The Last Naruto The Movie was hailed as Chapter 699.5 meaning it was a continuation of the manga not the anime and we did see SPSM in the manga. Besides, it was a movie - they were not having a shortage in neither animators nor budget and could have easily animated SPSM without prior basis.

And don't underestimate Naruto in regards to him not being able to get close enough to Obito to take out his chakra. He can have his clones travel through Kurama's chakra arms and he is incredibly resourceful as 700 canon manga chapters and two canon movies have proved.
