[Predictions] Naruto Manga Chapter 698 Discussion and 699 Predictions

[N9NETAILSSAGENARUTO]

That was very cool. Aren't the arms that are blown off the ones that had the seals on them???
Now we see why narutos picture from "the last" shows His arm bandaged up.
Maybe saskue will have the same.
Very curious to see how there arms back.
Shit I'm curious to what's going on back on the field with all the kage, what the red beast looks like right now!?
Been following this anime for a long time and I hope it continues into another series with them being older and not just in the movie.
Narutos uppercut though!! I yelled out TOASTY like the lil face that pops out on the old mortal kombat game lol

I'm pretty sure Sakura with the help of that slug will fix them up...I mean how else will Kishi show that Sakura is not completely forgotten in the grand scheme of Team 7 if she's not the one to fix them for the final task: the Infinite Tsukyomi clean up?

 

[mischievousx3]

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDGE. The chapter was hella GOOD. I expected it to be bad, but the memories and Itachi being mentioned, the reasons Sasuke had (I think I'm warming up to him), it was amazeballs. I give it 10/10 <3 Funny little moment at the end there.

#Narutoforever

That chapter was so SICK! 5/5 way to go KISHI

 

[Tendou Pain]

goosebumps on this one.. loved sasuke's explanation

 

[hugocruzz]

Long time without posting here but hoping you give me the same credit as the others, thank you.

Don't take me the wrong way, I loved this chapter, but Kishi usually uses a plot twist in fights, and I think this fight ended too easily. I noticed some images it looked like the Sasuke's right eye fading, did he cast Izanami on Naruto? That's just my feeling. Is it just me or anyone had this feeling too?

It would be interesting to see in my opinion.

Feel free to reply to me agreeing or not.

Thank you, cheers.

 

[Kiiszame]

Sasuke cried.

 

[Cassosphere]

He just Lost fundamentally. But Naruto doesnt care.
He wants to ignore that concept.

sasuke is on his way to humanity and peace

Exactly! winning doesn't even matter anymore!

 

[GonFC]

This was absolutely amazing. A fitting end to the constant battle.

Naruto did eventually succeed in getting back his friend, and now they can work together to better the shinobi system.

The only thing that I want to know is about their ARMS!!!

Can someone remember if Naruto used his right of left arm to heal Kakashi's left eye?

I am sorry to say but the Sun symbol for naruto is the right arm and moon symbol for Sasuke is the left arm. I went back to the previous chapters to confirm. So basically Naruto and Sasuke lost the side that the sage gave power to them. You can also remember Sasuke's rinnegan eye is in the left side with moon symbol on his left arm. Naruto got power on the opposite side of Sasuke.

I can't believe that when both Sasuke and Naruto need medical assistance, Sakura is not there. It feels like when she can help, she is never there and when she can't help she is there. Sighhhh!

 

[kurisusama]

This chapter was an eye opener.

Not only did they lose their arms, but we find out Sasuke was the translator for the manga all along.

what do u mean by translator of the manga ?

 

[Cassosphere]

I got the real shivers on that last page.

Whew, those arms. That was awesome, Kishi.

I also really did enjoy the dialogue and flashbacks in this chapter... it goes into detail on why Sasuke acted the way he did, how he feels about Naruto which we never knew, and the same for Naruto, finding out some things he's never said before. Who woulda thought Sasuke saw Itachi in Naruto? That's insane.
5/5 love it.

I know right?! That was pretty insane and good to know!

 

[Cassosphere]

This chapter was an eye opener.

Not only did they lose their arms, but we find out Sasuke was the translator for the manga all along.

Huh? what do you mean?

 

[Cassosphere]

I wonder if Sasuke will go into hiding and Naruto will just tell people he died there like how Madara disappeared. Im really anxious to see how it all will end now and I cant wait for the last movie! So close to the end! So many unanswered questions and not enough time!

hmmm, interesting theory! It could be possible.

105/5 Holy Smokes!

The brothers are able to make the unification sign at last, after all these centuries.

