Guys I just thought of something. If Kishi's been working on the movie for the past year or so, he had to know the ending in advance, so why all the NS hints and lack of character conclusions. Something must have changed recently right? What do you think he was thinking all this time?
Well if you want my opinion her it is:
Way back at the end of the Pain arc Kishi said he had the end all figured out, and he just had to get there. However years later he started working on "The Last" with SP, who are MAJOR Hinata fans. I think they talked him into making the movie, Part 3 and the Epilouge like this (obviously for money and merchandizing). Even it even though he agreed to it, he still wanted to write the story his way. So up until 698, he still wrote it the way had intended to from the Pain arc. Then for these last 44 pages he switched to SP's ending and changed it from a happy NS ending to a horrible, depressing NH/SS ending. That's why it seems so random, ridiculous, and OOC, because it is. It's not his intended end for the series, but he did it anyway for the money. There's more than enough proof for that with all the NS moments and Anti SS moments from the war. Literally within the last 5 chapters Kakashi's saying "Sakura's not trying or wanting to be yours!" and Sasuke's saying things like "I have no reason to like her" and "Naruto's my only friend, if I break my bond with him I'll be all alone.".
That's why I refuse to accept this as the actual end. I won't bash the characters or the series (I'll just bash Kishi instead), because I don't consider it canon. There's no way I'll let 2 chapters and a movie ruin a 15 year old, 698 chapter series.
The only things I'm looking forward to now are either Kishi making an alternate NS ending (highly unlikely) or at least coming out and admitting this wasn't how he planned it and explaining himself.
Until then, NS is still the only pairing in the series that makes sense, and NH/SS are still disgusting.
