A part of me wishes that this Naruto is just a shadow clone, so when the last blow hits Sasuke's brilliant plan goes up in smoke. But the bro-fight probably shuns on such an outcome and therefore it probably won't happen.
Two chapters to go, but I just want this fight over with. The action was fine up to now and all, but it just doesn't "feel" satisfying, y'know? Maybe it's the fact that I know neither of them's gonna die or that the fights against Madara, then later Kaguya, were that much more impressive/unpredictable but this fight just doesn't cut it for me. |

Pretty good chapter. Indra's arrow vs Ashura's shuriken? No nonsense and straight up action that kishimoto does his best in. I'm waiting for naruto to turn it around one more time. Kick his ass!
It feels like naruto, gintama and one piece are putting out all the stops in one final contest before naruto finishes up. The chapters from all 3 of them have been brilliant.

I always want to see how can Naruto escape genjutsu from sasuke...Too bad it never happens. Guess Sasuke knows that genjutsu won't work on naruto because of those natural energy or the nine tail inside of naruto?

Chapter 697: Naruto & Sasuke IV
After some disappointments with past chapters, this chapter solved the issues. What Kishi destroyed in 3 chapters, in 1 chapter solves everything. Sasuke made a huge explosion with his jutsu, Indra's Arrow, but for what? He didn't do anything good, just to hurt himself. When he hit the ground, I said...ok, that's the END! It appears that Hashirama and Madara weren't an inspiration to Sasuke, the statues are now headless! Damn you, Sasuke! One of the best shinobi of the world, and you cut their head off. I see Naruto beating Sasuke with his fists, but the fight continues and Sasuke hits back. This fight is like a box match from はじめの一歩 (Hajime no Ippo) ENG; Fighting Spirit. Sakura has awaken. Huh...nothing that matters. This Final Fight will be one-one, neither Kakashi or Sakura will involve in this fight. If they do, we can say that Kishimoto destroyed the whole manga. In the end of this chapter, Sasuke has the upper hand because he had extracted from Naruto all his chakra with his Rinnegan. Probably, Kyuubi will help Naruto? Next chapter will BE decisive. Who will win: Sasuke or Naruto? THE FIGHT ENDS NEXT WEEK! 698, FIGHT ENDS! Great chapter! RATE: 10/10! |

Think about it. We are two chapters away from the end and still haven't ended the fight. Even at 39 pages, the epilogue will feel extremely rushed. It is amazing that Kishi is leaving so much up to the movie. |
