SuperSajuuk wrote: Next Generation is extremely lengthy. Epilogue seems the more suitable imo, as it explains that anything after Chapter 699 is beyond the existing story. An epilogue is a section of a book that serves to conclude and bring closure to the story, so it makes sense to call Chapter #700 the epilogue of Naruto, because that's exactly what it is. To say that everything that occurs after Naruto is an epilogue is unquestionably wrong.

Frankly, Chapter 700 serves as much as a prologue to Boruto as it does an epilogue to Naruto. Moreover, there's an issue with some stories that take place shortly before Chapter #700 but which I would very much hesitate to consider being part of the Blank Period, such as The Path Lit by the Full Moon and The Day Naruto Became Hokage, and indeed those details are currently crammed under the Epilogue header along with Chapter #700.

"Next Generation" is also only three characters longer than "Blank Period," and many of the subheaders are far longer, so I don't really see where that argument holds water.
