Oh yeah, and even to the very end, Kishi never addressed Hinata's confession. I mean, yeah, they got married, but technically it was never addressed.
Of course, I could say the same about quite a few other things.
Oh, and Sasuke remains Naruto's only kiss.
Is clear now that the confession is The Last Movie material.
HEROMAN… ATTACK!!
Oh yeah, and even to the very end, Kishi never addressed Hinata's confession. I mean, yeah, they got married, but technically it was never addressed.
Yeah it's kinda dumb to probably have it in the upcoming movie, instead of the actual manga.
You know, I could see Tenten becoming a villain and starting wars just to make a profit.
So a question to this thread for old times sake, what is the final two chapters ranking gonna be?
Im gonna go with "Why Neji Why" (Don´t remember the colour :P sorry)
I gotta say, I actually feel a little something now that it's officially ended. I've been with Naruto for 10 years, and it led me to a lot of other series, like One Piece. It's been with me a good chunk of my childhood and I'm a little sad, but things come to an end. So thank you and Good-Bye Naruto.
It was a long journey Naruto all the ups and downs I still kept with it till the end and I have no regrets.
! NaruHina makes me happy. I'm glad the last 2 chapters were good. I also love Lee Jr. And lastly nice to see Naruto as the Hokage in the end.
wow it really ended im happy that naruto and hinata are a thing.
-Neji gets the short stick and seems to be the only casualty of the war.
-Women overall end as housewives (since ninja wars are over that's the logical role for them, on Kishimoto's point of view)
-No one seems to remeber Jiraiya (or Orochimaru since we are at it)
-Naruto gets an artificial arm but Gai ends on a wheelchair because fuck Gai.
-Lee reproduces by mitosis like an amoeba.
Boy am I glad this crap is over.
- And… no closure on Orochimaru?
Now that you bring that up he pretty much went off the grid didn't he? same with Juugo, Karin, and Suigetsu. Didn't even show where they went to in the last chapter.

Due to Kishi not caring I decided that Orochimaru took over the Ramen Shop from his father. He focuses on delivering perfect Ramen now.
Not really. Tons of posters here believed that everything pointed towards Jiraya being alive, and that he'd appear in the end. Like, they ressurect all these super random guys, they can take genetic material from every conceivable place in the planet, no matter how secure, obscure or hidden it is, but "Jiraya drowned? Shit, can't get A SINGLE piece of his body, be it hair, nails, blood, nothing. Not even his choped arm. Nothing. So. . .the idea was that Kishi had planned a Jiraya comeback, going all "Im not dead!".
But since it never happened, yeah. Dead for good.
Also the frogs never mentioned his name going off the scroll list, ewe never saw the body, and had no actual funeral.
I still stand by the idea that he washed up on some beach somewhere and is just partying.
You know, I could see Tenten becoming a villain and starting wars just to make a profit.
Thats what masks are for, after all!
-Neji gets the short stick and seems to be the only casualty of the war.
Don't forget the other 50,000 guys that died the first day.
Cause Kishi did.

Will he be serving Salad?

Well, it's the standard treatment of women in Naruto. If they don't act like Kishimoto's mother, or whatever sick figure he had, did they get stabbed.
Maybe we should call the police.
Now that you bring that up he pretty much went off the grid didn't he? same with Juugo, Karin, and Suigetsu. Didn't even show where they went to in the last chapter.
I'll bet that after the war, Orochimaru said something to Naruto about once having wanted to be the Hokage. Years later, when asked about that bastard child of Voldemort and Mengele, all Naruto could say was "Orochimaru was the coolest guy."

Unfortunately, due to how obviously a coordinated effort the movie is going to be with heavy Kishi involvement, we really do have to wait on that to give a fair assessment on all the character wrap ups.
Anyway, as for Choji hooking up with that one chick… she wanted a tall dark handsome type. So its funny that she ended up with the opposite of what she expected.
You know what, now I want a motherfucking part 3.
Provided Kishi actually builds some damn world this time.

There will be a short series involving the kids in 2015.
Not written by Kishi too, but an assistant.
ITS FINALLY OVER!!!!!!!

Yeah, I know. That's not part 3, though, that's Naruto Babies.

