I started watching Naruto back in 2003 and fast forward 5 years to 2008 and the whole Narturo thing is still running. Comics and anime are still released every week without no sign of stopping and god knows whether there will be any official dates or plans that this story will ever end.
Most of my friends of the same age started watching while they were in university. Most of us think that 2003 and 2004 were the really good years for the Naruto franchise, where the anime storyline followed pretty much what the comics were doing. 2005 and 2006 were a bit terrible where the anime creators decided to branch out from just following the comics and have their own take in pursuing their own storyline, which I personally think sucks big time.
Things got a bit better in 2007 and 2008 when Naruto finally came back to live with Naruto Shippuden. Although I occassionally still take a peep while my housemates are watching it, but too bad, it doesn’t feel the same while I was watching it back in 2003. I’m not the same young kid back in those days anymore. We grew up.
However, there’s definately one thing that I don’t want to miss. The ending. There were several versions of predictions of the ending that I’ve read long long time ago. Who knows, it may take another 5 years before it will ever have an ending.
I always follow up Naruto from manga. But I think there should be some different story line between manga and anime.
ya this year before naruto shippuden was really damn boring. Lol…. still long to end lo..
Well i do keep track of both the naruto manga and the naruto shippuden series from what i have seen and read both seem to be going in the same direction towards the same outcome. manga 440 naruto finds out the 4th was his dad and ,thus reseals the nine tails returning to his normal self. however standing upside down in/on the stubakiomai (false moon/gravitational distortion) naruto looks like he had never been in any type of a fight even though previously he had been beaten down sevearly while taking out 5 of the 6 paths of pain with pain and nagato being the last left. from what i have read about tobi being madara uchiha , and sauske killing off his brother leaving only sauske and tobi/madara as the two people with sharingan left. with the revelation that tobi was the one controlling the 9 tails when it attacked the leaf village leads me to the conclusion that the shippuden episodes will either end with a battle of naruto vs tobi sauske will loose both of his eyes to tobi and naruto will become so strong that he will be able to controll the 9 tails chakra with such skill and power that tobi will be outmatched. it will probably end with tobi and naruto being sucked into the god realm world trapped for all of eternity cause without the tailed beasts there would be a chance for peace that could be one way in wich naruto finds to bring peace to everything
It’s been like soooo long since I follow Naruto, and I think it’s time to maybe start looking back at it again
Personally I hope the series never ends. But we all know the saying “all good things must come to and end”. I don’t know how it will all end but it deservers a happy one to inspire hope. I do hope that Naruto realizes his dream of becoming hokage and convinces Sasuke to return to the village. My prediction for the future is Naruto convincing Sasuke to turn from the path of vengeance and they both defeat Tobi / Madara together.
Omg i hope naruto ends soon! i love it but i dont want to grow out of it before it ends you know? i started watching it when i was 13 or something but when the fillers started i stoped because they’re pretty stupid and 3 yrs later i started again lol it kind of worked out well, prt 2 is way better now that they’re older….
but i read the manga online this time because the internet runs to slow to watch the program…manga is soooo much better!!!
ive caught up with it now tho and have to wait 4 each new chapter…so annoying…
i really want to know what happens..so i hope it ends soon :/
alot of people who used to love naruto are just to old for it now and thats sad coz its just getting good?
im 17 now iand i friggen know i wont be able to read it when im 20 sooo please end soooon
Well i think that , in the end Naruto and Sasuke the Prophecy children will end up fighting , and after one REALLY awesome fight sasuke will truly find his enemy – MADARA, and with the help of naruto they will kill him, but i also think that in the end naruto will die, and sasuke will leave up to his dream – being the new Hokage,
And my second guess is , sasuke will die by giving up his Eyes to naruto and that way naruto will have the body and the eyes of his Ancestor (for those who don’t read the manga this will be really confusing)!
It has been a really long time since I’ve read a naruto manga! You have some good imagination there though.
I reckon that Naruto will realise his dream and be the first to jump from genin to hokage without ever being any of the inbetweens.
Dude, Naruto has already surpassed every previous Hokage including the fourth. In the manga that is. The only ones who are a match for naruto are currently madara and sasuke.
the best carachter is orichemaro and i didnt like it when he was killed , i hope the writer revive him back
Well I think the writer is planning a revival. But more of that when the anime catches up.
HAHA about Oruchimaro … I read the manga but i watch the anime too , so i don’t know how many of you watch it but Orochimaro’s assistnat Kabuto grafted one of orochimaros hands to his body (instead one of his) and he is even by now slowly consumed (in the manga) so Orochimaro will return
But there is one thing that i can’t get… See Sakura is Tsunade’s apprentice , Sasuke is Orochimaro’s and Naruto is Jiraya’s (as you all know) so if by the end Tsunade wake up from her current coma (in the manga) and if Orochimaro consumes entirely Kabutos body … how will Jiraya get back .. after all nobody found his dead body.. maby he used some kind of ULTRA MEGA SAGE techinque and he is still alive ?? I don’t know but i bet it will be really cool
That is true, maybe they would maintain the symbolizm and bring Jiraya back, however I doubt it. It would destroy the focus of the new generation of Sasuke, Naruto and Sakura. One Naruto theme which has thoroughly progressed, is that the older generation is replaced by that of the newer generation. Kakashi himself said this. Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura have all surpassed the previous Sannin already.
