Sigh, I might as well post my opinion about all of this. It's obvious the movie is canon. Now, the premise of the movie is the moon hurdling towards earth, blah blah blah. While this is happening, Hanabi Hyuuga is kidnapped(I'm assuming since she's the next clan head? whatever). So in my opinion, this movie is going to be tolerable, nothing more, nothing less. Kishi is going to close so many plot holes in a 2 hour movie, frankly speaking, he's just going to get more questions from failng to close it out properly. he's trying to address:
1. A love plot(as you all know, I made a bet with someone 7 years ago for naruto and hinata)
2. Tying up loose ends of all the characters left from the manga(even when the most relevant is Sai, Sakura, Naruto, Shikamaru, and Hinata)
3. And the ancestral history of Hamura, etc.
Now, it's painfully clear that this movie is going to earn a lot because it's the last of a 15-year-old manga. But will it be able to live up to the standards of us who's just trying to get it finished? Probably not, but were still going to watch it, aren't we?

I'm the only one thinking of a new form of government in Konoha like a TRIUMVIRATE WITH THREE HOKAGES? (NARUTO, SASUKE AND SAKURA?)
-
We already know that Sasuke's turning into a gypsy come the end of the manga, plus Sakura is useless and Naruto is no Hokage material.
-
Don't know if mentioned before, but there are 4 key chains showcased with the chibi naruto and sasuke pic. It's of Naruto, Sasuke, Kakashi, and Hinata.

While the first two can't be helped, this may be a proof that there's no prospect for Sakura since nobody cares about her anymore.

It'd be fun if the final movie ended up being the Tenchi Forever (Tenchi Muyo in Love 2 - Distant Memories) of the franchise.
For those that havbe no idea what that means… the final Tenchi movie was a radical departure from all the other entries in the franchise. It didn't have much action, aged the characters, changed the artstyle, and was much slower and more serious than the preceeding wacky tv series. Instead of the usual comedy-flavored action, the film is a downbeat, sexual melodrama that studies its characters quite intensely, shedding light on Katsuhito's past, the depth of Ryoko and Ayeka's feelings for Tenchi, and Tenchi's hidden desires, including him definitively picking a girl instead of leaving the harem open ended for fans to pick their favorite.
As a result, it was hated by most fans, but its my favorite outing of the entire franchise.
That's not what we're going to get, but it'd be fun. For the backlash if nothing else.
-
No matter how it ends, there will be a part of the fanbase that'll bitch and moan. Well at least he's trying to close it out, I guess.

原作で描かれることなき空白の時、「THE LAST」 かって落ちこぼれと呼ぱ札た英雄、うずまきナルトの最後の物語は、愛。
The blank time not covered in the original story unfolds in “The Last”. A tale of the boy who was once a (sidelined/left behind) dropout, the hero, the last story of Uzumaki Naruto is, love.
It seems that the movie is a fill in to the actual ending. So either there will be an epilogue after the movie pr 699 os actually showing the future as well

It's the epilogue.

Chapter 697 colored by Shueisha: http://imgur.com/a/Vh9iP

I just found out Naruto will actually end with chapter 700, which will be fully colored.
So, the fight is almost over, which means there's going to be a lot of talking in the next 2 chapters.
-
I don't think I can bring myself to watch over an hour of Naruto.(the movie)
-
And early spoiler this week.
And 2 chapters next week with one in color…
-

It's already out? Jeez. Can you post it here? Too lazy to search for it.

It's not out yet as far as I can tell.

Are you sure that's right?
I saw some conflicting info. Like #700 is going to be last chapter and it will be full color, and the one before that will have a color page.
-
Yup… WSJ is released on 11/1... meaning Saturday and early spoiler. Wednesday is the most likely scenario
EDIT
Ah you mean the double chapterNaruto is getting two chapters next week and will end on chapter 700. The first chapter will be the Lead Cover at the front of the magazine, and the final chapter will be in full colour.
Naruto is now the fourth series in Shonen Jump history to end on a Lead CP following in the footsteps of Ring ni Kakero -> Dragon Ball -> Slam Dunk
Congratulations.
-
It says something when the end of the series is imminent and discussion is at pretty much an all time lull. The thread very nearly dropped off the front page!
-
So they are ending on 700. Well good for them, certainly looks better than 699. And full color at that. I am just thankfull both the last chapters come out in the same issue. Means it ends sooner.^^
-
So 10/29 or 30? Then Another Saturday? Oh, the full official trailer for the movie comes out Thursday.
-
Now the percentages come to a end.
Taking 515 once more to be the beginning of this war arc, "The Great War Begins!", we can see that it's gonna conclude with 185 chapters. There's officially gonna be 700 chapters, and then that'll be the end.
So it ends as 26.4% (over 1/4!) of Naruto's run.
-

Holy shit, that's a lot.
Way too much for the crap fest it turned out to be.
-
I sincerely don't remember 90% percent of the war.

