You got me all wrong since am not talking about pairing at all, am talking about Kishi's persistance in always making Sasuke the protagonist, the most awaited character to be introduced, etc, remember that normally everyone waits for the Hero not his rival but Kishimoto likes to give that spot to Sasuke for reasons I will never understand more than thinking that it's favoritism.
Well, true on my end. You can take my last response before this as an answer. We don't know really. He can be there as a main or a cameo. If this is part 3, we don't know where he stands until we see what unfolds in the manga. If he's in Konoha, what's up with the holdup? Maybe not as vital as Team 7 (new)? If he's not there, then would a cameo be possible? All I'm saying is it's possible that he may appear in the movie for a short bit. Or he may appear as important. I mean it's not end of the world if he appears less or none at all. While RtN has different focus, the fact Sasuke wasn't really there tells you it's ok. But again, we don't know the status, so the wait continues.
