Thanks for the compliment, Kirin-san. It's a pleasure :)
 * You're right about that and I can't agree more, and hopefully all of them depends on the studio plans.
 * Good choice by the way and that adds some good predictions for involving some fillers in this fight.
 * Date claims that before more than two months ago (End of 2014) by answering a twitter follower's question regarding that issue. The reason is that Wakayabashi is a talented freelancer that works a lot in the anime industry. He do one thing (storyboard, key animation, directing...etc) for only one Naruto episode every year, we didn't see him in 2014 at all. Even he didn't contribute in The Last movie. Bringing him back causes a lot of money and working periods to pay for him which Date seems hasn't plan to bring him soon.
 * Just predicting something different, I don't know how to explain that but hopefully it'll be optimistic :)
