    Naruto Main Theme



    After 15 years, a timeskip, and 700 chapters, Masashi Kishimoto's serialized shonen manga Naruto has ended. There is still a movie coming in December, as well a short mini-series in 2015 focusing on the children of the main cast, but the series proper is over.

    Final List Of Story Arcs:

    Part I

    The Chūnin Exam Arc comprised chapters 34 to 114 of the manga and episodes 20 to 67 of the Naruto anime.

The arc began with the war finally starting with both the Allied Shinobi Forces and Akatsuki moving out for battle. The arc ended following the defeat of Yakushi Kabuto, and the release of Impure World Reincarnation.

    Ten-Tails Revival Arc
    The Ten-Tails Revival Arc spans from chapter 592 to chapter 662 and in the anime, from episode 341 to 348, continues from 362 to 375 and later resumes from 378 to the current. It covers the climax of the Fourth Shinobi World War and the revival of the Ten-Tails, which Tobi and Uchiha Madara plan to use for their Eye of the Moon Plan.

    Final Arc
    The Final Arc is the last arc of the series and spans from chapter 663 to chapter 699. It covers the completion of the Eye of the Moon Plan by the casting of the Infinite Tsukuyomi, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's attempt to subdue mankind by possessing Madara, and Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke's final battle that revolves around the former trying to stop the latter's plans of revolution.

    Chapter 700 is a bonus chapter that shows the ninja world after Naruto has become Hokage, redeemed his friend, and become a father, finally fulfilling his lifelong dream. Here is a mockup of the characters at the end of the series:



    And their children:



    Many of us grew up with the series, and it's surreal to see it end. It's had its fair share of both love and hate from the community, and people have found different reasons to keep reading, but there's no doubt that Naruto has been a significant part of many people's lives for the past 15 years.

    theres alot of things that didnt makse sense:
    naruto vs sasuke final fight
    the power level between both should be far apart since naruto manage to put in a few hits against obito/kaguya, unlike the emo got who couldnt do before and after the power upgrade, then being able to put up a even final fight against naruto didnt make sense...imo naruto held back from killing him...

    the final villain was going from obito/madara/kaguya kept on decreasing what a villain should be, didnt struck fear or anything

    kaguya is just a overglorified hinata with a rinnegan, some of the stuff kaguya did in base form imo hinata could do if she had the same chakra limit as kaguya..with naruto/hinatas offspring, they look like direct copies of kaguya (narutos chakra + hinatas blood limit byukagan= kaguya base form, if nine tails chakra can evolve the byukagan to a rinnegan)

    i assume most of the clowns on this site are from the same age group anyway, could care less what ethnic background ur from..as long we share a common interest in reading/watching whatever that forms a discussion

    but seriously out through 15yrs of reading this bull , naruto has always been playing from behind with the power catchup as the emo got continues to get power upgrades out of nowhere, yet cant do in the last arc against obito, if he was so great how come he got killed by obito then gets revived by orochimarus subordinate whatever his name is

    after the revival he gets another power upgrade from the sage (same with naruto), still not even on par to fight obito/madara/kaguya, yet naruto had no problem with those 3 final villains, then the end fight all of a sudden he fights to a draw or either naruto holding back to bring him back from the emo wanker he was on....

    sasuke with all the power, seems like he didnt even use it to its fullest potential, his character wasnt even that interesting even with t he hacks compared to the akatsuki villains whose backstory was done very well...

    There's a lot of anime loving whites here in western Canada, which I've no problem with, but I've heard that Naruto is an atrocious show that's a living parody of whatever the genre (ninja ?) is.

    part 1 and 2 was good,after that it just went downhill with bull writing and missing some key elements of telling the story, story is about naruto not a got emo piece of sasuke who seems to get a better story when his not even mention, its gone full re

    just manage to watch the sub 2014 movie t railer, which starts 15yrs from the final fight to the last chapter 700 time skip...lol sprinkle some of that salt into the narusaku wound ,

    one thing about manga, never cave into fandom, thats when ur work goes to , and u should be bury in it
