Key notes:
“I will continue creating manga,” he said. “I will release extra ‘Naruto’ episodes next spring.”
“The latest film is a love story,” Kishimoto said. “It will depict what happened between the 699th and 700th manga episodes. I designed the characters and helped make the story.”

It’s 699.5
“Although I wanted to write about the romances of Naruto and his friends in the manga series, it was too difficult,” he continued. “I am not good at writing romances because I feel embarrassed when trying to do so.”
"Because I just completed the last episode less than 12 hours ago, I do not have any real feeling (that “Naruto” has ended). I have had to meet a deadline every week for 15 years, so I feel that there’s a deadline for next week. I thought of many things to do after (“Naruto”) ends, but I do not know where to begin. I want to do something other than manga. Don’t worry, I will continue creating manga."
Kishimoto is writing the new series in spring about the next generation.
The Last: It’s canon. Kishi approved. He literally says that it’s between 699 and 700, like we all thought… furthermore… it’s chapter 699.5.
On romance…. LMAO. That explains everything!
Oh look! Kishi says HE is the one who wrote the final chapters. DUH.
So yeah, to all you dumbasses that said Kishi didn’t write the last chapter, that he isn’t the one writing the new series in spring, that The Last isn’t canon, or that he changed his mind on the finale/was persuaded to change it… You are WRONG.