No. You don't hand a serial killer a knife on the off chance that this time he'll use it to cut vegetables for the stew.
Lol, you do have a point, but I'm an optimist.
Yeah, I know. That's not part 3, though, that's Naruto Babies.
Could actually possibly turn out better than whatever kishi would have written. And don't jinx it, mini series is bad enough, a part 3 would be terrible.^^
Anyways the chapters will probably come out late tonight or early in the morning. Anyways, I enjoyed posting what information I had for you guys. Any thoughts or feelings about Naruto being Hokage? Is it satisfying?
In the defense of NH, every time a moment happened between them, it was when Naruto was in a bind. Kishi put a lot of emphasis on those scenes. Yeah, you're right about most of it though. My friend literally cried when she found out NH is happening.
For the dedicated shippers lurking around this forum, I want to applaud your perseverance and hard investment in your ships. Even though 15 years of dedication didn't pay off doesn't mean you should give up. Keep on Shipping.
This is pretty much what fucks up the entire ending. Having closure WITHOUT rationale behind it and having the readers magically just fill in the plot points. Pretty much overall lazy shitty writing.
-Chouji and what's her face meet up and have a kid. How did it happen? Who cares? You make up how it happened!
-Orochimaru randomly died off screen? How did it happen? WHO KNOWS?! You make it up!
-Gaara is now a cool looking dork? How did it happen? YOU MAKE IT UP DAMMIT!
-Anko is now fat? How did it happen? WHO KNOWS?!
-Naruto is now HOKAGE? Um….yeah, I want to know how Naruto is Hokage material at all....rather than his true calling which is a ramen stall salesman.No seriously, with time skips at least you can SEE how one can jump from one spot to another like with Hinata and Naruto thing, but everything else is just...made up on the spot.
Well, then. The ending of Naruto. 14 years of reading, 700 chapters.
I kind of wished I had felt more when reading those last two chapters. :(
Anyway, I still "kind of" liked those two chapters, if I shut down my brain that is, but whenever I saw Sasuke adnd Sakura and the whole stupid "yeah, he can go now, just don't go crazy again kay, and btw I am Hokage now for like 1/10 of a chapter, just so you know" scene with this half-assed aplogy and thanks and my brain was full on screaming BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUULLLSHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTT in my mind.^^;
The symbolism was really forced, but the symbolism I liked was the handing over of the damaged Konoha headband from the first Naruto and Sasuke fight. That was the only symbolism I liked though.
I feel like a lot of stuff is missing in those two chapters but I guess Kishi deemed those points not meaningful or important so he cut them off. Or maybe he forgot about them, could be the case as well.
Chapter 700, hah,…
I think for chapter 700 I have to explain why I started to buy naruto as a kid back then. When i had read Naruto I felt bad for him to be so hated for something he had no fault for, for something all the responsibility lies with his parents, mostly his dad. But when I readed his story I sort of admired how he didn't start to hate the world and everyone in it and instead tried to gain attention, approval, respect and love by doing whatever it takes, may it be pranks, becoming a Ninja,training hard and helping and caring for others. One of such moments which i can still remember was the Neji vs Hinata fight where Naruto screamed into the fight to get Hinata out of the mindcrap Neji had pulled her in. I liked that, I like how he got empathy with people who also felt like they had no place in the world or that the place they are in currently feels wrong to them.
Back then as a kid I already realized for myself that what Naruto wanted to be was not "hokage" which is in the end nothing but a title with lots of responsibilities and having to deal with lots and lots and lots and lots of paperwork. What Naruto wanted was a family, friends, comrades. He wanted to be accepted, be a part of a team, a community. He thought he would get all that magically by becoming the "strongest" and so gaining the Hokage title.
In other words all he wanted was somebody to tell "I love you" and add the words "just the way how you are" to said three important words.
It's why for me naruto became "disconnected" somehow after the timeskip, after Sasuke's betrayal and ofc the whole war arc mess and what not. For me I felt like Naruto, the character, was stuck in a single place, not growing up nor changing much. Sure he got more powerful, but all he did was the same as he did years ago. And that made me feel sad, disappointed and sometimes even angry at him.
I get that Naruto is his "own person" with views and ideals I might not share. But in his case I couldn't understand more and more things and at some point Naruto stopped feeling "real" to me like he did at the beginning and first part of Naruto.
The friendship with sasuke was such a point.
Friendship is, in my eyes, not a "one-way ticket". If only one person thinks he is a friend to somebody else who doesn't think the same, then that is no friendship. Friendship is about caring for each other, for listening to each other, for laughing and crying with each other, and sometimes even have some fights against or with each other, but no matter what happens in the end, a friend would be at your side, grin at you and fistbump you. Because he wants to.
With Sasuke I felt, for well obvious reasons, never that much of a friendship with Naruto. And that made me sad, not because of their "break-up" but because Naruto refuded to se sasuke as anything else but a "friend", but because over the course of the manga Naruto had tons of people besides him and behind him who would have made great friends to him as they wanted to return their friendship to him. And yet, no matter what Naruto said or did, never did anything felt like he really wanted to become friends with those people like he wanted with Sasuke.
