So you went from a demon that was seperated into several parts and banned to the moon
to the sha that consist of several parts, and a vague theory about the old god in 5.2?
Still can't see any form of link whatsoever.
Pretty sure that if you make it vague enough, you can prove that *almost* every story in existence borrows from another story/plot/group of characters. Except for the first groups of books that were written, of course. Very little is original anymore, and even of the things that sound original, if you go back far enough in time you will find that they may have "borrowed" from someone else.
Sorry, but there is no vague theory about the old god, it's a fact.
It's called 7 burdens of Shao Hao, Y'shraaj had 7 heads, yet there are only 6 Sha, instead of 7
There is a Ten Tailed demon, yet there are only 9 beasts, instead of 10.
The end result is the that missing one is actually all of the links combined together.
That's not the point. What I'm getting at, is it possible to somewhat predict where the plot will go.
Will we find the Old God's body on the Ulduar like Stronghold island of Thunder king?
Will Garrosh manage to find the way to control all 6 forms of Sha?
And if all of the above come true, will he use this power to ressurect the Old God...or atleast take his power, which is combination of all 6 together?

Then don't frame your title the way you did. You've only got yourself to blame for the Naruto-related remarks, since your entire premise was that the WoW plot = Naruto plot, followed by an explanation why.
It's like making a thread named "I hate My Little Pony", to talk about the latest Knicks-Lakers game inside (with a My Little Pony reference worked in the body of the post somewhere), and then being angry that everyone went all MLP batshit crazy on you.
I think in the later tiers we will see Garrosh being fully corrupted by each of the 6 Sha or he will be the 7th. Either way, Garrosh will be majorly corrupted by Sha energies. Hopefully we could see some badass transformation during the boss fight
Also will be interesting to see if Blizzard actually follows this Ancient mythology(Just what OP described with the Naruto ref.) in WoW or they just go their own style.
I thought of this when I saw the final quest of Dominance Offensive.
Without wanting to spoil anything... there's a certain weakling that gets smashed by boulders but somehow still has a couple of HP left... sounds familar?
Well afterall I dont know what this Naruto stuff is nor do I care but...
No I dont think everyone except the Mantid know about this, nor will they tell. Maybe the dudes who got exalted but Lore wise ? No that won't happen. Garrosh wont be yelling "HORDE WE WILL RESURRECT OLD GODS AND STUFF"
Actually that would be pretty cool but... I doubt it. The Klaxxi / Mantid aren't the kindliest brood and won't tell everyone.
Well, I didn't really care about him anymore. He was once my favourite character but as time went by, he and the other side characters didn't recieve any development and I kinda forgot about all the other ninjas in Konoha. So his death didn't really "touch" me.
OT: I can see where you're going at with that "9 tailed beasts but 10 tailed origin" - "6 sha but 7 headed origin". I only read the OP at first and you didn't mention it there, you probably should.
Also, people are obviously forgetting that Garrosh might ACCIDENTLY res Y'shaarj? I mean, it's not like Blizz could twist the story like it wouldn't take any difficult ritual to resurrect an old god. Or maybe Garrosh finds some notes on how to resurrect the old god but misinterprets them and thinks he would get the power of the Sha that way (more likely to happen). Who knows, only time will tell.

Question: Whatever happened to the lore of "The Sha are the physical manifestations of Emperor Shuhao's emotions which he purged from himself to become a better leader"? I swear that was the idea behind the Sha for all of the leveling lore. So is it Y'shaarj's remains or Shuhao's emotions?
Thanks for this post man, i can't bring myself to do dailies and this post is juicy with old god info.
Whats even bigger of a plot is Mogu are Retextured Draenei HOLY SHIT
But no i dont think theyre related theyre similiar sure but many things are
naruta oh comon its even worse than i imagined.
Kung fu panda, pokemon, and now naruto.. god damn
WoW story was interesting untill they broke it.
They MAY have taken some of Sha plotline from Naruto but i really doubt it. It's so vaguely correlated it doesn't line up really that close at all.
