@Airnaruto No way man. This may have several faults, but it's NOTHING compared to One More Day - and I don't see much similarities either. I'm a very devout Marvel fan, so I know what I'm talking about. You see, One More Day was entirely a decision by Quesada, who was Marvel's editor-in-chief at the time and thus the voice of Marvel. He wasn't the writer, though, like Kishi; that was J. Michael Straczynski. Straczynski would be the equivalent of Kishi, while Studio Pierrot and/or SJ would be Quesada's equivalent. Storywise, also, there isn't much similarity. If that was the case, then there would be something along the lines of Naruto never meeting Sakura or something. But there isn't time alterations, retcons, and alternate timelines (outside of RTN) in Naruto.

@Hisana Yeah, she's Wonder Woman while Hinata's Lois. And Supes is having sex with Diana as we speak. The New 52 is just so AMAZING, isn't it (sarcasm)? Thanks for calling us intelligent, though :).

@Reliops I agree with you, though really tone down your language.

@BlackChaos Naruto DID understand love. He may not have felt it, but he was the only person who seemed to know it. All his life he was abused. Neglected. Traumatized. But no matter what the villagers did to harm him, he still loved them. He loved them so much that he wanted them to love him back. No matter what they did he was going to go ahead and make them all better people. THAT, my friend, is true love. And that's the only reason why Naruto was able to do ANYTHING in the series at all. As for the fight, it just felt short, but I wouldn't have a final fight any other way outside of Naruto vs. Sasuke. I'm sure everyone can agree with me.

@Rachin I agree, though I'm not sure why everyone is so mad about how Sasuke wasn't punished. The other things are legit. And then there's the miniseries. This just PROVES that Kishi left open so many things. Just like how JK Rowling created Pottermore after Harry Potter (which ended similarly) ended.

@Eric Actually, Kishi was working on the series this whole time, doing everything right, and then the manga and anime staff stepped in every now and then and messed it up. I have nothing against Kishi. Nothing at all. As for the goals, let's go over them, shall we? Naruto's was to be Hokage. He HAD to get that, and he did, so good on that. Sasuke's was to slit Itachi's throat and restore his clan. Of course there was Itachi, and he started to get his clan back up again. Though I had a bit of iffyness on this. Please don't kill me for saying this but - Sasuke should've been with Karin. I know that sounds weird, and Karin is weird, but let me explain. Karin's an Uzumaki/Senju. Sasuke's an Uchiha. The best way to rebuild both of those clans and end the brothers' feud would be for them to rebuild together. Sure there's Boruto and Sarada, but then what about "the next generation"? That was Naruto's generation, not Boruto's! Sakura's goal was to have Sasuke's acknowledgement. She got that. She didn't need to seal the deal, honestly - especially when the guy tries to impale you with lightning and slit your throat within a period of five minutes. As for Kakashi being Hokage also - of course that's good! Not sure about what should've happened to Guy, although if Neji died then Guy should've lived.

@Kimazuu While there were several major themes that were disregarded, and many of them are accurately the ones you described, as a whole Kishi stayed mostly on track. By the way, I took no offense, so no need to worry.
