Make Your Long Term Naruto Predictions Here!

[HeHateMe]

I just thought it'd be good to discuss some of what's going on with Naruto, and it would be interesting to see if any of the long term predictions we make about the series comes true! Imagine writing your predictions now and a year later in the manga, you're dead on! Sort of dumb, but hey, I'm a fan of Japanese cartoons and comics about a ninja that loves eating ramen so as far as I am concerned, that's pretty cool!

Some predictions:

1. Kakashi will die. The current gaiden on Kakashi, at least to me, is just providing background/flashback material for when Kakashi will have this life threatening ninja battle, where he will die, probably trying to protect Naruto or Sakura or something important to Konoha. I really think the moment where you see the mysterious venus fly trap akatsuki is a foreshadowing of a future battle between Kakashi and the fly trap guy, and Kakashi will lose, and unfortunately, die.

2. Tsunade will remain the 5th hokage for a long time, until Naruto is ready and gets powerful enough to become Hokage. This will probably take a lot of time to occur, so I wouldn't expect this to happen until the series will come to an end.

3. THERE WILL BE A BATTLE WHERE GAI SENSEI SHOWS OFF HIS JACKED UP BRUCE LEE POWERS!!! I am so waiting for an episode like this, and I really cannot wait! I think Gai is hilarious.

4. Sakura will have a boob job. Yeah, her resemblance to Tsunade will continue - not only will she get healing techniques and bizarre strength, she'll round out a lot more!

That's it for now!

[Nyarlathotep]

1. Rock Lee will win a battle (probably against another village's special ninja forces aka ANBU)

2. Neji will pwn even more

3. Naruto is going to be ungodly strong at the end of the manga.

4. TenTen will get a personality (hopefully)

5. Anko will show us her CSL2 (hopefully)

6. There will be another ninja war, just to make the manga less linear and predictable.

That's all what I can think right now.

[Gaara[ i ]]

Long term prediction hmmmmm after about 150 episode the people that make naruto would get tired of the same person and then put Gaara as the main character and changes the title of the anime to Gaara...WOOO

[HeHateMe]

Some more predictions -

1. If Naruto makes $$$ for another year or two, a spinoff series will develop, maybe even focusing on Konohamaru.

2. The 4th will be revealed as Naruto's dad.

3. Temari and Shikamaru will marry.

4. Rock Lee will learn how to unlock all the gates.

[Dyroness]

MAJOR STUFF.

- The Entire Akatsuki will come one day to kill Orochimaru, AND WILL SUCCEED, just when he's preparing Sasuke to do "what he wants to" before he loses his body. Sasuke will try dealing with Itachi at that exact time.

- Second Sasuke Rescue Mission. This time we'll have Sakura, Lee and maybe Shino joining. And maybe a second Sand interference again (Remember Shika's talk with Temari >.>)

-That mission will be at the same time as Akatsuki's assault to Sound, so we'll have a big encounter featuring naruto's team and every single villain alive xD Akatsuki's objectives will switch to naruto immediately.

-Itachi's true plans and cause for the Uchiha Massacre will be shown in that ocasion.

- Appearance of the third Mangekyou Sharingan user somewhere, based on some really interesting event to be shown in Kakashi's Gaiden.

- Rock Lee will become handsome (I know. WTF? We'll have to wait to see what happens - Really, if he does, I'll make the stupidest post ever in any forum XD)

- We'll be seeing "show off" chapters showing all the changes in Konoha.

- Hinata will not be so shy anymore. She'll be much more confident, building her own ideas about the clan and kicking ass, hopefully! ><

- We may see Konohamaru and co. / Hanabi as genins.

- Tsunade's face will finally pop into the Hokage monument.

- Because of the Curse Seal, Sasuke will struggle against death, only to be saved by someone really important.

- Kabuto will have a trump card and still survive even if Orochi dies.

- Neji will gain the 128 Palms of Hakke.

- Sasuke will have changed so much you'll see him as hopeless. Maybe not only Naruto will have to "Bring him to the light" again.

There is soo much more I could type, but uhh, ok.. >.>

[Akamaru Mask]

everybody seems to have forgotten one major thing, Gai will have lost the years when youth is possible or whatever and cannot use Konoha Senpou cause he's got a bad hip. Also they might be taller. And older. And have new skills. :amuse

[Spectrum]

- Kakashi will not die, just to spite all those people who've been predicting his death ever since his first encounter with Orochimaru. :p Instead he'll get back in shape and kick Kabuto's ass, and perhaps become the sixth Hokage toward the end of the series (with Naruto then becoming the seventh).

- Rock Lee will die in a blaze of glory, perhaps by using all eight gates to take out some supposedly unbeatable Akatsuki guy in the process, thereby finally proving his nindo to the world, but at the cost of his life.

- Sasuke will figure out an alternate way of getting the Mangekyou Sharingan (possibly by accident right in the middle of his final showdown with his brother), and use the third Mangekyou technique, Susanoou, to finally finish off Itachi for good.

OR,

- Sasuke will at some point be forced to choose between killing Itachi and saving Naruto's life, and he'll choose to save Naruto, taking a critical hit in the process. Ironically enough, he gets the Mangekyou Sharingan this way--by dying for his closest friend, rather than killing him. And, um... either he uses the Mangekyou on Itachi with his dying breath, and they have a battle of wills in the Tsukuyomi universe (so he can still kill Itachi before he bites it), or Naruto will kill Itachi instead.

- Kabuto will betray Orochimaru. I don't know when, I don't know why, and I don't know how, but damn it, it's got to happen. XD

- Akatsuki will actually succeed in capturing Naruto so we can finally see just what they want with the kid... probably they'll somehow manage to unseal Kyuubi so that he can be the final boss that everyone faces, blah blah blah...

- Naruto will either become Hokage in the end, or die by sealing Kyuubi away like his father (ahem...) before him, only this time for good.

- Everyone else will... do... stuff... but I won't bother writing it because I think I've already burnt myself out.

[Requiem for the light]

Shino will remove his sunglasses, revealing the most awesome set of blue eyes seen in ages.

Sakura will stop dodging Rock Lee's love hearts.

[mow]

BEST PREDICTIONS EVER! i repped you :laugh

[Akamaru Mask]

I like the idea of of Sasuke redeeming himself to save Naruto, maybe causing naruto to unleash the full potential of his Kyubi strength and saying something like "Is this what you wanted?" and then killing all of the surviving akatsuki after Lee, Shikamaru, Neji and Kiba/Shino defeat some. Also Jiraiya, overcome with guilt includes every moment of perversion he and Sandaime chalked up in thier time in his newest book: "Confessions of a Perverted Hermit".
Also Orochimaru will mess up the bodyswap and end up trapped inside the body of one of his snakes, maybe Manda and be forced to wear a muzzle and give young children rides for food. On second thought maybe not the last two. Just wishful thinking

[AsanoHa]

Sannin Predictions-Well if this were Shaman King I'd asy Orochimaru and Sasuke get redeemed by Jiraiya/Tsunade and Naruto/Sakura at the final climactic battle of the manga, but since this is Naruto I'd say all the Sannins die in a blaze of glory and finally come to understand one-another.

Hokage Succession-Jiraiya will either become joint Hokage w/Tsunade (probably in fuinction not in title) or become Hokage after Tsunade steps down and then Kakashi will become Hokage and then Naruto.

Team 7 Predictions-Sasuke will be redeemed. I don't if it will be before or as he's dying, but he will apologize to Naruto and Sakura. Now it bites it directly afterward or not I do not know. They will all have a big friekin' battle in which they summon Gamabunta, Katsuii, and Manda.

and Shino will fight a CSL2 Sound-nin... that's right you heard me, Curse Level 2 Sound-Ninja... for Shino to fight.

[Dyroness]

Yep, most likely the 2nd Great Sennin battle. It will really rock... @_@

[Hokage_Naruto]

My Kakashi theory on his sharingan eye

Yondaime dies and Kakashi seeks revenge.

Obito tries and stop him but he still goes.

Obito ends up following him with that girl joining him.

Kakashi gets ambushed and just when is about to lose Obito and the girl joins him.
The girl dies and tries to get revenge for the girl. Obito thinks they should go back. Kakashi says no. Obito gets in the way he gets killed. Kakashi takes his almost dying body away from the battle. Obito's dying words "I didnt even fully develop my sharingan eye yet"

Kakashi finds a way to get the sharingan eye using the kunai yondy gave to him.

He gets the sharingan eye.

[Spectrum]

Actually, I think the manga is hinting pretty strongly at the fact that Kakashi is going to face the same choice that his father did--the mission, or his friends' lives--and he's going to make the wrong choice. I don't know where the Sharingan will come into play, but I'm pretty sure that's how Obito and Rin will ultimately meet their ends. (And of course, Kakashi will realize too late that his father made the right decision all along, hence his "ninja who put the rules above their teammates are lower than trash" attitude in years to come.)

[Ultimecion]

wow.. what a prediction.. can't wait to see the next chapter.. :D

[Bizarro]

aight, they are gonna skip 3 years and everyone is strong
"Horray"
Itachi vs Naruto:
Sasuke is there for some reason and Itachi is all like
"Your Dead"
But then Sasuke is there and is all like
"Hell no bitch"
Becuase he needs to kill naruto to get the Mangekyou Sharingan
BAM attack blocked and Sasuke gets the Mangekyou Sharingan b/c he saved his closest friend, he gets healed somehow and he and Naruto kill Itachi
"AhhH im Itachi and im dead"
Kakashi becomes hokage b/c Tsunde is old and dies bla bla bla stuff bla bla bla gang fights they all assume Orochimaru is dead or in a spider hole somewhere
"Horray"
Kakashi is mysteriously killed later, oh no Orochimaru is back then more conflict between the protagonist and antagonist bla bla bla Naruto learns to summon the Kyubi fox like the frong and shit and beats Orochimaru bla bla bla
Some form of happy ending
"Horray"

[seta101]

Naruto
I think Naruto will continue to gain strength and powers from Kyuubi, and will see Jiraya more and more as a father figure. Eventually, the Akatsuki will come for him, during the second Sasuke rescue mission. Naruto will go berserk when...

Jiraya
Jiraya will confront Akatsuki, minus Itachi, eventually ending up in the annihilation of a lot of land, the Akatsuki themselves, and Jiraya. (maybe he'll create a humongous Rasengan, blowing himself up and the Akatsuki?) (don't hate me for this one, I like Jiraya as much as the next guy.) With the Akatsuki gone...

Itachi
Itachi will kill Orochimaru before he can swap with Sasuke, leaving him free to take on a very strong Curse Seal Level 2 Sasuke. We will finally get to see Itachi perform that black fire stuff, and during the fight, Itachi will begin to remind Sasuke about how much friends mean, and how Sasuke will be leaving that all behind.. and blah blah blah all that warm and fuzzy stuff. At the end, Sasuke will renounce his seal, just as Itachi is dying, snagging redemption for the both of them. Sasuke will then look for Naruto and find...

