What's Left

[-champloo-]

I thought it would be a good idea to list all the loose ends, so to speak, that we know of in Naruto. We can mark them off as they occur in the manga, and add things that Kishi will likely add in.

I'm probably going to miss quite a few, lemme know:
- Pain death and Conversation with Naruto; Will Naruto actually kill his first person?
- Hinata/Naruto conversation
- Rebuilding of konoha; possible part 3?!
- Naruto meets Killerbee, possibly trains with him. Konoha/Lightning(?) relations
- The "key" and training to control the fox; could be included above.
- Tsunade death/retirement from Hokage?
- Kakashi alive/dead? Becomes Hokage?
- Orochimaru/Kabuto
- Sasuke and Itachi's eyes.
- Naruto encounters Zetsu
- Revealing of Madara
- Naruto and Sasuke battle for the last time
- The power Itachi gave Naruto
- Why Akatsuki was formed?
- Insight into Madara vs. Shodai and that time period
- Final battle between Naruto/Sasuke/Madara
- Naruto becomes hokage/dies in battle

A couple other loose ends:

-Kage Summit
-The Cloud Ninja Team headed toward Konoha
-Kisame's death/fight

[Tank]

Everybody understanding each other and ending war. Naruto was prophesied to do this and with everybody talking about it happening (Pein, Jiraiya, Minato) it seems obvious that it's going to happen in the Naruto world by the end of the series.

[Asakujaku]

I was going to say the mission Madara has for Kisame, and also Danzou.

[-champloo-]

Ah Danzou is a particularly interesting one, because he has the potential to add a ton of new loose ends lol.

Speaking of Danzou:
- Sai character development

[Bankai - Ichigo]

All the ones I could have pointed out have already been given. All I have left to say is that this is a great thread.

[RadiantEclipse]

Kisame death? Killerbee relations? What? Go read the Kishimoto interview, it'll tell you what's left. Kisame isn't going to die for a long time. This thread is crap.

This is just wild theorizing. Half of the stuff is still going on, they're not really loose ends until they've been partially explained, and then "forgotten." Pain and Naruto are still in the middle of their encounter, where the fate of Tsuande and Kakashi are also current. Unless Kishi decides to have 3 months of Sasuke, this isn't is a "loose" end.

Naruto encountering Zetsu aren't loose ends either. Or the final battle between Naruto/Sasuke/Madara. Naruto meets Killerbee? WTF.

Madara has already been revealed. It was explained why Akatsuki was formed via Pain's vision, not quite under Madara's vision. Madara has explained his side of the story with Shodai. Madara explained that Itachi gave Sasuke some power, so far the power of Amatersu. While it could use some more detail, it's not really a loose end anymore.

The stuff in bold is about the only loose ends you actually listed really...

A loose end I'm interested in was an explanation of how Hidan was immortal. How he can be decapitated and still be alive.

lol this is funny

umm idk to make the connection to madara if you think logically is pretty tough i mean someone who died decades ago in a grand battle

They don't have to be seen as just "loose ends," though. He was mainly listing things that are left to be taken care of. The Naruto vs. Pain fight is still happening, but hasn't been fully taken care of yet. And Naruto still does have to meet Killer Bee, for help or advice on how to master the Kyuubi's power. Killer Bee has the Hachibi, after all, so he might be able to help.

Naruto's already killed a few people.

Kukuzu for instance. Alright, he wasn't dead.
But I don't think Naruto really gives a crap about that.
He was as good as Dead and Naruto couldnt tell.

In honesty though.

I think part 2 is drawing to a close aswell. I don't think all these loose ends will be tied up yet. But soon, I think Konoha needs to be rebuilt before part 3.

[Bankai - Ichigo]

Yes, Konoha may need to be rebuilt before Part 3, if there really is going to be one.

Also, yeah, as I'm sure you remembered, Naruto just brought Kakuzu really, really close to dying. And he probably would've died a few seconds or minutes later anyway if he'd been left alone. But Kakashi finished him off sooner than that.

Madara has already been revealed. It was explained why Akatsuki was formed via Pain's vision, not quite under Madara's vision. Madara has explained his side of the story with Shodai. Madara explained that Itachi gave Sasuke some power, so far the power of Amatersu. While it could use some more detail, it's not really a loose end anymore.
Madara has not been revealed to more than a few people. For example, Naruto and all of Konoha do not know Tobi is Madara. He didn't go in depth about the time period with the Shodai really, if I remember correctly. I'm expecting him to talk more about it, because I'm thinking he came up with some goal to destroy konoha back then, which will lead into him spilling the beans on Akatsuki's exact goals(all we know is capture the tailed beasts - nothing else has been set in stone).

Well see, that's pointless to add to the list...because it wont be talked about. His character is done. I didn't mean loose ends really, just exactly what the title of the thread says:
What is left in Naruto?

I think everything has been said now.

[notorious UZIMAKI]

great list champloo (incidentally my favorite anime), hoping for a uzamaki killerbee session on how to control the 9tales. although god help me, please don't let killerbee rhyme anymore...simply painful....

[chinaman1472]

They don't have to be seen as just "loose ends," though. He was mainly listing things that are left to be taken care of. The Naruto vs. Pain fight is still happening, but hasn't been fully taken care of yet. And Naruto still does have to meet Killer Bee, for help or advice on how to master the Kyuubi's power. Killer Bee has the Hachibi, after all, so he might be able to help.

And like I said, unless Kishimoto just decides to take a 3 month break into Sasuke world, it's not really a loose end, because it's the continuation. If we could continue reading, the next few chapters are most likely going be focused around Naruto vs. Pein still.

Kishimoto showcased Killer Bee to show that a Host and Jinchiruuki can be cooperative. It's a small hint that Killer Bee and Naruto might meet up something may occur, but it's nothing definitive like Itachi giving Naruto some hidden power. It's an educated guess that they'll meet up. It's not like Killer Bee stated he was going to go look for the 9 tails, or that Naruto was going on an adventure to meet Killer Bee and Kishimoto just diverged into something else.

Madara has not been revealed to more than a few people. For example, Naruto and all of Konoha do not know Tobi is Madara. He didn't go in depth about the time period with the Shodai really, if I remember correctly. I'm expecting him to talk more about it, because I'm thinking he came up with some goal to destroy konoha back then, which will lead into him spilling the beans on Akatsuki's exact goals(all we know is capture the tailed beasts - nothing else has been set in stone).

What is left in Naruto?

I think everything has been said now.

Well, I figured loose ends meant things that need to be explained to the audience, not to other characters within the story. Pein has pretty defined goals on what Akatsuki wants, but Madara hasn't. Madara has explained his past and his grudge with Konoha, in which there have been stories that don't correlate (Madara saying the 9-tail Fox was a natural disaster, Minato saying it was Madara). So there is some clarification needed, true.

And yes, it's pointless to add to the list, it's more of a loose end then a 'hunch' that Killer Bee and Naruto will meet, or whether Naruto encounters Zetsu, considering it was something that's happened, and it won't be explained.

Yea, it's shit what's left in Naruto, but not all of them are necessarily "loose ends so to speak."

[Tank]

- Naruto encounters Zetsu

http://img55.onemanga.com/mangas/00000004/000028012/17.jpg

They've met.

[-champloo-]

Encounter, as in fights him, and Zetsu's character is explained more throughout the "encounter".
