See, here's the thing. We don't know what the hell is going to be in the movie. We know that it is maybe, probably canon. Just because it expands past the canon timeline doesn't make it canon, itself, though, so again, we don't know. Secondly, we don't know the plot of it.

Kishi said three things remained to discuss in the manga:
 * 1) About the Ten-Tails.
 * 2) Of Madara.
 * 3) And, finally, dealing with Sasuke.

The first two marks are done. Madara is finished now that his Infinite Tsukuyomi, which brought about Kaguya's return, has failed and Team 7 has saved the world. All that is left now is to deal with Sasuke (likely in the long awaited Naruto vs Sasuke format), the plot to be brought to an end and then its done.

As to the movie: I don't know why people insist that it will be the true end of the series, but just because it is named The Last doesn't mean its the last Naruto movie, nor does it mean that it contains the ending of the canon series. It, actually, is likely neither of those and the title "The Last" refers to a plot point in the movie. Very insightful, TTF. Thank you for giving your take on the situation. I also don't know why everyone believes that "The Last" will be the end of the series. After all, it was stated that the new movie is just the first installment of "Naruto's New Era Opening Project." Therefore, that could mean that the series may not end as soon as we think it will. Whether that is a good thing or a bad thing- I'm not entirely sure.

Anyways, let's get back to the subject. Would you prefer that the fight be in the manga over the movie? Do you even want to see a fight between the two? Finally, if they do fight, what do you want to see from the battle? Let me know!