Sakura
Who will have become an extremely good healer, like a mini-Tsunade. She will lead Sasuke deeper into the Sound Village, where eventually they will stumble across an entire Curse Seal army. They will get surrounded, and while taking many evil Curse Seal minions out, they will reach what looks like the end, where they will confess their love for each other. Determined to die fighting, they stand, when...

Kakashi
Kakashi comes, leading Konoha's most elite forces, including the former Konoha Rookies; Shikamaru, Chouji, Ino, Kiba, Neji, Hinata, Rock Lee, Ten Ten, and Shino. As the fighting continues, Konoha's forces suffer heavy losses. As it looks like hope is lost...

Gaara
The Sand arrives to save the day! Temari comes in and saves Shikamaru's butt, again, Kankurou controls a small army of puppets, and Gaara generally runs around beating Curse Seal soldiers with his sand. When the last soldier falls...

Kyuubi
Kyuubi, as a result of extreme mental stress and anguish on Naruto's part, is released, spewing fire, fox magic stuff, and very bad things. Trampling all over stuff, (Sound Village buildings maybe?) Naruto uses all of the power Kyuubi leaves behind within him in a last ditch effort to stop the Demon Fox. Doing tremendous damage, Naruto almost takes down Kyuubi, however, he is brought down before the final blow, much to everyone's shock. Naruto smiles, as he finally gets the attention he's always wanted, and dies surrounded by friends and allies...

Tsunade
One of these people being Tsunade, who came late to the battle. Everyone lends a hand in trying to take out Kyuubi, but one by one they all fall, exhausted, or in the case of nameless extras, dead. Tsunade, with whatever strength she has left, finishes off the Demon Fox. Then, using the ultimate medical Jutsu, she exchanges her life for Naruto's, reviving him, but dying in the process. She dies happy, as she will finally get to see her love and her little brother again.

[leonine]

Naruto vs Sasuke: All out effort, super battle, do I respect you!@211!/?

[niceguy645]

the ultimate end would be after team 7 and the other leaf nins killed the atasuki members but somehow they unsealed the kyubi and they summon gamabuta, katsuii, and manda to destroy it, thus causing the most epic battle in naruto history thus far

[Narutofan]

Jiraya
Jiraya will confront Akatsuki, minus Itachi, eventually ending up in the annihilation of a lot of land, the Akatsuki themselves, and Jiraya. (maybe he'll create a humongous Rasengan, blowing himself up and the Akatsuki?) (don't hate me for this one, I like Jiraya as much as the next guy.) With the Akatsuki gone...

I hate you for the dragonball twist.

W-wow. That's an incredible prediction... I'd go teary-eyed *_*
Good job!

[Genjing]

Naruto will become a big perv and have pervy filler adventures with Jiraiya and Kakashi.

[Rattan]

Here's hoping Naruto never goes down the path of flinging chakrah at eachother.

Gai shows us what it looks like to unlock all 10 gates in order to protect Lee from an Akatsuki member. Feeling proud that he has seen Lee mature into a great ninja, he dies happy whilst pwning the unfortunate Akatsuki member.

Rock Lee will actually have some luck in his opponents in that they are either weak against Taijutsu or they can be defeated by Taijutsu. Cuz it always seems to be raining **** on Rock Lee.

[niceguy645]

lee has the worst luck has the most spirit

[Violence Fight]

that DBZ style twist was alright HOWEVER, we have pretty much already seen it(Or close, in Sandaime vs. Orochimaru.) although we haven't seen BOTH people die from this, so it can still be done.

[Askani]

This takes place in "Kakashi Gaiden" and they are just coming back from the bridge destroying mission. OK, this is just my prediction. This has no real evidence to back it up.

The team heads back to Kohona tired and weary from their hazardous mission.Obito gets more and more jealous of kakashi as time pass, and decides to seek training from the manipulative Orochimaru, whom accepts him because sharingan intrigues him. Time past, and after Yondaime becomes the 4th, orochimaru runs away with Obito with him. A year or two later, Kakashi is sent on a mission, in which obito pops up. Obito tells kakashi that he trained under orochimaru for the past couple of years and realized that all the dark shit that orochimaru taught me was extremely evil. He teams up with Kakashi for the mission but in a middle of a fight obito gets a mortal wound, and kakashi gets blinded by the enemy's light justsu. After defeating the enemy, in obito final words he tells Kakashi, "I always respected you and you were always my greatest rival and greatest friend. Please take something that i hold dearly and worked on my entire short-lived life. My sharingan. I can pass the power of the sharingan to a person eye. even though you are blind, when in battle you can use my sharingan." From then on, Kakashi covers his left eye because of the blindness but in battle turns on his sharingan to fight. kakashi buries Obito where he died, and then leave. Suddenly, we see someone lurking in the dark. we here the infamous laughter of darkness, "KuKuKuKu".Orochimaru whispers "that was quite some acting". Then Obito emerge slowly out of the ground as if he is intangible. Obito then says, "it's not that easy to fool the famous Kakashi, kukuku. Now my name will be restored and and no one will sought me out". Orochimaru then says, "Was it necessary to give your sharingan to kakashi? Why did you do it?" Then Obito has a small smile on his face, "Sharingan is the only thing that can help kakashi compete with me in the future, and i never want the rivalry to end. Hmm, i wonder if my cousin Itachi will pass my test of power and have the guts to do what he needs to do to join us. Ah, and Kisame is also promising. My, My, already Akatsuki will soon be formed". Then Obito thinks "I will be waiting for you Kakashi,...kukuku". Then, three years later.....

So what do u think? I think if this happened, there will be more questions than answers, and everything will be thrown in a loop. It would be exciting! EVERYONE, I KNOW THIS ISN'T GOING TO HAPPE, though it would be interesting if it did. Oh, and i firmly believe Rock Lee, after the three years, will be able to open the 8 (is it eight?) out of 10 gates without damaging himself which will give him a power up boost for sure after the three years (think about it, how much more can he improve on in just martial arts to look cool on manga beside gaining speed).

[occasionalutopia]

My wild and not-so-wild speculations:

I agree with Spectrum about Kakashi going on to greater heights instead of uh, dying XD Kakashi will definitely kick Kabuto's ass eventually. With his former students under direct tutelage of the Sannin, Sasuke gone to the dark side and the gravity of the Akatsuki wanting the Kyuubi weighing on his mind - he'll definitely have the time and motivation to train and reach his true potential.

Kakashi = Rokudaime may sound whack now, but Kishi seems to like patterns, in which case Kakashi would be the most logical choice as Tsunade's successor:

1st & 2nd trained 3rd
3rd trained Orochi, Jiraiya, Tsunade (5th)
Jiraiya trained Yondaime (4th)
4th trained Kakashi (6th? :laugh), Obito, Rin
Kakashi trained Naruto (7th? :smile-big), Sasuke, Sakura

That, and Kishimoto did candidly consider Kakashi as Godaime in an old interview. So there's hope yet XD

Orochimaru will be killed by Sasuke, perhaps with help from Kabuto. Manda might want to join the fun and games as well, considering he was pretty pissed off that the last time he helped Orochi, he ended up having his jaws clenched shut with a sword.

If Itachi is killed, it will be by Sasuke's hand, no one else. Only way Itachi doesn't get butchered by Sasuke is if there's some melodramatic plot-twist where Itachi didn't kill the clan or was "forced" to kill the clan for some bleeding-heart greater good. God I hope that doesn't happen. I just don't see any ending other than a fight to the death between those two Uchihas.

Naruto and Sasuke will have at least two rematches, the first one a tentative test of the waters at their newfound skills against each other, replete with gazillions of flashbacks. Sasuke leaves midway for some reason to leave the fans in anticipation of the outcome of a full-out fight. The second rematch around, they'll fight to the bone and Naruto triumphs, because he's the hero of the show and all that.

Tsunade will die when the Akatsuki come a-knocking, and her death will make Naruto go Kyubi level 7,589,450x and he'll proceed to kick the ass out of a lot of bad guys who previously thought they were the shit. Other possible casualties when the Akatsuki visits: Jiraiya and Gai. The more comrades die the more it compounds Naruto's rage and payback coolness of course.

Naruto achieves his Hokage dream. This isn't even a prediction, it's a virtual certainty XD Oh and somewhere along the line, his relation to Yondaime will be revealed.

Where does Sakura fit in amid all this?

She almost dies trying to save/protect Sasuke in some way, reawakening Sasuke's affection for Team 7 to the surface. Because we all know that after the timeskip, Sasuke will assume the persona of this badass avenger who appears to have zero feelings for his ex-comrades, but his cold facade has to be shattered sometime.

and/or

She brings Naruto back from the brink of death with her l337 medic skills. She realises her feelings for Naruto while he's fighting for his life and they hook up after that (NaruSaku-ers rejoice! :P )

On pure crack speculation:

[Hinata grows a spine, blossoms and blah blah - marries Neji and the Branch House genius finally gets to rule the roost in the Main House where he really belongs. No, it's not that sick. XP All Hyuuga have Byakugan, and I don't think that they've managed to keep it that way by allowing Hyuuga to randomly marry outside of the clan. Plus NejiHina isn't technically incest since they're not direct siblings. Heck in Narutoworld, health problems due to inbreeding prolly aren't even an issue XD]

Speaking of Neji, I'd love to see him fight Kisame. Dude with chakra-eating sword vs. chakra-emitting/chakra x-ray machine - how would that turn out?

The Sand siblings will come to Konoha's aid during the Akatsuki madness. Because that's the only way they get to feature prominently in the story anyway.

InoShikaChou and prolly Tenten join the ANBU.

A passing vulture decides to drop dead mid-flight and lands right on Konohamaru, killing him instantly. Moegi and Udon somehow decide biting the dead vulture in retaliation and grief would be a good idea, contract a new strain of bird flu and die.

[kinkajou]

Sasuke will kill Itachi
Sasuke will the mangekyou in an other way(killing itachi brother=best friend before?)
Sakura will be a rgeat healer like Tsunade with manda and not the great strength
Shikamaru and Temari will marry(as chouji and ino?)
kakashi will be 6th hokage naruto the 7th
Itachi and akatsuki will kill orochimaru
all the genin(chouji lee neji etc ..;) will kick akatsuki's ass
JIraiya will teach lotsof great techniques to naruto and diapear as before
Konohamaru will become a great jounin

[Akamaru Mask]

Jiraya
Jiraya will confront Akatsuki, minus Itachi, eventually ending up in the annihilation of a lot of land, the Akatsuki themselves, and Jiraya. (maybe he'll create a humongous Rasengan, blowing himself up and the Akatsuki?) (don't hate me for this one, I like Jiraya as much as the next guy.) With the Akatsuki gone...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! Not Jiraiya.

