Well, they kinda sorta can't do that without Naruto there to appease everyone. We saw what happened in the Five Kage Summit Arc; if it weren't for Naruto, Team 7 would be extinct. I have a feeling Kakashi will just be staying at Konoha before coming to assist Naruto and co., while Sasuke will be a villain before coming to also assist Naruto.

Elaborating on this, let's focus back on the quotes on those tickets. Kakashi's was about Naruto definitely succeeding on his mission. I have a feeling he is saying this to someone like Tsunade or Konohamaru, or just someone who is staying at the village and is worried. For Sasuke's quote about how he will definitely protect someone while he's out, the "someone" has gotta be Naruto. As for the addressed, I think it's Sakura. Sakura will probably be trying to heal the knocked-out Naruto per usual, and Sasuke encourages her to go on the battlefield. I have no idea who Naruto's is for; it could be Sasuke, Sakura, Hinata, Kakashi, even Konohamaru. I then found it weird that Sakura's wasn't a quote from her in the film, but rather Yamato's quote about her feelings for Naruto in the Sai and Sasuke Arc.
