    I get that, but there's some kanji on it too. Whazzat?

    Also, Naruto's prank on the monument was totally better.

    Anyone else thought 'Star trek: the next generation' seeing Shino and his visor?

    Illusion or not, still must piss off a lot of women.

    Salada looks way too much like Karin imo for her to be Sakura's. If Kishi makes her Sakura then fine, but I honestly see it being a Sasuke hoisting off his and Karin's kid on Sakura while he travels/does missions.

    Sasuke does look the most bad ass though...

    No. Wasn't it conclusively shown that it is not a Genjutsu?

    As in, while she doesn't have a lot of years to live, her skin/body/organs are literally young. As in, if coitus happens, its going to be tight like it was 40 or so years ago.

    Also, I've always thought Naruto/Sakura would be the definition of an abusive relationship. And that is based on the stuff shown in the manga, lol.

    Regarding a post which described this thread as Salty... I think you mistook this forum for Heavan and Earth dude, lol.

    I do NOT think anyone on DLP is invested so much into Naruto that they would get disappointed by the freaking pairing. Disappointed with the general quality of the manga itself, maybe. As in, the last few villains, the last fights, the last power-ups, etc have been a huge let down. But that's about it.

    Me, personally, I started reading this since just about 4 years ago. I'm surprised a shonen manga reached a semi-satisfactory conclusion even.

    As far as pairings go, Naru/Tsu is the OTA. You know its happening behind doors. ;)

    Brah, everyone knows I ship Naru/Tsu in Naruto fandom and Harry Potter/Molly Weasley in HP.

    o_O
    I'm surprised that people are surprised about this.

    Because of how it works I assumed that it's not an illusion like a genjutsu, but rather a jutsu that forces her body to appear younger on the outside. A side effect would be that she appears to be a lot older when it stops working.

    As for the last chapter, it read like it's a different manga because almost everybody changed. I'm not the biggest fan of the pairings, but we have fanfiction for that. In the end, it wasn't the worst epilogue possible. Especially compared to how wasted the final villains (Madara and Kaguya) were.

    Your sarcasm skills are weak. XD

    Pretty sure we've been over this before.

    Never mind. It ain't your OTP until you write a piece on it. Yessir.

    What? How? Last I remember she turns back into a hag when she's out of chakra.

    Yeah, Salada looks waaaaaay too much like Karin. Honestly, the entirety of the next gen except Asuma's kid look fucking horrible, imo.

    That hair on BOLT...ugh.

    And yes, I dislike Naru/Hina. I dislike Hinata in general, a a romantic interest, but I also dislike the pairing because...there was nothing close to a relationship between the two beyond semi-distant friends. We never see him and Hinata having a real conversation. She just stalks him and when he tries to talk to her, she blushes, stutters and maybe faints. That does not a relationship make.

    Did one happen off screen? Probably, but we didn't see it, so it came out forced, contrived and just plain unsatisfying in a literary sense. Naru/Hina shippers are just too overcome with joy to see it.

    Sure, but that's just the shitty writing in general. It's not like Naruto/Sakura, Sakura/Sasuke or anything else was any better written.


    Hell, let's be honest. The only relationship that wouldn't have been a total asspull is Naruto/Sasuke.

    Should have gone with NaruSasu Kishi, the look on Sakura's face would have been worth it.
    Wtf kind of name is Bolt? Obviously Naruto was drunk or all that sodium from the Ramen finally destroyed his brain cells.

    Also, Tsunade is still hotter than every other woman in Naruto...
    I can understand Kurenai getting out of shape but Anko doesn't make sense, she isn't retired or anything...

    Is it certain that the name is bolt? Thought it was supposed to mean dolt, but the translator misspelled it or something

    Basically the Souzou Saisei and its derivative the creation rebirth are described as cell-regeneration techniques. As in they affect the body/cells directly and not as a simple/normal transformation technique does.

    That was how she was basically able to regrow body parts and attach two halves of her body when she was cut in half by Madara. As long as there is chakra to spare in her forehead seal, some of it goes into temporarily rejuvenating her body.

    At least that is how I understood it.

    Or I could be wrong and there could be some wishful thinking on my part. ;)

    Have to agree with this. Other than confirming/denying OTPs there's no real substance to any of the pairings, so it's hard to actually care about them. Shonen does well-developed romance anyway, so that's not a huge shock. I suppose there's always fanfiction for that.

    Also, I am utterly unsurprised that that Naruto and Sasuke's kids seem to have been set up for an eventual pairing. I guess it's NaruSasu by proxy.

    Other than that, Naruto ended without being utterly horrible, but I'm glad to see it done. The final act was definitely weak enough that it was time for the story to end before it descended to Bleach levels of bad.
