In a battle that neither Naruto nor Sasuke won, a ghost from yesterday comes back to finally unify two kindred spirits torn by the dysfunctional shinobi system and the fury of vengeance.
Notes for Episode 478:
-This episode is titled Hakai no in or Unity Sign. It will be the 698th episode of the entire Naruto anime series (including the original Naruto series).
-Synopsis of the story will be all about Sasuke and Naruto as they try to reclaim their humanity after their battle in the Valley of the End. Itachi, the man that links the two young shinobi together, will be making his appearance in this episode.
-Story material of the episode will likely be based on chapter 699 of Masashi Kishimoto's Naruto Shippuden series, although animator might have added non-cannon scenes to this episode.
What to Expect in Hakai no In:
Resolution - Revolution was what Sasuke wanted right from the beginning, a world where shinobi countries and kyuubis are not existent and him standing atop as the Hokage who rules them all.
But after exchanging blows and feelings with his closest friend, will the outcome of the battle change his mindset and start embracing Naruto's dream of a peaceful shinobi world?
Ending the Infinite Dream - Before he turned into the vessel of Kaguya Otsutsuki, Madara casted a powerful jutsu that would trap everyone in a never-ending loop within the divine tree - the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
The Sage of Six Paths made it a point that only Naruto and Sasuke can rescind the seal and free every man from their slumber. Arguably the highlight of the episode, this will be the moment when Naruto and Sasuke finally unite as one.
Sasuke begins new journey - In order to rebuild himself, Sasuke will be making a decision that will help him in the long run. The Uchiha will have to leave his friends and set on a journey that will bring his hearty closer to the place where it all started - Konoha. By the way, if you are a fan of Sasuke-Sakura romance, then there's no reason to miss this episode.
