In a recent interview on the Japanese program Sakiyomi Jan Bang!, broadcast by TV Tokyo , the author of Naruto, Masashi Kishimoto, spoke again about the ending of the manga .

Kishimoto left a message for the fans and once again stated that the series is in its "final stretch." Here are his words:
“The battle between Naruto and his friends is in its final stretch, in the literal sense of the word. The story of Juubi, Madara, and why not, Sasuke's. I will continue to increase the tension without any restraint and in every way I can. Please continue following the story of this boy named Naruto a little longer. I would greatly appreciate it”.
No one knows how long these battles will last, but fans should keep an eye out for a possible conclusion approaching, based on the author's words, who likely already has the ending planned.
