Especially if it may have 51 chapters, as FF-Suzaku predicts (and do any of you know how accurate his prediction may be?). Thanks everyone! :D It really is just a prediction, based on the average length of tankobon volumes. If 699 is only 17 pages, the tankobon will be 34 pages shy since it'll have two fewer chapters than the rest. Jumbo-sized finales are also relatively common, and 51 pages is a nice, round number with room for the usual three lead color pages and so on.

I think there is also a reasonable chance that there will be a movie tie-in oneshot in December, which could well take the shape of an epilogue, or maybe even be labeled chapter "Number 700." If that were to be the case, it could be collected in the tankobon and 699 may instead clock in closer to 34 pages. Or they may go the Road to Ninja route and release a matching companion book with volume 71, which is coming out next month.

Alternatively, the tankobon could have other bonus omake features, an extra chapter, or whatever. That's really not something this series is especially known for, though.

Honestly, there are a whole lot of ways it could go down, and I expect there to be plenty of information in the next issue of Jump. There's sure to be a ton of merchandise to go along with the anniversary/film/finale, so let's just wait and see.
