Coupled with the "final battle" promo image from TV Tokyo and the inclusion of music and artwork from the final arc in OST 3, this should be all the confirmation we need that the series proper will be ending this fall.

Not to mention that there are only 16 chapters left to adapt, which translates to about 8 episodes assuming they don't have any filler at all, but they'll probably extend the final battle with some additional correography, and perhaps insert a fillery clipshow episode before the battle starts. So, I'm still betting it'll end on Shippuden episode 480, since that'll be the 700th episode of Naruto.

Should be an announcement in next week's issue of Jump, at any rate.
