I think it's pretty obvious they gathered in a bar and had a drink to celebrate the couple of years of calmness, quietness and peace they will finally experience for the first time now that Naruto will be travelling. Well, everyone except for Hinata who needed to have one last look, and Lee who will get his drink only after the rest have already left the premises.

But I have to say the beginning part was one of the most anticlimactic fight endings ever. The dude was supposed to be the ultimate weapon of the whatever village it was, and all it took to defeat him was one thrown spear. Way to go...

The second part was uber cheesy, but I liked it well nonetheless. It had some good lines, and the atmosphere was generally suitable to make it feel like Naruto finally leaves, the fillers end, and everything goes back to the way it's supposed to be.
