The Official Naruto series Thread

really now? wow, about time the anime got around to that.

and wow, so once again a mainly talking chapter. finally, Shukaku and Gaara seem to truly get along. but damn, the ending....

Thank you Madara. Merry Christmas indeed ^-^

O.O Well that really isn't how I expected the chapter to end.

Also...MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

same here. but of course, Naruto must have some sort of protagonist plot armor to survive that. but still, damn.

and yeah, Merry Christmas to everyone as well!

Uzumakis can survive extraction, and there's another Kyuubi half nearby.

Kurama has a plan, likely to save the Bijuu & Naruto; and as Q said, Naruto's mother has already survived Bijuu extraction.

Also, Gyuuki cut off another one of his tentacles. Maybe that's to save Naruto as well?

Probably Bee.

Flashbacks to tie in a throw away line from forever ago are funny.

possibly. but even if Kurama really was extracted from him, even if/when it's shown Naruto survived the extraction, he'll be way too weak to moving around at all.

Maybe the fourth will give Naruto his half of Kurama?

I was thinking that since Kurama was pretty much allll the way out of Naruto, he wasn't forcefully extracted from Naruto like the tailed-beats were from all the other hosts.

So, it would be just that much easier to pull it out from Naruto. What's left to extract? Anything? I think that after your tailed beast is fully out like that, there's only the seal and probably a tiny bit of residual chakra connected. Should be easy peasy to break the seal and pull the beast away, at that point.

Remember when the Akatsuki needed 3 days to seal a single bijuu? Good times.

We're never gonna get closure on the rings the members had to wear.

I think they were just membership rings...

Nope!

They were the original Planeteers. With their powers combined, they formed...

Captain Planet!

YouTube video

Look at DP posting funny images and gifs like he knows whats what.

Apparently an interview exists where Kishimoto says the manga will end this year, he doesn't know how he's going to have Madara lose, and he has always considered Sasuke as Hokage from the beginning.

THOUGHTS ON THIS?

If Gaara reminds Shukaku of The Priest and The Priest reminded Shukaku of TSOTSP... i have no idea where i was going with this

Eh? Only the Sasuke part is worth killing over.

In other news this.

Obito has his own ending in the anime apparently. That's neato I guess. It was pretty funny.

About time Naruto ended.
