Trivia

 * By some interpretations of this ending Sasuke was essentially known as the "fallen leaf" ninja when he left the village. Sakura is shown catching a falling leaf with Naruto walking away from her. It seems that Naruto is giving Sakura that leaf as a metaphor of bringing Sasuke back.
 * In the last part of the ending, there is a poster on the wall at Sakura's room written "一生愛の人生よ (Isshō ai no jinsei yo)" meaning "Always a life of love" or "A life with love throughout".
