"The Last: Naruto the Movie" holds the toughest battle as the Konoha's -- Hidden Leaf Village -- best ninja concludes his journey. What to expect on the highly anticipated manga?

Masashi Kishimoto, the creator of the Japanese comic, announced the ending of his protagonist's story arc. "The battle of Naruto and his comrades is in its final phase, in the truest sense of the term," he said during the 2012 Jump Festa event.

Furthermore, he teased that the plot would establish the history of several antagonists. This includes Madara, Sasuke, who is Naruto's former childhood friend, and the milieu of the ten-tailed beast. Basically, the beast was created by the Shinju together with Kaguya Otsutsuki, known as the Demonic Rabbit Goddess.

"About the Ten Tails, about Madara, and then, about Sasuke...I will continue to raise the tension without restraint, in every way I can! Please follow this story of a boy named Naruto a little while longer, I will greatly appreciate it."

Although any have been wondering if the latest manga -- concerning Chapter 600 to 700 -- would be featured on the said film, Kishimoto has not revealed any of the spoilers just yet.

However, the latest update from the manga, Chapter 695 entitled "Naruto versus Sasuke", the aspiring Hokage is in full strength to battle the Uchiha member. Currently, Sasuke is in the hopes to win against the Uzumaki with his immortality, which he addressed due to the fact that he already had the Rinnegan and the Sharingan together. Naruto, consequently, keeps on breathing to win one of his greatest battles by the use of the beast inside him.

The beast sends him all the chakras it has stored for a long period of time. This keeps him reminded about his childhood aspiration to beat Sasuke on a battle. He, then, uses his shadow clone jutsu forming not one, but two Demon Fox Rasengan. Meanwhile, Naruto seems to be holding back again. Stay tuned for more latest news about the manga.
