Well, that`s your opinion, not mine

In volum 47(the latest one) he wrote:
"The development towards the finale having been settled, i am drawing full steam ahead! Please continue reading Naruto until the end!" - Masashi Kishimoto, 2009.
The way you said rushing to the end, like the end will be any minutte now and that it`s not taking it good enough time to make the remaining part good, only rushing through it, seemed wrong to me.
It may be close, but Naruto manga will probably be around for at least 80-120 chapters more(around 2 years). That`s what i believe,
What i also believe is that Kishi wants us to think that it`s close to the end, when it`s not for some reason. I just got the feeling.
And one more thing(that seems unlikely if you read the whole input), is that volum 47 is close to the end of the Pain arc, so Volum 48 will probably conclude it with the final(Nagato reviving the one he killed and the beginning of the Kage Summit arc). Maybe that`s what he meant with the first line.
Then again if you read the second (and last) line, it looks like Naruto is closing to the end.
But that could also be his way of concluding the year with the finale volum of 2009 and make sure the fans look forward to the next year(2010, present).
But who knows, only time will tell
