What are you taking about. That's a very bad usage of that phrase, it doesn't fit at all.
And judging by the sales and ratings of Naruto in Japan, it didn't lose a lot of fans. The western fans are irrelevant.
I hope from the bottom of my heart, that the manga doesn't end in the upcoming months.
In other words, the manga needed to end, before it got out of hand even more than it already has.
I realize that, but I'm still sure a lot of them dropped it. But, you are right. It might not have lost enough of it's Japanese fans to make a difference, but there was still probably a considerable amount.
I hope it DOES. It is already on the thin end of the thread. If he piles any more plot on top of that, it'll snap. It has obviously reached it's end, and as fans, we need to embrace that.
I hope I'm not coming off as a jerk... ^^;; If so, sorry.
