Skip could occur? Look how smoothly kishimoto transitioned time skips from the original Naruto. So now we are underestimating the genius of Kishimoto? I hope not. Plus, do you know how much another time gap would do for the series!? It would open up new story arcs left to right! A whole new "era" of Naruto can come into play. New antagonist, new allies, new goals of both, etc,etc,etc,etc. Not to mention he could introduce a whole new roster of characters with a time skip.


6.WHY the hell would Masashi Kishimoto just stop!?: Naruto is more popular than EVER at this point, so you can basically say that Masashi Kishimoto is 'in his prime'. Naruto is still relevant in the world of manga, hell its one of, if not the greatest manga OF ALL TIME! You think Kishimoto is just gonna wake up one day and say "well, I think Im done with everything, so Im just going to make Naruto hokage and stop making a shitload of money, expanding the Naruto fanbase, and make millions of people sad/angry that naruto has ended, and stop doing what I love to do even though Im still able to do it." I dont think Kishi has ANY intentions of ending Naruto at a time like this when there is just SOO much he can still do with this EPIC story.

Some of you just need to have faith, and start thinking outside the box. Do some of you realise how much Naruto still has left in it story wise? Just becasue the current story arc has "elements" that insinuate a complete closing in the story, doesnt mean that the story as a whole is comming to an end. Who knows? All we can do is wait and see what the future of Naruto has in store.

I agree that there is still alot to cover before the manga should end, but I think it'll only take one or two more arcs to wrap up everything.

I expect the series will still continue into early-2013, though.

I would love it. However many series's have became shite as they didn't end in their prime and kept going exploiting every little thing leaving nothing to our imagination. It might be great if Kishi leaves it after one or two more arcs where they are a united ninja world and are training Naruto up to become leader. Something like that where we can sense where it is going might be best

I could counter all of your points... But im just going to use one.

Kishi said that the SERIES is close to it's CLIMAX, that means that the story will end soon. Granted he might just be talking about the climax of shippuden but i really dont think so, since he said "series."

Im thinking it will end around mid-2013.

1.maybe tobi dies...
2.maybe itachis new words/memories change sasuke this time around
3.kishi wont its to late they are in the middle of war and uchiha+senju> then everyone else
4.tsunade could die against madara or step down and give the title over during the war/naruto will most likely get hokage title after he resolves this sasuke situation.
5.I doubt it he seems to be rushing things
6.Because he might be bored/does not want to ruin the series by dragging it out.

If he continiues on the track he is now, then you're probrably correct. However, if things like I mentioned In my post occured, then who knows:shrug:

in my opinion its ending because kishi needs a rest...

Its true that Kishi needs a rest, but that doesnt mean that he has to just end Naruto all of a sudden. He could always pause and come to the story refreshed and rested with new Ideas and a new logic on Naruto.

You never know tobi could get killed at the end of the war arc which concludes naruto, hopefully not though


2. Sasuke's vengance against The Leaf Villiage: Come on people, its OBVIOUS that Sasuke will stop at nothing to get revenge on The Hidden Leaf Villiage. You think he is just gonna go "Ok, its time to attack the leaf villiage" and then it will just happen? Nope.

I actually want to see this happen lol :)


3.Kishi has a shitload of characters he can develop: Alot of people (including myself) have been "complaining" about how SO many characters have'nt been getting developement, specifically Konoha 11 (excluding Naruto). You think Kishimoto has just abandoned these characters? Hell no, he HAS to be saving the developement of these characters for another story arc. One that would do their developement "justice".

4.Naruto is NO WHERE near becoming Hokage: We all know that Naruto will become Hokage, so the question isnt if he will become Hokage, the question is WHEN will he become hokage. EVEN IF Tsunade were to die, you really think naruto will just be appointed hokage just for the hell of it? I dont think Kishimoto would be so sloppy as to do something like that. Naruto still has A LONG way to go in terms of developement and other things. This is a trial and error thing, Naruto just isnt going to become Hokage overnight. Just sit back and realise how many things can take place before this happens.
If Tsunade were to die and they needed to appoint a new hokage i think most of the village would vote for naruto because he's done so much


5.TIME SKIP!!: This is actually my #1 reason why I dont think shippuden is ending anytime soon.Who said that Kishimoto had to make a completely different ****ing series just so a Time Skip could occur? Look how smoothly kishimoto transitioned time skips from the original Naruto. So now we are underestimating the genius of Kishimoto? I hope not.

New antagonist, new allies, new goals of both, etc,etc,etc,etc. Not to mention he could introduce a whole new roster of characters with a time skip.
This is good, with this you could say the sasuke destroying the leaf thing, he needs to hide away to gain more power first or something like that :p

6.WHY the hell would Masashi Kishimoto just stop!?: Naruto is more popular than EVER at this point, so you can basically say that Masashi Kishimoto is 'in his prime'. Naruto is still relevant in the world of manga, hell its one of, if not the greatest manga OF ALL TIME!

I dont think Kishi has ANY intentions of ending Naruto at a time like this when there is just SOO much he can still do with this EPIC story.
I hope he bloody don't just stop it, like they did with bleach lol :L

Some of you just need to have faith, and start thinking outside the box. Do some of you realise how much Naruto still has left in it story wise? Just becasue the current story arc has "elements" that insinuate a complete closing in the story, doesnt mean that the story as a whole is comming to an end. Who knows? All we can do is wait and see what the future of Naruto has in store.

My thoughts are in bold lol ;) but all round i hope kishi doesn't end it to soon, also i wanna see a little romance develop with naruto, even though its not the type of genre to have romance i still wanna see it ;)

1. and 2. These things need to be accomplished, but if Kishi has been able to move through the war as quickly as he has, he doesn't have to prolong these events either.

3. Just because he can develop them, doesn't mean he will. Case in point: Tenten.

4. Kishi doesn't have to show a detailed story of Naruto actually becoming hokage. He could just have a quick look at the future that comprises an issue or part of an issue, sort of an epilogue.

5. and 6. You're correct that there doesn't need to be a new series for a time skip, but why go through the effort? All good things must come to an end. If Kishi drags things out too much it'll reflect poorly on the rest of his work. This isn't DBZ.

In the end, the word "soon" is a relative term and I believe the series will end soon.

i dont think itll end too soon.. you cant just leave it after the war is done.. one or two more arcs as everyone is saying would be it though.. its very good but cant drag it on too much longer.. because they already are fighting the toughest enemy ninja in the narutoverse.. it would have to be another time skip and sasuke is the main enemy like another 3-5 years, the only way that will happen is if naruto fights sasuke right after the war is done.. but you can have a hole other arc on just sasuke being the main enemy since he can get quite a bit stronger i would say another year two and thats it.

It would be so stupid if they stop naruto in every site Naruto is the top reader or the top watched anime!!! But seems like the manga will stop in 2012...hopefully it's just a rumor :'(

And Naruto is not the best mainstream of all time. DragonBall, Pokémon and One piece are the Best. But i agree, Naruto is a hell of a manga. Just awesome!!!
