The episode i cried the most... rest in peace obito (my favourite character) the build up and the emotional moment when he meets rin and gives kakashi sharingan was unbelievable also when naruto cut kaguya's hand and said that obito is an awesome person to him and then when kakashi's says he loves them... there are too many things to say about this episode, one of the best for sure ! Thanks Kishimoto for this story !

The end of Naruto is around the corner. The final battle with the most unexpected unlikely villain is almost finished. Kakashi feels useless after Obito died. He remembers the same sensation after he thought he lost him, and a series of repeated flashbacks is shown from back then. In the meantime, the young Obito tells Rin that before leaving, he must do something. From the place they are now, there's still a connection to the world of the living, he says his chakra still acts as a link. He says he will help Kakashi. She acknowledges they are good friends after all, and agrees to wait. Then, from Obito's ashes, smoke arises and reaches Kakashi. Inside his subconcious, the young Obito meets the young Kakashi, to warn him not to die any time soon, and wishes that the Sharingan should stay with him. He also assures that Naruto may be Hokage, but the 7th, Kakashi will be the 6th. Obito then gives him a temporary present: two Sharingans. Outside, the battle continues. Naruto uses two black metal bars to immobilize Black Zetsu, and Sasuke protects himself with Susanoo from Kaguya's attacks. Then, Naruto and eight clones produce nine powerful energy spheres, each one with the power of the respective tailed beast. Kaguya cannot evade the strikes, and loses her left arm in the process. Naruto rescues the falling Sasuke, Sakura cheers for him. And then, a strange event occurs: from Kaguya's wounded body, a big white mass of beasts begin to emerge. Naruto notices the shape of a rabbit, a kind of wolf, some of the Bijuus, while Sasuke comments will be easier to seal Kaguya. Black Zetsu observes that this is a response to Naruto's attack with the Bijuus chakra, and that the emerging mass in unstable, his mother can't control it. Some white arms appear from the mass, and catch a clone, absorbing him. Naruto warns Sasuke, and tells him to use his ocular technique to save Sakura, who was being chased by a white hand. But at the end, is Kakashi the one who rescues her, with a light blue Susanoo, surprising everyone. He thanks Obito, Sakura is glad and doesn't seem to care how it happened since she's safe. Naruto says his sensei is the copy ninja, while Sasuke is stunned as he thought Kakashi lost his Sharingan. Then, Kakashi uses Kamui combined with shurikens to slash the white arms, while Sakura guesses he obtained Obito's Sharingan. Naruto says that this Susanoo is better than Sasuke (what a moron). Kakashi tells that the Sharingan is stronger thanks to the Sennin powers. Then, the white mass begins a transformation, turns black, increasing its size, while absorbing somehow the chakra of those ones trapped in the Infinite Tsukuyomi. Black Zetsu comments that Kaguya is regaining control, creating a new dimension with the Bijuus chakra, the five elements, the ying and yang, and the four will be sacrificed. Naruto and Sasuke observe that is like a huge gudo dama, while Kakashi guesses that even if they leave with Kamui, they won't be able to return. Sasuke says that then they must seal her now, so Kakashi makes a plan: the last mission for team 7. Kaguya ponders which one of the two she'll kill first to prevent being sealed. The clones cover Naruto, and Sasuke says they must attack together so the enemy will be distracted for the sealing. She throws a spike to Kakashi, but he uses the space time ninjutsu to get through it. Then, he strikes her with a raikiri combined with Kamui. Naruto and Sasuke take the chance to approach Kaguya. She stabs Naruto with Black Zetsu's help (he created a portal from where he was to send a spike), but it's revealed he was a clone. Sasuke was Naruto transformed, and the real Sasuke teleports exchanging places with the clone turned into ashes. Kakashi uses Kamui again to avoid a stab to the real Naruto, so Kaguya decides to rise to evade the hands that are about to seal her. But from upside, she never saw coming Sakura, who lands a crucial hit on her head so Naruto and Sasuke can finish the job. Kakashi feels glad as he remembers the day he met his three pupils. There's a flashback to Naruto's prank with the eraser, Sakura's excuses, and Sasuke's indifference (nice to remember). And then, the repeated scene when each one said their dreams as kids (this one was needless). Now, Kakashi is proud.

That was it. The last mission, the last real fight of Naruto Shippuden, when the world is saved. Anyone who reached this point wanted to see how the story ends. The first thing to comment is Kakashi's sudden power up. The surprise, the sudden nature of the idea means that the writer improvised. It's like he forgot or didn't think that at this point Kakashi would be useless. The moment he lost the Sharingan to Madara was another example of improvisation. The Uchiha needed to reach Obito's dimension and there was no other way. So back then, he forgot how to make Kakashi useful again. I mean, how is possible for anyone to believe that the dead Obito could grant him the power of two Sharingans, with powers beyond reality? Obito's eyes never performed Susanoo and now suddenly Kakashi could. Where the Sennin powers came from? It's pretty inconsistent, incoherent. Then, I said before, Sasuke's teleporting technique, granted by Hagoromo is also surreal, out of nowhere. Turns out that this allowed him to get close enough to Kaguya in order to seal her, besides of Naruto's help. What Sasuke did well, was to try to save Sakura when Naruto asked him to. At the end Kakashi saved her, but at least Sasuke had the intention. This is a progress. Still, must be recognized that was Naruto the one who noticed Sakura was in danger. He never loses sight of her, he expresses his deep love and care even here. Also, I can't criticize his moves. He did everything like if he had no power ups from Hagoromo. Using transformation to look like Sasuke, and a clone to deceive, these were techniques he knows since the first three chapters of the story, since he was just a boy. Naruto used the simplest techniques to deceive a goddess!!! At least Kishimoto had this great idea. Then, using the powers from the Bijuus was important. What happened proves that the best way to defeat the being who has the Juubi inside, was to use the Bijuus chakra. So if Naruto used the same nine strikes against Madara when he was the jinchuriki, the beasts would have been released, and everything would have ended sooner. Now this didn't happen because Kaguya contains much more chakra than just the Juubi. That's why the white mass emerged, and had a rabbit shaped face. About Sakura's small part, well, no one can ask her more. She has no magic Sharingan or any special eye. She has no alien powers. All what she could do was use her strength on a simple hit. Taijutsu affects Kaguya, as Naruto's hit worked after distracting her with the jutsu sexy. Sakura can make clones and transformations, but that wasn't needed since Naruto is present. To finish, I have to praise the teamwork. It felt nostalgic at this point. I admit that the fight was surreal, same as the enemy, Black Zetsu, the black emerging dimension issue, whatever. But at the end was entertaining. I guess that was Kishimoto's only goal while finishing the story. Instead of creating a dramatic realistic masterpiece of finale, he gave a happy surreal idealistic ending. For what I've read, looks like he was rushed to keep writing and end the story with 700 manga chapters. But he possibly wanted to end the story before. Then, who is to blame? Crazy fans for demanding? Editors for not prioritizing the quality of the story? Kishimoto for giving in? Unfortunately, the story is already told, and there's nothing to do about it.
