If the fight between Naruto and Sasuke is as disappointing in the anime as it was in the manga, then I'm ready to see the material in between chapters 699 and 700. I know, it was so disconcerting and annoying as it just looked like Kurama was dumbly showing his fist for no reason.

Kishi made the right call with that fight, by that point we'd already seen what the two had in terms of power and technique in the Kaguya fight so he just went for hands down brawl which was simple, quick yet innovative and powerful. The anime will probably hopefully do the same except with lazy animation...and flashbacks...and then more flashbacks...then back to the fight for 5 secs...and more flashbacks.
