Agree to the milking money thing... But besides that, there's already a lot of foreshadowing of future arcs with the Hawk group that Sasuke established (I'm going to assume that it'll take more precedence(sp?) when the group becomes older) and there's still the whole Kaburochimaru deal. Plus I highly doubt that Kishimoto is going to make character designs for all of the Jinchuuruki and not use them. Waste of his precious time imo. And I feel like Kishimoto will also include all the side stories about the side characters (as they are also very popular [note Kakashi] and fans will probably write 12093802 letters to him that he didn't explain about character _________) so there's still a while of Naruto.

I must say though... There was a while when I thought Naruto was stupid, but when I reread it, there's a lot more depth to the story than what you see on the surface (and the English dub).

I feel like the story is closing up, but I don't think it'll end anytime soon. The fights will definitely be dragged out.

i can visually see it coming i think it will last for maybe another 100 chapters..editunless they do something and add another arch like a danzou arch or something...

It might pull a school rumble and absolutely rush an ending over the span of 1 or 2 volumes

that'll only happen if naruto suddenly got massively unpopular
which i don't see happening anytime soon

I do think that Naruto is at the end. I dont think it will last longer then maybe 4 years but yap it almost over.....

Well... despite currently, it's a fight against Pain and his crew, I don't see the Naruto series ending soon. They have too many options available like Sasuke, the rest of the Akatsuki, Danzou (unless they kill 2 birds with one stone and combine Pain and Danzou as one problem), and there's that one little part where Kabuto said something interesting to Naruto before he disappeared.

.

Sure, a lot of people are into Naruto and it is bringing a lot of money....which is the whole point in becoming a authour/mangka....is to see people enjoy your work...and be succesfull....Naruto is known pretty much everywhere...so if you look at the authors stand point...i bet they are happy...and naruto probally wont end anytime soon since many thins have yet to be answered

Such as what will happen when Naruto and Sasuke meat up, what will happen to Konaha, will naruto ever be hokage, will we ever get the real facts on Narutos parents, will we ever met rin, what was the secret message jiraya left to naruto mean, who will sakura and hinata end up with, is kakashi really dead, does gaara ever come back into the story line, what happened to that team the other village sent (cant remember the name), why is pain 6 people

all of these have ben somewhat answered, but not enough to end it in a way that fans will be happy with. so yeah I think naruto will be around for a while.

Too many pointless episodes so far but I can't see why they would stop any time soon. If it works, why change it?

I hope they stop. It's been dragging on like Harry Potter movies......for crying out loud, Harry looks 30, Ron's like 37 and that girl looks like she's an aunt by now.

But anyway, Naruto doesn't look like it's going to end until he kills all those people......That's going to be another 15 arcs.....

this is not about cannibalism...please get back on topic

Quote from Toto

I think it is exactly the topic. I see nothing wrong.

Looks like it's gonna end soon. The way Pain destroyed Konoha kinda showed that Kishimoto is pulling out all of the stops.

But I bet he's rushing it so that he could hurry and start on that mafia manga he's been working on for the past few years.

Quote from tactics

Just because someone's head was chopped off doesn't mean they're dead. That's just silly.

thats the same way i feel too after i read chapter 430
"Naruto Returns"

memories are meant to be kept...

Near? Depends, it's probably not going to end in the next month or two (maybe year or so?) due to all of the unanswered questions stated by those who posted before me

Lalala~

Nah. I don't think it's ending anytime soon. Too much stuff to cover, and its 16 pages per chapter. Haha, I can see another couple of years for Naurto.

Although the story line is getting quite meaty now. Im expecting some amazing fights to be carried out now Naruto is stronger... (supposedly XD) 😃
