Though I love Sakura's new look, I still stand by my earlier post in this topic that the manga cannot end in just a mere (at this point) 16 chapters and then we just cut to the movie.
Its still far too early to say anything for sure but for now, I still consider it noncanon since its not just an ending but also a setup for a new era deal.
Still hardly anything has been given about the plot and though pairing fans are ravenous to think that somehow this stuff with Sakura now means NH is that woman sketched on the outline, I need to say people need to chill and think seriously:
Why the hell would kishi just answer everything to the plot by news releases, not by the time the actual movie is seen by others and shown? So yeah that explains that, they are not going to answer anything like relationships before the movie itself was released (most likely) but even then, that manga is still running, i doubt its going to just end all of a sudden when we still need to see kagyua beaten and hell what about the edo hokage, something has to happen with them as well, even the other far off stuff like sasukes goal and the aftermath of this war, this is stuff I doubt that will be all answered in the next 16 chapters.
This manga is most likely going into 2015 for a good poriton, I don't know why people think its the end all at once by dec 6th.
The finale of the manga was said to come in winter, winter aka dec 21st to march 21st, aka winter is the season at the end and start of every year. So this manga's finale phase begins in winter, I don't see how people are going to be surprised since this "winter finale phase" would come 3-4 weeks after the movie itself airs.
