War Arc will NOT have Naruto vs Sasuke theory
 

Kishi has said in an interview that Naruto vs Sasuke is the end.

Sasuke said he would destroy Konoha.

Sasuke is at Konoha right now talking to Hokage.

Naruto and Friends are fighting Tobi/Madara.


If they are to meet for their final battle then either

1. Naruto has to defeat Tobi and Madara and go to where Sasuke is

2. Sasuke goes to where Naruto is after he...

A. Listens to Hokage. Is unchanged. Slaughters Konoha

B. Listens to Hokage. Is unchanged. Goes to fight Naruto
and leaves Konoha alive for now

C. Listens to Hokage. Is changed. Helps Naruto defeat Tobi and Madara


Here's the problem.

If Sasuke is still evil...why not just slaughter Konoha?
But if that happens then Naruto and the Alliance
will be complete and utter failures.

Is anyone even IN Konoha right now?

I dunno but it seems awfully stupid to leave the village
completely unprotected when the Sauce is out there.

Plus didn't they evacuate everyone?

It would be interesting if Sasuke slaughters Konoha
while Naruto is busy. But it wouldn't help Naruto
look very heroic. Sure Naruto can revive the
village somehow but that would be cheap.
I dunno but it just doesn't seem like the route Kishi would take.


However if Naruto beats Tobi and Madara and goes
to stop Sasuke it will just seem like Sasuke's revenge
was conveniently delayed.

Or if Sasuke turns good then what will be the
point of them fighting?


I dunno but it doesn't seem like Naruto vs Sasuke will
work out too well in this war arc so....

What if it just plain doesn't happen.

Remember that it allegedly Naruto will continue even
after the war arc so again if Naruto vs Sasuke is the
final battle it can't happen in the war arc.

That still leaves the problem of how the Sasuke issue
is resolved in the war arc.

Does Sasuke stay evil and go into hiding?

Does Sasuke turn good?

Does Sasuke die and then get revived later?

My guess is Sasuke turns good. Heck that's basically the
whole reason for Itachi vs Kabuto and the upcoming Hokage rant.

But if Sasuke is good then it would be pointless for him
to fight Naruto in the war.

So has Kishi been pulling our leg and there won't be a fight?

Maybe. I wouldn't put it past him.

But I think what is more likely to happen is

Sasuke turns good

Madara/Obito defeated

New Arc

blah blah blah

Naruto vs Sasuke happens in the Chunnin Exams or something like it.

So...another tournament arc I guess?

What do you think?

Re: War Arc will NOT have Naruto vs Sasuke theory
 

I agree with you completely Sticky.
I don't see them fighting at all and after meeting his brother his heart has twisted and after the Hokage talk it'll completely change.
I see Sasuke going to help out...

Re: War Arc will NOT have Naruto vs Sasuke theory
 

I don't think so. I believe the Kage's will give some reason for Sasuke to go find Madara, likely a nonsensical reason; such is how Kishi writes.

Naruto and Sasuke defeat Madara blah, blah, blah then they fight each other. The end.

Sasuke destroying Konoha would be a nice touch, but it won't happen.

Re: War Arc will NOT have Naruto vs Sasuke theory
 

lol...immediately i started reading and u suggesting a fight at konoha, i started thinking, what if their fight interrupts an ongoing chunin exams at the arena? afterall their both still genin... then i got beat to it at the end...u already suggested that...

Definitely sasuke whether he changes or not will fight naruto... now, think about a reason for a changed sasuke to still want to fight naruto...

Re: War Arc will NOT have Naruto vs Sasuke theory
 

The MUST fight at the Valley of the End.
Uchiha and Senju. One last time.
I think that they are going to replace those statues with Sasuke and Naruto.
Madara and Hashirama fought due to hatred Madara had towards the system.
The circle of hatred.
Sasuke and Naruto will end it....
They'll fight all out, but they'll know what the other is thinking when they ''exchange blows'', but they won't say a word.

Re: War Arc will NOT have Naruto vs Sasuke theory
 

Sasuke will keep his word to Naruto and fight him first.

While it is in Oro's interest to stop Madara and Obito, I don't want the Kage's involved in the fight. The jutsu has scaled up so much that it's going to be a michael bay movie with all special affects just to show big action rather than focus on the compelling aspects of character. The story will have left part 1 far behind in terms of power scale. And really already has.

ET kages are fan service. It would be more dramatic if only Hiruzen was raised. Then all the dialogue could focus on him trying to turn Sasuke, despite Oro being right there.

Re: War Arc will NOT have Naruto vs Sasuke theory
 

But that makes no sense.

Why would Sasuke fight Naruto after helping him out?

Why just not get involved in Naruto vs Madara and then
kill whoever wins?

Re: War Arc will NOT have Naruto vs Sasuke theory
 

Exactly, it won't make sense. But that is what will happen.
Maybe Sasuke wants the juubi. That would be somewhat plausible.

Re: War Arc will NOT have Naruto vs Sasuke theory
 

It WILL happen

Saskue will find some stupid reason to cause trouble

It is DESTINED for them to battle

Re: War Arc will NOT have Naruto vs Sasuke theory
 

Did you read all the way through? I never said they won't fight at all.
I'm saying they won't fight in THIS arc as in the Shinobi War arc.

They will fight in a chuunin exam or something like they
planned to originally before Orochimaru's invasion.

So instead of trying to kill each other it will be
more of a friendly competition...

Perhaps a competition to decide who becomes Hokage.

How this all happens I dunno. But ever since hearing
that there's gonna be a lot more of Naruto after
the war arc I don't see how we will see Naruto
vs Sasuke in the war arc if it's the "final battle"

A friendly competition at the very end makes the most sense.

Though it will ultimately be a fan service battle.

Still it always has been.

How about Oro takes Sasuke's body, is defeated by Naruto, then Naruto brings Sasuke back to life, without ET.

Then Naruto dies, ending the cycle. The End.
