Naruto 692: that ridiculous face/heel turn! Though it was always going to be the climax of the manga, I thought the recent arc meant he was going to sidestep it altogether. Instead, Kishimoto has set up the final fight in the most abrupt and stupid way. Surprise! Even though I had a million opportunities to further this agenda in the last fight I’ll do it now instead! And it didn’t happen until after Kishimoto got in more tsundere-Kyuubi lines, for even more demerits.
