My concern is that Kishimoto is really just making this series a little too stale and predictable lately.

EDIT: For instance, it's just way WAY too obvious Naruto will meet the Sage soon...

Yeah :p compared to Bleach and OP the manga is very predictable :p in Bleach none believed that Yachiru will show her Shikai and Kenpachi will come back any soon, in OP Sabo just suddenly appeared BM shows up at SH crew's ship :p

I agree. Of course it is impossible to predict everything, but one can predict most of the main things that will happen in the manga.

That's why he said "lately" as in recently. Obviously no one can predict something from 400 chapters back.

I think the opposite... if you follow this forum you would see
There are MANY users screaming around that their theories did not become reality and that the manga is sh*t because of that.

i mean thats one thing. the way this arc went (naruto dying and meeting the sage) was always meant to happen IMO, i had always imagined hed lose kurama somehow and not once did i not lose hold to my claim. but yeah u couldnt predict anything in the beginning seriously. how many people really predicted itachi would be a good guy? or that dragon sage mode kabuto was going to be a threat? or that tobi was obito? i know plenty of people once predicted it but this stupid ass site blinded people from seeing it and we eventually just made our own stupid predictions and gave up our claim. Nagato was uzumaki? Yeah didnt see that coming. What else? Itachi's OP sussano, i thought hed be dead for sure once getting hit by kirin.


can u really predict what will happen after the war? no cause thats a shitload of different scenarios and by not sticking to one scenario youre not really making a prediction. the only thing i can predict after the war is sasuke will have a 2 on 1 talk with the leaf elders. maybe sasuke kills them secretly and everyone in the village suspects its him who did it cause they just happen to go missing and naruto is the only one who doesnt believe it and then they end up fighting because sasuke is still bad and killed them. wouldnt want the killing of elders part to happen though.

I can guarantee it's because of the forum not the series. All the theories, someone has to be right.

The series is near it's end. And after all..with each piece of information that comes along with each chapter..more and more of the ending is revealed and the ways things can go down gets less and less.

Imagine it like a Jig Saw puzzle. When the puzzle is near completion..You can almost very clearly guess what it is about. When most of the pieces are fixed up..You would know..hey this piece goes here and that piece goes there..

Or you can also compare it with a book. When you are 3 quarters through the final chapter..you should know how the loose ends will be tied up. You are only feeling like this , because of the mere fact that we are getting only a little each week. It is like having half a page told to you each time and so with eaching passing chapter..you would probrably feel "Hey..I expected this" more and more often.

This is exactly what is happening with Naruto. Ever since the ending of the series is getting panned out..it should be obvious.

If you were to read the manga from beginning to end once it had ended entirely..You would find that it has a decent flow and explanation.

No offense attempt... but we are already in the end of the series, we are in a point where everything has to be revealed already. So your criticism is... is just wrong. Putting more mysteries right now would be bad writting.

i agree whole heartedly..I somehow feel that narutoblitz judgement is so skewed that i am rather shocked

He either had not read extensively enough on various literature or..I dunno..He had a bad day and is not thinking straight =/

It's been foreshadowed for a long time. Still, no it is not predictable and no, Naruto is not going to meet the Sage right this moment.

No Naruto is not predictable at all.

Sasuke - is he predictable? No

Definitely. Also we can all conclude that the person within spiral zetsu is indeed Yamato. It was also a given that the mysterious person behind Sasuke would've been Kabuto [ it was only logical ].

Ever since Tobi turned out to be Obito Uchiha which i had also assumed...i doubt anything, the first logical guess would be correct..

Well,if basically after every chapter if u discuss it whole week in a forum with 1000 others where the theories just keeps popping up randomly by random members then it's obvious that sm1 is bound to hit the spot. Also the story is at the end i guess.
