Alright, earlier I tried posting something but forgot to sign in so it didn't stick so I'm going to skip the long rant I had in place and get to my main points.

1. The pairings for the fans were rushed, and some at best are shaky. 2. The story should have ended with either no pairings or be left up in the air so that all fanbases could at least retain some form of hope. Doesn't matter if it would have caused some anger or arguements, it'd be a lot less then what's popped up. 3. Don't act smug or snarky because others are displeased with the pairings.

There is more I could say but won't because either it will take to long and I'll ramble, or I can't think of them off the top of my head. However no matter how the ending happened fans are allowed to reject it, I myself embrace some of it and reject the rest. What this all should boil down to is that no matter the ships we root for, who we think is the best, we are all fans of this series. Let's forget ships and focus on the biggest thing: Naruto is finally done. This is the end of an era people, and having fans warring about the pairings just spoils it, takes away the magic. Let's appreciate the journey that we all took by reading and staying with this epic saga be it from the very start anywhere in the middle or even near the end to this final chapter. Its been a heck of a ride and I loved it dearly, just as I think you all loved it to. For those who are still not okay with the pairings then keep with your ships, write fanfiction, draw fanart, and let yourselves be heard, let it be known what you support but always remember that the other people here are just like you, they are the fans who grew with this story. Plus you never know, maybe certain fan theories maybe right, maybe he'll pull a JK Rowling, who knows. Just love the journey, even if the destination isn't what you wanted, and never give up, believe it.