But as ways to die go, its a good one, worthy of the mighty Ero sennin.
One of Naruto's closest people will die, either Sasuke, Kakashi or Jiraiya. It couldn't be Sakura because she'll help Naruto pick up the pieces.

[Gaara[ i ]]

Yep, most likely the 2nd Great Sennin battle. It will really rock... @_@


A great hermit battle? .....

[Lee Rock]

Just as the time skip is wrapping up, the Sound village is attacked by the full force of Akatsuki. We're reintroduced to Sasuke who fights and kills Kisame to show his new strength. Orochimaru is wounded by Itachi but manages to escape thanks to Kabuto. They meet up with Sasuke and convice him to retreat, as Itachi is surrounded by fellow Akatsuki thus beyond reach for the moment. They escape but the village and it's other inhabitants are destroyed.

About two years (Naruto time) after the time skip Naruto gets a tip about the location of Sasuke who parted ways with Orochimaru after the village's fall. He goes to tell Sakura but, seeing the pain at the mention of Sasuke's name, decides not to say anything and go it alone.

Reaching the area Sasuke has been sighted in, Naruto is soon attacked by Itachi, who tracked down Sasuke knowing that Naruto would not be far behind. When Itachi goes to use Mangekyou to subdue Naruto the Kyuubi consciousness appears in the "mental world" that Itachi tried to trap Naruto in. Calling Itachi an arrogant mortal Kyuubi throws off the power of the Mangekyou and while Itachi is reeling from the shock Naruto plunges a kunai in Itachi's chest, killing him.

Unfortunately, the sounds of the battle attract Sasuke, who arrives just in time to see Naruto kill his brother. He stares in shock until Naruto notices him and calls out his name, then he flees.

After that we'd have several big arcs which would include the Second Sannin Battle (Orochimaru finally dies by Jiraiya and Tsunade's attacks) and the Akatsuki showdown (Naruto and the former gennin taking them on). As Naruto is facing the leader and on the brink of losing, he is saved by Sasuke. They defeat him together and Sasuke leaves after the battle without a word.

Shortly after returning from defeating Akatsuki Naruto is hanging with Tsunade when a bloody Shizune comes running in. She was on a mission with Kakashi when they were attacked. When she came to the copy nin was gone.

Searches commence, but no word is heard from Kakashi for a month. One day, when Sakura is collecting medical herbs, she is confronted by Sasuke. She goes on for a while about how great it will be to all be reunited, then remisses that Kakashi wasn't there to complete Team 7. Sasuke says that Kakashi won't be coming and tosses her a Sharingan-ed eyeball. He says it took Kakashi a long time to die.

Sakura tells him she was trained by Tsunade and she'll make him pay, but she gets beaten within an inch of her life. Sasuke tells her to pass on a message to Naruto. Naruto took away his life by killing Itachi, and now Sasuke was going to return the favor. Cue the final battle of the series, with Naruto being the one to walk away this time.

[sbx]

My theory is that at some point a bad guy(or girl :laugh ) previously unheard of will show up and admit to being responsible for or have connections with all of the bad guys we have now. I also have several sub-theories based on this that more or less tie into eachother.

1. This person could have been a former student or associate of Orochi's. He/she could have kept in touch with him. Maybe even pointed Orochi in Sasuke's direction. How did Orochi find out about Sasuke still being alive in the first place, let alone learn about his potential? Kisame, Itachi's partner, didn't even know there had been a surviver. I doubt Itachi would have told Orochi.
2. This person could be responsible for Itachi's view of his clan. He/she could have brainwashed him into thinking that his clan is so bad that they needed to be eliminated. He/she could even have been Itachi's teacher at some point. Someone had to have taught the guy the basics. He/she could even have ordered Itachi to kill his clan. He/she could have found out that Sasuke had been spared and could have seen the boy as a potential obstacle in his/her plans. So, he/she 'gave' Sasuke to Orochi to deal with.
3. He/she could be the person behind Akatsuki. Perhaps he/she was the one that first started the organization or be it's main benefactor. It would explain how both Orochi and Itachi ended up in it if you go with my first two theories. He/she could have talked them both into joining after they ditched Konoha.
4. And last, but certainly not least, Kyuubi. Nobody knows why Kyuubi attacked Konoha. I have two theories about this that tie into all the previous. First, He/she could have attempted to summon Kyuubi and tame him to aid in whatever plans he/she has. He/she couldn't control Kyuubi and it got loose and went on a rampage to prove that he is unstoppable and to deter any further thoughts that he can be controlled. We all know how that turned out though, don't we? :D Anyway, when all is said and done, he/she decides to bide his/her time and go for Kyuubi again when he/she has lackys strong enough to do it for him/her (i.e. Itachi and Kisame).
Second Kyuubi theory is he/she saw the Yondaime as a barrier in whatever plan he/she had and decided that he needed to be eliminated. He/she decided to lure Yondaime-sama into a trap by putting the village he was sworn to protect in danger. What better way to do this than to sic a mall-sized demon fox on it? Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on who you ask), he/she's plan succeeded. He/she realized too late what a useful tool Kyuubi is, and now wants him back. This theory ends the same as the previous.

So, what do ya'll think? Plossible or complete bull shit?

[AsanoHa]

Naruto becomes a Jounin sensei and either trains Konohamaru and his two friends or Kakashi's, Iruka's, and Shizune's kids. Naruto continues to scuffle with Sasuke through his adult life either eventually killing him or redeeming him. He becomes Hokage after Kakashi at the end of the series .

Sakura... doesn't really do anything extraordinary. Maybe she gets married to someone unimportant, has some kids, becomes a doctor instead of a ninja. Maybe she trains her own genin team, summons Katsuii, and becomes worthy of being the next Tsunade. I don't know.

Sasuke either gets redeemed or kills Orochimaru (and Kabuto) and supplants. Either way he kills Itachi. If he gets redeemed Itachi's death will be accidental because Sasuke realized it was wrong to seek for revenge his whole life. Or he straight up pwns Itachi thus confirming his evilness. No matter what happens (redemption or no redemption) Sasuke dominates Manda and uses him in battle.

[jemakai]

Gaara will become Kazekage(possibly after the time skip) and become a strong ally to the leaf and help Naruto when he asks for help

Naruto will face Kyuubi in some form. Possibly because Kyuubi is slowly affecting Naruto(their chakras are merging after all).

Sasuke will face Itachi and get bet again, only after he Either shakura or Naruto are in trouble will he awake his mange sharingan and beat Itachi, but he may not kill him.

Some one will kill Orochimaru, take your pick

There will be another shinobi war witch will more then likely be interupted by Kyuubi

Naruto will beat Kyuubi(without dying) with his own power, proving that he is strong without it

He may or may not want to become a Hokage and choose his own way of the ninja

[Mizura]

The various Akatsuki members will probably get killed by the the rest of the Naruto cast. This would be a great occasion for the grown-up Genins to show off their new skills (yay!). It's also a Lot better than having Naruto kill Akatsuki members off one by one, as that would get repetitive quickly... whereas if the opponents aren't quite as powerful as Naruto, we'd possibly get some major strategy scenes (yes! less dbz-ing!). The Jounin teachers will probably also have to face off some of the Akatsuki members, I can see Gai sacrificing himself by opening all 8 gates and taking out some of the opponents, right after flashing a final smile to Lee (aww...).

As for Orochimaru... strangely enough I've just thought up the possibility that Orochimaru might take over Kabuto's body after failing to transfer to Sasuke for one reason or another. It's Kabuto's suggestion of course (in the manga, he's already said after all "there's always me"). However, to Orochimaru's surprise, instead of repressing Kabuto's personality, Kabuto is the one to regain control over his own body, stealing Orochimaru's skills on the same occasion. He planned it of course. That would be a surprising twist. Then this new Kabuto will be the opponent...

Sakura will grow stronger of course, though not as much as the others. She'd be a medical specialist... but she'll be able to devise combat strategies using her medical skills, therefore incapacitating or at least hurting unsuspecting opponents. So she won't be useless in battle either. (I'm not a Sakura fan, but hey... no reason to bash her)

Naruto will certainly be on the verge of losing control over the Kyuubi sooner or later. But in the end he'll still have the upper hand.

Say, plot-wise, it's possible that Naruto gets successfully kidnapped by the Akatsuki, and it's when all his friends go to save him that they face off the rest of the Akatsuki. Not sure where Orochimaru comes in though, maybe he comes in earlier.

I also hope that instead of one major time-skip, they'd show some of the Genins carrying out missions or training. It would be a good occasion to build character interaction. And quite frankly, I really, Really want to see Shikamaru, Ino and Chouji in an espionnage or retrieval mission. With Shikamaru's brains and his and Ino's abilities, can you begin to imagine the possible twists? *goes starry-eyed* Of course, Chouji would be the ever reliable back-up. It's a pity that with this arc, they've already grown in power, because if they hadn't, there would have been so much more strategizing in an espionnage mission... ah well.

[RaitoRyuukashin]

------------------------------------------My long term predictions(when it happens just drop your jaw and be amazed --------------------------------



1. The leader of Akatsuki is female
2. This leader coerced Itachi 2 kill his clan
3. Ebisu is indeed not the strongest jounin and dies ---> masterbating <----
4. Naruto does not become hokage and gives it up for some strange but heartfelt reason.

[RaitoRyuukashin]

Here's hoping Naruto never goes down the path of flinging chakrah at eachother.

Gai shows us what it looks like to unlock all 10 gates in order to protect Lee from an Akatsuki member. Feeling proud that he has seen Lee mature into a great ninja, he dies happy whilst pwning the unfortunate Akatsuki member.

Rock Lee will actually have some luck in his opponents in that they are either weak against Taijutsu or they can be defeated by Taijutsu. Cuz it always seems to be raining **** on Rock Lee.
10 gates..... whats past death gate..... " omfg i am really ded gate" , and " o man i am so glad the author made this gate so i can whip arse gate"

[kinkajou]

Lee rock redictons look really great i agree on most things

[RoCkLeE48]

Naruto
I think Naruto will continue to gain strength and powers from Kyuubi, and will see Jiraya more and more as a father figure. Eventually, the Akatsuki will come for him, during the second Sasuke rescue mission. Naruto will go berserk when...

Jiraya
Jiraya will confront Akatsuki, minus Itachi, eventually ending up in the annihilation of a lot of land, the Akatsuki themselves, and Jiraya. (maybe he'll create a humongous Rasengan, blowing himself up and the Akatsuki?) (don't hate me for this one, I like Jiraya as much as the next guy.) With the Akatsuki gone...

