Nobody saw Naruto becoming uber powerful, right. Etc etc. Let's face it, Assertn, buddy. We all saw it coming.
the only reason everyone saw the sannin/team 7 association coming was because of the hints in the chapter covers that kishimoto likes to make. i dont think a single anime-only viewer has guessed that sakura will train with tsunade yet.

And no, nobody saw gaara and lee showing up to fight kimimaro....the gaara thing was guessed but only because it was hinted at. If you're going to say that the storyline is obvious because of foreshadowing, then you might as well say that for practically any series.

ive seen far less correct predictions than you make it seem, but I guess if you want to point at something that happened in the past and say "oh yeah, i knew that was gonna happen", then it would be pretty hard to prove or disprove that.

Yeah, me and just about everybody else here. Not that big a deal. No shame in liking a series, no matter how one dimensional or predictable it is. Though, my interest after the big time jump is starting to plummet considerably.
I'd have to argue that the newest saga is one of the best so far...and you're the minority in your opinion, but at least you agree with my last point
