If Naruto doesn't end with the death of someone who reaaaally deserves it (that and Naruto hooking up with the wrong girl, obv) I'm gonna be so pissed.
I doubt it's going to end anytime soon, so you can rest easy for now.

It's ending November 10th. Officially.
Edit: That being said, Bleach has at least several months if not a year left. Also despite the mostly fan-servicey depictions of most females in the manga, a majority of the females in Bleach can handle their own in battle. Not saying it's a shining bastion of feminine empowerment, but it's a bit better than most. I am kind of disappointed that Yhwach's "elite squad" has no females, unless the one who is covered by their cloak/doesn't speak is. Sorry for the anime tangent, etc.

Apologies for Bleach talk
I was thinking of bringing up bleach when the next Transgender thread was made, about the transgendered villain and how she was outed/misgendered repeatedly by two of the good guys but treated with relative respect and use of correct pronouns by the Deviant Devil-you-know "good guy" captain.
Of course she gets killed by the same captain, but death in Bleach is hardly the end of a character.

Sadly until the author states one way or another, there is no 100% way to know the person is transgender or just less feminine than her teammates. Not that her body seems to go by the normal rules of physiology anyhow.

Re: magus
I could be just assuming. I don't have access to the earlier chapters where the character is introduced, I was going off the fact that she was in a all female squad and the two good guys who outed her basically went "you have a penis, dude".
But I have no idea what the original Japanese script said.

It's gonna be NaruxSaku, I can feel it in my bones. Dammit all. Hell, I bet Kishimoto will do an HP-style 'babies for everyone!' epilogue, too.

it's not really important to know anyway
Marty: The future, it's where you're going? Doc: That's right, twenty five years into the future. I've always dreamed on seeing the future, looking beyond my years, seeing the progress of mankind. I'll also be able to see who wins the next twenty-five world series.

Well, yeah. It kinda is, even if you just look at it from the standpoint of positive representation in media.
The issue is whether or not the character's trans-ness defines the entire character, only exists as a plot device, or is being used in an otherwise exploitative manner.
I had a twitter chat where i was saying I wanted to have trans people in my comic but i didnt want to dumbledore them
I feel JJ has handled it pretty well but obvs that just from my perspective?
There's also Crona from Soul Eater, who's super androgynous and goes the whole story with indeterminate gender and it's never really treated as important at all, iirc.
Plus Soul Eater actually has a female protagonist, while her male partner is 100% the support chick.
...Also Eruka Frog

The character from Bleach, Giselle Gewelle, doesn't really reference her gender but gets upset when some characters imply she's a transgender/cross dresser. Some of her interactions in Bleach are of a sexual nature.* Mind you, the character is meant to be very weird, gender stuff aside.

It is a really clever show with good characters and maybe the most diverse cast on network TV and is super super fun

Doc: That's right, twenty five years into the future. I've always dreamed on seeing the future, looking beyond my years, seeing the progress of mankind. I'll also be able to see who wins the next twenty-five world series.
I like the diversity for sure
But I can't hep but compare it to the shows like it that came before, such as Buffy and even Supernatural
I think its a better show overall than Supernatural but lacks the wit and some of the charm
Its a very solid show of that kind, but it isn't excellent. The cast to me lacks a level of chemistry with each other you got out of a Buffy.
That being said, I'm only up to episode 8 so maybe it improves a lot? I dunno.
Obilik, Rog, Omirm, and Omem
I think
