Guys it's just an excuse to justify the movie. It was in production from 2012, if he really wanted nh to happen so badly then he could have written more about Naruto feeling something for her, but he didn't.
He had to change route at least from January or May.
More and more indicates that Kishi really just sold out.
One day, one day, I am sure, Kishi will come out with the truth and reveal to his fans that he orignally intended NaruSaku to become cannon, just like J.K. Rowling did. If that day comes, NaruSaku has become officially cannon for me.
I hope that he will make some snarky comments towards NaruHina and SasuSaku.- I still remember that "marriage therapy" joke with Hermione and Ron.
