NARUTO Chapter 690 : Ninja's...

Written by : FrillyPhoenix

This is the end, hold your breath and count to ten ♪...

...pages and the war arc is over.

Yes, all this shit for over three years and it took one chapter to end it all.

However, let's be positive ! No more Kaguya ! No more war !

What happened in this chapter ?

Well, there are two main things to talk about in this chapter: "no more Kaguya" and "yay ! you saved the world !", which is why this chapter is being literally destroyed on every NARUTO forum that I've seen... but I digress.

This week's chapter starts with Kaguya making the funniest face she possibly could upon being sealed by Naruto and Sasuke...

Perhaps the moment his wife called him for dinner..?

Naruto and Sasuke use Chibaku Tensei to seal her and as she disappears she wonders why this had to happen once again (if you remember what little backstory she had, she was first sealed by her own sons).

The tailed beasts' chakras get separated from the Juubi and its rabbit part... spits out Madara (who, strangely, has his legs back **sigh**).

Suddenly, big rocks start assembling in the sky and take the shape of a moon (just like what happened during the Invasion of Pain Arc). This is done because when the Juubi is sealed, it creates a moon (which is proof that Kishimoto is being coherent for once).

Sasuke, Kakashi and Sakura escape to a safe place while Naruto has one last thing he needs to do on his own : make sure Black Zetsu won't ever make all this chaos happen ever again. So Naruto finds Kaguya's arm (which Black Zetsu is currently hiding inside of) and throws it up in the air, onto the new moon that is currently being created, so the arm and Black Zetsu get sealed along with Kaguya and can never return.

The new moon leaves the earth and... most likely goes in the space..?

Kaguya's dimension now has its own, exclusive moon ! Too bad no one will ever get the chance to see it...

Anyway, with Black Zetsu gone, Naruto goes back to his friends' side where we get another one of those refreshing funny moments Kishimoto rarely allows us to have.

Indeed, Naruto and Sasuke have sealed Kaguya but they forgot to make her bring them back to the real world, so they're all stuck in her dimension...

...Or so they think ! Hagoromo, who is currently in the real world, has summoned all the dead Kages to make one big Kuchiyose no Jutsu and bring everyone, including the Bijuus, back into their own world again.

They are welcomed by Hagoromo who thanks them all for saving the world.

Two of the most cliché sentences in one chapter... congrats Kishi !
You've reached the highest level of a convenient ending !

My opinion on the chapter :

When I finished reading it, I was like : "That's it ? That was short !" (especially since I didn't understand 90% of what happened, and several other people have been complaining about the same thing). And while people everywhere are hating on this chapter, I don't even have the strength to so  anymore.

It's better to keep it short and relieve us from this arc quickly than drag it out any longer than it needs to be. I'm just grateful to God that this arc is finally over, so we can move on to something else. And hopefully, it'll be a lot more interesting this time. 

Overall : This chapter gets a 2.5/5.

     Good thing(s) :

+ some humor back in the series ?

+ Naruto making sure Kaguya and Black Zetsu won't respawn

     Meh thing(s) :

• Kishi being half-consistent only (Madara with legs, really ?)

• the chapter felt rushed

     Bad thing(s) :

none that I can really think of (Most of the fandom would say "everything" but I've gone soft this week).

That's it ! Thanks for reading. And for once, it was a short review !

This NaruSaku (wor)shipper has secretly sworn to take over the world with her fluffy kawaiiness. But since she's too lazy for that, she spends her time playing video games, promising herself that her dominion will start after she's done with this one game. 734853478h4538 games later, she's still in bed.








You may find her in her own kingdom, the only place she has managed to conquer so far: deviantArt.
