Now that the series is over and regardless of the mixed feelings the ending evoked, state your most memorable moment out of the entire series. Like what is the one particular scene you found the best above all?

For me it was when Sasuke finds out the actual truth about Itachi after killing him. Manly tears were shed that day 😢

Kakashi Gaiden is magic and Orochimaru vs Hiruzen Sarutobi is the best fight.

When Naruto found out about Jiraiya's death.
Couldn't hold in the tears when the popsicle scene was referenced. ;_; I really started to feel for him as a main character then (before it was mainly the side characters and villains that kept me interested). Now he's my favorite out of the whole cast. 😀

The scene where Naruto first met his mom is a strong contender too. I actually cried tears of happiness.

Jiraiya's final moments, damn I cried there...
Or maybe the flashbacks of the final moments of Minato and Kushina where they sacrificed themselves and said their goodbyes to (baby) Naruto T.T

As mentioned, Jiraiya's death was so sad. I really cried. Not only his death, but Asuma's death to when Kurenai found out about it. T_T Also, Gaara's death really made me sad especially because of Naruto. He came back yea, but it made me so sad.

Another moment that wasn't really sad but memorable was when Naruto was finally acknowledged by the village after beating Pein!

i kinda liked when naruto lost the 1st time vs sasuke, he Lost because he wanted to touch the headgear instead of hitting him, the way the he felt because the fact that he won the lil bet and still wasnt able to convince his bride to come back was kinda deep. When pain killed most of konoha was deep too but i knew they were going to revive a way or the other.

For me it was when Naruto down on his knees and propose to Sasuke. But then he rejected the proposal because it was still illegal for leaf ninjas, hence his decision to left the village for Amsterdam, that was it for me. I mean come on. Fight for your love dude. Don't just settle for secondary beard.

And yeah, all the lazy deus ex machina. Every one of them. And there were a lot. A lot. Accumulating to my self loath and self hate that I was still reading the crappy badly written popular manga just because, it was part of my childhood.

After this, no more Kishimoto for me.
