Naruto Shippuden's series director Hayato Date said briefly as follows:

"When the Fourth Ninja War started by TV, I never thought of how far Kishimoto's manga continues for. As I have mentioned, TV cannot overtake manga episode, It requires a TV original episodes (aka filler). I asked Kishimoto many questions about the Kaguya/Indra/Asura arc too. When Kaguya/Indra/Asura arc is over, Naruto come back for the manga episode. It was a long way for 14 years.... The work has not been finished yet. But successive episode directors come back at the last chapters. Don't miss it!!"
