Since Naruto is coming to a close this year I have been thinking about how it should end. One nasty thought occurred to me, what if Kishimoto leaves everything up in the air? I think some people would be satisfied with that, but I for one wouldn't be. I find that authors who leave such things ambiguous cheapen their writings. I read because I want to know the story they are telling, if I wanted to make my own up then I would just write myself. Plus I also find that its the easy way out. For instance, decisions that will piss a huge number of fans off if is doesn't go the way they hope: pairings, political status, character conclusions its all just sidestepped. Overall I would prefer to have an ending that I wasn't very happy with, then an ending were he tells me to make it up myself.
