Naruto is (finally) ending. Kishimoto could have ended it a few years ago (after the Naruto vs Pain fight) and nothing of importance would have been lost. He has been rehashing the same 2 or 3 concepts for years now.
OP is very long, this is true, we passed the half way line a few years ago when the manga was already more than 10 years old. It's slow, but it's clear it's more than a treasure hunt and I feel it's getting slowly to the point.

In the end, don't forget than in Japan, the mangakas are considered more as employees (of the publishing company) than artists and it's not really up to them to decide when to end their work. (although of course, they can't really be forced to continue.)