It feels weird talking about, especially when I think back to how I readed it as a kid. As a kid I always wanted Naruto to grow out of his obssession with Sasuke and his crush of Sakura, because those relationships and feelings of his never felt "real" or "true" to me, but more like substitute for what he never had before. So we it made me sad when he was going on and on about Sasuke this and Sasuke that and never created as deep a friendship with other characters who would have been great friends compared to Sasuke who lost himself in his revenge lust and most of all, who WANTED to be his friends. :(
Which gets me to the love part. Just like friendship, a one-sided love won't work out well in a relationship if the other party does not return those feelings. Love just like friendship isn't a give, give give, thing. It's a give and be given thing. Which is what I wanted for Sakura and Naruto to realize. That what they are doing, feeling and reacting upon those feelings won't be healthy to them nor will make them happy. I wanted Sakura to not onyl question her feelings but also to decide that those feelings, while inside her, are not "good" for her. Felings can be a cancer as much as a source of happiness. I wanted her to give up on sasuke and REALLY face him with everything she got to push Sasuke back n a way he would have not expected of the weak girl who he thought she was. ANd I wanted her to look for somebody who would be there for her, who would not think about himself, who would want to make her happy. Naruto COULD have been such a person but as I said, he is also someone I wanted to grow out of his feelings and realize that his feelings weren't "real" as in "More important than becoming Hokage" but something he "wanted to feel" to make himself "Normal". A normal boy would fall in love with a normal girl, right? At least that is how Naruto's crush on Sakura felt to me.
It would have been great to see Sakura bitchslap Sasuke and tell him she doesn't love him anymore which ofc won't bother Sasuke at all 'cause I can't remember anything where he could have shown that he's madly in love with her. But I wanted to see that for herself. And at the same time I wanted her to confide to Naruto, her friend who was always there for her and what not. And I wanted Naruto to see that when he thought he had what he wanted, that it did not made him happy in the way he expected it to do. It is were Hinata could have come in and where NAruto could have with time and events realized that there are things much more important for him than becoming Hokage. That he would gladly drop that title to do what he loves to do and be with who he loves to be and haveto be "the father of everybody in the village".
It's why the ending made me sad. To see Bolt doing this to the Hokage faces despite having two loving and most importantly ALIVE parents was really sad. Same with Naruto not helping his son to clean up that prank. Yeah, nice talk about how he can't be there for him all the time as he is Hokage and how he should "ninja up" because he is his son, but that doesn't help to solve the problem at all!
Bolt will still feel like his father is not there for him, will still feel "unloved" despite his father being there because his father rather wants to be Hokage for his village than being a "dad" for his son (and daugther).
Naruto was lonely because his parents died and because people feared him. Bolt is lonely despite his parents being alive and there for him and people clearly not fearing him, rather loving him despite his pranks.
Which of those two scenarios would make you more sad? :(
So about Naruto becoming Hokage, it did not made me happy at all. I would have liked it more if it had been like this:
Kakashi and Naruto are eating Ramen in a Ramen Stall/restaurant and talk about the past and present, like who married who, who died, what had happened to the world and how Kakashi's years as 6th Hokage were and that soon the 7t Hokage is to be named. And Kakashi put down his bowl and say
"Naruto, you know the reason I am here is not to just have a friendly talk, do you?"
"Yes, and you know my answer already."
Kakashi sighs and rub his hair.
"You could become Hokage in a heartbeat if you wanted to. The people adore you. You are their hero. They would be happy with you as their leader."
And Naruto laughs, spurting out his noddles out of his nose and coughing up which makes Kakashi sweatdrop as he watches a war hero with a noodle coming out of his nose trying to catch his breath. Naruto would then reply (while trying to get the noodle outta his nose):
"People think the craziest thing, Kakashi. Being a Hokage means stress, stress and stress again. You sit all day long in your office and read documents, write documents, stamp documents, worry about numbers and money and how to get all that work done in a day. Which you can't. It is a job where you grow grey hair, you see."
"If that was a hint to my hair, it was always grey." Kakahis deadpans while Naruto grins widely.
Naruto then stands up, collect the empty bowls and goes behind the abadonned counter and starts to clean the bowls with a whistle.
"So this is it?" will kakashi ask, his arms crossed before his chest. "Naruto Uzumaki, the son of the fourth Hokage, bearer of the nine-tailed beast, the most likely greatest warhero of Konoha - is stasified being a ramen cook?" (Big zoom-out of Naruto's ramen stall/restaurant being called "to the Ninetails" or soemthing weird like that XD)
Naruto continues the washing and cleaning.
"Is there something wrong with that?"
"Well, no, it is just...unexpected I guess. You always talked at every chance how you wanted to become Hokage and now when I would goffer you that title again, your answer is still 'No, I want to be the greatest Ramen cook of Konoha'?"
Naruto chuckles again and puts the bowls away to drip off the water of them.
"My dream as a kid might have been to be Hokage. But what I wanted to have was not the fancy hat, or the big position or that important title or seeing my face imbeded in stone...All I wanted were people to not hate me for who I am and I thought I would get what I wanted with becoming Hokage."
