I was just wondering how many more chapters you guys estimate the naruto manga will keep on running for. 50+ or maybe 100+ before every things tied up.

I personally don't want to see things keep on going for the sake of going, so I'm hoping that once the Akatsuki arc comes to an overall resolution the Kishimoto just decides to end it there. I'd hate to see him try and come up with even more over powered villains for naruto and co to fight.

I used to think that I wanted to see everything up until Naruto becomes the kage but now I'm thinking that it might be more graceful if Kishi just bows out once he ties up things with the akatsuki and Sasuke. Seeing as the Akatsuki are directly linked to the Bichu (or tailed beasts) and the bichu have always been the sort of intangible force that's been felt in the background but only recently has become something prevalent in the main story arc.

So what do you guys think? Will naruto get into the One Piece 400+ chapter range (although One Piece never seems like it's going to end) or go even longer?
