1. Kishi& #39;s Role: Since it& #39;s 2020 and people still think it& #39;s filler and/or undermine Kishi& #39;s involvement in the movie.
Kishi& #39;s name is the first one that appears in the credits. Detailing his roles of character designs & story supervision. Self-explanatory but the English version will appear in the dubbed version & Japanese in the subbed version.
Vocal confirmation Kishi himself. He had the writers rewrite the script so much that they became annoyed with him.

The movie is connected to the manga as much as possible & it& #39;s the first one he worked on that was about romantic love (恋愛 - ren& #39;ai). Here are some translations. https://gabzilla-z.tumblr.com/post/118793399284/kishimoto-literally-said-its-canon-eh-really

Before I move on, I just want to point out that I& #39;ve already shown credible sources that the movie is canon. There are some people that believe it& #39;s filler now since the novelization came out. The novel doesn& #39;t have the same approval from Kishi unlike the movie.
While the novelization is good for adding details that the screenwriter wanted to make sure stands out. The movie takes precedence for being the canon material if the novel contradicts it. So that means the movie scene where Hinata replenishes Naruto& #39;s chakra is canon!
Organic Dinosaur cleared up a mistranslation circulating on Tumblr that was saying NH was SP& #39;s idea & Kishi wasn& #39;t devoted to it. Here is her full breakdown of the interview & the condensed version. https://www.reddit.com/r/Naruto/comments/2q0kcx/clarifying_translations_another_erroneous/">https://www.reddit.com/r/Naruto/...
Kishi stated in another interview that he was happy the romantic parts in the movie could be seen even if it wasn& #39;t written by him.

My next point which is about Road to Ninja. The theme of it was family NOT romance. Even though Kishi was involved in both films RTN isn& #39;t canon unlike The Last. Here is a concise post from Rieriebee on Tumblr about this topic. https://rieriebee.tumblr.com/post/101528843160/road-to-ninja-vs-the-last">https://rieriebee.tumblr.com/post/1015...
However I& #39;ll be adding more information to this. Here are the RTN credits. And here is an interview where Kishi highlights the differences in his roles for both movies.

Kishi& #39;s promotional statement for RTN stated this & here& #39;s the Youtube video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rY5qPFsdp80">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
Onto even more stuff Kishi did for the Last. The scarf was his own idea he brought up to the staff. Here is the Youtube link (the dialogue starts at 4:25). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDycTj1Kii0">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
He insisted to have the 2 year time skip because he wanted to make sure Naruto & Hinata were over 18 before they ended up together. https://www.reddit.com/r/Naruto/comments/2q0kcx/clarifying_translations_another_erroneous/">https://www.reddit.com/r/Naruto/...
He picked out his favorite scenes which were Hinata rejecting Naruto and Naruto and Sakura recognizing they are not mutually romantically interested in each other. https://www.reddit.com/r/Naruto/comments/2qk7s8/translation_mildly_scandalous_kishimoto_interview/">https://www.reddit.com/r/Naruto/...
He made a guidebook called Retsu no Sho exclusively for the Last. It includes character designs, 2 extra manga pages, & the Uzumaki Pure Love Scroll (see below).