Naruto looks thoughtful while he dries his hand with a towel, Kakashi looks at him silently. Naruto then looks up to Kakashi with a small smile.
"But I already have everything I wanted, I got a job I love, friends who come by to make fun of my new creations and people who greet me back when I welcome them to my restaurant. And..." A bell rings as the door opens. "I got even much more than that."
"Dad!"
"Daddy!
"Hello, Hokage Kakashi. So that's why a "closed" sign is on the door. You should still open the restaurant soon, Naruto. It is bright daylight and the streets are full of people who want to see the new Hokage. I almost couldn't reach this door."
A smiling Hinata and two lively kids,a boy and a girl, enter from the crowded streets. The kids rush past the sitting Hokage to hug their father who returned that hug and with a grunt as if both kids were suuuuuuperheavy picks them up to carry in his arms. With his kids sitting comfortable, he walks around the counter to greet his wife with a peck on the cheek which the kids comments with "ewwww" sounds while Hinata giggles and blushes a little. Kakashi watches this whole scene with some strange sense of comfortness, aaand maybe just a bit of jealousy.
"As you see, kakashi. I already have everything to have the happiest time of my life. What need do I have for a job that would entitle to keep me away from what makes me happy?" Kakashi looks Naruto straight in the eye and sees nothing but honesty and happiness sparkling in those blue eyes, a happiness that seem to beam from the children and Hinata's faces as well. All by his side and in his arms. Behind his mask the soon to be retired Hokage smiled. The loud and nasty child who couldn't sit still to save his life and listen properly was saying such grown up things. 'Guess that's what being a father and husband does to you. It changes you more than you would expect.'
Kakashi gives a deep chuckle which Naruto counters with a confused look as he is not sure what was there to laugh about.
"You know, you might be the first Ninja who refused to become Hokage. Hah, well that means I only have one person left to ask for becoming the 7th Hokage." The boy gasps loudly and starts to shake his dad violently which makes Hinata pick up her puzzled daugther from naruto's left arm.
"You could become Hokage? Awesome! All the kids in school will drop their jaws when they hear my papa is Hokage!"
"Don't be silly. Uncle Kakashi said that papa didn't wanted to become Hokage." Explains the girl while sticking out her tonuge to her brother. WHich makes the boy shake his father even more violently.
"Why would you NOT want to be Hokage? I don't understand you!" Naruto, Hinata and Kakashi laughs at the pure shock of the boy. Naruto puts his son down and strokes through his blond hair looking just like his old man's.
"Bolt, my boy, I would pick you over the Hokage position anyday. And one day you will understand for yourself why I did so."
Bolt looks back to Kakashi, a dead serious expression on his face.
"He's crazy."
"That your dad is indeed." agrees kakashi and prepares to leave.
"Hey, Kakashi. Who is the other person you will offer this position?"
"Well, I thought about asking Shikamrau."
"Oh my. I doubt he knows about this honor yet." grins Hinata while Naruto laughs loudly as he imagine how Shikamaru will look like when he hears this offer. Kakashi grins unseen behind his black mask.
"If I had he would have found a way out of this. But he will be a good Hokage. Now that we live in an era of peace, strength and power is less needed. He will do just fine, believe me. He might be a bit surprised though when I tell him he is the next Hokage on the same day I give that title away."
Shikamaru was having a normal lunch with his wife and son as suddenly he felt as if his whole body being thrown into cold water. HE started to shiver, eyes wide of fear like a dear before a predator. Temari looks up, nonplussed by her husband's action.
"Something the matter, dear?"
"I just...I felt like somebody just put a mountain of work onto my shoulders and I got no way to say no."
The son blinked and looked back to his still calmly eating mother.
"Mom, dad is acting weeeeeeird again."
"Take notice to not become like your dad, son."
The end
Or something like that. :P
Mother of posts…
-Neji gets the short stick and seems to be the only casualty of the war.
Again, Shikamaru's dad and his posse were dead, I think? Just. . .never recognized. Like:
Don't forget the other 50,000 guys that died the first day.
Cause Kishi did.
Who also were never recognized. Not a tomb, not a memorial, just. . .Neji, the splinter guy.
Splinter, huh? Maybe he's training some ninja turtles secretly, and this was a prequel of sorts?
-Naruto gets an artificial arm but Gai ends on a wheelchair because fuck Gai.
Even more, after. . .more than a decade? he still has his leg in plaster? Does that work like that? It's obvious that leg's of no use, it. . .doesn't need plaster, I think?
Wathever, I'm no medic.
Also the frogs never mentioned his name going off the scroll list, ewe never saw the body, and had no actual funeral.
I still stand by the idea that he washed up on some beach somewhere and is just partying.
He was about to gloriously reappear and say hi to his estranged pupil, when he was physically hit by the monumental symbolism (which is accurate, shince it's symbolism on a moment's size). He could not take it.
His current location is unknown, but let's just say. . . he wasn't ready for that.
I'll bet that after the war, Orochimaru said something to Naruto about once having wanted to be the Hokage. Years later, when asked about that bastard child of Voldemort and Mengele, all Naruto could say was "Orochimaru was the coolest guy."
So if Naruto is beating the shit outta you with his God powers cause you just killed his son and daughter, you can just shout "but Naruto, can't you see I'm doing this cause I REALLY want to be Hokage?", and he'll instantly spare your life? No matter what you might've done?
Alright, I'm actually ok with the ending but 699 will remain in my head as the real ending. 700 feels too much like the fanfics I used to read in ff.net…
Good lord James. I literally cried at the post….. That was beautiful.

