The cause of the story was always bring Sasuke back, making him let go of his hatred and ending the curse of hatred and conflict between Senju and Uchiha. So this would have always been the most likely outcome. This is the worst idea,Kishimoto has ever made.

This can only work by Forneverworld theory, and only his theory!

I hope to god, no I pray to god/jesus that this will NOT be canon. It isn't Kishimoto's idea.

The anime company develops the plot for the story. Kishi helps advise them on character design. Beyond that, its all the anime company. Kishimoto is already credited as writer, same as Road to Ninja.

This is almost certainly canon, it's supposed to be the first post-manga / post-Shippuden step for the franchise. It's like Toriyama's new DBZ film series.
