Either way, given with what I've been hearing everywhere, I do think we are definitely getting an extended final chapter... Kishimoto: "Free time? What's it? A rare Pokèmon?" First of all, very funny- Pokemon! XD

Second, yes, free time. Despite how busy he is, he does have free time where he spends his time doing something else other than drawing the manga. And since it is so close to ending, it wouldn't surprise me if he was focusing all that free time on giving his story the best possible ending he can give it in the manga. Also, remember he did have a full week off after 692- I'd like to think he was doing something productive instead of taking a full week off...
