I used to watch and read it. Until the homosexual tension with Naruto and Sasuke reached unbearable levels, also the Naruto character itself annoys the hell out of me, and now that I have more porridge in my skull I can see why.
The guy wants to be Kage so he gets acknowledged and respected, his whole dream is nothing more than a excuse so people will pay attention to him, he doesn't want the position for the responsibility but rather for people to suck up on him.
That, as a bit of a lone wolf myself, is pathetic beyond belief, it is impossible for everyone to like you and you shouldn't focus your life into getting other's respect, be yourself and those who like what they see will give you their without years long plans.
That aside I still check the manage every 3 weeks or so because I'm intrigued in how its going to end, but I mirror your feelings it is getting out of hand also it annoys me that Obito is a Naruto-gone-bad.
For the prediction I bet there will be a long speech about, precious people, friendship and other things unrelated to the battle field and everyone will turn towards Madara (even Obito after the therapy justu) and kill him. Obito will die of course and everyone will be happy.
Oh and Naruto's first act as Hokage will be to make marry Sasuke...and Sakura.
Speaking of Sakura she admitted she had been saving energy for years for that moment, ergo she was useless at purpose for her own selfish reasons. And lo and behold she doesn't participate in the combo attack in the lastest fights.
Anyway enough of my ranting and rambling >.>
If you're still interested in this avenues of entertainment I recommend Attack on Titan, is decent'iish.
