All I see in the interview is further Naruto's growth in this movie... what growth exactly? If 699, 699.5 (The Last), and 700 depict anything, it's that Naruto didn't grow up at all and more importantly abandoned his morals and ultimately accomplished hallow victories.
Like a majority of us have been stating, there was a higher sense of accomplishment after the Pain Arc. Here's my reasons for that, Naruto didn't really think of Sasuke once during that whole arc, nor did anyone else, Naruto actually learned the struggles of losing someone close to him, some lesser characters got some involvement, Hinata got what we thought would be closure, Naruto looked past revenge, didn't really like Nagato much despite that, Sakura did some neat things earlier, even called out for Naruto, our orange hero gotta a loud round of applause for saving his village thus getting what he always wanted from them: acceptance and recognition, a pretty intimate hug in public between Naruto and Sakura, and last a Hinata looking on smiling. The only downside of this arc was the hand wave of the deaths Pain/Nagato had caused
Honestly, wth was the point about world peace and unting the ninja world bs ?
Who cares ? It was always a story about a boy wanting to be acknowledged and connected to this world.
Naruto was essentially a super hero genre. In the words of Plinkett, the protagonist is having kinda of a tough life or is down on his luck (so we can identify and care), then the drama happens, the hero has to overcome these obstacles and manages to triumph when all seemed lost. In the end, the protagonist succeeds and gets the girl as icing on the cake. its called an arc.
