Now with the story complete, are you satisfied with Naruto's epic tale?

Are you satisfied with the manga? Or just the story in general. I am, I mean not everything about the war arc was perfect but I was still impressed by it tbh, from the great character designs to the intricate storytelling I was extremely interested by every turn of events and much of the things that happened were no short of epic. I even loved the ending with Naruto and Sasuke, it really drove home how hope can overcome hatred, it's really powerful how Naruto saved his friend Sasuke because unlike the other enemies turned friends, Sasuke was different and was a friend turned enemy who had really stubborn goals. But even when it made so much sense to kill Sasuke that even the audience was begging for it, Naruto was determined to prove to himself that hope can overcome conflict because otherwise he believed his aspirations as Hokage were futile. Kaguya was also a really interesting and mysterious way to end the story, I actually like how not everything about her was revealed, and was a departure from all the explosions and massive attacks from the Juubi fight while still being extremely deadly.

I'm so looking forward to seeing the rest of the anime and playing the final Ninja Storm game, and using all the newest characters in online tournaments. Also can't wait to see the Boruto movie and read the mini series.

I am satisfied with the ending but I hate these parts

*Edo Nagato was quickly taken out too quickly (Nagato was fricking beast and he could have showed us more power)

*Obito getting TNJ'D

*Kabuto losing his fight even though by feats he can slaughter Itachi

*hate DMS Kakashi and how he got DMS

*Sasuke's stupid mood swings

*Madara getting taken out by a dirty sneek attack and he was taken just when he was at his prime

*Kakashi defeating Obito even though the latter let him win

Also chapter 700 and The Last was boring as ****

I didn't have an issue with any of those except Kakashi beating Obito, that didn't make a lot of sense at all, but was awesome in the anime. And I thought The Last was cool, but I only watched the second half on a badly filmed youtube video.

The final chapter was ok, but the war was terribly written, their were some good parts, like when Madara first came and when ego itachi fought kabuto and team 7 reunion and etc, but it mostly sucked

Not really, just as unsatisfied as I was with part 1. Too many things were either rushed, ignored, or just not important enough for Kishi to show or properly explain. Still wondering: how chakra got infused into every person where they would die without (despite being without it in the beginning), what Kaguya's reasoning for an army was or why she even came to the planet, and the overall timeline of Kaguya becoming the juubi (did that have an effect on her), when her sons sealed her, when Hamura left to the moon, and when Hagoromo made the moon. I'm still unsatisfied with the lackluster character development of majority of everyone not uchiha.

Glad how things turned out, but overall I wanted more details to the results...

Your question shows your bias. lol Good try.

OT: No, not at all. Are you talking about Part 1, Shippuden, or both? Shippuden, obviously, sucked because Kishi didn't have Togashi's material to rip off of. Part 1 was ok. The whole thing is a good 6/10, maybe.

Quite satisfied. I liked the fact that Madara was not the final villain as it was something no one expected. The one thing Kishimoto did best was do things unexpectedly. Not that Kaguya's involvement in the manga was amazing, but it was a nice change of pace.

I did find Sasuke's revelations at the end of the manga interesting, but I think it was semi-anticlimactic. In various interviews, Kishi always alluded to some big discoveries involving Sasuke as yet to be revealed. Turns out the only secret about Sasuke is that he was as jealous of Naruto as Naruto was of him from the start.

The war had some very weak aspects and plot consistency was stretched quite a bit. Yet overall it was positive and often riveting.

Hunter x Hunter has a terrible story structure

I think the revelations was his ultimate goal and also how he really felt about Naruto all this time, although he had already said Naruto was his best friend in VoE part 1

The whole ending.

Not seeing Naruto BECOMING Hokage...All I saw in the last chapter are kids not Naruto....I'v been waiting 9 years to see the endig and I saw nothing...
Well we knew he was guaranteed that position of a while now, I'm happy enough with the village throwing him in the air at the end of the Pain Arc and him becoming a celebrity.

I enjoyed it even though certain things weren't explained example I wished we could have known or seen more of the history of the Uzumaki clan. Why? I wanted to know more about them power wise. Yes we know that sealing jutsu but seeing it is different then hearing about it.

War arc was too dragged on. Not enough landscape change and genuinly interesting battles. Tobi was a much better villain with mask on . Started a war cause rin died,extremly lame. Asspulls left and right. Kaguya coming out of nowhere for 12 chapters before being defeated. Sakura being relevant in her defat. Final naruto vs sasuke fight was short and there was not much in terms of tactics. Sasukes redemption was rushed and to be fair he did have a point.

Overall I like naruto but was not satisfied with the ending

Nope, I am not satisfied unfortunately, as there are too many unanswered questions such as;

1. Why did Hashirama have the Wood release Kekkei Genkai and no other Senju? It would have made more sense him having this, with him being the inheritor of Asura chakra i.e. that was one of the perks.

2. Why was Nagato the only one who could house Madara's Rinnegan ? Is this related to him being an Uzumaki ? Or have I missed the part where this was explained ?

3. What was the purpose of the castle/palace in all the dimensions ?

4. Why was Naruto nerf'd in The Last Movie, retarded to be honest. It would have made more sense, him not being at full power due to the loss of his arm until it was healed.

5. The ending actually really sucked donkey balls. A better ending would have been, all the shinobi (inc Gokages past and present) acknowledging Naruto, maybe bowing to him at the end when they all woke up, similar to the Pain arc and seeing him being made Hokage.

6. No explanation on anyone informing all Shinobi of what Itachi did. It would have been better imo for Naruto to state at the end of the war that Itachi is the real hero and this would have been a better method of turning Sasuke. Also, have all the villages acknowledge Itachi and maybe see his face near the Hokage Mt. Rushmore ?

7. Naruto's with all his chanka control towards the end, failed to show any new jutsu instead it was lame ass Rasengan alts and a reverse sexy jutsu.

I completely agree, way too much about these children. One page of sasuke and like 3 pages of Naruto. I didn't know the story was already called boruto

the only issues i have are relatively small ones, so i guess i was fairly satisfied with how things played out.

honestly, that wasn't even a secret since it was written all over Sasuke's face and body language even in P1 that he envied Naruto.

No, not really.

- Power scaling went through the roof. At first, Kakashi couldn´t use his sharingan for more than three minutes or so, in the end, everyone was a planet buster. Meh.

- I liked the story, but I would change it all after Pain´s attack. That was the last good arc for me.

- War arc was really bad. People could´ve died. Something could´ve happened. Instead, we got ET and some measly battles. Meh.

- Kishi is terrible in handling love affairs.

- MC just spamming one skill, slightly upgrading it, spamming it again. Also, I like when the MC wins with wits, not with infinite energy and spam -_-

Overall, I really liked the settings and some characters, but as I am older, the tale lost the appeal for me. And as longer that was, the worse that was.

I give it a solid 6/10, and that's being generous.

There were parts of the story that were awesome, but there are a mountain of problems with it as a whole.
