Things have reached a point where I can finally say this 
While I am making myself late for work, I do have to input my own little opinion ahead of the storm that is to be coming.
The existence of "The Last," I believe, is proof that Kishimoto seriously had more grandiose ideas for the conclusion of the manga - perhaps even an entirely new 'arc' that could be considered "Part 3."
For those interested -
Exactly what happened, I'm not sure. I think it was a combination of exhaustion and the plot simply growing larger than the man writing it.
The ending, here, just felt horribly anti-climactic. There are massive parts of the story that are just not concluded - and I am not sure they will be properly resolved in the movie (which I am still looking forward to).
Perhaps they are to be explored in the mini-series that is supposed to follow with Naruto's kids. Or, perhaps it will simply be "the next generation" of Naruto character archetypes (which would be somewhat disappointing).
Either way, I will say that the ending was certainly better than what many 700-chapter long mangas end up becoming. It could have ended: "So long as my friends remain in the Infinite Tsukuyomi, I will search for a way to free them and bring peace upon the land." (deliberate stab at Inuyasha - yes, I am aware of the mini-series that actually gave it an ending, which was good).
Or it could have ended with: "Congratulations."
So, at least we got a conclusion in that regard.
Anyway - feel free to comment or whatever. I've got to go get yelled at.
