OK so here's a major problem of what we've learned today. Judging from the information we got today Naruto and Sasuke live in Konoha, probably protecting Kakashi who is the Hokage. Here's the real problem that this information unveils. If this movie is canon in terms of this is what happens after the Naruto and Sasuke fight, then we have a major problem.
Because that's like Kishi going "Hey here's the last chapter of the manga, I still have to write 100 chapters until the end but here's the end and how the story will continue after I ended it." Effectively Kishi killed any reason for the readers to continue reading his work.
It just killed all the suspense of the Naruto vs Sasuke fight. There's absolutely no suspense anymore, we don't wonder if Sasuke is going to live or not, we don't wonder if Sasuke gets another Rinnegan, we don't wonder if Sasuke uses his Rinnegan to bring back everyone that died during this war or any other scenario that could happen in the fight. All of that was just nullified. We know exactly how the fight will end.
As for Kakashi the Hokage, that's really great writing actually. Yeah a character that had no interest in that title and now he's not even worth a candidacy for that title. Is just given the title because Obito said so. I love you Kishi, I truly do. No writer on this planet can write more bs than you, no one can beat you. You might as well give the title to Ten Ten.
I really hope this movie is canon in terms of the author of the manga wrote it, therefore it's "canon". But not really canon.
Like Road To Ninja, it's "canon" because Kishi wrote it but it's not canon. It's not really part of the story.
Or it's AU.
