There's no real point in making a new anime series for just the novels. it's much easier to keep it all under the established Naruto Shippuden brand. Which is why i don't think the filler, uh, Anime will end anytime soon, they'll just create more stories.

Boruto the anime, if it ever gets to that, likely won't start until well into 2018 because else there's not much canon to adapt. I would expect Naruto Shippuden to transition to Boruto the same way Naruto and Naruto: shippuden did, with filler to kill the time.

ALso, i wouldn't mind seeing both The Last and Boruto as Anime episodes, especially if we see a bit more fleshed out story (for The Last, Boruto is fine as it is)