I sincerely don't remember 90% percent of the war.
I don't either and thats such a damn shame because I remember thinking it had a lot of potential with Kabuto reviving so many people for some good face off's and we were so poorly disappointed with the delivery.
So long, drawn out and some really crap fight scenes too. I mean I forgot reading about Mifune Vs Hanzo until I saw it again in the anime and that was a half decent fight for once in my opinion at least.
It has to 100% be the one more villain fight after the next that drove it to tedious levels; I'm just glad we can finally see some form of ending in sight. I remember first catching Naruto on tv about 8 years ago and discovering the manga and I'm in shock I'm actually seeing a shonen manga series to the end. Dragon Ball began and finished before it even came over to UK shores so this is really exciting of an event for me.

Remember the seven swordsmen? Yeaah…what happened with that?

I actually remember the first half of the war pretty well. I thought the Omoi and Darui stuff was pretty good... And the Hanzo vs Samurai boss stuff, too. Oh, and ClamKage was top tier Golk Raikage Belt good.

In 1814 we took a little trip
Along with Colonel Nardo down the mighty Mississip'
We took a little ramen and we took some pocky
And we caught the bloody Zetsus in the town of New OrleansWe threw our kunai and the Zetsus kept a-coming
There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago
We threw once more and they began a-running
Way down the Land of Mist to the Village of the SoundWe looked down the river and we see the Zetsus coming
And there must've been a hundred of them beating on the drum
They stepped so high and they made the bugles ring
We stood by our ninja logs and we didn't say a thingWe threw our kunai and the Zetsus kept a-coming
There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago
We threw once more and they began a-running
Way down the Land of Mist to the Village of the SoundOld Nardo said we could take them by surprise
If we didn't use our jutsus until we looked them in the eye
We held our fire until we see'd their faces well
And we opened up with shadow clones and really gave them…Well...We threw our kunai and the Zetsus kept a-coming
There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago
We threw once more and they began a-running
Way down the Land of Mist to the Village of the SoundYeah they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles
And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go
They ran so fast that Kiba couldn't catch them
Way down the Land of Mist to the Village of the SoundWe used our jutsus until our chakra melted down
So we grabbed Sasuke and we fought another round
We filled his head with exploding tags and powdered his behind
And when we touched the tags off, Sasuke lost his mindWe threw our kunai and the Zetsus kept a-coming
There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago
We threw once more and they began a-running
Way down the Land of Mist to the Village of the Sound -

There's an early chapter tonight, right? Next Monday is a public holiday in Japan if I'm not mistaken.

Before the normal release day became Thursday, that would be the case, but now that the new day for releases is 1 day later, we've been getting Saturday jump chapters on Wednesdays.

@Galaxy:

Before the regular release became Thursday we would get early chapters Monday night / Tuesday morning, now it should be Tuesday night / Wednesday morning as opposed to the Wednesday night / Thursday morning we've become accustomed too the past couple months.

I'm tired enough to have thought that today is Monday, but yeah, what I've said in regards to the days ( and what you've said is correct).

That thing of two chapters in the same week ever happened before on Shonen Jump or any other magazine or this is the first time it happened?
-

I know that it happens quite a lot in Weekly Shonen magazine, heck next week Nanatsu no taizai is getting two chapters, and Fairy tail is forever getting double chapters.

Oh yeah forgot about Fairy tail.
Now if you'll excuse me I have forget again that I have read that manga. -
You know you hate something when you are completely indifferent to its ending.
-

One Piece chapter 0 and the regular weekly chapter happened at the same time.
As did the Cross Epoch chapter and regular OP chapter.
I'm sure its happened for others as well but those I know off the top of my head. Generally it has to be a pretty special event just due to the production time needed.
You know you hate something when you are completely indifferent to its ending.
That's… not hate.
That's indifference.
They're completely different things. "Don't enjoy anymore" maybe. But certainly not "hate".

Well, they say that indifference, not hate, is the opposite of love.
-
I hope just for maximum suckage he pulls a Shaman King and just cuts away from the final conflict and has the last chapter be some bullshit where they walk around talking about what happened as if it was no big deal.
"Oh Sasuke is Hokage now but yada yada, it's cool and we have babies together and stupid shit like that. What's that whimpering sound?"

Naruto: Flowers
Well, they say that indifference, not hate, is the opposite of love.
Elie Wiesel said that. It's debatable.
And someone quoted him in some anime or manga I watched/read recently. Can't remember which one, though. -
Well, they say that indifference, not hate, is the opposite of love.
That's what I meant.
I do understand the difference but I used to hate Naruto…and the next thing I felt after hating it was indifference. Well, it's debatable, of course, but whatever.

Naruto: Flowers
Ironically enough, Shaman King: Flowers is getting cut short as well. So if there is a part 3/sequel, lets hope that it meets the same fate (unlikely as that is).
-
Ironically, Shaman King and Naruto are the prime example of how the author hype the villain so much it ruins the entire franchise.
