prediction: Part three?

[Scully]

With Madara entering the war who knows how much longer the manga will actually go for, and the battle between sasuke and naruto is obviously going to be the climax of the series....but remember those rumours from early last year about a part three, what do you think would happen?

personally I think we would see the konaha 11 as jounin and fighting an all new antagonist, maybe sasuke will stay evil and create a new akautski, there is no way he is coming back to the leaf so that be interesting if part three ever goes ahead!

It seems as though the war is just about to reach its climax. That being said, I think it's unlikely that we will have a time skip during the war, if at all. If we do get a part three, it will take place after the war, probably. I would like to see all of the Konoha 11 grown up though.

I kind of get the feeling this may be the end of Naruto...

If yo look at the signs it makes it seem the most likely case. Alot of dead characters that we have only heard mentioned are now getting a chance to shine... Naruto and Sasuke are reaching the climax of their power... It seems like it's getting wrapped up... I give the series another 2-3 years.

I would LOVE to see a huge time skip post war with the K11 training genin... married off... having their own kids... That would be great... The thing is... Naruto will probably be Hokage... which means he won't be out on the field much... Also the ninja villages should be at peace which may tone down conflict. Altho' if a new akatsuki type organisation is formed, then they'll have a common enemy... It COULD work!

EDIT: If the series is going to end after this war... then I have a feeling we'll get an epilogue showing the characters older and what they are doing with themselves... DragonBall style!

I don't know how it was when the original Naruto ended before shippuuden, but I'm going to assume it was unexpected. So, please correct me if I'm wrong.

Just like bleach, Naruto has the potential to keep going on with another time skip. It may or may not follow Naruto and his friends however. It's all a matter of Kishimoto's will to continue or not. From an economic point of view, why he want to stop making TONS of money? (That's probably what Tite Kubo for Bleach is thinking) I personally don't want Naruto to end because then all I'll have left is bleach (which is awesome), and my first anime stripped from me

An epilogue makes sense and would be awesome. I hadn't thought of that. I guess it might be weird if the story continued when they're all adults, but an epilogue would solve this problem.

Maybe a prologue of Naruto, Sage of the 6 paths down to the Minato sealing half of the kyuubi in naruto's body.
