But saving the world at the very least is and in this last arc we've had 2 very big things still threatening the world. So why is it a new arc? Because it's Naruto vs Sasuke? Does a single fight make an entire arc? If so the Fourth Shinobi World War arc is about to become an absolute bitch.

Like I said before if the name needs to be changed thasts fantastic but an entire new arc just for Naurto v Sasuke is just...not smart. Like!e at all.

EDIT: I mean, the more I think about it the more foolish it just seems to splinter this off. I mean, the obvious paralel would be Part I's ending, the Sasuke Retrieval arc. In that arc we had a bunch of battles ending with a between Naruto and Sasuke. Did we split them off on their own separate arc? No. That would have been stupid.

Invasion of Pain had a bunch of smaller battles as Pain did the titular invasion. When Naruto showed up and it became a 1 on 1, did we split it into a "Naruto vs Pain" arc? No. Because that would have been stupid.

This is not the first time an single arc went through multiple adversaries for one reason or another. I can't for the life of me figure out why this would split off on its own unless as I mentioned in my first post that it's just because panties become moist at the thought of a Uzumaki/Uchiha rematch. I've already explained that Naruto and Sasuke's fight is not the reason why it is time for a new arc- it is not revolving around their singular fight, but also everything after the conflict. Right now, they are fighting to decide whose method of obtaining peace/reforming the shinobi system is better. That will be the main focus of the story after their fight- their battle is just the beginning of that change in the story's direction. Right now, the focus is a clash of ideals to obtain peace- that has nothing to do with the Infinite Tsukuyomi or the War, and so that is why a split is a good idea.

As far as your arguments about the separate fights in the Sasuke Retrieval Arc and the Invasion of Pain Arc- all of those fights were an essential part to that point in the story. That is why there would be no reason split those into different arcs. After all, like I said, this new arc would not solely be dedicated to Naruto and Sasuke's fight, though it would be an essential part- there is more to it than just their battle. As far as the Sasuke and Taka vs. Killer Bee part being in the Invasion of Pain Arc- I'd argue that it should be a part of the Itachi Pursuit Arc instead, but I won't raffle any more feathers. But back to the topic- the ideas/topics of the current events with Sasuke's revolution and the Infinite Tsukuyomi are entirely different; there is no correlation with Sasuke's revolution and Madara/Kaguya's plan of trapping everyone in an infinite dream. Of all the reasons presented, this is the biggest one as to why a new arc should be created.
