According to this post, there's going to be a double chapter for Naruto and lead color pages and cover, can't say how valid this source is, but if it's true it's pretty nice:

In my opinion, the manga should have ended with NaruHina. Even though I not a big fan of the pairing, it would actually have been quite a bummer if it didn't happen in canon.
Why the hell did Kishimoto create the kids though? I mean, it just squeezes any other alternate possibilities that the fandom might like to imagine! Say bye bye to new fanfiction stories with alternate pairings if, god forbade, a new series called Baruto starts up.
There is a large part of the fandom, the ones who have actually invested time on this thing rather than just get all jizzed up over NaruHina, who don't like the pairings. I think that Kishimoto should have just left the rest to the fans' imagination.
I mean this very kindly when I say, who the hell cares about the fanfiction aspects? Most writers (some more than others), despise fan fiction as terrible disrespect of their work, so I don't think Kishimoto is sitting around worrying about those of us who write fan fiction. And frankly, if your world is turned upside down by a fictional pairing, you need psychiatric help.
The fan base matters very little here, as far as considerations for an ending go. This is how Kishi decided his manga should end, so he did.
Interestingly. Eiichiro Oda, the author of One Piece manga honors Naruto and Masashi Kishimoto for his series ending in today's chapter cover of One Piece according to the spoilers.
Respect... :)
I think the biggest problem of the pictures is how horrible the children look. They look lazily drawn and pretty much just combo of parents. The only one acceptable is Sasuke's child, who for some reason look more like Karin's child (could it be...) Most new designs are pretty meh and some are horrible. Konohamaru looks cool though, hope he gets a better voice. To top it off, Sakura, love her or hate her, ends up as an extremely stereotypical character who apparently still cares for Sasuke even after he put her in an illusion where he KILLS her... Overall it has some good results, just the flaws are waaaayyyy too big to make this a good ending.
And I will now ban anyone talking about fictional pairings from this point onwards, take it somewhere else and stop talking about them here.

@Sajuuk, let me just respond this. @Vandir, are you serious? Speak for yourself please, there are dozens of reason for why I'm disappointed with the series and ink intercourse isn't one of them. I'm just disappointed (if the leaks are true of course) that the last two chapters are wasted on "fanservice" rather than something meaningful.

I love you.
@Elveonora Everything I've read so far about peoples problems with the ending has been anger over pairings. I didn't mean to imply that that's what everyone was mad about, which is why I said in my post "At least not entirely". I apologize if it seemed like I was implying that that's what everyone was upset about.
Reading the chapter, it's actually better than I thought it would be. Hopefully chapter 700 isn't what the leaks imply.
