You know, we say that Sakura, Hinata, and etc got butchered, and yes it is true, but I think Naruto probably got reworked the most. I mean, his entire life got changed in this movie.
1. Naruto's personality change
-Apparently he lied about his feelings the whole time
-He is no longer a hyper-active person. Yes we mature, but we never lose the better parts of our personality like that
-He is more selfish, jealous, and envious now.
-He easily gives up. When Hinata apparently fell in love with Toneri, he gave up thinking he could never have her and it took everyone else to tell him to go after her. This is to the contrary where no matter how many people told him to give up on Sasuke, he never wanted to or did.
-He no longer cares about other people...except for Hinata. Which is weird.
-He has gotten dumber, not smarter throughout the years.
-Used to treat Sasuke with the highest respect, now doesn't even bother. Sasuke who?
-Apparently clueless to what love really is...even though he promoted it constantly and always believed in that love
2. Naruto's past
-In the manga, grew up alone and said Sasuke was the first and only best friend he had. Now apparently Hinata was always there...so why was he "alone?" This is even more evident when, during the fight with Gaara, he tells him that he knows what it was like to be alone and treated as a monster.
-Met Hinata before anyone else, but never remembers her throughout the manga until sometime later
-Knew Shadow clones before he actually learned Shadow Clones. It was the only reason he failed the exams.
-Naruto and Sasuke were said to be the Sun and Moon respectfully...now apparently Hinata is the "moon"
-Naruto's journeys in the manga were all about either Hinata or a jealously rant.
Weird questions
-Since when did Hinata have this power and why the hell didn't Kaguya wanted it? If Toneri knew, then certainly Kaguya would know. Why Hinata at all? Apparently she is a descendant of a bloodline, but Hanabi apparently wasn't the descendant? Why not any other Hyuuga?
-Isn't Kaguya sealed in the moon? So why would blasting to the earth be the "solution?"
-Where was Toneri during the Kaguya incident? If his clan was in charge of sealing her, shouldn't he have shown up to help fight Kaguya and not Hagoromo?
-If Naruto was apparently always in love with Hinata...why wait so long to tell her? Why the awkward confession too with a manipulation of word play to confess?
-Why the hell was Hinata picked on as a child? She was from a renown family and a proud clan. How could anyone pick on her and how come no other Hyuuga got picked on for it either. That is probably the weirdest sentiment.
The more and more I think of it...the less and less this movie actually follows the manga.
