they didn't release many volumes when taht was taken and the anime was stuck in filler >_> and maybe alot of people just didn't like the war arc.

The war arc in general is boring. The hypest moments was Sasuke's moment in the rain, Edo Tensei Madara reveal, and BM Naruto reveal. That has been the best moments in this War Arc.

Then the few scenes from Madara vs 5 Kage.. like Susano'o clones, Flower Tree Word, Perfect Susano'o.. besides that the arc has been "Meh". It's good, but it's not exciting anymore.

The current arc isn't that good and the state of the anime probably deterred many from continuing on reading Naruto (hence the drop in sales).

simple, it lost it's popularity .................

naruto is a good series but to be honest it offers nothing special (overused plot of reaching world peace with no serious memorable twists) the only great things about this series are some of the well written characters like Uchiha Itachi for example (when they are gone, it becomes dull).

also the war arc is seriously disappointing U_U.

New popular mangas and the fact that this whole war and Juubi shit has been going on for nearly two years.

Filler season killed the manga. People were just so uninterested in Naruto as a whole they jsut stopped reading. Plus things like Shingeki no Kyujin came out.

Naruto sales would have definitely increased after the four hokages were resurrected IMO. the manga got pace after four hokages were revived . other than that,Itachis actions,PS,Uchiha madara etc should have boosted the sales

I dont get how fillers in anime (which is is crappy either way) could make people stop reading manga.

the essence of martial arts based mangas is the one VS one equal fights,the war arc hasn't any of these,it's basically a godlike figure powning others to the ground.most of the fights were rushed and sometimes overlooked(edo fights).
the madara VS kages was arguably boring,kages attack,madara uses susanoo to tank,that was the battle in a nutshell.some people may orgasm over seeing madara acting arrogant being a lame Alucard rip-off, but sure won't appreciate a one-sided battle because it's boring to the extreme.
tobi VS naruto & co was meh,not really good it has its ups and downs,but still got bored of them trying over and over to get past kamui.
uchiha bros VS kabuto was a troll,kabuto has a sh!tload of moves,he just kept showing his jutsu arsenal one after one without any intelligent combinations,and izanami completely ruined it,if kishi made them fight kabuto with killing intent and make him stop ET when he's at his weakest state it would have been way much better.
the allinace VS madara obito was complete troll,at first the alliance's cobined jutsus were able to push the juunbi and restrict it,then few chapters later they're struggling against a big fire jutsu despite being powered up,that's freaking awful writing.
not to mention obito's constant rin flashbacks are getting annoying after each week.
the only positive point about this war was the hashirama flashback.
