I'll be the first to point out that Naruto isn't the first anime to have content after its end. Full Metal Alchemist had a movie that was chronologically after its manga events. Non-canon. Dragon Ball Z had an entire sleuth of movies (only two of which were canon [one isn't even out yet], and only declared as such by the mangaka himself prior to the movies' releases) and a brand new series spawned after manga events: Non-canon. Inuyasha, I believe, had a similar situation.

So yes, just because The Last takes place after Kishimoto's manga ends, means jack diddly squat. Unless Kishimoto himself confirms it to be canon, its about as canon as the pile of leaves I just swept off my porch. Furthermore, anyone who actually believes that Kishimoto would spoil the highly anticipated battle between Naruto and Sasuke, for a movie, needs to immediately up their medication.

@Windstar: I'm well, thanks.
