So, I've been a viewing member of this forum for quite a while, but haven't really posted anything for years, but figured this will probably be one of the last times I am on this forum at all, so just wanted to say that it was a pleasure reading all your funny rants and discussions on this manga. Can't believe it's been 15years since i've been reading this...feel like its a big milestone in my life. Almost feel like this may mark the end of my childhood, as its one of the only things i've really held onto from that time period in my life. And I will say that probably says a lot about this manga. No matter how much you want to criticize the storyline in the later stages of the manga (and i wouldn't disagree), I have to say that Naruto gave me a lot of great memories, and will be remembered as one of the best parts of my childhood. So thanks, thats all.
