It’s been known that this battle in the anime and manga will be the end. It’s currently on its way there as during an episode of Japanese show Sakiyomi Jan BANG, viewers saw a message from the creator of the series Masashi Kishimoto who had mentioned that the story is in its final phase. The above message reads:

The battle of Naruto and his comrades is in it’s final phase, in the truest sense of the term. About the Ten Tails, about Madara, and then, about Sasuke…I will continue to raise the tension without restraint, in every way I can! Please follow this story of a boy named Naruto a little while longer, I will greatly appreciate it.

It’s hard to say how long the final phase will last, currently no one knows but it’s making all of us nervous.

In Kishimoto’s interview back in July 2012, he mentioned that Tobi’s true identity will be revealed, and a month of two later we saw his true identity to be revealed as Obito Uchiha. Around the same time it was mentioned that the series would be a little longer than expected with the climax coming soon. Now approaching December 2013, the climax has been reached, and it looks like the end is near. Kishimoto knows the ending in his mind, it’s just a matter of how quickly he can tell us everything without leaving any plot holes.

So what do you think of this?! I’m truly shocked, I hope that it continues on with the awesome and great stuff! Tell me what you think using the comment section below!
