Wow I never was interested in this new gen since the kids just seem like cheap knockoffs of the parents, but my sister just told me what happened so far and...WTF.
It really sounds like terrible fanfction. And a bad soap opera. I actually was ok with how the manga ended, I kinda will just try to forget about this story. I was not excited about it anyways, but DAMN. It sounds dumb. And lol at Sasuke and Taka group photo.
It really shits on the original story. Sasuke's and Sakura's characters sound reaally bad and pathetic. Sakura's character development is just sad, and Sasuke's character just makes the whole bonds theme of the manga feel pointless. All that happened and Sasuke just takes off for a decade and has no contact with his friends?
I ain't even mad at this point, but I reallly am ready to bury the Naruto hatchet for good and retain most of my good memories at this point. No corny shipping movies or soap opera spinoffs for me. The relationship aspect was always the weakest aspect of the series imo. Yikes. I await Kishi's next manga, no more Naruto for me.
