NARUTO: Number 699 - The Seal of Reconciliation
RELEASED: NOVEMBER 10, 2014 (JAPAN)
TO THEIR SOULS OVERLAPPING BEGINS NOW...
THE LONG OVERDUE ROAD...
FATE REACHES ITS FINAL DESTINATION HERE AND NOW. WELCOME TO THE STUNNING CONCLUSION DOUBLE-ISSUE! COLOR OPENING!
Hashirama and Madara statues were holing each other's hands? I didn't know...
As predicted by fans, Sakura has come heal Sasuke & Naruto. And this time, Sasuke says: I'm sorry! to Sakura!!!...he never ever...said that, till now!
And now, Sasuke and Naruto's bond is greater than ever. They are holding each other hand and they dispelled the Infinite Tsukuyomi. Finally!!! It has been some time...
Everyone has awakened from their dreams (The Five Kages, Tenten, Shino, Shikamaru, Ino, Hinata, Kiba, Suigetsu, Jugo, Iruka, Choji and many others)...except for Guy...which looks like he's dead, but he isn't...he hasn't recovered yet since his Last Battle with Madara.
Even Orochimaru and Kabuto are back to life, but it looks like they won't do anything harmful anymore against Konoha. They are the "good shinobi" now. Too bad!
Nevertheless, Yamato is back in the world of the living, Long Time No see, Yamato!!! SpiralZetsu (Guruguru) has crumbled to death. I could include him as the last villain in NARUTO. Seems right...right? He was the last villain. He died after Madara & Kaguya.
![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
( noo!! Guruguru has died. Bye, Zetsu's clone! You were a quite fascinating! The last villain of NARUTO has died.

(
After the war is finally over and everyone is safe...*I knew somehow, this exactly would happen*. The shinobi's share some moments with Neji Hyuuga, who died in the war. Rest in Peace, Neji, you were a great shinobi! Your actions in the war were valued greatly!
Time-skip: SURPRISE!!! OR NOT? Hatake Hakashi is the new Hokage!!! Hatake Kakashi is the Sixth Hokage of the Hidden Leaf. Great choice, indeed! He has many qualities of this position: leadership, knowledge, skill and many many others.
Honestly, he should have been Hokage Waaay earlier!!
Sasuke is free! That means he isn't declared a missing-nin anymore. He has been forgiven for his aid in the war.
At last, Sasuke is happy! He finally redeemed himself and understood Itachi's actions. I bet he feels sorry for killing him.
He touches Sakura's forehead just like Itachi did with himself...nice moment!
Naruto and Sasuke smiling, AMAZING, JUST AMAZING! Haven't seen these faces since ...since the beginning! But oh, wait! They never understood each other's feeling like they do now. And even when they were in Team 7 they weren't in such harmony!
Uzumaki Naruto retriving Sasuke's Konoha headband...a kindess act (meaning of this: Naruto giving back Sasuke's headband means Sasuke is always welcome back in Konoha.
He is and always be a Konoha shinobi).
GREAT CHAPTER!!!! RATE: 10/10
ONE OF THE BEST NARUTO'S CHAPTERS! I knew Kishimoto wouldn't dissapoint us. He said some weeks ago that he will do his best, and he did! Way to go, Kishimoto!
This has been the last black & white chapter of Naruto. Next chapter is the last, full-colored.
It has been 15 years of NARUTO MANGA. 15 YEARS!
NARUTO: Number 700 *FINAL* - UZUMAKI NARUTO!!
RELEASED: NOVEMBER 10, 2014 (JAPAN)
This happens after the movie Last.
Time-Skip: Naruto is a parent now. He has a boy, Boruto + Himawari, a girl.
Naruto & Hinata are parents. Sakura & Sasuke. Wow? I thought Sasuke didn't liked Sakura. He always rejected her. Anyway, their child is Sarada Uchiha.
Shikamaru & Temari. Their child is Shikadai Nara, he looks just like Shikamaru.
Sai & Ino. That was unexpected! We never seen them togheter...or I missed? Their child is Inojin Yamanaka.
Choji looks like a viking and he's with Karui...
Kakashi is not Hokage anymore...Guy on a wheelchair? What happend to him? He didn't fully recovered since his last battle with Madara?
Oonoki is still alive? Wow. This guy meet Madara when he was young and he's still alive. The other past Kages doesn't seem like they got older...only their clothes looks "old"?
Shikamaru is more and more just like his fater, Shikaku. Maybe too much!
Boruto painted the Hokage's head statues, calling Hashirama idiot, Tobirama dork, Hiruzen pervert, Minato geezer and Tsunade old had.
Konohamaru is a jounin now, Boruto-s sensei.
Finally, it has been revealed! Naruto Uzumaki is finally Hokage, the Seventh Hokage! He finally achieved his dream!
Sasuke, despite his shocking declarations is not elected Hokage. He didn't fulfilled his "Revolution". Probably he accepted Naruto as Hokage instead of him?
The Fourth Tsuchikage is Kurotsuchi, really? Is she that strong? Isn't anyone better than her in the Hidden Stone Village?
Sixth Mizukage is Chojuro, the last member of the Seven Ninja of the Swordsmen Mist.
Darui, Fifth Hokage. He was A's right hand, so...
From the last page of the chapter *had to copy this*
Once upon a time, there was a great fox spirit with nine tails.
The Fox was sealed away inside a ninja child, and over the long passing of time together, the two became close.
The boy with the fox spirit sealed inside of him was the son of the Fourth Hokage. He is now known as the Seventh Hokage.
A new terror came in the form of the Ten-Tails being revived, but the child had become a real ninja, and together with the fox spirit, they became one and were able to seal the Ten-Tails away.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR LOVING SUPPORT FOR OUR BELOVED STORY OVER THESE 15 YEARS!!
Volume 72 will be released in the first week of February 2014. Volume 72 will be the last volume of NARUTO. Plot: The last battle between Sasuke & Naruto + Epilogue.
NARUTO: 1999 - 2014.
NARUTO, NOVEMBER 10, 2014. LAST NARUTO MANGA.
By the way, NARUTO isn't officially over, because NARUTO PART 3 has been announced. It will be a mini series with the next generation. Coming Spring 2015.
Ugh! I thought that there won't be a Part III. I know some fans are dissappointed, but let's wait, commentaries later!
Some notes:
The final page of the chapter mirrors the first page of the series. The first telling the story of how Kurama became sealed into Naruto and the latter telling the story of Naruto's life and how he became the Seventh Hokage.
On Naruto's face on the Hokage Monument, Boruto paints the Straw Hat Pirates' jolly roger, a reference to competing Weekly Shonen Jump manga One Piece by Eiichiro Oda. In return, the cover art of One Piece's chapter 766 references Naruto, and in the week's author comments section, Oda thanks Kishimoto for being his friend and rival.
The other authors for the Weekly Shonen Jump series say their farewell words to Kishimoto for finishing his work in their weekly comments.
The timeline is set many years after The Last: Naruto the Movie.
Honestly, I'm very glad that the manga has finally ended. Years back I thought it would end in 2012, but...it's 2014, like Kishimoto said last year in the interview asked when the manga will end.