Itachi
Itachi will kill Orochimaru before he can swap with Sasuke, leaving him free to take on a very strong Curse Seal Level 2 Sasuke. We will finally get to see Itachi perform that black fire stuff, and during the fight, Itachi will begin to remind Sasuke about how much friends mean, and how Sasuke will be leaving that all behind.. and blah blah blah all that warm and fuzzy stuff. At the end, Sasuke will renounce his seal, just as Itachi is dying, snagging redemption for the both of them. Sasuke will then look for Naruto and find...

Sakura
Who will have become an extremely good healer, like a mini-Tsunade. She will lead Sasuke deeper into the Sound Village, where eventually they will stumble across an entire Curse Seal army. They will get surrounded, and while taking many evil Curse Seal minions out, they will reach what looks like the end, where they will confess their love for each other. Determined to die fighting, they stand, when...

Kakashi
Kakashi comes, leading Konoha's most elite forces, including the former Konoha Rookies; Shikamaru, Chouji, Ino, Kiba, Neji, Hinata, Rock Lee, Ten Ten, and Shino. As the fighting continues, Konoha's forces suffer heavy losses. As it looks like hope is lost...

Gaara
The Sand arrives to save the day! Temari comes in and saves Shikamaru's butt, again, Kankurou controls a small army of puppets, and Gaara generally runs around beating Curse Seal soldiers with his sand. When the last soldier falls...

Kyuubi
Kyuubi, as a result of extreme mental stress and anguish on Naruto's part, is released, spewing fire, fox magic stuff, and very bad things. Trampling all over stuff, (Sound Village buildings maybe?) Naruto uses all of the power Kyuubi leaves behind within him in a last ditch effort to stop the Demon Fox. Doing tremendous damage, Naruto almost takes down Kyuubi, however, he is brought down before the final blow, much to everyone's shock. Naruto smiles, as he finally gets the attention he's always wanted, and dies surrounded by friends and allies...

Tsunade
One of these people being Tsunade, who came late to the battle. Everyone lends a hand in trying to take out Kyuubi, but one by one they all fall, exhausted, or in the case of nameless extras, dead. Tsunade, with whatever strength she has left, finishes off the Demon Fox. Then, using the ultimate medical Jutsu, she exchanges her life for Naruto's, reviving him, but dying in the process. She dies happy, as she will finally get to see her love and her little brother again.


Dam dude good prediction

[Arazial]

First, I'm like 2 hours over on my normal sleeping schedule. So I apologize for the bad puncuation and most assuredly many spelling errors.

Not necessarily what I think will happen, but what I'd like to see happen.
(Yes I know it's crazy and won't happen :-x)

With various filler short arcs throwin in between the major parts.



Invasion:

Leaf village is invaded by one of the other villages (hoping Cloud Village) and we are introduced to a new group of villains. This new group of ninja's are around Kakashi level (remember Kakashi's words to Naruto, "there are those out there stronger than me, but younger than you). This arc is mostly to show how the Konoha genin have improved. As they all fight bravely to halt the surprise attack. They show Sakura fighting and while holding her own, she is defeated by an opposing Jounin. When surprisingly a figure appears saving Sakura. She sees the silhouette of the figure, and immediately thinks it's Sasuke, and calls out his name. In the next chapter, after she yells Sasuke's name, a matured and very Yondaime looking Naruto turns around and smiles towards her. Tsunade, Jiraiya, Kakashi ect than arrive at the scene and are shown fending off the invaders. Eventually the invasion ends and the Leaf prevails. They have reunion of Naruto with the others and what not.



The Great War:

Leaf and Cloud (or whoever invaded) go to war, possibly aided by another village (mist, stone ect) and go to war against the Leaf and Sand alliance. Gaara and co, come back to help like expected and it ends up being a long drawn out story arc introducing many new strong villains ect. (Major plot points) Tsunade battles the opposing Kage and bravely dies protecting Konoha. And Rock Lee finally wins a major battle against a major opposing villain.


Return of Sasuke:

Sasuke has been training for the past 3 1/2 years with Orochimaru and Orochimaru wants to begin to take over Sasuke's body, when he discovers that Sasuke has improved much more than he anticipated. Orochimaru tried to keep tabs on Sasuke's abilities, but Sasuke learned quickly and held back. At this time Akatsuki invades the Sound Village and 3-5 members attack Orochimaru. We find out that Kabuto was in fact a spy for Akatsuki. When finding out the situation was grave, Sasuke decides to retreat the village of Sound only to be stopped by Itachi. Overcome by anger Sasuke fights Itachi with the result being much as it was the previous time. However Itachi tells Sasuke that he still needs to become stronger, and leaves Sasuke yet again. Sasuke angered over his defeat leaves yet again pondering why Itachi is seemingly mocking him. At this time Kabuto and the Akatsuki team up and defeat Orochimaru without much problem, leaving him believed dead.


Akatsuki's Assault:

With Orochimaru out of the way, Akatsuki turns their aim towards the demons. We find out that there are a few other Demons out there much like the Kyubi. And the Akatsuki make their move to get them as well, splitting up 8 members into groups of 2 to go after the 4 main demons (naruto and kyubi being one). At this time they introduce some new characters that will have an important part. And show them battle various Akatsuki. Itachi/Kisame and Kabuto arrive to take Naruto. Some of the Konoha genin such as Neji/Kiba/Rock Lee ect show up to fight and are defeated. When Kisame is about to kill them, Gai and Kakashi arrive. Gai finally fights Kisame and is defeated without much trouble, when Kisame is about to kill the genin, Gai opens the 8 gates and crushes Kisame while dying in the process. Kabuto and Kakashi finally have their battle, with Kakashi narrowly winning. At this time, Itachi fights and defeats Naruto. And brings him back to headquarters. Some of the Leaf ninja's are joined by allies Gaara Temari ect and go off after Itachi and Naruto. Arriving at the headquarters thanks to Kiba's senses they along with the other main characters (introduced during War arc) arrive and split into groups to face the remaining Akatsuki.


Finale:

With the 4 demons captured the Akatsuki leader begins his/her plan to extract the demons from the 4. At this time major characters show up to turn the tide the Leaf Ninja as well as the Sand and some Cloud/Mist. As they begin to break the seal on the 4, Sasuke surprisingly shows up and stops the ritual. The Akatsuki leader goes in for the kill on Sasuke, when ... Itachi stops him/her. We learn the secret that this member is the 3rd person to handle Mangekyou. (handle meaning being able to withstand, not another Sharingan user) With the bloodline ability to counter any eye bloodline jutsu,as well as forcing illusions/thoughts into the opponent. Rendering Sharingan and it's Mangekyou illusion useless. Sasuke shocked at Itachi saving him yells for answers, and finds out that the Akatsuki Leader, bribed Itachi with power and corrupted his mind. He told Itachi how to obtain the Mangekyou and wanted to use Itachi for his/her true purposes. Itachi wouldn't abide by the Akatsuki Leader's wishes so he/she took another route, and threatened to kill Itachi's precious brother. Angry at this Itachi fought back but lost. The Akatsuki leader than using his/her bloodline ability forced Itachi to kill his family to obtain Mangekyou. Than to get Itachi to suffer for not respecting his/her wishes, the Akatsuki Leader forced Itachi to tell Sasuke it was him that killed the clan, to make him suffer. Itachi than was left trying to come to terms with what he had done, when Sasuke arrives at the scene. Itachi scared that Sasuke would get killed, and knows he can't win on his own, tries in his own way to get Sasuke stronger, By making him think revenge. So that one day they together could get revenge. Flash to the present and we have an epic battle with Sasuke and Itachi vs. the Akatsuki Leader. They get owned pretty badly and when Sasuke is about to get killed, Itachi sacrifices his life to save Sasuke. Sasuke in seeing his brother who he finally had understood die in front him of him, obtains the final previously unseen level of Sharingan. And narrowly defeats the Akatsuki Leader. That's right Sasuke finishes him/her off. Around this time, Jiraiya trying desperately to find Naruto is encountered by a surprise guest. Orochimaru. Jiraiya and Orochimaru finally have their battle, and narrowly Jiraiya finally defeats Orochimaru. Thus finally having Orochimaru finished once and for all.

Also at this time, Naruto while trying to escape is encountered by a mysterious figure. The person wants the Kyubi inside Naruto, and Naruto unleashes more Kyubi chakra than ever before, but is still easily defeated by this mysterious figure. The mysterious villain than begins doing a previously unseen forbidden technique which takes out the soul of someone and adds it to their own. While doing this ritual, Jiraiya appears and stops it. They begin their battle, but Jiraiya still horribly injured from his battle with Orochimaru falls easily. The figure stands in front of Jiraiya and takes off his Hood showing his identiy. Stunned by what he had seen Jiraiya is shocked and unable to speak, when he is stabbed through the stomach with a kunai and killed. Naruto awakens at this time staring up to see Jiraiya angry. About to charge head on against the mysterious figure he stops, and sees... that it's Yondaime, the TRUE leader of Akatsuki. Yondaime tells Naruto that years ago he was in fact the one who summoned the Kyubi in an atempt to harness all of the Kyubi's powers for himself. However the Kyubi was too much for even Yondaime and he was defeated when the summoned Kyubi went on a rampage. He than sealed the Kyubi into the body of Naruto, hoping that years down the line, he could try once again to harness the powers of the Kyubi in it's now weakened mortal form. Yondaime reveals that he switched bodies with another and while controlling that body performed the sealing technique. Konoha mourned the loss of their presumed Yondaime while he escaped unknown. After hearing this they than in turn have a major battle with Naruto unleashing ALL of the Kyubi chakra to the point of narrowly killing him and he defeats and kills Yondaime.

Sasuke arrives at the scene to find Naruto barely alive, and Sakura shows up as well and heals Naruto as much as she can. Everything seems to be finished, when the Kyubi seal from being stressed too much, breaks. Releasing the Kyubi. The reunited Team 7, summons Manda, Katsuya and Gamabunta to battle Kyubi. Sasuke and Sakura are defeated leaving Naruto alone. In using everything he has, he is somehow able to defeat the Kyubi while also sacrificing his life. All the major characters than show up and stand around Naruto mourning and in shock. They later flash to the funeral where all of Konoha gathers to pay their respects and honor Naruto as he deserved. The various main characters are shown at the funeral and they finish with Sasuke and Sakura standing together, looking up at the monument where we see Yondaime's statue, changed to Naruto's resemblence, showing that he was honored as an honory Hokage/Hero that saved the village of Konoha and would be respected forever.

[kaitenjyuuken]

i'll just predict about neji since all the prediction rocks!!

in 3 years, there'll be wars between all Hidden Villages, sand is allied to leaf of course.. and Neji will be able to do summoning jutsu by then, bird. His opponent i believe will be a guy manipulating other senses rather than vision where he'll be doing some weird jutsus that cause neji to become blind and unable to use byakugan... what would neji do?

[ahriman]

i think naruto is going to become a member of akatsuki and him and other akatsuki member atack the sounds.

