Will Naruto have a happy ending?

[Kakuzu]

Probably after one or two climactic, violent battles...but who doesn't like a sliver of violence before peace is discovered?

[chidoriroar]

i can think of four possible scenarios for a conclusion

1. the akatsuki die and naruto and sasuke battle, it ends with both of them dying but in the end everyone acknowledges naruto

2. the war ends with all the villians dying and tsunade crowns naruto as the 6th hokage

3. same as above but instead tsunade dies

4. during the fight sasuke turns good at the last moment but he still dies

[Sabaku.Soso]

Abt Sasuke and Naruto's problem: the 2 would fight the most awesome battle of the series and wear themselves out in it. In the end, Sasuke would die after completely understanding Naruto and the way he felt. Naruto, in the other hand, would appear to be dead neither but then get saved by an outside affection.
Abt "Eye of the Moon": as most of you, I guess his plans will fail. There will possibly be a fight between him and Naruto, which is decisive.
Abt Naruto himself: Hed become Hokage at the end, probably.

i really think that a couple of people will die. like neji, lee, choji, shino, or some other none really important characters.

but i wanna c naruto and sasuke duke it out. and c only 1 walk away. hahaha...

[Devy]

I think that Jiraiya might die soon too...oh wait....

But I think he'll lose some close friends, maybe not ALL of the rookie nine, but maybe 2 or 3.

After that, it's pwning time.

[BelieveIt]

I think there will definitely be some casualties, but I can't say for sure who it will be. I'd hate to see Kakashi die, but that's me. I think Tsunade may actually be the last to go, since she's the only remaining Sannin. I don't want Naruto to die and I really don't think he will die (and be acknowledged etc). Naruto was already acknowledged and admired by everyone in the village after the Pain arc. So I don't think he could be any more acknowledged at this point, other than being acknowledged by all 5 powers instead of just Konoha and be admired as a war hero or something. I really think that Naruto is going to live, probably barely make it by the skin of his teeth, and finally get to be Hokage. I'm thinking Tsunade is gonna go, which is a shame because I do like her character quite a bit, but being the only remaining sannin, they'll probably take her out. If somehow Sasuke manages to make it and live or something, hopefully he'll see the light finally and go back to the village maybe? Idk. It's kind of difficult to see that happen as well because I just don't see Konoha taking Sasuke back after all that he's done unless Naruto does some serious vouching for him and convinces everyone that by taking Sasuke back to the village and accepting them, they are helping to end the cycle of hatred and promoting peace, etc. I personally think that Sasuke will see the light at the last minute or something and decide to sacrifice himself and save Naruto from a deadly blow (maybe from Tobi, Kabuto or Madara). He may endure the blow long enough for Naruto to take him back to Konoha/"home" one last time before he finally dies or he might just die on the spot instead. Either way it'll be super dramatic and tear-jerking. I'll have a tissue box ready that's for sure. I hope they hurry up with it because I hate waiting. I can't wait to see how the story ends up unfolding!

Sadly as much as I want to say that Sasuke will come to his senses, I do not think it will be a happy ending for all of the characters. Namesly Sasuke or Naruto.

[Jonesy]

Sasuke will die, so happy ending!

[florence-chan]

I think the ninja world will end. If there is a "Naruto 3" it could be about how the ninja world ends, and how Naruto tries to somehow protect it. And men with guns come in;DD That kind of manga/anime would be epiccc. Modern people verses modern ninjas that use swords and jutsus~ And then the ninja world ends and everyone dies.

[Tashi Uchiha]

I think naruto will have a sad yet unexpected ending.

Nar, this would be a HAPPY ENDING.

I meant it not just like that.
But in general a happy ending, with a sad ending as well.

For many.

[Kuromaki]

I don't believe Kishimoto is capable of giving it anything but a happy ending. Even if Naruto & Sasuke die in the end that will be a happy ending for me :P

[Opacityzero]

Well, personally, my sort of 'dream ending' at this point would be that Naruto dies, but not before 'redeeming' Sasuke, and Sasuke becomes Hokage in Naruto's stead and carries on his dreams and philosophies. I think that would be far better than Naruto living. Alternately, Sasuke could redeem himself and give his life. ...Or, they could both die. Either way, it'd be a better ending if at least one of them isn't there to see it.

One way or another, Sasuke will be 'saved' by the end of the manga. I'm just hoping Kishi does it in the right way.

[Tashi Uchiha]

Well i would't expect naruto convincing sasuke into coming back and with all the new techniques that they have learned...someone gonna die but i dunno who.

[luluxiu]

Yes, it will. But i am afraid that Sasuke will die finally. After turn into a totally avenger, he has lose the chance to back to Konoha. And now, if he can still influenced by Itachi, that can be the last chance to him!

[Gen.Gummiebear]

Clearly Naruto will become Hokage. The most interesting question to be yet answered is will Naruto bring his friend back to the village. I don't believe that many more shinobi of the leaf will die however I do see konohamaru dying not because I don't like him but simply to show Naruto true nature. I think this pretty sums up how Naruto will end in about 20 years because the end is not even close yet.

[Throw Rasen-Shuriken]

The basic principal that befalls all story telling, tends a lot of the time, that it does end up all good in the end, the good guys win, the hero wins the lady so forth, so forth. It's very, very rarely, that things don't go normally to those rules, admitting it does get tiring just because, it's the same basic principals constantly repeated..with everything, I start thinking when it gets like that, how about something different for once, with those times...

[AkatsukiMember]

I think it would be a happy ending, but you never no. I would of have never expected Bleach to go in the direction it did.

Spoiler:

The return of the quincies and even a greater devastation of the Soul Society.

[Hyooga]

i think in the end naruto and sasuke will have one final battle and after a long and painful battle they both die
