Isn't that in itself too predictable? A lot of people are expecting someone to die, between Naruto and Sasuke. Knowing Kishi, he's going to roll everyone's heads or just make everyone stare at the screen, making everyone wonder what the hell have we all been doing with our hours keeping up with the series.

Personally, I believe that Sasuke can't be killed off. He is now the shining example of what happens when people believe an ethnic group is the "problem" and someone successfully gets rid of them, or attempts to do so. Without him, no one in any village will learn nothing and the Uchiha tragedy will only repeat itself. Naruto, I feel, must ascend to the rank of Kage. As far as I can see, Naruto will end up being a new and improved version of Hiruzen and Sasuke will be a new and improved version of Danzo.

I respect everyone's opinions, but the pessimistic expectations for the manga's ending is starting to smell like "Bleach" to me. All people expect out of it is someone dying so they can feel good, because no one can really look at the bigger picture.