First of all, go back to school boy. When you have mastered the counting skills (which takes you 3 years like Naruto) come back and write normal comments.

BAKA :nerve

[J-Dizzy]

Here's one:
Orochimaru and Sasuke meet up with Sakura and Naruto, Orochimaru wishes to test out Sasuke's skills as well as have him achieve the Mangekyou by killing his former friends. While Sasuke and Naruto have a fierce battle Orochimaru notices Sakura's great healing abilities, realizing this could be a problem he decides to kill her. He easily throws her around, her skills nowhere near Orochimaru's she is forced to constantly heal herself. Meanwhile during the battle Naruto becomes distrtacted by Sakura being attacked, Sasuke picks up on this and pummels him into the ground. Standing over the battered body of Naruto Sasuke looks down on him telling him that he could never compare to him in battle. Naruto hears the sounds of Sakura being beaten by Orochimaru, he strtuggles to get up but Sasuke stomps him down. Naruto asks him if he cares about Sakura, Sasuke just stares down at him. Sakura calls to Sasuke, as Orochimaru chuckles to himself. Sasuke looks over at her, seeing her beaten thoughts of the past flash through his mind. Orochimaru lifts her up with his tongue wrapping it around her throat, choking her making her suffer Orochimaru enjoys every second of it, Then behind him he hears the crackle of a familiar Jutsu he looks back and sees Sasuke charging his hand with chakra, Sasuke looks up as the blue bolts of Chakra flash around him, a smile on his face. Orochimaru believes he will kill Sakura so he positions her so he can see every bit of the carnage. Rushing forward Sasuke heads for Sakura, Naruto struggles to get up, reaching deep inside he draws a large amount of chakra from Kyuubi. As Sasuke rushes forth Orochimaru chuckles until a sharp pain penetrates his back, looking back he sees Sasuke look up at him smiling confidently, a suprised Orochimaru drops Sakura, Sasuke feels something inside of Orochimaru grabbing ahold of it he pulls his arm out drawing from his back the Kusanagi, Orochimaru's sword. Orochimaru is filled with anger and disbelief as Sasuke stands there brandishing his sword in hand, still smiling. Orochimaru chuckles telling Sasuke that no matter what Sasuke tried he would still become his new body. Orochimaru tells him that he did not learn the most powerful of Orochimaru's jutsu's and that he would not survive. Orochimaru sees how weak Sasuke is from his fight with Naruto and using the Chidori just now, He charges him quickly going faster than he can react, until he is knocked away by a fierce hit, smashing through several trees he looks up to see a Kyuubified Naruto(The usual one not Lvl2) standing there surrounded by a Red Chakra. Naruot bursts forrth with incredible speed, barely being blocked by Orochi, Naruto with reletive ease throws Orochi away only to have him be caught by Kabuto. Sasuke looks suprised to see Kabuto who helps Orochimaru to his feet. Naruto lunges forth but Kabuto tells him to stop, pointing towards Sakura, Naruto and Sasuke look back and see a Kage Bunshin of Kabuto holding Sakura with a Kunai by her Neck ready to slit her throat. Kabuto threatens to kill her if they don't come after them. Kabuto and Orochimaru leave into the shadows, Kabuto's Kage Bunshin smiles evily and attempts to kill sakura only to have her explode in a puff of smoke, suprised the KAge Bunshin then also explodes and we see Sakura standing there breathing heavily battered and bruised, holding a Kunai in her hands. Naruto runns over to her, she collapses and is caught by Naruto, He checks to make sure she's okay. Naruto notices Sasuke walking away, he tries to stop him and get him to come back, but Sasuke refuses, telling him that he needs to realize things about himself and his family, he tells Naruto that he should take Sakura back quickly to make sure she is okay. Naruto picks Sakura up, he tells Sasuke he will not stop coming after him, then he leaves. Standing alone Sasuke says to himself that is was good to see them again. Throwing the Kusanagi over his shoulder he slowly walks away.
Geez, I didn't think it would get as long as it did.

[Tiptail]

*revives semi-dead thread*
Awesome predictions, everybody. There's so many ways it could go from here.
Since I should be working on homework, I'll make this fairly brief.

As a rare Kabuto fan, I'm surprised no one has mentioned this yet:

1. We see Kabuto's curse seal.

He's Orochimaru's top lackey. The Sound Five all had one. Anko has one. Sasuke has one. Why would Kabuto not have one? It almost doesn't make sense for him to not have one, unless Orochimaru is really and utterly truly trusting in Kabuto to not bind him in some way. In which case Orochimaru is a class-A idiot.
The only real reason we haven't had a hint that Kabuto has one is because, frankly, he hasn't even come close to needing to tap it. The Tsunade fight sequence was, offensively, the only situation that really presented some challenge to him, and that wasn't even particularily taxing. Getting half of his guts ripped out was another matter, but I think he's intelligent enough to hide his curse seal for an extended amount of time.
And what about the red eye thing? That is in the future certainly...

2. Kyuubi becomes, somehow, a non-violent spirit. Or Naruto finds a way to communicate peacefully with Kyuubi and mediates something.

Why not? I'm sure that there's some days where Kyuubi would love nothing better than to rip himself free from Naruto and go on an unending rampage, but during the course of the manga, the demon fox has also shown amusement, pleasure, and a (grudging) respect towards the workings of humans, most particularily Naruto and Yondaime, of course. I could definitely see Naruto coming to terms with the demon inside of himself and Kyuubi coming to terms with Naruto. Particularily with the strong emotional forces Naruto seems to conduct.
Don't rule that one out, guys...^__^

I'd think of more, but I'm really tired. Maybe some other time.

[seta101]

haha, yes, Naruto and Kyuubi find inner peace and enlightenment, and go sit under a waterfall composing haiku.

but seriously, that's some good Kabuto stuff. I forgot about the red eyes.
oh yeah, and I'm glad you guys liked my predictions!

[HeHateMe]

I also think there's a possibility that Orochimaru will outlive Naruto, as a possible way to end the series (and continue a spinoff, like Konohamaru!) is to have Naruto pretty much get rid of Oro and akatsuki, but Oro, with his weird powers, continues to live . . . somehow.

[Ryoko]

I didn't bother to read the rest of the posts, so forgive me if there are any repeats.

1. Kabuto will kill Orochimaru. He is secretly working for Akatsuki, helping them to kill Orochimaru. Sasuke will help him because Kabuto tells Sasuke what Kabuto was planning to do.

2. Naruto and Sasuke will have another battle. Not sure why, though. Naruto won't hold back in this fight and will be fighting like he wants to kill Sasuke. However, we don't see the outcome of this fight because either Kakashi or Sakura will stop them again.

3. Sasuke will find his own way to defeat the mangekyou sharingan without actually getting it, so he wil eventually kill Itachi. OR Kakashi is pissed that Itachi defeated him so he trains harder and kills Itachi. Sasuke trains to kill Kakashi.

4. Kakashi will train and become an ANBU captain OR he'll train Konohamaru Corps. (kind of hoping for the ANBU thing, though). (Or look at number 3 for what else could happen with Kakashi).

5. Naruto will become Hokage.

[Raegan]

1) Gai will die/be on the brink of death from opening the death gate
2) The Sannin will fight in one last battle against each other(more like Jiraiya/Tsunade vs Orochimaru) and when they're at their last strenght, members of the Akatsuki appear to ambush and kill them. The death of his master, Jiraiya, and Godaime, Granny Tsunade, sparks anger in Naruto and he releases his true Kyuubi power as a result
3) Sakura will forget 99% of her crush for Sasuke. While Sasuke does something against the interests of Konoha, Sakura stands up against him. The episode will probably be something along the lines of "Sakura vs Sasuke. Sasuke kun no more."
4) Rock Lee will finally win in a battle against a strong nin (hehe, not much of a prediction)
5) Konohamaru, Udon and Moegi will become Genin and take part in a C or B rank mission.
6) Rin will appear and as a result, spark of the fire tat was once within Kakashi. Kakashi will go on to become less of a lazy-nin and end up becoming Rokudaime
7) My prediction of the future of Naruto will either all come true, some come true or none will come true (DUH!).

[itachi_kage]

1.sasuke is going to leave on his own when he learns what he needs to from orochimaru.
2. sasuke and itachi fight...draw.
3. itachi convinces lil sasuke to join his stupid group
4. sasuke's mangekyou is perfected
5. orochimaru catches up with sasuke and itachi, realizes sasuke is stronger than he left him. gets pissed off realizing he will not get sharingan. fight ensues.
6. itachi (feeling sentimental) takes a hit for sasuke to save him. but dies (*sigh*) Sasuke (in a twist of madness) realizes that Itachi loved him so much to kill all of his family and pushed him to achieve mangekyou sharingan.
7. He goes nuts, somehow gets even stronger sharingan and kills orochimaru and the rest of akatsuki (to test new eye)
8. Naruto and crew show up late and see everyone dead. they don't realize it's sasuke.
9. Naruto still has not seen his friend sasuke yet, but will eventually meet him in battle, when he returns to wipe out all of his emotion from konoha. his goal to kill everyone.
10. Sasuke finds the secret to unsealing. He gets close enough to unseal kyuubi. kyuubi then attacks both naruto and sasuke. Sasuke kills kyuubi somehow. Sasuke thinks Naruto is too weak to fight now, but Naruto is really the 4th reincarnated. Some memories return and so do his jutsus. (kyuubi's negative powers held back the 4th's powers, making naruto weak.) his full powers return and a HUGE fight between level two mangekyou sharingan kakashi vs. konoha's yellow flash ensues.
WHATEVER I KNOW THIS IS FAR FROM THE TRUTH, AND THEY'D PROBABLY HAVE TO ADD MORE IN THE STORY TO MAKE IT GOOD. BUT I THINK ITD BE ENTERTAINING! OH AND I REALIZE NOT MANY PEOPLE THINK NARUTO IS THE 4TH, BUT IT'S MY FANFIC! LOL

[Hyuugan_Shadow]

Heres a prediction for ya. Naruto find out how to use almost all the Kyuubi's power and with help for Jiraya they Unleash Foggy Hell upon Akatsuki when they come and try to take Naruto. Foggy Hell = Summoning every fricken frog there is to summon.