Wait a minute.
Guys.
Guys?
What happened to Yamato?
Just read the final chapters.
I'm not gonna lie, I will truly miss Naruto. It was the series that I was a major fan of before I got into one piece and i'm still a fan of it despite it's MAJOR missteps in the second half of the series. :(
Somewhere in an unknown cave underneath random forest setting #623, Yamato is still stuck to a tree man or something.

@James:
I apologize If I offended you with that post of mine.
It was beautiful, James. No apologies needed.
I forgot sai was so pale. I was like who would sleep with orochimaru! Orochimaru would sleep with someone that wasn't sasuke!
so, this thread gonna stay open until the anime ends, the movie is released or even until that mini-part with the kids?
I'm not one to post much, but I felt inclined to say farewell to Naruto. I started reading almost a decade ago, and it really did shape a lot of my middle school - high school days. There were a lot of good moments, and a LOT of bad moments, but I'm glad it existed at all. So thank you for the ride, Kishi. Now take a break and make something good next time!
Ok…. so
1. What happened to Orochimaru?
2. What happened to the rest of Team Hawk?
3. No mention of the Tailed Beasts or what they're up to?
4. As much as I hate Sasuke, we could've used a bit of an explanation as to what he was doing in Chapter 700... We can assume he finished his journey because he came back to make a kid, then he just went away again?

