Veng, those ideas aren't bad.

Also, Silver, Madara might be a failure, but he is still the most powerful shinobi we know and probably the most powerful one alive.
Not to mention, Kishi is sly when it comes to hype. We may think Madara is a failure, only for Kishimoto to hype him with a story we didn't know happened out of the blue.

Besides, Nagato had a huge hype, and look what Kishi did to him. I am glad that hype doesn't mean shit to Kishi - simply means he can surprise us.

zetsu is the most mysterious guy in naruverse ryt now. and that is for the whole duration of part 2. he has shown himself briefly after the VOTE. and from time to time pops up from nowhere. he is part of akatsuki but something tells me that he really is not part of them. He is the bad guy that haven't shown yet any "badness" in him that gets me to think, "is he really one of the villains?". but having 2 personalities makes him one of top contenders for the final villain spot. the final battle will pit zetsu, kabuchimaru, naruto and sasuke in a battle royale.
zetsu will be the final villain. and only a fusion of Naruke or Sasuto, can stop Zetsu.

This could be ridiculous: A Madara fused with the full power of the Kyuubi would indeed present a grave threat. I dunno how but if one guy in the manga has the power to bring back dead people(a large number of them) then I don't see why there's not a very small chance for this too.

Getting the Kyuubi is the problematic part.

I think the Kyuubi is being underestimated to an extent. Kishi will most likely follow the folklore behind the character, meaning that the Kyuubi will be tricking and manipulating people around it rather than just being a pet beast of Madara. Considering the thing lives for eternity perhaps it's allowed a lot of things to occur for entertainment, a bit like how Ryuk manipulated Light in Death Note. I think that the emphasise throughout the story of the Kyuubi's evil chakra, and the fact that despite this we've learnt very little about it seems to indicate that it will play a larger part in the story. It's likely that Madara will still remain the big bad ultimately, especially because of the "chakra darker than my own," line that we were given, but I think Kishi's decision to introduce the scroll sealing the Kyuubi's yin chakra is further evidence of it leading to a bigger role.

Basically though the final villain will have to be Kabuto, the Kyuubi or Madara because they've all been seeded throughout the plot, not actually had that much revealed about them, and they are continuing to be developed in the story even when the plot diverges off into other directions. Characters like Pain weren't/aren't going to be the main villain because they're introduced and given a back story very quickly and then are killed off.

i stated other...let the manga go forward until naruto is old

Madara and Kyuubi have been connected since the first Hokage. Madara, Kyuubi and the 4th Hokage have also been connected. Madara still alive, Kyuubi is in Naruto, and Naruto is gonna be Hokage. Madara and/or his pet Kyuubi in Konoha against the Hokage make for the greatest stories to tell or hear. Naruto will have the greatest story, and Sasuke may share in it about finally putting an end to Madara and his pet Kyuubi. They will say, only two Hokage level nin could have defeated an immortal like Madara. Once Madara is gone, Naruto wont need it and neither will the future shinobi world. They might as well go out at the same time.

U know what i just thought? The 1st and his brother both seemed to have died in their prime, considering the age they were when Orochu brought them back. Madara was still secretly around, i bet he got his revenge in a non confrontational way. Maybe they both just died suddenly in there sleep one day, no signs of any type of muder.

Madara - Him. He makes more sense, since he's the one that set the paths for Naruto and Sasuke's lives.
Ressurected Nagato - Fuck no. He's done and over with. Reviving him for what? He's already been JnJ'd. He's now useless to the plot.
Rikodou Sennin - No. Him being brought into the story for the stupidest of reasons is just retarded. He has no reason to be the final villain.
Kyubi - He'd have to be extracted first. Which would mean Naruto's demise, and the end of the manga. Of course, Kishi would probably find some BS way to revive Naruto...

Here's some BS way to get Kyuubi out without Naruto having to die. "Go inside" Naruto like Sasuke did, walk between the bars and S/T him out.

I agree, Madara is the logical choice since he is currently the most powerful villain that we know of and the 1st Hokage is no longer around to challenge him. Maybe a more powerful villain will come around before the end of the manga but until then it is Madara.


I concur, especially considering from all accounts Rikudou Sennin was supposed to be a good guy who was trying make the world a better place. How and why he fail is anyone's guess.
The only way I can see it being him is if someone like Kabuchimaru were to use a Summoning: Worldly Resurrection (that is if he had that ability) to summon him. I don't think it would work though because I think it requires something of the person being resurrected and Rikudou Sennin has been dead a long time. Most likely there isn't anyone alive who would know were he is buried.

I would say Madara but I read an interview with Kishi where he said that it isn't Madara so I say that it is Kyubi because even the fourth Hokage wasn't able to kill or destroy him. He just sealed him away.
That would be cool: Naruto and Sasuke fighting together against the ultimate beast. ^^

Naruto and Sasuke togehter Versus the ultimate beast is most probable outcome, but along with Yondaime. Yondaime Sealed the beast he did not kill it therefore There was no way it was required to give your life, I beleive the cost was he had to seal himself with the kyubi also. So when the kyubi is released Minato will be back to help Naruto and Sasuke.

I also believe Madara wont be much trouble I think he will Fight Yamato. and Yamato will win. yamato is basically the 1st. So its a epic rematch pretty much. lol.

Speaking of the 1st it was it clarified how he died?

Shrike

Well, a fight with the Kyuubi would be kinda stupid. Kyuubi is just an animal. Gigantic blasts are all he can conjure, which is awesome and destructive, but boring.

We need a ninja as the final villain, someone who will give us a fight consisted of tactics, skill, jutsu, plot and talk, and awesomeness.

That being Madara most probably. Or Zetsu, though he pretty much is out of me because he clowned himself during the Uchiha fight.

narutojm

it would be pretty obious to all of us that madara is the last, but then again kishi can make another

IF I had my guess on who the final villain is it would Be Kabuto/Orochimaru. I think he is laying low until the whole Aka storyline comes to an end and Sasuke finally comes back to Konoha. I think Kabuto will engineer or empower himself to be a huge badass and it will take all of Team 7 to beat him and finally end the manga.

You are wrong, yamato is able to use wood element but he is much times weaker than the first. Yamato self said that. For example the first was able to controll tailed beasts but Yamato has even problems to supress the Power of the Kyubi. I would say Yamato is even weaker than Kakashi. (just my opinion)

Now I have two new points:
1) It sounds like we all thinks that the story is comming to an end but what if Kishi makes the story going on for another 50 chapters for example. In that case there could be many new possible villains appear.

2) What is with the other tailed beasts? Seven of them are incaged in this statue, I don't think that they are unimportant for the story.
Maybe someone (Zetsu for example or Orochimaru/Kabuto) will absorb them and become the ultimate shinobi.
Or they will be offerd to summon the main villain.