Hows that ? :)

akatsuki turn out to be konoha's allies and they together with sand defeat cockroachmaru and he dies and naruto turns out to be the successor of cockroachmaru and he kills all of them in a second. leaving only tsunade he rapes her and she dies

[Hinata123]

naruto:
naruto and the kyubi's chakra will merge and naruto will become really strong and an excellent nija and became hokage. when akasuki come to take the kyubi naruto lets them get really close to getting it then revealse that the kyubis and his chakara have merged.
saske;
will try to kill naruto but naruto being the best ninja ever now finds it easy to beat him up. so saske again spends a few years trying to beat naruto but keeps failing and finally naruto gets bored and just kills saske.
i don't know about the other charecters at the moment

[UltraJounin]

Yunari & Konohamaru will become legendary (waaaaay down the line), they will team up and be an unstoppable two ninja force! :huh

[Raegan]

[Q2Student]

Just as the time skip is wrapping up, the Sound village is attacked by the full force of Akatsuki. We're reintroduced to Sasuke who fights and kills Kisame to show his new strength. Orochimaru is wounded by Itachi but manages to escape thanks to Kabuto. They meet up with Sasuke and convice him to retreat, as Itachi is surrounded by fellow Akatsuki thus beyond reach for the moment. They escape but the village and it's other inhabitants are destroyed.

About two years (Naruto time) after the time skip Naruto gets a tip about the location of Sasuke who parted ways with Orochimaru after the village's fall. He goes to tell Sakura but, seeing the pain at the mention of Sasuke's name, decides not to say anything and go it alone.

Reaching the area Sasuke has been sighted in, Naruto is soon attacked by Itachi, who tracked down Sasuke knowing that Naruto would not be far behind. When Itachi goes to use Mangekyou to subdue Naruto the Kyuubi consciousness appears in the "mental world" that Itachi tried to trap Naruto in. Calling Itachi an arrogant mortal Kyuubi throws off the power of the Mangekyou and while Itachi is reeling from the shock Naruto plunges a kunai in Itachi's chest, killing him.

Unfortunately, the sounds of the battle attract Sasuke, who arrives just in time to see Naruto kill his brother. He stares in shock until Naruto notices him and calls out his name, then he flees.

After that we'd have several big arcs which would include the Second Sannin Battle (Orochimaru finally dies by Jiraiya and Tsunade's attacks) and the Akatsuki showdown (Naruto and the former gennin taking them on). As Naruto is facing the leader and on the brink of losing, he is saved by Sasuke. They defeat him together and Sasuke leaves after the battle without a word.

Shortly after returning from defeating Akatsuki Naruto is hanging with Tsunade when a bloody Shizune comes running in. She was on a mission with Kakashi when they were attacked. When she came to the copy nin was gone.

Searches commence, but no word is heard from Kakashi for a month. One day, when Sakura is collecting medical herbs, she is confronted by Sasuke. She goes on for a while about how great it will be to all be reunited, then remisses that Kakashi wasn't there to complete Team 7. Sasuke says that Kakashi won't be coming and tosses her a Sharingan-ed eyeball. He says it took Kakashi a long time to die.

Sakura tells him she was trained by Tsunade and she'll make him pay, but she gets beaten within an inch of her life. Sasuke tells her to pass on a message to Naruto. Naruto took away his life by killing Itachi, and now Sasuke was going to return the favor. Cue the final battle of the series, with Naruto being the one to walk away this time.


This is pretty damned impressive! You have the makings of one helluva story teller!

[Raegan]

i think you mean inari
Oh tat guy. But isn't it a bit too late for him to start training as a ninja?

[xxphatxbaybeexx]

I just noticed, people usually only talk of Naruto and Sasuke when conversing about the time skip, what about the others?

Will Tsunade-hime just stand back as Naruto trains himself to death with Jiraiya?

Will Iruka stand down as his son does something that can count as suicidal?

Will the Konohamaru Corps obidiently watch their favorite role model march off for three years?

These are the kind of questions I thought of when I first heard of the time skip. I'll just like to hear the ideas of others.

[Gator]

Will Tsunade-hime just stand back as Naruto trains himself to death with Jiraiya?


uhm..yea..she's busy with sakura

Will Iruka stand down as his son does something that can count as suicidal?


his son huh? did I miss something? (is this an anime thing? cause I read the manga and just started watching anime and noticed things are a bit different..)

Will the Konohamaru Corps obidiently watch their favorite role model march off for three years?


probably not...they'll seek him anyhow and anywhere...

[Jackal Iscariot]

i wonder whats gonna happen to gaara and the others....i wonder how temari is gonna look like..she is my new favorite :love

[xxphatxbaybeexx]

I didn't mean like a real son, just as a person who he considers a son. I just mean like, EVERYONE. What will happen to them in those three years?

On a lighter note, will Sakura ever develope breast?

Just stuff like that.

[Jackal Iscariot]

yes, i hope the characters get son or/and daughters!
hope kakashi gets a gf!
hope naruto gets hinata!
hope all the girls develop some nice "skills" :D
i wonder which rang shika has...he is a cool guy

[Requiem for the light]

hope all the girls develop some nice "skills" :D


I hope you and I have different ideas about what skills are. Cuz I'm thinking of boobies....

[foxStick]

On a lighter note, will Sakura ever develope breast?

Of course Sakura will develop breasts. She's studying under Tsunade, after all. One way or another, it'll happen...

[Strider M]

Well Just because Naruto is training under Jaraiya and Sakura is training under Tsunade doesn't mean like.... They are gonna Own everyone!

Everyone else is gonna train too.....Shikamaru might be forced to train....

Anyway I expect surprises to arise....some new ninjas.....Kakashi reading a new book.... and I'm hoping to see what Kabuto is up to...

[neodragzero]

Though you have to admit that Naruto being able to train to a point that would nearly cripple a normal person and get up the next day as if nothing happened is a huge advantage in training.

Think of all the exhausting training that Naruto did everyday to learn how to reach the 3rd step needed for the rasengan training for 3 years though I'm sure that not every jutsu will be as hard as trying to do the rasengan but Naruto would still always put himself to the very limits of his body and stamina yet be up and healthy the next day. There's also the fact that Naruto will continue to increase his own natural amount of chakra, which is already higher than most jounins and will probably have a better amount of control over Kyubi's chakra.

Sakura, I don't think that she will be the type who really fights much but more of supporting a team with her future medical nin skills.

[kevin77]

I'm most interested in Shikamaru's new techniques. Right now, he can't really inflict any serious damage to his opponents, so i hope he's gonna get some killer moves after 3 years.

[Blue]

I'm sure Tsunade's medical skills extend to plastic surgery. She'll help Sakura out with her breast problem.
On the other hand, it's also possible that Orochimaru will "help" Sasuke out with his tounge problem...heh. It brings pleasure to my mind imagining what Sucksuke is going to have to go through with Orochi. Silly angsty brat.
Perhaps Naruto will finally hit puberty and discover just what it is that Jiraiya finds so appealing in his "research." If this is the case, then I doubt they'll be doing any training, just visiting hot springs and taking turns doing Sexy no Jutsu.

[occasionalutopia]

xxphatxbaybeexx, merged your thread with this one in the Naruto Theories section. It has speculation on everything but the kitchen sink anyway XD
It brings pleasure to my mind imagining what Sucksuke is going to have to go through with Orochi.You just had to go and say it. Now I'm itching to make an OroSasu eye-bleeder. Must ... resist ... :darn

[Rafale0n]

sounds like oro gonna teach him how to do french kiss, and uh...sakura is gonna learn silicon no jutsu?

im not worried bout narutos development, as matter affect, he's gonna be quite powerful after 3 yrs. he learnt rasengan pretty quicky, he has his own way of learning things, and that's wut makes him good for later on cuz i believe hes gonna invent a cool jutsu. like sexy rasengan or multiple rasengan (thx to kage bunshin) or i dunno...harem rasengan or sumthin

jiraiya needs to start takin blood replenishing pills...

[Yukimura]

There will be at least one yaoi couple involving Sasuke or Naruto and an Akatsuki member. *blink*

[wherezmytofu]

another haku zabuza kinda thing....... i guess thats possible

[Uzumaki Naruto]

1. Naruto becomes Hokage
2. NarutoxSakura
3. Naruto will be the strongest Hokage.
4. We will learn more about Naruto's past.

[SasukeAvenger]

LOL, the bloke is stupid and can't count. Let me help you.....

1 Naruto
2 Lee
3 Jiraiya
4 ????

Normally a foursome takes four people.

First of all, go back to school boy. When you have mastered the counting skills (which takes you 3 years like Naruto) come back and write normal comments.

BAKA :nerve

Kagebunshin plus sexy no jutsu will take care of everything.

[-skyline-]

I'm sure Tsunade's medical skills extend to plastic surgery. She'll help Sakura out with her breast problem.

well, since sakura is gunna be a medical ninja, she can learn and do it herself

[Squall_L_FF8]

Maybe Naruto will be able to do multiple rasengans, a enormous rasengan, or a projectile type rasengan after the 3 year skip.

[Rafale0n]

a homing rasengan? 1000 years of pain rasengan? sexy no 1000 years of pain?

[MetalC]

...lets see.

Naruto will become perveted, and will forever forget about his dreams, instead focusing on chicks.

Sasuke will go berserk, and attempt to kill the current hokage, Kakashi, and will succeed.

After the death of Kakashi, people will search for Sakura to be the next hokage. ^__^

p.s. I don't really think Kakashi has a chance at becoming hokage, he is too weak. :(

[Sabaku no Ira]

One prediction that'll hold true:

All of the characters will die, whether shown in the manga or not.

:p

[Rafale0n]

no, not oro

[Sabaku no Ira]

no, not oro

Oh yeah, I forgot about his "immortality jutsu". :p

[Mighty Lee]

Oro's is gonna be killed either by Itachi or Kabuto

[Dragoon_Kain]

Here are a few off the wall theories that differ from the norm. I'll share them since a lot of the other ones I thought of were already posted in some place or another.

Theory 1)

Kabuto has been secretly studying Oro's body transfer jutsu, and is waiting until he figures out how to do it himself before he tries to stand in the way of Oro. Once he figures out how, he will betray Oro, and try to take Sasuke's body for himself.

Theory 2) Well this isn't really a theory, but moreless what I think would be cool and unexpected. I think it would be awesome if Sasuke got killed by Itachi. Everyone expects him to finally kill him in the end, but if that scenario ended with Itachi killing Sasuke, I think it would be unexpected and frickin awesome.

[Sol 3dge]

-Naruto will learn who the Kyuubi was released by.

-The 4th will be summoned by Orochimaru to fight Naruto.

-Either Gai or Lee will die by unlocking the gates.

-Sasuke will defeat Itachi, choose not to kill him, believing that he is not his puppet, and Itachi will sacrifice himself to save Sasuke.

-One of the Akatsuki members will be like a bat.

-Jiraiya will kill Orocimaru.

[Nono]

Oro's is gonna be killed either by Itachi or Kabuto

i say Kabuto

[sunanoshukaku]

i seriously think that naruto is going to die someway and that will end the series.

