Should they try to do more with Naruto?

Expand the universe and make it bigger. like the Marvel Universe. It started off with just Spiderman, X-Men, and the original Avengers.. Then they started expanding every character and their universe and now everyone has a huge back story and they keep adding new characters to make it fresh and it just gets better and better. They should hire more writers and artists after Part Two ends and really just blow this thing up to epic proportions. They can stretch this out for a long time and even make live action movies the way Marvel did. Wouldn't you love to see Justin Bieber be Naruto in a few years?(JK)

i guess so....but not too much...it would ruin the manga...

that wont ever happen in america

I could see this getting really big if they tried. They should take a look at what Marvel did with the Avengers and see themselves in that role in a couple years.

Give Lee, Shikamaru, Neji, Gaara, Darui, Itachi, and other fan faves who can sell mangas their own series and take it to the stars.

Perhaps, but the problem with expanding a franchise is that it becomes long-winded.
It would be nice to see a few short spin-offs from the series, but I personally wouldn't like to still see Naruto continuing in 5 years time.

Also, the live-action movies would inevitably suuuuck. xd

No, I don't think so. That's not the way Shonen Jump operates. I like limited stories.

It'd be cool, i'd like to see Sora again

Thanks. It is still one of my favorite scenes and Sasuke busted out his cool giant shuriken move for the first time.

But that's silly though. Marvel proved that continuity is more profitable AND creates deeper and long lasting characters. I want to see the same characters for 10-20 years and see them take on newer and newer challenges and grow as people.

personally I'd love it, I'd love a prequel where we see ALL the older hokage's stories, whole seasons in fact.

I'd love a mini arc where Naruto's Hokage and is just off doing whatever while we see Lee surpassing Gai, and what Naruto plans to do with the hyuuga's branch family and stuff, I'd watch for 10 more years if it lasted that long.

Will they suck though? Because lately comic book movies have been getting pretty good. Look at Batman TDK and TDKR and Avengers, Iron Man, Captain America, etc. They are all really good. A Naruto movie would be epic. But first they need to grow the universe. Then later they can make a Naruto movie, a Sasuke movie, a Gaara movie, a Neji movie, and a Lee movie. Then they can have one super movie(like the Avengers), and make it awesome!

Shounen hit lightning in a bottle with Naruto and they should be smart and stick with it and nurture it further to its highest potential.