The statues of Hashirama and Madara are destroyed showing us the end of the conflict of the brothers.

The Sages hope for Sasuke came to pass, finding a new love from the one he had for his mother, finding a new family and recognizing it in his own heart!

The Sage finally splitting himself between and removing himself as a JUDGE has helped shatter the historical cycles of violence.

The revolution towards peace is happening as balance is being restored.

Sasuke admits his loss to Naruto because he is unable to break his bond with Naruto.

Can we see it now? These boys, becoming men, casting aside their childhood pains to find a way to grow the world into something new
, something better, to walk ahead into a new world that they will cultivate.

Sasuke with his genius and imagination, Naruto with his will and compassion, will build a world that we can only dream of.

Now that their childhood is over they will begin the rest of their life and they will finish their work and their revolution.

Sasuke as an outsider looking in able to critique a system, a threat to feudal power, economics and abuse (keeps leadership honest).

Naruto an insider looking out, seeing Sasuke's pain and knowing that it will become everyone's if he doesn't change the system from the inside, a reformer to feudal power, economics and abuse.

Amakagure must be saved, the people of all the nations must be liberated from the impure world and its cycles of violence.

Naruto and Sasuke will spin around one another in an endless orbit, sharing their ideals from different perspective with each other
and everyone.

The spiral in the eddy is not just a spiral, it is the motion and action of two counter forces creating history, in endless cycles.

The spiral in the eddy is not created from two forces working against one another, but working with one another.

What is this new cycle going to look like? How will they balance one another? How will these young men mature? Who will they love? Whose lives will they impact? How will they cultivate their world, their lands, people? How will they ultimately live and how will they die?

We have witnessed over these three years of war the horrible death of the old era and the joyful birth of the new era.

Two brothers, locked in bond, unified by their blood, their love and their common goals of compassion and dignity.

A moment worth waiting fifteen years for.

Brilliant! Just Brilliant!

This panel will remain my favorite panels of the manga forever.

Yes! Best panel in the whole manga!

 

[Deviation]

The ending is very satisfying. I'm finally relieved that they're friends again. Though, the fight was, in my opinion, a little bit lackluster. The emotions conveyed in the ending are touching and I love it. I have one question however. What will happen to kurama? Kurama gave all his remaining chakra to naruto and he said that he'll be sleeping. What does he mean by that? Will he die?

All in all I rate this chapter 5/5 :naruto::naruto:
Well done Kishi

No Kurama will sleep until it gains full power again

As it was explained many times before, when a bijuu "dies" (probably from exhausting his chakra) he "disappears" until his chakra forms again. I think it was mentioned by Minato before to himself or Kushina when Obito had infiltrated Konoha. So yeah, he'll come back but it will take a really long time maybe longer than Naruto's lifetime.

So deep. :flowers

Well that was... suggestive?

Can anyone here even say that they didn't feel a slight breeze from the... other coast? I think Kishimoto kinda overdid it with the feelings. Male friendship isn't really that hard to understand, but i guess Naruto and Sasuke are special. I liked the talk, it just felt a tad too "powerful".

However, i really liked Sasuke finally expressing his damn feelings, even shedding a tear at the end. I also really admire Naruto for his determination to bring his best friend back. Those two are awesome, i can hardly deny it, i simply love them. And the last scene? Well, impactful is what i'd say fits it best...

Absolute 5/5. Just one more week. Then it's all over...

It probably has a bigger impact in Japan/China due to the differences in culture. I assume that displaying such feelings between two straight guys is difficult since, like Sasuke mentioned, it is a sign of weakness. Idealistically, men are supposed to be these people who aren't supposed to show any sign of weakness like emotion. You could say Sasuke represents the old way of thinking as opposed to Naruto who is this new way of thinking. At least in my opinion.

 

[BazzBee]

Crazy ****ing chapter. One I really enjoyed above all in a while. Pretty nostalgic and the last panel just made it a hell lot crazier then it already was. Loved it.

 

[kyugon]

Good chapter. 5/5