[KittenNinja]

Either way, i sure hope sasuke's body aint taken already..or at least let him do some bastard trick by making oro teach him all the uber techniques in two years and runs away later.... bummer for oro :P

[violetsky]

Right after Naruto mak Chunnin he gets captured by the Aktatsuki. They free Kyuubi and try to control him. Demon gets pissed of and kills everyone except Naruto and Itachi. Don't know why and don't care. :P Gaara and Sasuke come to save Naruto. Sasuke fights Itach. Gaara falls asleep... His demon awakens. Fights Kyuubi and both gets killed. Gaara survives. Sakura heals every one. THe End

[Taxidermy]

Last battle willbe somthing like this i hope: akatsuki tries to get kyubi from naruto, and during a batlle sakura (wich is in narutos squad) gets killed by accident by sasuke who is now in the akatsuki after he killed itatchi. And Naruto freaks out in a "oh my god my brother/close friend/rival/enemy etc. Killed the one i loved etc. And then Kyubis seal is broken but for some reason naruto can control kyubi. He kills all the akatsuki but not sasuke. Then there is the final battle wich goes on for a long time. Naruto and sasuke then charge at eachother with a last attempt of inflicting serious damage, they both succed. But Both naruto and sasuke get badly wounded. And then naruto does as he did in the batle with gaara and "crawls" over to him, and then goes "why did this happen bla bla bla didnt want to hurt you this badly" and then sasuke goes "naither did I etc" and then both apologizez to eachother and become close friends again, then they die together. And kakashis also dead 4 some reason, so team7 reunites in heaven, and kakashi meets Obito again and his Father and rin etc. And everyones happy to be with eachother again forever. The end :P
BTW sorry for my bad english I hate writing ,much and i dont really care for fixing writing errors in a forum.

[west blue]

i think someone (or more) important is going to die in the second part of naruto, either one of the jounin tutors (in the battle against akatsuki or orochimaru) or one of the rookie genins (when trying to save his/her teammate). this is a story of ninja, which life is so close to death. in the first part, obito, yondaime, and sandaime is dead; it would be weird if nobody (that we know) die in the second part.
actually, i don't want anybody to die...

[greybow]

IF you remember the side story of the red 4-leaf clover from the anime,
that was the area that Kakashi became a chuunin. He had to go into
that area alone and survive *which was something Naruto, Sakura,
and Sasuske had very much difficulty*. I believe it will be something
similar so that Naruto can go solo and become a chuunin for the rest of
them are already chuunin for the exception of Kankuro, Neji, and Temari are jounins and Shikamaru is a special jounin

It will be relatively at this time that I believe Akatsuki will try an
attack on both Gaara and Naruto for the demons they both possess.

[Fire With In]

It think Naruto will be the 7th Hokage(what's that in Japanese?),
don ask how but theres sth srange between Naruto
and 7,7th team,7th match in exam

[vdragon88]

- Sasuke will turn on Orochimaru and attempt to kill him when he notices his life is in danger
- Another war
- Hinata becomes more open and less shy

[Count Spatula]

My prediction is that Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Tsunade will die at the same time. It doesn't sound right to have only one of them die. Either all three of them will die at the hands of the highest level Akatsuki, or it will be something like Sasuke kills Jiraiya, Kabuto kills Tsunade, Naruto kills Orochimaru type thing.

[roguenoir]

I think Naruto will die at the very end, after he's fulfilled his dream of becoming Hokage. I feel that he'll sacrifice himself to kill Sasuke who will have become very strong and probably already killed Itachi. At the same time, Naruto's wife (either Sakura or Hinata) will be pregnant with his child. Konohamaru will become the next Hokage and in the final scene of the entire series, it'll show that the entire series was actually Konohamaru's recount of Naruto's legacy as he sits with Naruto's son/daughter. Once Konohamaru finally finished the story, the child will say "I'll become a great Hokage like my father some day!" - THE END

[Maaya2021]

My prediction:
Sasuke and Naruto duke it out and as Sasuke goes for the finishing shot, Sakura comes in and kills Sasuke.

The End ;P

[Hokage_Naruto]

Now this is DEFINITELY Goin to happen.

My Prediction: Naruto will keep eating ramen till the day he dies.

[Therahedwig]

good one...

Hmmm...

Did anyone think of the fact sasuke might be the one killing both orochimaru and itachi?
(look in the "oldie but goodie mangekyou sharingan theory" topic for further explaination.)
My hopes are up for him running around with that sword(The most flat out translation of it in rpgs is cloudbrand)oro keeps in his stomach...

Naruto will undoubtfully be captured by the akatsuki, in that time naruto talks with it's members, and thus finishing the character denvelopement for those guys...
After a while they manage to do something horribly stupid with the seal, thus making kyuubi/naruto rage, and that will probarly be the only moment naruto will get his fighting time versus them...

If we at least knew who all akatsuki where, then we could determine if any of them get killed by naruto...

The kyuubi will either be meltingh together with naruto, or be released, but then sitting stuck in some backing up seal the 4th left behind to protect konoha and naruto from the possebility of a new rampage. Then he/she will talk with/teach to naruto, and he/she will get his/her character denvelopment during that...

We will see the other youma and we will learn what they exactly are...

kakashi keeps living, but he will get redemption someway

Sakura will become the most f*ckin' usefull b*tch in the whole series...

and I'm out of ideas at the moment...

[MartialHorror]

My views on how it will end.

Well, the next next arc, looks like Naruto and the gang will have to rescue Gaara from the Atsuki(or however the hell you spell it)

But how will it end? Well, I think Naruto will have a darker final arc than many wish to think.

The Zabuza arc showed that the life of a ninja was usually tragic and that ninja were considered tools, The Chuunin exam(plus the Gaara ordeal) showed that people exist only to hurt others, and that when protecting your loved ones you can overcome any odds. The Itachi ordeal showed that no matter how strong you become, there will always be someone stronger. The Race filler(anime only) really just showed people can change. The Rescue Sasuke mission was a story of friendship.

I believe the final arc will be a story of love. There will be a strong love triangle between Naru-Saku-Sasu and it will become very dramatic.

Here are some of the things I believe will happen.
1) Orochamaru will posess Sasuke. Also, Orochamaru will remain the most prominant villain(I have a friend who thinks Itachi will kill Oro)

2) Iruka will either turn out to by a spy for the Atsuki(I know Im spelling this wrong) or will die protecting Naruto. Either way, he will kick some ass. Also, If Iruka is a spy, he will turn good and die anyway(there is another thread based on that). Also, I think Mizuki will play a part.

3) Jiraiya will die. Probably against Itachi or Oro, but he will die protecting Naruto.

4) These people won't Die: Choji, Neji. Why? BEcause what would be the point of them surviving the "Rescue Sasuke arc"

5) Hinata will become minor. In fact, so will Kiba and Shino most likely. Everyone else will probably have a decent size role.

6) Oro will go on a rampage, killing many minor characters(Aobi, Gemma, maybe guys like them)

7) Kabuto will somehow betray Oro, fight Kakashi, but lose. He will either die, or survive and be killed by Oro, or survive and be the only survivor of the main villains.

8) Oro will whipe out some of the Atsuki. I think the new ones that were introduced will all die at his hand.

9) Kisame will be stupid and get killed by Itachi. Kisame is hard headed while Itachi is cold and doesnt care about anything. This is shown in alot of animes, like if Kisame is too interupt Itachis fight with Sasuke, Itachi will kill him.(Like Toguro, Elder Toguro from Yu Yu)

10) Oro/Sasuke MIGHT kill Itachi with his new Sharingan. Maybe not, can't figure out where to put Itachi but he must die.

11) Naruto and Oro/Sasuke will fight one last time. Both will wound eachother so badly, that both will die. But Sasuke will gain control over himself and acknowledge Naruto before dying. Oro will also have a revelation giving an odd to Naruto. Naruto will have many flashbacks to every arc, but mainly to when he asks Iruka why people die protecting others(During Hokages funeral) and has a flashback to everyone. Then Naruto will die.

During his funeral, the 5th(or maybe someone else if she dies) will declare Naruto 6th Hokage. Even though Naruto is dead. This would be the only way Naruto could become Hokage(too stupid to be one)

I think Kakashi will live, and maybe become future Hokage, then perhaps Shikamaru after him

Also: gaara will probably die, maybe Shikamaru and Kiba as well. Doubt Rock Lee will die. And, maybe Tenten will get character development. I also think Rock Lee will defeat someone and Shino may play a big part in the next arc.

[RobbieX]

Hey all, Sorry if a thread like this has already been made, I looked through a few pages and saw none of this type, so I will start one. Feel free to add your own =)

Here are a few general predicitons and theories I have though about since new information about some of the main characters and plots we have been following has come out. These are just thoughts I had and wanted to share to see what you guys think.

Character changes and theories...

- Naruto... It seems really obvious that he is the 4th's son. If he isn't i'd be very much shocked, as it makes total sense on how he would be =P Hair color is a dead giveaway. (I don't know if this has been said in the manga that he is, so its a theory to me =P Correct me if it was said.) There is one more thing, but i'll save it for last.

- Sasuke will turn out to be 'evil' once we see him, but will not have changed drastically since the beginning. For example, his bonds with Naruto and Sakura will be show as severed completely, and that his ambitions will remain the same as they always have been. All he wants is revenge for what happened, but Kakashi's predictions of the path he has chosen will come true. Because of that, I doubt he'll go back to Konoha after he gets his revenge. After he gets it he will be nothing more than an empty shell.

- Sakura has never really had a plot, and as for character it will remain one of the 'side' status. She will take on the role of Tsunade in the neoesque like Sannin that she, Naruto and Sasuke will become. I believe this because she has always been a side character in the grand scheme, since she has never had a place of her own, and I think she'll stay that way, unfortunute as it may be. =(

- Itachi's character will turn out not to be 'evil'. I believe this due to how he has always seemed very hesitant in the actions of different things we have been shown. He shows weakness to bonds he had in the past. Perhaps he regrets killing his best friend, leading him to doing the things he did? In any event, he will have various reasons for what he did in the past and present.

(I made note of Itachi because to me its been something I have been pondering about for a while. The past surrounding him doesn't seem as cut and dry as most of the other characters they have went into detail about.)



Plot wise... These are the plots that we have been focused on so far, and what my theories/predicitons are...

Sasuke/Orochimaru - I don't think Orochimaru will get his body. If he does, I don't think it will be long lived though, because there is still the matter of Itachi. But for that reason I don't think he will. But this also depends on if the Itachi sotryline is finished before Sasuke can have his confrontation. There might be a possiblility we never see a Itachi/Sasuke Reunion, but that would be a real disappointment to many fans who want to see a good ending to this plot.

I am not so certain of Orochimaru's fate in any aspect... I do believe that Jiraiya will be the one to kill him, though.

Sasuke/Itachi - Sasuke, with his new power, gets his revenge. Itachi is killed by his little brother in a battle that might turn out to reveal all of the information surrounding their past up until their unavoidable confrontation. This is where I believe we will find out that Itachi isn't what we have been shown he is. I think this is a bit of a twist, as it will mean Sasuke is the real 'evil' Uchiha. =P

Akatsuki - I don't know much about this really. Since I don't have enough information, I have no real thoughts.

