Called it. Granted it was half in jest and just a guess.

Just like how the original mangaka ended Naruto on the 700th chapter.

Wait... is THAT why the anime ran for so long? Because the producers wanted to reach some sort of milestone? Geez. Rolling Eyes

Regardless of how good or bad it may have been, this is the end of a helluva era.

Does anyone know if Iruka ever got married?

Fun fact. I didn't want to keep updating my MAL page on how many episodes of the show I had seen, so I just put 500 randomly since you can put as many as you want for shows without a defined episode count. Coincidence?...

This is really a sad day. but the time has come.... well not really we'll just continue with Boruto with less Naruto but he's still there. But it would be cool if they remade Naruto with alot less episodes, perfect pacing and no fillers.

Sooooo is it going to be an hour long episode. won't they adapt the the last chapter?

As far as I know, no, but that might be because Konoha hasn't legalized gay marriage yet Wink (let's throw Kakashi/Iruka shippers a bone!)

It bugs me a bit that so much was put into pairing off almost everyone in Naruto's class, but the Senseis barely got any character cap off. How's Kurenai doing as a single mom? Did Anko Mitarashi survive whatever Kabuto did to her? Are Tsunade and her girlfriend and her girlfriend's adorable pet pig who wears pearls happy? We need to know! Guess that's what Boruto won't be about either!

I'll watch this even though I've only seen a hand full of episodes this like an end of an era.

10 years.....10 FREAKING YEARS! Went through my High school years..college and now ends When Im in University!

It wa a good run I might say, fillers "at times" were alright but a bit too much for my taste. Cheers to the new Boruto series

Just when tired anime fans thought Shippuden was on a never-ending run. . . . .

. . . . . . . . .10 years later, the anime comes to an end.
