This chapter has been a long time coming. After a few weeks on break, Kishimoto has this show back on track. We got a decent show of Kaguya as a villain. She's brought of the Juubi. This chapter did a few things.
1) We got some good old-fashioned Team 7 beatdown. Kakashi really shined here, immediately making near optimal use of Kamui's dual versions and actually doing something even Obito could never do -- canceling another ST jutsu immediately. Even Sakura got some development here. We got a real Kakashi smile, which is also nice and rare.
2) Kaguya's (hopefully) toast. Honestly, Kishimoto. Please do not asspull on this. We don't need another history lesson from S06P or 2 chapters explaining Black Zetsu's mommy issues. We don't need a compelling TNJ by Naruto about how Kaguya isn't really evil. We don't need a huge villain monologue, or justification. Kaguya was by far the least compelling villain in this series, she was not at all half the villain Uchiha Madara or Obito were. She had no development, and she was not even human. Please just let her die Enough said on this one, I doubt many people think we need more screentime for Kaguya, the mute antivillain.
3) Spoiler there at the end. The manga ends this year. That leaves room, maybe, for another 12 chapters. The manga will end at chapter 700, guys. I know nobody wants to hear that, but it's the truth. Kaguya is dead. It isn't a Kishimoto trick. We'll resolve Naruto vs. Sasuke and the epilogue in the next few chapters.
4) The war arc is probably over now, unless Madara is still somehow alive. Frankly, I think we'll get a brief Madara return followed by him being legitimately beaten by Sauce/Naruto. Then we'll get a Sauce/Naruto, a hokage coronation and then some juicy epilogue.
Let's put this series to bed, IMO. Great chapter.
EDIT:
For those doubting this is the end. There is no point in this series where Team 7 working together has failed to take down a villain. So for people accusing me of not paying attention, I say read the manga again. Naruto + Sauce teamwork is implied to be greater than all. It's what stopped Juubito and would have stopped Madara, until he got 'beaten' by BZ.
