Naruto

What about Anko?

That's like asking, "What about Yamato?" or "What about Kurenai?"

But Yamato was paired up in that last chapter, so you'd think Anko would get a mention.

HA

HA

HA

GLOR-IOUS!

FUND-IT!

Ah but seriously, with the way this series is going I wouldn't be surprised if some parts of that were dead right.

... The fuck are you talking about?

They ate anko at Naruto's funeral.

In that "Final pairings" thing that guy on the last page made for a theoretical (joke) final chapter, Yamato was paired off with Kabuto. But Anko is not mentioned anywhere.

...red bean paste isn't something you eat by itself.

Mitarashi Dango on the other hand...

Chapter 666's stinger: Anko is shown on a date with a man who's face is hidden by shadow, they kiss and then it's revealed that it's Tobirama's evilly smirking Edo head stiched onto someone else's body. Fade to Black; fin

I could totally see at least half of that actually happening.

The final battle could still be Naruto vs Sasuke in that scenario. It would just be an internal struggle on how much to tip.

The final battle is going to be Sakura vs Everyone Else. After they've been softened up by Team Godtree, she crushes them and becomes the Kage of the survivors of the ninja alliance, who merge into a single village. With most of the continent's military might under her control, she embarks on an Alexander-esque conquest of the known world.

You mean she gets married and supports her husband's conquest of the world, right? This is Naruto...

Yeah, but I like to pretend it isn't.

Still want to see Naruto and Sakura hook up so I can laugh over the massive Internet Backdraft Naru Hina fans would cause. It would rival the butt hurt of Seddie and Zutara going down in flames.

Implying Shino, the one who endures, wouldn't start a counter faction to Sakura's despotic empire that ruthlessly crushes her in about ten minutes.

I would actually kill you.

Also, I was thinking about something that's been bugging me in the Avatar comics, and I've noticed something: Are they even capable of writing a relationship that isn't a Love Triangle?

I'm sorry, I know you're supposed to hate Naruto, but the last hit on Obito was really cool-looking. Sasuke and Naruto's strongest attacks combined, Sakura supercharging them from the back, and the other nine of the "Konoha 12" juiced up on Fox-chrakra and each riding one of the Fox's tails. Whatever faults this manga has, that's how you beat a shonen Big Bad.

I have an alternate ending to Lightflame's ending:

Tobirama disintegrates.

Juubitree screams YOU MANIACS! YOU DISINTEGRATED HIM!

Juubitree an heroes because the entire plot was a plan to bring about Edo!Tobirama so that he could deter the rapidly approaching extinction of all intelligent life until such time that another individual with critical thinking skills was born and raised in a healthy environment, and taught by Tobirama so that he (What? Were you expecting a competent woman? This is Naruto, only Konan is allowed to be competent and only because she might be Tobirama's great/granddaughter, and she got killed by asspull-butthurt-Uchiwank-retcon after she already killed Tobito and nobody is actually going to read this so

Where was I? Oh right Tobirama was going to teach this poor, pitiable, genetic-freak-of-nature who has critical thinking skills to be the caretaker of humanity as the cycle repeats every 50,000 years until evolution produces a generation with a sustainable population of rational individuals of various genetic backgrounds who will form their own clan-free society, so as to avoid inbreeding as they propagate their intelligence; or, alternately, until the depressingly-slowly growing legion of intelligent, immortal, godlike zombies say "Fuck you all, you dumbasses deserve extinction, by virtue of sheer dumbassery!" and then they kick back, pass around the sake, and laugh at all the primitives for the rest of their drunken zombie eternity.

And then after the Juubi tearjerkingly puts itself out of its misery, the moon comes crashing down with a creepy-ass smile on its face as some hellish freak with a bunch of masks rises from the Juubitree's stump, dancing and singing "You've met with a terrible fate, haven't you?"

And then they die.

THE END.

EL FIN.

Eh, maybe if the Konoha twelve did something that Nardo couldn't have just made a few clones for. I mean, if they all worked together with their own specialties to maybe strengthen the rasengan or something, that'd be good. But the fact that they're basically doing what Nardo's clones could've done made the scene kind of... boring for me.

I thought the DNA sword looked cool. There's your positivity.

There's Gran-Gran/Pakku still, right?

Shino finally decides fuck the human race, he's going to go out into the wilderness and hang out with the bugs.

Kind of like Radagast the Brown, only not so... brown?

And without bird shit down half his face.

Gran-Gran who got married to someone else in the intervening time, but yeah, I guess.

Lightflame, that scenario was the most glorious thing I've ever read. If only Kishi could be as wise as you. I especially liked Super Perfect Evil Tobirama, failed author Obito, and richest-man-on-ninja-earth Kakashi. But come on, man, Guy deserves someone better than Karin. At least like Mabui or Anko level.

Super Perfect Evil Tobirama was great because he was still the only character making any sense, very Original Flavour.
