History Awesome / TheLastNarutoTheMovie

** Although she has waited almost her entire life for Naruto to reciprocate her love, she chooses to "reject" him to deal with Toneri and rescue Hanabi by herself. While she clearly regrets hurting Naruto, doing this proves that she has a strong will to not readily accept the happiness that he offers her and that she has her priorities sorted out regarding who's more important to her (choosing her younger sister over the man she loves), and that [[UndyingLoyalty she's loyal to her family]], regardless of how badly they treated her throughout her childhood until the Chunin Exams arc.

** In the novelization, Hinata repeats her nindo and Naruto's to prepare herself to carry out saving the world on her own as she knows that failing to do so would make "rejecting" Naruto's love confession and hurting his feelings meaningless.

*** Using the Tenseigan, Toneri ''cuts the fucking moon in half!'', hitting Naruto clean with it (counts as CMOA for Toneri himself). [[NoSell Naruto emerges unscathed]].

*** Toneri creates a giant blade of chakra that cleaves the moon in half, and hits Naruto clean with it. [[NoSell Naruto emerges unscathed]].

* This movie earned [[http://forceupdatedfoodchef.tumblr.com/post/104555620533/the-last-naruto-the-movie-earned-1-47-billion-yen 1.47 billion yen by 3 PM opening day!]][[note]]That's equivalent to over 12 million US dollars[[/note]] It's the highest grossing Naruto film to date!
** It did '''so''' well that Viz Media and Eleven Arts actually released the movie ''subbed'' on February 20th, 2015, ''only two months after it was released in Japan''! That is at least six months before anyone in the US was expecting to see the movie! Even in limited release (only 21 theaters), having a subtitled anime air in US theaters ''at all'' is astonishing.
** ''The Last'' has become the [[http://naruhina-headcanon.tumblr.com/post/107842606671/annalovesfiction-hey highest grossing]] ''Naruto'' movie.
* Also counts as a SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment|s}}.

** And the awesome factor is ramped UpToEleven by the sequence being set to a beautiful rendition of "What Child Is This" a la "Greensleeves", which is appropriate for Naruto's status as TheChosenOne and because he was a nameless orphan to much of the village for his entire childhood.

** Any time Naruto throws a Rasenshuriken, now without clones OR ascending.

** His CombinationAttack with Hinata, which looks a lot like their Team Ultimate Jutsu in ''VideoGame/NarutoShippudenUltimateNinjaStormRevolution''.
** [[CockFight His battle against Toneri]] on the moon. That he wins.

** It gets even better: Immediately after doing all this, the others make surprised comments that the meteor]] is just gone, as if they saw nothing. That's right, Sasuke moved so fast, destroyed the meteor, said his only line]], then promptly disappeared, ''all in less than the space of time it takes to blink''.

** Shikamaru now has enough chakra and control to not only hold several people with his shadow technique, but control them as well.

* The [[http://honyakusha-eri.tumblr.com novel]] gives several secondary characters some pretty awesome moments:

** Teuchi goes to work, and prepares ramen in the middle of the disasters that befall Konoha due to the moon falling. He believes the future will survive and wants to be ready for him.
** Kiba and Shino are with him and are so touched by him that they deflect a freaking meteor in order to protect him!

** The way he frees Hinata [[spoiler:from Toneri's mind-control]] [[WouldntHitAGirl without harming her]] is very impressive.
** His CombinationAttack with [[spoiler:Hinata]], which looks a lot like their Team Ultimate Jutsu in ''VideoGame/NarutoShippudenUltimateNinjaStormRevolution''.
** [[CockFight His battle against Toneri]] [[spoiler:on the moon. That he wins]].
*** The whole fight shows that [[spoiler:despite Toneri having the Tenseigan]], Naruto's skill coming from years of battle experience gives him the edge.
*** It ends with Naruto [[spoiler:landing a powerful chakra-imbued punch so hard that he makes a new crater, forces Toneri out of his enhanced power mode and reverts the Tenseigan back into Hanabi's Byakugan]].
** He ''finally'' gets to live a happy life with [[OneTrueLove the woman he loves, who's always loved him unconditionally]]: [[spoiler:Hinata Hyuga]].

