Yeah, it wasn't colored. Though I wasn't expecting it to be anyways...

On the matter of the "additional pages", I'd be lying if I said I am not extremely disappointed. While the new drawings of Naruto and Sasuke look magnificent (can't say the same for the one extra panel of Hinata- that was an absolute waste), there were so many opportunities to do something worthwhile. For example, he could have added two more pages to the fight, added closure to characters who didn't get it at the end (like Orochimaru, Kabuto, and Taka), or just added something more to the ending as a whole. I wasn't expecting anything mind blowing from these two panels, but this was just a complete tease. There was no need for him to even mention it at Jump Festa.
