End of the Manga

[:[Gaara]:]

Ok, I'm bored on this site since there is nobody from the same village yet, so I've got pretty much nothing to do until something happens near Suna...

But, to make up for that, let's start a thread...

What do you think the final few chapters will be about?
How will they occur? What kind of mysteries will be solved?
What's your oppinion on Madara and the tale of Konoha?
And how will this all end?

Any ideas? I know I have a few...

[Haruno Sakura]

Well, we already know that Sasuke is probably not going back to Konoha.. (those assholes xD)

As for the next few chapters, I don't really know anymore, you know? My interest has been fading.. I just hope the Uchiha clan doesn't die. (I think Sasuke will, though..) I want Sasuke to revive it.. so the clan can grow without corruption. *favorite charrie is Sasuke >///>*

As for Konoha and Madara.. they'll just end up fighting is all. =/
Anyway, what were you thinking? ^^

[:[Gaara]:]

Well, with Sasuke it's all very touchy on the subject. At this point his personality is in a flux between three main states of what I believe is to happen. There are three possible places where he can go from this point.

My first opinion, and probably the strongest of them, is that he will not go back to Konoha. The leading factor for this is that he has heard from Madara that Konoha was trying to kill him off. So if he goes back, it would be allot more risky than if he stayed away from the village. During this time he may wish to remain away from the Hidden Leaf, however he can also decide to either try to continue where Orochimaru left off by creating a new village for those who had no home anywhere else. Or he can simply stay rogue, off the map and out of sight only to return from hiding if the Akatsuki grows too powerful.

The Second Idea is that he returns to Konoha only on the basis of peace. He'd be done completely with the ideal of fighting, but would continue to live as a ninja because he knows no other way to live. His lifestyle would change dramaticaly as his entire existence would no longer be to kill Itachi, but instead to continue his brother's legacy and revive the clan under new power as to keep the village from trying to rid the Uchiha clan from it's midst.

The last idea, is that he joins the Akatsuki. This is to say that he only does so because of Madara, not to try and agree with his ideals and better the world, but simply to get close to the true leader of the Akatsuki just as Itachi had tried to do when he joined the organization. This would only be for the reason of getting stronger so he can be the one that kills Madara later on in the series. This is also another likely output, but I probably would not enjoy this as much as the previous ideas, as this theme has been used already when Sasuke joined Orochimaru.

As for Konoha and Madara, I do believe that he was the cause for Kyuubi, after all the Kyuubi had known Madara's eyes and told Sasuke of their similarities. And for Madara to say that he hadn't been involved with it in any way shape or form seems slightly rediculous. After all, Madara hated the Uchiha had despised Konoha as an enemy, there were no friends of his there at the time. Why wouldn't he want to send the Kyuubi in on Konoha?

Seeing as he was most likely responsible for that attack, his next idea is probably to kill Naruto for the Nine Tailed Demon Fox, seeing as there's only as many as two Bijuu to capture left. But with the hints that have been given out, I'm pretty sure Naruto is the last remaining Jinchuuriki there is at this point. And I don't think they're going to be able to capture him, so killing him in order to release the Nine Tailed Fox in order to capture it later is probably going to be their best bet. That's just my opinion. It really could go either way. However, with how I see Kishimoto, and how I think the manga is going to turn out, it seems as if Naruto is going to die. As to what happens after his death, I'm really not sure.

That's just the issues on "Konoha and Madara" and Sasuke though... there could be allot that happens over the next few issues.

[Hatake, Kakashi]

And I don't think they're going to be able to capture him, so killing him in order to release the Nine Tailed Fox in order to capture it later is probably going to be their best bet.

Kyuubi keeps Naruto alive for one main reason among others, if Naruto dies so does Kyuubi. Remember when Naruto was on the brink of death, the darkness was also crushing in around Kyuubi in which he released the powers to him. They have to capture and extract or break the seal somehow.

[:[Gaara]:]

It is not proven as to what happens when a Jinchuuriki dies. The only known deaths of Jinchuuriki were those of immediate deaths that occured at the failed sealings of Shukaku before Gaara was given the Spirit. So to say that it will die is only from speculation of what Naruto and the Kyuubi had seen as a possibility. Yes, it is possible, but noone truly knows what happens when a Jinchuuriki dies. At least, there is no released information stating what happens anways.

Also, breaking the seal may be a part of what happens if Naruto dies. After all, the Kyuubi technically is trapped inside of the seal, and the seal is powered by Naruto's lifeforce. So if Naruto dies, perhaps it is the world in which the Kyuubi inhabits that is destroyed, not the Kyuubi itself. After all, the Kyuubi is technically a Spirit. And being a spirit it brings up another question only to further question the statement you just made with such certainty, Kakashi. Can a Spirit even die?

[justu]

I agree with Gaara almost completely the only thing I don't agreee with is his second opion about Sasuke going back to Konaha and becoming peaceful. Although Sasuke may go back to Konaha I doubt somebody like him would chnage that much.

[:[Gaara]:]

I entirely doubt the fact that he would return to Konoha at all over those other two options. But my opinion is just as any other, falable. So you could be right Tamahiko, Sasuke could end up going back to Konoha and being exactly as he was before he killed Itachi; minus the whole wanting his brother dead thing.

The entire path of Sasuke future really decides with Kishimoto and Shonen, and they have shocked us before. Take for example the fact that the leader of the Akatsuki was a previous student of Jiraiya, in all honesty who thought that to be a possibility? Maybe the next few chapters will surprise us with an option that nobody saw as a possibility at all.

[Hatake, Kakashi]

Who cares about Sasuke any more in all honesty?

I wanna know who Pein really is, remember when Jiraiya died he sent the true identity to Tsunade =] Thats what I wanna know about! Like there was something more he figured out about his ability or something, I dont recall exactly what.

[justu]

I think it is safe to assume that Pein is eitheir Nagato or Yahiko. They were those two kids from the rain village that Jiraya looked after. Nagato had the eyes like Pein and when he killed this one guy it said the birth of Pein.... but Yahiko was there as welll and Yahiko has the personality that matches Pein so its eitheir one of them. You never know because Yahiko could've taken Nagato's eyes you know sort of like Kakashi...... That's my thoughts though Kakashi-kun


Eithier That OR


Nagato is still Pein but just using dead bodies for his justsu. I think like he brought them back sort of like Orichimaru did with the Kages and when he did they got his power of Rinnegan.

[:[Gaara]:]

I feel that could be very true Tamahiko. But something tells me it's more like a human puppetry technique. It's probably to the point where Pein is still in control, and as Yahiko he could hide amongst his puppets in order to keep a close eye on the fight. Then again, Pein could also be Nagato, which would be to say that he doesn't include himself in the fight at all. It would be like playing a video-game to him, where if he fails, he still lives no to see the next day, as he's not in danger of combat. I believe it is Nagato, and Pein just uses those forms he has revealed as puppets as he watches from a safe distance, using his Rinnegan Eyes like a bunch of video-screens for a game. This would just be my best guess.
