After reading todays chapter, I'm thinking that the finale will be that Naruto dies in order to protect Sasuke & Sasuke will rule Konoha with a renewed Will of Fire. I'm not liking it, but its what im reading between the lines.
This is gold for text analysts! It was Itachi words to Naruto, he wants Naruto to take care of his brother, and Naruto has already been acknowledged. Now Naruto needs Sasuke to acknowledge him in order to become hokage. This could potentially be through one last fight?
