If that's true, he's giving Pierrot quite a bit of leeway to do as they please and flaunt whoever they want for as long as possible. At least, that's the gist of what I understand from their campaign scheme leading up to RtN with that promiscuous Hinata and Sasuke (who, by the way, were only seen in the movie for 5 to 10 minutes top, iirc).
it's so sad that kishi is allowing them to do that, and i highly doubt that he's unaware of it too. if i was kishi, i would be furious at the fact that SP inserted some scene that resembles one of their filler episodes. it's like they're trying to retcon events. i'd go down there and demand who's ever responsible for this to be fired immediately.
but if kishi's all about that money, then i'm sure he's more than fine with them doing this. even if ns is canon, he'd be a sellout in my eyes.
