The main character is burito.
Naruto is just supportive character in that movie.

If that were the case then they shouldn't have added "Naruto The Movie" at the end of the title.

Staff Comments from The Last: Kobayashi (full)

Director Tsuneo Kobayashi’s commentary on The Last from the program guide. I finally finished the full translation. Thanks again to rieriebee for providing scans.

At our first meeting with Kishimoto-sensei, it was requested that we make Naruto the main character of the movie as opposed to having a guest character for this work. From there, we thought about what Naruto was lacking, and came up with “romantic feelings.” It was decided that we would make Naruto’s last movie a “romance movie” instead of an “action movie.”

First, I received the scarf idea from the scriptwriter, Kyozuka-san, and was extremely pleased. From there, we thought we couldn’t make a story with a scarf as the main item, so we came up with the image of Naruto wearing a red scarf, holding hands with Hinata and sprinting through a space with floating bubbles of light that projected their memories. We thought it would make a beautiful picture to take several flashbacks of the memories of these two, which are also scenes in the memories of Naruto fans, and display them like revolving lanterns. We immediately drew the image board and named this world “the memory space.” For the story of this production, we thought backwards to what kind of episode we ought to make in order to tie to this scene.

We completely changed the visuals from those of previous movies and brushed them up. We made a lot of trouble for our character designers Nishio-san and Suzuki-san by giving them unreasonably demanding orders such as making the head length to body height ratio high.

The colors and art are also new. The Hyuuga residence in particular is an important setting when it first makes its appearance, so using the Hyuuga residence in the original work as a reference, we went on location to an old family mansion and remade the setting. In the scene where Hinata converses with Hanabi, the art is beautiful, and I was pleased with the orange from the lights and the atmosphere like that of “In’ei Raisan.” (Translator’s note: “In’ei Raisan” or “In Praise of Shadows” is an essay on Japanese aesthetics written by Jun’ichiro Tanizaki in 1933.) We tried making the color scheme in the scene where Naruto confesses to Hinata like that of a Gogh painting, with the blue water and the shining golden butterflies.

In the dream scene where Naruto, who is dense about romantic love, realizes Hinata’s feelings, it was interesting to mix up the order of the past episodes and put them together randomly like a puzzle. We thought of many patterns for how to put together the episodes until the current Naruto sees Hinata at the academy writing his name on her paper.

I think it was difficult to come up with images for this work, and we originally created Toneri with an image like that of young Johnny Depp as Edward Scissorhands. Toneri can’t understand the feelings of others because he lived alone on the moon since he was young, and so he’s a character who lacks romance for reasons different from Naruto’s.

We had the scenario checked by Kishimoto-sensei. I appreciate that amidst being busy with serialization, he kindly gave us various advice. He also wrote some of the important lines such as, “It takes time to knit a scarf.”

By the way, we made sure to show the key shot of Hinata facing sideways. The side-facing heroine is homage to Alfred Hitchcock’s impressively produced “Vertigo” and director Nobuhiko Obayashi’s “Sabishinbou.”

Since this production is Naruto’s last movie, I tried to have fun while looking back on “Naruto’s memories,” then I put my feelings that this would be a work of everyone’s new “memories” into directing. I will be happy if this production always stays in the corner of everyone’s heart as a “memory.”

i tried, but i can't pity kishimoto when he sold out his story himself. also now the red scarf story is retconned! it's not kishi's idea but  the scriptwriter, Kyozuka-san  

 

also i get that they are trying to replicate other famous works but c'mon the storyline itself is a carwreck.... aethestics over everything else.. huh

This just makes me feel bad for Toneri

Naruto's a jerk who only likes girls cause other guys like them, but Toneri legit is lonely and wants love.

Nice.

So that stupid scarf was someone else's idea instead of Kishi's? You know like he said.

there's so much contradictions, i just can't make sense of it kishi should have rehearsed his interview lines better

"SIDE-FACING HEROINE"

So the admit that Hinata is the real Heroine.

 

That whole staff comment its just like 1 guy who have a dream entering dream world of anime and fall in love with big boob submissive girl. The why he talked and explain all of that is like, hes been holding it back for like 5 years ... 3 at least of self insert dating and sleeping with sexy Byakugan princess. If all of what he says is true, than its save to say The Last is a product of 1 guy who have dream become naruto and have girlfriend like hinata.

What the hell is this mean?? all this talk about memories and he said always "STAY" in the corner of everyone's heart as memory its more like a brainwash to me.

 

This guy obviously obsess and crazy about his love for the byakugan princess.

Well, that because naruto is the name of the franchise.
Just like saint seiya or detective conan.

Why rocci, why? I want to say the same but you did it first

Some thoughts show up in my mind and I don't like those but I can't help it.
What's the reason, anyway?

ugh. gag. again, it's like they weren't even watching the same series. It's telling that the whole interview was about Hinata - the knitting, the Hyuuga house, the side-profile pose, the scarf, even the line he mentioned that Kishimoto contributed was about Hinata.

 

It's obvious they wanted to create something that was like an NH fanfic and not an extension of the original series.

 

And yes, making Toneri like Edward Scissorhands...wah? It's not enough to ruin Naruto...now they've got to reach out and incorporate other pop-culture icons to warp into something they're not?!?

The fact that they say Toneri is modeled after Edward is almost sob worthy.

Lonely his entire life, falls in love, can't be with person he loves, lives entire life alone in the end

Like WTF. Why does everyone have to suffer in the end so that Hinata can get her happy ending? there is not one person this ending benefited more then her in the end. Not one. 

She's a background character, yet everyone else is thrown under the bus for her sake in one shape or another.

...........seriously, we might as well the fans make our own Naruto The Last movie and call it canon. I bet you we can even get Junko to be on board with the series if we payed enough.

"I want it all to be a memory"

Riiiight....more like nightmares.

I'll be the English voice of Naruto. Who should voice Sakura?

[Yyubie]

The questions in my mind is why it has to be hinata?, what about tenten and ino?? . From position point of view they are all the same side character. But why only hinata get everything she ever dream of?

Tenten deserve more than hinata. Seriously the only think we have see about her is her selling some ninja tool in chapter 700, and then no more info about her .... nothing.
