After reading 699 & 700 I've come to the conclusion that...

[TimBone]

Kishi is a baaad writer!

These chapters were written terribly, all that exposition crammed in to 22 pages.

Don't get me wrong, I like the universe, Kishi has created a nice setting, and the characters are ok. But man, these last two chapters were bad. lol

Also the kid names..... They suck. Who came up with those names, whoever did it, will somebody shoot him. Jk I don't wish death upon them but the names are whack.... Shikadai???? the ff, Bolt??? usain Bolt? Inojin????? Salada????? HUH!? Fruit Salad?

Maybe it was the fact that he only had 22 pages to cram all that info in, the names of the new characters, their personalities, what EVERYBODY is doing with their lives now, but seriously, use more pages... Bit of a disappointment really, 15 years culminating to this point? 22 pages?

Some random person on the internet,a forum created because of Kishi,called him a bad writer it must be true
Seriously stfu you may not have liked the last chapters but that doesn't make him a bad writer
A bad writer doesn't have a manga that lasts 15 years,multiple movies,big franchise,and gets ranked at least top 5 every week in wsj ratings

There must be a reason why there's a lot of hate threads, and besides it is constructive criticism praising the characters and the setting :3, I gave both pros and cons.

The last two chapters were badly written.

The blatant exposition, like for example, when Iruka was talking to konohamaru he was like "you koohamaru (to establish that its konohamaru) after all ur a jounin now (to establish that hes a jounin) you wouldn't say shit like that in a real convo, they've known eachother for ages, it was purely for the fact of letting us the audience know that he's a jounin. Shit like that is littered all over the chapter.

Everyone has their opinion. If he feels Kishi is a bad writer then he feels so. Many writers write bad stories and good ones(sometimes).

The problem is there was a time gap. Which tells us what is the outcome of the characters but not how they got there.
The mini series hopefully gives us more information on these changes. I did lol at Anko. One of the hottest characters on Naruto who barely gets screen time(for a fictional character) just gained a whopper of weight, but that happens, people get older and with peace Ninjas arent exactly being forced to learn/train which is bad imo. If Ninjas don't have an immediate threat of some sort their ways will become lost.

The ending with Naruto and Sasuke to me felt very bland(not horrible). Almost like Inuyasha. There are so many ways it could end. It could have just left off without showing us at all the future of these characters and just other ways. As to what is the best ending Im not sure. Ending a series could always be rough. I read a lot of dc and Marvel comics and they don't exactly end, they just sorta drop off after a event. Then possibly another writer does another event.

Everything generally comes to an end and it can't always please you its just important to remember the parts of the series that did please. Sometimes Grand finales can't be done when its written in a certain way. Naruto imo went to big on Micheal bay imo or over the top shonen. What I mean by this is huge monsters, Explosions and less Ninja ways. Always trying to beat the previous fights on a larger scale or perhaps even(which is common in dc and Marvel) create character stronger than your competitors or just stronger characters over and over.

Take Superman...The series isn't about Superman beating ass but mostly how he lives with his powers and people(mostly), but when they do go the action route. Its always lets make this villain stronger than last or make this villain make Superman weaker for this fight. Then before you know it Superman is holding a black hole in his hands...now thats bad writing. Sometimes villains and characters don't need to get stronger...sometimes a good plot is all you need...but sadly Action junkies seems to sale. Lets face it Naruto, like Superman at one time, arguably still is, written for young kids who nowadays mostly all have some form of ADHD/etc.
