Discussion Naruto's end and what that means to us.

Recently in an interview, the creator of Naruto, Masashi Kishimoto stated:

Q. Last but not least, what do you want to say to the fans of Naruto in the U.S.?

Naruto is getting close to the climax of the series, and it's going to get really heated from now on, so keep following Naruto until the end. That would make me really happy.

We all knew it was going to happen sooner or later - what with all the major villains dead. Let's just take a look at what we have to look forward too.

Naruto defeats the 'Masked Man' Tobi
The Kages defeat Madara Uchiha
Kabuto is defeated
Sasuke is defeated

And with that Naruto becomes Hokage, or whatever they decide to call him (The Avatar maybe :teehee

) and the series ends.

The first question I wanted to ask everyone?

What the hell are you going to do with your life when Naruto ends?

For me, I'm going to feel completely shitty mid-week not having Naruto there to cheer me up and get me over that mid-week hill, like it has for so many years now.

What do you think Kishimoto is going to do after Naruto?

I really hope he'll go on to create Naruto spin-off manga (Like the long rumored Minato or Itachi Gaiden). Or he might even go onto to write about Naruto's career as Hokage and all the hardships he has to face as an inexperienced leader, I also think it's fine if he wants a break from the Naruto series and creates something completely original - and on that note...

What do you think this means for the Naruto franchise?

Do you think SJ will milk the series (eg: Dragonball GT, I sincerely hope they do nothing that bad to Naruto) or even let another Mangaka write an original story set in the Narutoverse? I would personally love to see another Mangaka's take on the series.

I really just want to know about how everyone feels about Naruto finally coming to an end. Anything on topic is welcome.

P.S: Sorry if this is in the wrong section... I don't post much :derp
