Is this thread still going? I mean, come on...

Sakura is with Sasuke and possibly merely a broken woman who wants nothing to do with the Ninja World anymore. This girl has been poisoned, attacked, held hostage, reminded of how powerless she really is, and let down by herself and her mentor. She can only be appointed to the fact she is smart, has well-developed ninja skills, and has the will of a horse. This girl has been through so much and possibly just wants to wind down. All we can say is that Kishi messed her, and all the other women of Naruto, up beyond repair. He treats them really like robots, and not like women or even humans at all.

If this were really fair, Sakura would have given up on Sasuke regardless of whatever love she had for him. 2 years of nothing from this guy but bullcrap should have driven her away like Off. Man, Sasuke may be hot as hell, but so is his temper. No self-respecting woman would put herself through that. I don't care who she is, what she has been through before, or what goes on in her mind at all. Hell, Sakura did not even have a reason to cling onto Sasuke, I mean, the guy fought for your life a couple of times and thanked you before he left, but he never said, "I love you." To this day, Sasuke cannot love Sakura, he probably just got with her to get her to stfu and so that Naruto could grow tf up and get with a woman who actually was good for him.

When you think about it, Naruto might not even be for purely entertainment or to teach lessons about friendship or determination. The lesson is GROW UP.

Grow out of old dreams if you can't achieve them, grow out of dysfunctional friendships, grow out of childhood crushes (if I still chased after girls I liked as a kid, I'd have an anime harem of women), and just grow up in general. I know they were only 12-13 in the original series, and 16-17 in Shippuden, but they are ninjas. Ninjas automatically have a system within them that should force them to grow up. Sure, not everyone in Naruto acts like they are a ninja, and ninja is possibly just a title as much as Hokage is, but they do missions, they kill people, they fight with explosions, manipulation, and they kill people.

Hell, even Naruto who only killed that one imposter Akatsuki guy has seen people die all the time. Since the day he was born, he has seen people die, and if you know Naruto, then you know I'm not exaggerating in the least. You would think a group of people this plagued by pain would be just as Emo as Sasuke.

Sure, the characters show great maturing, I'm not saying they don't mature at all, but when they do, it's usually just a boost to their other immaturity that they can accomplish somethimg that they should not even be worrying about anymore. I really couldn't take it anymore, and though I love Naruto to this day, I still can't get over that. Well, I'll just grow up and come to accept it, cuz, in reality, Kishi only did what the fandom wanted him to do. The fandom makes it pretty clear as to what we want, and Kishi only played along.

We're responsible for this ending just as much as Kishi is, since he really only continued it for us. I just wish that really he didn't do this and chose a plot that didn't act like a food web. I still love it, but really, this is a huge thing I just can't shake no matter what. And it's not like we didn't see it coming.

Just like that, this thread may as well be closed.
