Do you feel like Kishi rushed the Naruto v. Sasuke fight?

[Narusuke Uchimaki]

It's like he was about to end the series with everyone happy and whatnot but then he remembered Naruto and Sasuke had to fight so he made Sasuke seal the beasts to give Naruto a reason to fight him.​

 

[saw2097]

No, he has been beating it into the ground it would happen and it would be the final event of the series.

And he foreshadowed it throughout the entire manga.

 

[PyRoxGoD]

I wished it would happen like in another day so ppl don't make excuses when either loses like they did when naruto lost at oro hideout saying he was tired or at vote too

 

[Dantee]

I feel like that might be a reason why Kaguya was so poorly done. Or maybe her story isn't finished yet.

 

[BlazeRelease]

Actually the situation is flawlessly put together.
They both want to change the world.
Now it's truth (sasuke) vs ideals (naruto)

 

[Brenkuto24]

Absofreakingloutly....

 

[patricialicious]

only slightly, i feel more like he wasted time with kaguya than he rushed the sauce nardo fight.

i feel like it should have played out a bit smoother. they beat madara then sauce reveals his plan leading to an epic final brawl. sadly the final brawl will most likely very short.

These are the most recent examples that foreshadow conflict between Naruto and Sasuke. There are more, but I think you get the point. This was planned, not rushed.

Agreed. There was no reason to introduce Kaguya outside of Flashbacks.​

i could have lived without her mention at all she served no purpose other than to further convolute and already convoluted story

 

[patrickscott]

everything after the Pain arc was rushed IMO.

She was only needed in the story of the God Tree fruit and should of served no purpose at all after that.
They should of treated her like Izuna from then on.​

 

[Cfighter]

I don't feel like the fight was rushed too, I feel like the Kaguya fight was filler and was completely unnecessary. Knowing that the Kaguya fight was just going to turn into the Naruto vs Sasuke fight, I feel like it would have been a MUCH smoother transition keeping Madara as the "final" villain instead of him being overtaken by Kaguya; just about everything Kaguya did, Kishi could have had Madara do it with his own goals. Naruto and Sasuke team up to defeat Madara -would have added a new level of symbolic irony as well, knowing how Sasuke turns out- and then Sasuke turns on Naruto. Simple, effective, gets the point across without adding all the forced history lessons about Kaguya being sealed by her own sons.

 

[WalksInShadows]

even if he did, i give Kishimoto props for figuring out a way to make it fit in the turn of events w/o there being some kind of awkward silence going on first.

Been waiting for this fight but I wanted sasuke to just be good and go back to the leaf

true but the god tree thing feels like an after thought. kishi was all "btw guys remeber that giant monster i split into ninths and turned into the moon..........well that thing use to be a tree"

 

[Naruto5octobre]

changing the world through hitler ideals it's not evolution

 

[Angelic.]

its a good time with everyone out of the way, but it felt forced.

flawless???????

you dont literature do you????

 

[GhostProject]

I thought this moment in particular was well put together. It feels like Kishi is on track with where he really wants the story to be at.

I criticize the whole Kaguya arc strongly, however, I feel this Naruto vs Sasuke buildup has perfect pacing.
