at the start of the show kish said he wasnt sure if hed be there next year.
then at one point in the show, when the voice actors told that kish should try voice acting next year for a change, kish said in that case he would definitely skip the next jump festa.
so, forget about the 'within a year' thing. Some of the audience took the first comment that way, because kish always says the end is near and this time as well, at the end of the show kish said that "Naruto(manga) has reached to the stage to move towards resolution. it's drawing closer to the end. I will try to make the windup well convincing to the readers"
the fact is, sure its ending and heven knows when.
ill add more from reliable reports.
