Will the fighting ever end?

[Fantastic Mr Fox]

Naruto has always been about fighting (obviously). I'd say that the theme has become 'can mankind live without war? or is it in our nature?'
We see this in the Pain arc, and we see this in the war arc.

Based on evidence from the manga, what do you think will become of the shinobi world?
Keep in mind that Naruto refuses to take a life (so far). I think his decision to kill/not kill will decide the previous question.

Will the fighting continue as it always has?

Will Naruto bring peace?
If so will it be a temporary peace, which Pain spoke of?

Please elaborate. I'm looking for your thoughts, not just your opinions.

ya bro dont forget this is a manga, in other words its made for our entertainment. and whats more entertaining that fighting? porn maybe but i dont see kishi taking that route

Of course it will. Just like World War 1 was "The War to End All Wars"

Judging by the way the story of Naruto has grown and advanced from the very first episode, To assume Naruto is all about 'fighting' is a pretty ignorant evaluation if you ask me. There's a lot of lessons and messages involved in each arc people can apply to their own real lives, in my opinion it's quite an admirable show for an anime about Ninja and Kishi should be proud of his creation.

The term of naruto which depicted Ninja's life MUST be, without fail, without doubt, oblige to, not limited to, can be exaggerating, excessively, normally, would be evolving around wars and fighting. If, Ninjas are used for agriculture or social works maybe we will see different interpretation.

Cause people don't want to listen to the King of the modern world ;l.
They think they are all that. And that they can't be naive, and have to pretend to be all self-centered.

Yes, naruto has many themes (self sacrifice/coming of age/etc...) but fighting is the premise of the manga and I think calling me ignorant for pointing that out is a bit thoughtless. Also, Kishi, should be proud.

But, what I'm asking is 'will the fighting ever end?'

Yes, the manga is for our entertainment. That does not mean fighting out the wazoo. Kishi has shown some real thought beyond simply fight scenes.

My question is a question kishi presents to Naruto (through various antagonists/other characters)
I don't think he can leave it unanswered.

Sorry, didn't mean to pick on you. This is to all the replies so far..