Naruto - I have mixed feelings on the fact that the Demon Fox will remain with him. I believe it will stay inside of him, at least until the end of the manga. For it to come out prematurely takes away alot of the ideas the story is based around, making the story mostly pointless to go on. Naruto will turn out to be the strongest Shinobi in the manga, for obvious reasons. =P

Thats all I got for now. Please feel free to add your own. =)

One last one though. I just had a big prediction on how the manag ends =P If you don't want to hear it, stop reading now! =P


Naruto becomes Hokage before or after he dies in battle. I believe he will die the same way the 4th did. I like the loop effect the story will make for this to come true, and seems a fitting way to end a great story. Also, the foreshadowing from the first chapters/episodes (when Naruto vowed he'd have his name on the memorial stone) supporting this gives me chills. =P

[火影ナルト]

- Sakura has never really had a plot, and as for character it will remain one of the 'side' status. She will take on the role of Tsunade in the neoesque like Sannin that she, Naruto and Sasuke will become. I believe this because she has always been a side character in the grand scheme, since she has never had a place of her own, and I think she'll stay that way, unfortunute as it may be. =(

Did you not read the latest chapter? Forehead power. Sakura has a big part in the story now.

She's not NARUTO, and she's not SASUKE. (MAIN CHARACTERS)
BUT: She's not ASUMA, and she's not KURENAI. (SIDE CHARACTERS)
She's definitely not THE GUY WHO OWNS THE RAMEN SHOP. (Umm...)
She's SAKURA, and definitely a main character in the grand scheme.

Why?

1. Because she's going to kick Akatsuki's asses.
2. Because she's going to save Sasuke from Orochimaru, Gay Paedophile Sound Village, and The Body Take Over Whatever It's Called No Jutsu.
3. Because she's in a Ninja team with Naruto and Kakashi. And Naruto is the main character in this story, remember?
4. Forehead power.

FOREHEAD POWER.

- Itachi's character will turn out not to be 'evil'.

How can a mass murderer not be called evil? Itachi murdered his parents, grandparents, best friend, the police force of Konoha, and countless other Uchiha. Uchiha Itachi wants to harness the power of Kyubi, the most powerful Youma around.

Let's see www.dictionary.com's definition of evil:

evil
1. Morally bad or wrong; wicked: an evil tyrant.
2. Causing ruin, injury, or pain; harmful: the evil effects of a poor diet.

Will Kishimoto Masashi ruin his hard work creating Uchiha Itachi, a bad guy on par with Sephiroth or *insert your favourite ultra cool bad (EVIL) guy here*, to make him NOT EVIL in a future chapter?

I think no. I think UCHIHA ITACHI is evil, and always will be. But in the words of a million internet messageboard users, 'everyone's entitled to their opinion!'

I ask again, did you not read the latest chapter? Forehead power.

Yes, forehead power.

This post was probably edited a hundred times, and is sponsored by Forehead Power, the greatest power known to chapter 252.

[roguenoir]

Naruto becomes Hokage before or after he dies in battle. I believe he will die the same way the 4th did. I like the loop effect the story will make for this to come true, and seems a fitting way to end a great story. Also, the foreshadowing from the first chapters/episodes (when Naruto vowed he'd have his name on the memorial stone) supporting this gives me chills. =P

I think Naruto will have a son or daughter, most likely not even know of him/her when he dies. Konohamaru will become the sensei for Naruto's descendant who would be obsessed with becoming Hokage like his/her father was.

[RobbieX]

Yes, I did read the last chapter, thanks =)

So this whole plot to kick Akatsuki's ass is Sakura's plot? =P Interesting, I didn't know it was all about her kicking the organisation's ass =P Shes quite the main character =P

Honestly, by plot I mean she ahs her own story. She doesn't. Shes a hopeless romantic with Sasuke, and now shes going to help bring down Akatsuki. Shes still a side character so far. She has no plot of her own. Seems the only reason she is there is to get Sasuke back, and to assist Naruto's cause. Sorry, but that spells 'Side Character' to me. =P But shes obviously above Asuma and the other characters we see once every 40 chapters. So yes... *Sticks up a FOREHEAD POWER sign and says 'Indeed.'*


As for Itachi, I was merely stating there is more to him than they show. The possibility of him not being as evil as they present him to be is what I was saying. =P In the end, Sasuke will turn out ot be more 'evil' than him. Also, note the way I said *'evil'* =P I mean this in terms of, yeah he did 'evil' things by definition (Which you so kindly supplied =P) but what if there is more to it than just that? What if the whole Uchiha class was some sort of cult that had malicious intentions? =P Who knows. Don't be so quick to flame =P Think of the possible twists that might come to light. =P

I think Naruto will become Rokudaime (sixth Hokage) and Konohamaru will become the seventh/eight hokage cos he is the grandson of the greatest Hokage Sandaime.......

[Dyroness]

In my opinion, you're right about being more to what are Itachi's intentions.... but I wouldn't label him as 'Evil' as long we get more info on his intentions. We don't have much proof, and as you said, his hesitation (Repare this in chapter 238 as well) shows it. Is he against Orochimaru, for borrowing Sasuke's body? Will he kill him for Akatsuki? We'll know soon.

Making a longterm prediction might ruin the story for be a bit. But i hope ther is a WAR with ataksuki. And at the end of it all naruto becomes Hokage. It would also be cool if Lee became a legendary NIN. He deserves it.

[YimTheSkilled]

Well I have a prediction that I think should be better than some other oens i've seen here, cause some people just forget about facts and stuff.

(I THINK there are 8 akatsuki excluding orichimaru right?)
Theory if there are 8 akatsuki: Each member of the akatsuki gets a youma, except for Naruto's. Sasuke learns all he can from orchimaru, kills orichimaru (maybe with the help of kabuto), and then proceeds to kill Itachi, and takes his place in the Aktasuki and gets his youma. From then on its the 8 Youma akatsuki vs. Naruto and the rest of Konoha.

If its 9 akatsuki: It would be the same as the 8 akatsuki one, except when Sasuke attacks Itachi, Kisame is there too and he gets killed too (lol).

Without a Youma, I really can't see Sasuke being a real threat to Naruto. But if it goes this way, Gaara would be a useless character, so there might be a possible twist that allows Gaara to get Shukaha back, either by having the good guys killing another Akatsuki and obtaining it back, or having him escape before they get it from him.

Also, I really think Tsunade will die in a fight against the Akatsuki, and Kakashi taking his place. And a possiblity of someone releasing all 8 gates, maybe Gai or Tsunade or even Lee

[Rattan]

I doubt they'd pass up the Kyuubi for another youma.

And I also doubt Sasuke would sink to the level of his brother. He's made that clear which means Akatsuki is not in his future.

My idea is that over time there will be run-ins with Akatsuki members by members of the cast, maybe while they are trying to attain youma(i'd use the possessed human thing but i forgot the word). After a few of these battles Akatsuki will be reduced to only their top members. These top members will have been successful in gaining a youma and like the battles with the Sound 5, each one will probably start out normal and then begin to dip into the power of their youma.

Not sure if Naruto will ever lose kyuubi or get captured. I haven't worked that part out yet. Not enough info. But generally if the series goes the way of other anime with groups as opponents (oniwaban, jupongatana(sp), Anten 7, Homunculus, etc..) I can see my theory happening for the most part.

[YimTheSkilled]

Well when I thought about my prediction, it was wit ha few "goals" in mind:
1)Sasuke kills Itachi
2)Naruto keeps his youma
3)there are 9 youma in total, so 8 , 1 for each remaining akatsuki member
4)Orichimaru should also be killed if Sasuke is to keep his body.

and also, I think that their goal is to have each akatsuki member with a youma, because according to their rings (not sure, but I read this from other threads), the bird and puppet guy were the lowest ranked out of the group.

[Rattan]

Meh. Cant really tell what the final portion of the story will be like anyway. Hell, they might pull a fast one and have Orochimaru somehow be able to take over the body of a sharingan user, then become the final villain as Akatsuki is upstaged and wiped out. Might even be that 3rd sharingan user that was mentioned. Or even a defeated Itatchi who was spared by Sasuke. (Heh. That'd be a pretty big twist. Probably the only thing bigger is if Itatchi joins the good guys. But thats a bit out there.)

The youma angle could even be a ruse by the guy who is calling the shots for Akatsuki. They all are powerful missing-nin who enjoy power. And probably not in the organization to see the sights and meet interesting people. Why not bribe them with more power so they will do what you say, when your really plan on taking all the for yourself then killing the workers.

Need more info before anyone can get a clear prediction of the end out there.

[PohaB3aR]

maybe naruto would end of openin his own ramen stall ? haha .. but nt w/o naruto n sasuke facin off .. sakura dies to save both of them .. kakashi defeats itachi .. jiraya becomes the author of "come come paradise" ..

who has sticked this? :blink
this thread deserves a trashing imo

Ok, well since the similarities between the Orochimaru and Sasuke, Naruto and Jiraya, and Tsunade and Sakura have been thrown wide into the open, I think that Akatsuki will go after Orochimaru because of his betrayal, and he will realize that he is no match for them alone, and will go back to his old comrads Jiraya and Tsunade, they as a trifecta wil battle Akatsuki, but Sasuke will no go with Orochimaru back to Konoha. Instead he will chase after Itachi alone to get his revenge. He will catch up with Akatsuki, and Itachi, just as they are about to attack Konoha in order to get too Orochimaru. As the other members of Akatsuki attack the village Itachi and Sasuke will battle it out, and once again Sasuke will get beaten senseless because Itachi is a god. Itachi will be about to kill Sasuke when he remembers back to when he and Sasuke were young, and he will hesitate. Then Naruto and Sakura wil come barreling in and protect Sasuke. Sasuke will look wide-eyed as Naruto and Sakura use teamwork to overcome Itachi. As they are fighting Sasuke will remember back before Itachi killed off everyone else in the Uchiha Clan and to the first day he and team 7 met Kakashi and learned that there is nothing more important than teamwork. Naruto and Sakura will be just about to kill Itachi when Sasuke tells them to stop. He says that he forgives Itachi for what he did, and that in hating Itachi, Sasuke actually turned into him. Itachi will see this as an opening and knock out Naruto and Sakura. He will then go after Sasuke saying how he is weak, but Naruto will jump in and stop him with unfathomable strength from Kyubi. Naruto will fight Itachi and kill him, saying that he will not let anyone hurt his friends. Thus Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke will be reunited, just as Orochimaru, Jiraya, and Tsunade were reunited in order to work together and survive. To wrap things up the three Sannin will defeat Akatsuki, but die in the process. This will leave a slot open for the position of Hokage. Naruto will be offered the position, but just as Jiraya did, he will say that Sakura should becom