** She becomes [[spoiler:the Byakugan Princess, the only one who can destroy his Tenseigan Core orb, which pushes the moon towards the earth and is the source of Toneri's strength]].
** After she gets her vision in the ruins, she comes up with a plan to [[spoiler:infiltrate Toneri's base, destroy his Tenseigan Core orb, and rescue Hanabi by herself]].
** Although she has waited almost her entire life for Naruto to reciprocate her love, [[spoiler:she chooses to "reject" him to deal with Toneri and save Hanabi by herself]]. Doing this proves that she has a strong will to not readily accept the happiness that [[spoiler:Naruto]] offers her, that she has her priorities sorted out regarding who's more important to her (choosing [[spoiler:her younger sister over the man she loves]]), and that she's [[UndyingLoyalty loyal]] to [[spoiler:her family, regardless of how badly they treated her throughout her childhood until the Chunin Exams arc]].
** She manages to fool Toneri long enough for [[spoiler:Naruto to recover from his chakra drain/deep depression and initiate her and Hanabi's rescue with the others]].
** She's shown to be [[LadyOfWar a very capable martial artist]], holding her own against Toneri's puppets, the very same ones that gave ''her father'' trouble earlier in the film, [[spoiler:until Toneri himself arrives]].
** She tells off Toneri [[spoiler:when she's caught trying to destroy the Tenseigan core]]. Although she was unsuccessful, it shows [[CharacterDevelopment how much her character has progressed]] from the ShrinkingViolet that she was for a large part of the manga.
** When she finds out that [[spoiler:her strength alone isn't enough to destroy the Tenseigan Core orb]], she manages to combine [[spoiler:her Eight Trigrams Twin Lions Crumbling Attack containing Hamura Otsutsuki's chakra with Naruto's Rasengan]], which creates an attack powerful enough to total it.
** She personally [[spoiler:retrieves Hanabi's stolen eyes ''by ripping them from Toneri's own eye sockets'']].
** She successfully [[spoiler:protects Naruto from Toneri's final attack]] by holding his hand and [[spoiler:sharing Hamura Otsutsuki's chakra]] ''immediately''. This is especially impressive considering it took [[WorldsStrongestMan Naruto]] some time to learn how to share Kurama's chakra with his comrades.
** Her unwavering love for Naruto [[spoiler:is wholeheartedly realized and reciprocated, and she and Naruto ''finally'' become a couple]].

** She successfully [[spoiler:heals Naruto after a complete and nearly fatal chakra drain, and she manages to snap Naruto out of his deep depression]].

* Kurama gets a small role as support by battling the Ootsutsuki Statue. [[spoiler:However, he then indirectly causes Toneri's final defeat by blasting the statue into orbit with a Tailed Beast Bomb, with the statue reassembling and falling through the moon, eventually colliding into Toneri]].

* Despite her relatively short screen time, Ino has taken up [[spoiler:her father's role of telepathic communication and relaying messages on behalf of Kakashi for the shinobi world]].

* Every time Sasuke's on screen, but the most notable is when [[spoiler:an especially huge chunk of the moon is hurtling towards Konoha. Rock Lee and co have managed to disintegrate half of it, yet it still continues to fall. Its path is right where Kakashi stands, watching over the efforts of the remaining ninja. Kakashi looks grimly set to accept his fate, until a familiar chirping-bird jutsu causes it to shatter. Amidst the smoke, Sasuke turns and speaks his only line in the entire film, leaving a stunned Kakashi and an injured Hiashi]].
-->'''Sasuke:''' [[spoiler:"If HE is not here, then the only one who can protect the village...is ME!"]]
** It gets even better: Immediately after doing all this, the others make surprised comments that [[spoiler:the meteor]] is just gone, as if they saw nothing. That's right, [[spoiler:Sasuke moved so fast, destroyed the meteor, said his only line]], then promptly disappeared, ''all in less than the space of time it takes to blink''. %%- The only reason Kakashi saw this at all was because he's just that good.

** Shikamaru now has enough chakra and control to [[spoiler:not only hold several people with his shadow technique, but control them as well]].
* Gaara using all the sand he can to [[spoiler:protect Suna from the meteors]], Temari and Kankuro by his side.
* Hamura [[spoiler:giving Hinata his chakra and the true celestial decree]].
* Shikamaru giving a WhatTheHellHero speech to Naruto. Yes, Naruto [[spoiler:got his heart broken, but Shikamaru was in the definite right in calling out his friend for uncharacteristically ''giving up'' when the world needs him]]. He then takes Naruto to [[spoiler:Sakura, who gives him an important pep-talk regarding Hinata by relating that Hinata's unwavering love for him is ''identical'' to her own unwavering love for Sasuke, which helps him get out of his depression]].
* One for the villain: using the Tenseigan, Toneri ''[[spoiler:cuts the fucking moon in half]]!''

* The Last: Naruto the Movie earned [[http://forceupdatedfoodchef.tumblr.com/post/104555620533/the-last-naruto-the-movie-earned-1-47-billion-yen 1.47 billion yen by 3 PM opening day!]][[note]]That's equivalent to over 12 million US dollars[[/note]] It's the highest grossing Naruto film to date!
