The end of manga always seems so strange. We spent sooooooooooooo much time with that last fight that turned into another last fight that turned into another last fight. I wish instead of saving the epilogue, end of the book for a single chapter they'd go all out with itreally explore what happens next.
That was a satisfying epilogue! It didn't cover quite everything, but we got to see the next gen, we got to see the future, and more side-stories coming.
Also, I have a hard time believing Mei and Tsunade are single! I mean, did they try? They're freakin' Kage! Or is the problem being finding a guy who's not into them just for their wealth/power... really surprised Mei didn't get involved with her pet swordsman/successor there.

If only the themes of the manga were properly executed we'd cut them some slack. Again, a certain degree of good writing would be needed for that ermm
Eh, a number of them were. The next generation surpassing the previous, and the previous passing on their legacy to help. Cycles of violence needing to be broken through understanding and that being hard.
And, while hard work was somewhat undercut, Naruto did end up having to work very hard in his training (sure, he got some power-ups passed on, but his own training played a very large role in it's use).

I would've figured the long shot of Tsunade and A hooking up would happen but I guess not. Maybe Choujiro getting older is what made Mei give up. Though considering how attached Tsunade was to Dan I doubt she would try again.
Oh apparently some of the fans say that Sasuke's kid has the same eye shape as Sakura's. Not sure about it but whatever.

For the most part I was also surprisingly satisfied with the ending. I do wonder if Naruto just up and lost his Jesus powers. And Kakashi's face goes down under anime/manga unsolved mysteries like Scar's name or Maka's mom.
Sasuke still had rinnegan, yes? So Naruto should still be uber, if not at his max.

Yea, I could see Tsunade never looking for someone, but Terumi seems weird.
Poor Anko? Why, because she's fat? I found her end to be really cool. After being victimised by Orochimaru and Kabuto it was heartwarming to see her happy and carefree.

Didn't Oonoki imply that Mei had been spending time in the Cloud village when he asked if there was no good men there? She was sweating and looked guilty.

I meant that she didn't get to do anything this entire war other than get kidnapped & put unconscious you jerks.
Edit: Also did all of the senior Naruto cast age in dog year because its been 10 years yet some of them look like they aged 20+
I do like the next gen of Kage. Mildly surprised Bee isn't Cloud's, but Darui doesn't have the temperment.
Glad Kurotsuchi got the chair, I wonder if her dad warmed it in the meanwhile sorta like Kakashi.

Indeed.

Hm, I didn't quite get that impression... must reread...

On the flip side, she got to live, and many of those who fought did not.

I assumed it was more than 10....

Both of them lost their Six Paths seals, and the manga implied that Naruto's 'healing' was due to that seal. When Kaguya saw their chakra network, a notable amount of power was concentrated in their respective hands.

So can Naruto still use the nature elements of the other tailed beasts? He supposedly has fragments of each of their chakras still within him, but they seem pretty small now.As for the big forehead thing, if she actually is somehow Sakura's biological daughter, that makes enough sense.
Yeah, he should be able to use their chakra.
As far as the Karin resemblance goes, I only see it because of the glasses. Without it, she looks like a female Sasuke with a huge forehead, and maybe Sakura's eye-shape.
