   Wow. The look on Naruto’s face is like “you overlooked something you arrogant jerk”. Should be over real quick.

   Now THAT was a good chapter! Still, only three more and it’s finished? I really start to doubt if it’s going to deliver. And yes, I know that the movie is kind of an epilogue, but I don’t care. Manga is one thing and tv series and movies are another. I want a good, conclusive ending to a series that lasted fifteen years!

   well it seems that naruto is about to lose… but i think everyone knows that he will somehow get out of this situation and come out on top.

   kishi should just troll everyone and have sasuke take naruto out LOL!

   To me it seems like I’m missing something. I look at Sasuke absorbing Naruto’s kyuubi chakra, I recall Naruto’s many battles against the Rinnegan, and now Sasuke just steals his chakra. I think we’re missing something.

   Long story short, I think Naruto’s about to win.

   ^ The series is called Naruto. OBVIOUSLY Naruto is about to win.. Duh. Anyways, i think Sakura is about to show up and save Naruto (i pray she doesn’t though because I want this fight to be strictly Naruto and Sasuke, so I hope Naruto finds a way). I like that we’re finally done with the God like powers crap, just good ol taijutsu. Can’t wait for next week.

   @8: With Sasuke out of Chakra that seems likely. That’d explain the look on Naruto’s face.

    This is very reminiscent of Hashirama vs Madara. Madara thought he won but got tricked by a wood clone, let’s see if Naruto has one more shadow clone up his sleeve.

    @10: Yeah I think Naruto used that trick too before, so that’s probably it. You hit it on ze nose.

    But she won’t. He will be in the last movie post time-skip.

    I hope the series can end with Naruto not having blood on his hands – that sets him apart from most if not all ninja who preceded him to a position of power.

    Below is my shameless plug for one way to resolve this:

    So, Naruto quickly has to think of a way to subdue Sasuke without him getting killed in the process. He decides that his desire to be acknowledged has been fulfilled, and the title of Hokage is not needed to rescue all those he cares about; suddenly he gets an idea – why not do what Third attempted with Orochimaru before?
    He casts Shiki F?jin, a technique conveniently developed by Uzumaki, and Naruto directs it at Sharingan itself. Sasuke is taken by surprise and Naruto proclaims that by taking away his visual prowess, the curse of Uchiha is lifted and gone forever. As Naruto prepares to die for his friend, the slivers of chakra from the tailed beasts within him take over and offer themselves to the Shinigami instead, deeply moved by Naruto’s determination.
    The gambit works, but Naruto is near collapse. Sasuke attempts to re-activate Sharingan over and over in vain, and deeply shaken by the experience, runs away.
    Cue the last chapter showing the time skip and what came of all major characters.
