Fuck, no.
I. CANNOT. BELIEVE. THIS.
There has to be some explanation. I won't ever stop believing in Naruto. n_n <3
Ah, and here are more thoughts:
Personally to me, someone like Naruto deserves the world, Kishi can at least make him happy by giving him back Sasuke in the end. That's the least he could do. Cause lmao, just say if Sasuke were to die, and the typical dying-conversation happens where he manages to tell Naruto how he acknowledged their bond, how he love him, blahblahetc, I just don't see how Naruto will be happy with that.
In any case, I guess that's why Sakura, Gaara, Sai, Kakashi, etc are so worried. But hey, isn't it ironic that it's the same person that pushes Naruto to grow stronger and stronger every time? I know he would go as far for other people he love, like he did Gaara. But I can't see, I can't picture him not going all out for Sasuke. So when he said the stuffs that he did say, the message is clear... but I guess we could put it in a rhetorical situation. Yanno, maybe he's just saying that just to show the extend of his loyalty towards Sasuke. From what we could all see, whether people hate or love Naruto, he has tried (and is trying) his BESTest. Like you guys said, in the end, the decision is Sasuke's. WHO KNOWS.
This whole story is mental, if you think about it. Especially at the possibility of Sasuke or Naruto dying . I mean, the whole friendship/love/hatred cycle that involved the First, and then Jiraiya, etc. The whole Naruto story is about this boy, Naruto, wanting to make a change in the whole Ninja world/system. If anyone can change that, surely Naruto can, and that goes back to the whole cycle thing. It should mean killing shouldn't be the solution. Cause if it is.. then what difference would it make? I mean, dying would be a cheap way to solve something. It would be too.. easy if you get what I mean. A change should be when the people directly involved LIVED to tell the story. At least that's how I see it. Again,
NARUTO DESERVES THE WORLD. ;_;
I know Kishi can troll us whenever he wants to, in a matter of decision, but it would be so.. un-Naruto-like. Ah, whatever goes. We'll see.
I'm all ^_______^ now.
Not.
