Honestly I hope he does, I mean wtf do ppl mean it's repetitive, if you don't like it, don't watch it. But truth be told I hope he does something to take charge of the fillers, fillers are an anime's worst enemy right now, Naruto's fillers are BORING in all caps, it is a chore to watch an ep, although I'll admit battleship island was the last I watched.
I'm waitin on the main storyline to come back around, but I'd love to see the series foccus on the next generation with the current generation as guardians, like how guy and Asuma and Kurenai are.
I agree with everything you said in this post...and are you guys serious? their is A LOT to explore still I mean I will list them:
1. Naruto went to mount myokubu (the toad place I cant remember what its called maybe it is mount myokubu) but what about the other summons worlds? like apes and snakes for instance...seriously it could be an entirely new adventure in those worlds! with animal villains! that would be awsome totally new worlds to discover and totally new possibilities for characters!
2. Their are so many new ideas I can think of in my mind alone for new types of kekkai genkai, I mean really the possibilities their are still plenty
3. Also naruto has focused mainly on ninja but their have been samurai, pirates and other things such as that so their are many other possibilities for types of warriors
4.The bijuu...maybe they have their own world and their are many more? like not just tailed beasts but totally different kinds? a lot of possibilities their
If I had more time to think I guarantee you I could think of so many new possibilities/reasons for new characters,plots and worlds to discover...another series after naruto shippuden would be epic...also consider the fact naruto is only like 16 and kakashi and others are in there 30's and still young and powerful so narutos got many years ahead of him before he really starts slowing down...so much time for things to happen, I mean after shippudens over and if hes still 16 do you really think the next 60 something years of his life (although he might live a lot longer since he has kyuubi Idk) are going to be boring and event-less?
