I finally finished the manga series.

Gotta admit, making it through the last chapter gave a feeling of fulfillment... a milestone moment where you had finished two of the Big Three manga series after Bleach. Too bad, I don't remember everything about the 700 chapters, but I think that Kishimoto has both good and bad moments.

The Ninja War arc read kinda better than the Pain Arc for me. Pain went down easier on the emotional level, while Madara remained a threat despite going down. Also, there were awesome fights all around.

There are two things I disliked about the Ninja War arc was how the keikaku shifted from Madara to Obito to Madara to Black Zetsu and finally to Kaguya. The other was the reveal of reincarnation and destiny as a focal point in the conflict between Naruto and Sasuke. What exactly happened to talent versus hard work? And to top it all off, Neji had to die, seemingly symbolizing the supremacy of fate and destiny above all.

I know a bit about post-Naruto plot to continue the story from this point onwards... probably except for the Boruto manga. The designs aren't really good.
