Honestly, I didn't see the ending as a Team 7 one. It seemed to be another of the endless Sasuke x Naruto ones with Sakura thrown in at the end. I would have preferred ALL of them fighting together from the start.
Surprised by the amount of characters in this filler arc. They certainly splurged on the voice acting. Even Tenten had a line. And it dealt with village politics, which Kishi only really brushed on.
This arc was probably done by SP after knew the ending and The Last. Notice how upfront they were with the ShikaTema flirting in the episode.
