FINALLY! And it's okay, you guys. I know you were just expressing your opinion. Although for the record, by "like" I did mean "love". Just so you know.

@GreatestSin Yeah, I know. That's what I was saying. It was generic from the beginning. What I'm saying is that it was supposed to come off that track. Everyone was hoping it wouldn't. And it started to look that way. But the last two chapters placed everything back to square one, particularly in terms of romance. That pisses me off SO MUCH.

SS was forced, thank you. And the epilogue was really a mess; it'd be better if there was more development with the pairs and filled-in several major plot holes (what happened to Taka and Orochimaru?).

Although I think Obito's fate was perfect, personally. His whole redemption thing could've been handled better, but his death mattered. At least this isn't Dragon Ball or American comics where death is SO pointless you can expect everyone to play Jesus and come back. I just wish they'd made it more impactful towards the end. Like at the scene where everyone is mourning the dead, I would've had only Hinata mourning Neji and other characters mourning other characters (like Shikamaru and Ino mourning their fathers - honestly, people, Neji wasn't the only casualty!). Then there's a scene with everyone leaving, only for Sasuke to look back at Madara's grave and Naruto to look back at Obito's. Then Kakashi goes to the memorial stone and crosses out Obito's name, saying something like "I only need one place to mourn you - it should be the more appropriate one".

@SeaTerror Exactly!
