when did that happen? Last I remember him saying was that the manga was in its final phase. Obviously that could mean anything but I doubt he can fit a whole other year.

I think there are a couple of ways for Kishi to stretch this out to next year, and even beyond:
Current fight with Kaguya
Madara somehow returning
A Naruto/Sasuke rematch
Black Zetsu doing something
Oro as final villain?
But honestly, I don't see Kishi pushing this past 2015.
Please no. If I knew it was ending this year, I might be more inclined to read it every week. As of right now, I have a hard time getting into at all. And if Naruto gives the hogake speech to Kaguya for the win, I want someone to men in black erase my memory to the end of pain arc.
Hhhehehehe, me and my cousin been talking about how aliens invading their planet or Naruto and friends going on a space ninja adventure to fight other beings from Kaguya's race are a possibility.

This has to be the end of Part 2. I bet we get part 3 soon. Part 3 was no doubt be primarily Naruto vs Sasuke. Will Sasuke go the path of Madara or will he let go of his hatred?

That part was awesome though. And why it was effective was pretty reasonable. Poor Kaguya never seen a man in ages.

Wait, so not only is Naruto the son of one of the greatest ninja of all time, as well as having the most powerful of all the tailed beasts giving him an unlimited amount of chakra. Now on top of all that, he is not the reincarnation of Asura......WUT?
When did reincarnation even get introduced? I stopped following the series when they killed of the best character since Itachi.

If I were to guess what a part 3 could be. I say Naruto and Sasuke beat Kaguya. Then after the war is over and it comes to rebuilding the leaf they both have differing viewpoints on how to get it done and what the future of all shinobi is. Because of this they both form their own leaf village, each having their own followers who believe in their viewpoint. Orochimaru and crew will join sasuke and kakashi and co will join naruto of course. This will be stretched out and lots of fights will break out between the two sides, civil war style. Eventually the two fight, and during the fight they come to an understanding. The leaf villages combine. All is well.
fin.
since when is minato the greatest ninja of all time lol.
Yep. Naruto went from downtrodden outcast that had to work hard against geniuses like Sasuke, to ninja world Jesus.
Minato was retconned into being the worst ninja of all time.

I said "one of the greatest". From all of the show I saw up until a couple of years ago, that was the case. Am I mistaken?
Wait....what?!

oh my bad I misread
It will end with
Naruto waking up with a nerve gear on his head and is actually Kirito. It was a SAO setup the whole time!
Ever since Minato was rezzed, all he has done was get punked, and is just there to show how awesome Naruto is, and occasionally teleport stuff.
A few new plot points that were introduced retroactively make him look like a dumbass.
He is currently running around with no arms, and no ability to do anything but gnaw at people with his teeth.
That would be awesome.
Hate to continue the ragging on Shippuden but come on how can they explain this?
I thought this was funny. It's not like it's something naruto wouldn't do either. He loves using that jutsu to catch people off guard.
Prime Hiruzen was said to be one of the strongest ninjas in the world in Part 1. When you think about the scale of Part 1 compared Part 2, it's easy to believe that. Part 2 just scaled things up to a point these characters couldn't possibly keep up.
I'm just thinking this is the supposedly final boss so it so be all serious but I guess it is Naruto.
Why did you spoiler tag that as though it was a well thought out and plausible theory?

The humor timings in Naruto in general are super weird in contrast to One Piece.

what really brings it home is the fact that sasuke goes along with it and is just like.....smh naruto.
right before naruto was able to use talk no jutsu

They didn't. Madara got backstabbed like Obito and turned into a sacrifice. It was so karmic, he spent the entire series back stabbing everyone and in the end he was backstabbed and turned into a sacrifice b y the real big bad.
As if anything Masashi Kishimoto is currently writing about is.

I assume the anime is still on some shitty filler? reasons why I can't stand watching the anime. I doubt the anime can catch up to this alien female god thing. Where is the anime right now the 10 ten tails revival?
They technically didn't, Black Zetsu stabbed him through the back.
Hopefully he ends it soon and puts the manga out of its misery.
On another forum I used to post on, we'd always note how Kishi has repeatedly shit on the "new generation surpasses the old" theme he introduced. Outside of Naruto and the Sauce, the current gen is shit compared to the monsters that came before them. Ninja in Naruto's gen aren't even fucking with Jiraiya/Oro/Tsunade-tier dudes, save Gaara, Bee, and the other Kage (edit: who are all old as fuck, and thus not in Naruto's gen lol) I guess.

Though it seems like they might resurrect madara any time now...I wonder what attitude he will have. I'm assuming he will want to kill black zetsu/kaguya. It would be funny to see madara, obito, sasuke, and naruto teaming up. As well as the kages.

No he wasn't. Tobirama himself said Minato was way more proficient with Space-Time techniques than he was, and he invented them.
He's still a beast. He mastered sage chakra without ever using it before and mimicked Naruto's tailed beast mode in the same manner.
That's another thing that bugged me about this series, they never let the other ninjas have a time to shine. The Akatsuki was the perfect opportunity to let the other teams show their progress from the 2 years of training but nope.

The past four years or so have been a prime example how you don't write a shonen.
The Kaguya "twist" alone compels me to head-desk hard
.
This. Oh, the days when Rock Lee actually did things...
Part 2 never really gelled with me but it was still decent until maybe...Pain arc? If not, then whenever the "Sakura's Confession" bullshit happened.

Remember how great the villains were in part 1? We had Zabuza, Gaara, Orochimaru, and the Akatsuki. The current lineup of villains is a joke. Who the hell is Kaguya and why should I care? There was no buildup or anything, just came out of nowhere to stretch this neverending arc out even longer.
And of course Kishi has gone the DBZ route and made everybody but Naruto and Sasuke completely useless. Every now and then they randomly hype up Sakura for one chapter and then she just goes back to doing nothing.

I wouldn't say everyone is useless. Obito will probably be key and who knows what a resurrected madara will do. Also the edo kages. But yeah my biggest gripe with the manga is it fell into the escalation trap. It kept powering up the villains therefore powering up the other characters then that means the next villain has to be stronger which means naruto and co have to be stronger and so on and so forth. DBZ did that too. I remember the first time goku went SSJ. What a moment. Next thing you know kids are going ssj3 in short time spans.
The funny thing is that Sakura probably is stronger than Tsunade at this point but that the power levels have increased so much that she's useless besides serving as a chakra battery.

NaruHina.
In contrast, the second hokage turned out more badass than shown. He was always that hokage that people rarely talked about, turns out he's the creator of space time jutsus and pretty crazy strong. Or maybe they did tout him before, can't remember I guess.
I thought it was much needed. Things were getting too crazy and wtf, that scene came in to remind me to not take shit so seriously and just enjoy the final ride.
Can you blame us. After part 1 we were all hoping to get something on pared or better but what we.got was a mediocre to bad shonen.

Naruto really should have been built up so that Pain was the final villain you can even keep Tobi/Obito as Pain's right hand man.
Everything now has escalated to the point where I don't give a shit about anything, all this ninja war/juubi/Kaguya nonsense doesn't compare to the danger felt when Pain invaded Konoha and turned it into crater.

Honestly my favorite part of the series was the Chuunin exams aswell.
Naruto vs Neji + Naruto vs Kiba were the best.
I don't blame you