Maybe he became a part of the planet? At least he's relevant by helping produce oxygen for the other characters.
One last time Kakasho has shown, who the boss is
First he tells Sasuke to go the fuck away and that he can be glad that his gay friends and the Rokudaime made some good works… if not he would have been buttraped for the rest of his life.
And even in after years he was asked to go with Naruto, the current Hokage... But he was like fuck you. I had enough of this shit... Let us go on a trip.
The rest was utter fanserving shit
Good lord James. I literally cried at the post….. That was beautiful.
Thanks, I cried a little tear as well. Not because of the Naruto ending but of what it could have become, a strong message for how friendship and family can give a boy becoming a teen turning into a man true happiness. Instead all we saw of Naruto was writing on a laptop, sighing about how his son pranks again and hit his son on the head after using a super jutsu to cheat past on his little son's Ninja star trap and tells him to clean that shit up, then delievers a "cool" message about how he is the father of everybody in the village and thus has not enough time to be there for his son, and tell the son to ninja up because he is his son. And all we see of Hinata and the little daugthers who's name I can't remember for the love of me is a single page. A single goddamn page. About Neji who is like ten years dead. Due a splinter. Who the f@ck cares about that? Why not show us Naruto kissing Hinata (because we get that to see in the movie!)? Or show us Naruto, Hinata and their kids plaiyng or eating at dinner? That would have been such a more emotional ending than that skycrapper ending of Konoha!
At least that is how I feel about the ending. :C
Naruto was good at the beginning, it was great to me as a kid. I could relate to Naruto a lot due being teased in my childhood because of my looks, but while I hated those guys I was also jealous of them because they had friends and I didn't. So Naruto impressed me as a kid, who didn't give up on himself and who thanks to a Ramen chef and Iruka (soooooooo many wasted opprtunitiesssss with those two >.<)and ofc thanks to himself became a ninja, found people who respected him and was on his way to become a good and well-known Ninja. Then Orochimaru and his song ninjas came. Just kidding. But yeah after some point Naruto stoppe being relate-able. And I had grown up, had gotten friends, real friends who stick with me, not caring that I was a nerd or a virgin or can get damn loud after getting drunk. And I had found many other friends on that way who sometimes left me nad who sometimes I left them as we grew apart, living our own lives. Some of them died in a car accident, I heard one of them got drug-addicted, and another had lost his home due a fire but became now a kindergartener. And others married and had kids, while others left our country to work in USA or travel the world. In other words, they all changed just as I changed, some more extreme, some for the better and some in a way they can never return.
And I realized that Naruto will never do that. Change.
In this ending we never saw him care or love his wife and family, that will be for the movie.
All we saw was a Hokage who told his son what a cool job he got, but instead to tell his son that he is special to him and that the village will never have Naruto the same way as Naruto will be there for Bolt and his sister, instead of that love for a son confession, he tells him "stop being a brat, I am a "father" to everyone, now become a Ninja and see how cool your old man is".
He was just the same as he was all those years back then in chapter 1, obsessing over the title of Hokage….
At least, this is how I interpretated the ending and how it made me sad. I wanted Naruto to grow up, not only in sense of power and body, but also as a "person". And for that his "kid self" would have needed to mature into an "adult self". One who would not want to repeat his father's deed by leaving the son alone. One who sees that a whole village or even the world's adoration is nothing compared to the love of one woman, who smile makes your heart swell to its double size. One who sees that all the power and abilties he got are nothing compared to his pride when he sees his son throw a shuriken succesful. One who sees that all his great accomplishes seems to matter to next to nothing when your little daugther comes home and gives you a child drawing about her hero and she has drawn you.
But we never got to see that kind of mature Naruto.
And we never will.
Even at the last chapter, Naruto will be like he was in the first.
"Lonely" in a sense worse than at the beginning of the story, because he can't see the beautiful things he got because all he sees is himself with his "title".
Oh well, I can still imagine Naruto to mature after that ending and say "hey guys, I step back from being Hokage. I make Shikamaru the next Hokage, he can deal better with numbers and this document crap then me. Lol, kthx and bye!" and starts spending time with his family, tries to get a new job and gets chewed out by the Ramen chef from the beginning that he is a horrible ramen cook and that you do NOT put Narumaki in that amount in a ramen bowl, but with time and effort becomes a great ramen cook and inherits the ramen chef's restaurant and spends more time with his family and friends, watching his son grow into a Ninja who "will become the next Hokage" and chuckle at that dream as being a Hokage has now a very different meaning than it did in the past and worry about all those damn boys who are around HIS adorable cutest little sunshine HOWDARETHEYBREATHTHESAMEAIRASHER! and ofc spends some evenings on a bench, somewhere in Konoha, watching the moon raise and tell Hinata he loves her to which she just smiles and leans on to him, whispering in his ear the same and both know it to be true.

Haha, Rock Lee hooked up with SOMEBODY but we will never know~
Everything's Eventual…
BTW I'm mad that Kakashi has no child… I wanted this

Good night sweet prince.
@James I apologize for not quoting your post to me. Now, I honestly agree with what you've said. It really does seem all these plot holes in the last chapter are going to be in the movie. It makes Kishi look like a sell out, really. I honestly don't know what to say to your post. So for that, good job. Lee and Gai thumbs up!
Oh btw, what happens when they run out of space on that rock?
@James:
I apologize If I offended you with that post of mine.

Seeing Naruto and Hinata offsprings made me happy like I wasn't in years reading this manga, so I'm satisfied with just that.