It is not about surpassing the elder ones , it’s about having the elder ones to pass down their knolwedge to the young ones, Sakura Sasuke and Naruto are heading for the Best Ninjas in the world (we are talking about the manga after all) and being the best they should carry some weight on their sholders , probably in the end 1-2 or all of them will die and there comes Jiraya to tell their life stories in his Books …
but we are not the ones to decide the end of this Incredible Anime , so we can only make guesses 
shinigami me and you we can talk about naruto for like months
I guess what i wanted to say is that the Anime is about Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura but that doesn’t mean that after they deal with all of the evil in their world they should stay alive , most likely the old characters will be the survivours :/
ARgh i can’t stop my self so i will wait for your new post

@O@ SQUEAK!
@Squeak
You must be a very passionate Naruto fan to list that much questions in a go!
a devoted naruto fan..
its going to be a sad day when naruto finishes
LoL man , you’ve got a lot of questions , for now i can only answear ot some of them!
(1) Probably killing someone verry important for the upcoming story (or just an unknown yet character with alot of importance for the story)
(2) That story was covered up already , a great ninja ,who fought in the great ninja war , and he killed the son of Chiyo..
(3) He was a Hokage after all … powerfull jutsu is not something we can pretend to accept that he did …
(10) He want’s total domination , and he hates Tsunade because she is the grand daughter of the 1 hokage.
(11) 100% – when “Taka” assault Konoha
(12) It’s because of Naruto , if Sarutobi left his possition to someone else who was not that involved with the “Naruto drama” , The main character could’t be pushed forwards in the storry.. It can’t be anything else …
(13) Orochimaro is slowly consuming Kabuto’s body :] soo he’ll be back .. for sure :]
(14) For me … Jiraya is not dead , or atleast if he died , he will be back !!
Tsunade will wake up from the coma, Orochimaro will consume Kabuto, it’s only fair that Jiraya will get back.
(18) THAT IS THE MOST INTERESTING!!!!! I searched for some clues aaand here it is –
“In Japanese Shinto-mythology, the primordial sky, the god of all that is light and heavenly. Izanagi (“the male who invites” and his wife and sister Izanami (“the female who invites” were given the task of creating the world. Standing on Ama-no-ukihashi (the floating bridge of the heavens), they plunged a jewel crested spear into the ocean. When they pulled it free, the water that dripped from the spear coagulated and formed the first island of the Japanese archipelago. Here the first gods and humans were born.
When his wife died giving birth, Izanagi went to the underworld to retrieve her, but she refused to come back with him and they parted forever. When Iganami returned from the underworld, he started the first cleaning rites. He washed his left eye and thus created the sun goddess Amaterasu. When he washed his right eye, the moon goddess Tsuki-yomi came forth. From his nose he created Susanowa, the god of the seas and the storms. ”
So basicly , there has to be another ultimate power !
(20) DEFINETLY
(30) There was a whole story about that man.. The great ninja who possesed the Ultymate eyes had 2 sons, 1 of them inherited the eye techniques and the other one , the body and the spirit .. these are the ancestors of the Uchiha clan and the 1st Hokage’s clan ….
(33) 2 goals – 1st To get revange on Uchiha clan (which Itachi did for him)
2nd – To get revange on Konoha (which he hopes that sasuke and “taka” will do)
(37) Hatake Kakashi
(41) PLEASE SOMEONE TELL ME THE STORY BEHIND THAT … I’ve read it on several sites and i can’t understand it
I know that Itachi bestow his powers on Sasuke , but what is this thing about bestoling powers in Naruto ?!?! Did i missed something ???
(47) He is like Lord Voldemor (in Harry Potter) he’s soul was placed at several places , and i already answeared the question about taking over Kabuto.
(45 & 54) Same questions .. It’ll be interesting to see that :]
(61) His clan can’t possibly be restored , as for now there are porbably 3 Uchicha survivors – Sasuke , Madara and Itachi (judging by 477 manga chapter) , soo Madara as the bad guy will die for sure , and it leaves to Sasuke and Itachi . Itachi is probably the Niciest guy but his life is a mess so i guess he will die dramaticly … and for Sasuke , what can he do ? Start a family , and he’s got to do like 10 babies so that there is a possibilty to start a new clan … I don’t think that this is the main idea here
(phew) now that was one hell of a message
well, I just found a naruto manga in a japanese language (dont know what chapter is that) but i think its too far, it saids that konohamaru will be against with naruto because of choosing naruto as a hokagen and he will make a team which has a logo of red clouds using it against naruto
LOL man , you’re so far behind in the manga, and i am 100% sure that some of this story you’ve made up, the red clouds is called “Akutski” and the rest is just your imagination
wow the story is amazing but you guys are waaaaay to passionate. but you do have some great questions and additions to the story. I dont read the manga so i really cant add anything myself
