No, Naruto isn't over just yet, but it's probably very close.

Naruto vol. 70 is chapters #669-#679, vol. 71 will be #680-#690 (the entire fight with Kaguya).

Each volume is approx. 187 pages (11 chapters).

If the series is indeed on the verge of ending, it will almost certainly be with chapter #700 (Nov. 3), and it'll likely be a special 45~ page finale. That would make vol. 72 the final volume, with about 215 pages remaining to tie up lose ends. It'll also be the last chance to end the series during its 15th anniversary.

In my opinion, this seems by far the most likely scenario, assuming Kishimoto is ready to end things here. There are just too many meangingful things coming together: Naruto's birthday/#700/Vol.72/15th Anniversary/The Last: Naruto the Movie is pretty much the perfect storm for a finale.

There's also a pretty good chance that Kishimoto will do a special tie-in chapter for The Last in the December 1 issue of Weekly Shonen Jump, like he did with Road to Naruto the Movie.
