Naruto ended decently and was rather nice, though chapter 700 with all the random pairings save for NaruHina, SasuSaku, and ShikaTem, was a bit much, especially when all the kids were around.

But 699 was where the story really ended, and the one that ended up ultimately concluding the story was none other than Sasuke, who basically explained the life of himself and Naruto on their road of being a shinobi.

I felt it was nice, seeing things from Sasuke's POV in 698 and 699, and how we saw what took place in the aftermath of the war, with the release of Infinite Tsukuyomi, the funerals, Sasuke's pardon, etc.

But if Bleach ends next chapter, it is bad. Because you cannot have the fixing of the balance with the Soul King being dead and the aftermath of the battle all in a span of 17+ pages.
