Thursday's back-to-back episode (476 and 477) of Naruto Shippuden just gave its fans one of the most epic anime battles in recent memory, with the two protagonists pouring on everything they've got in a showdown that shaped the course of history in Naruto Universe.
Next week, Naruto Shippuden is expected to unveil the conclusion of that battle along with the aftermath of the 4th Great Shinobi war.
Titled as 'Wakai no In' - the Unity Sign, it will serve as the 478th episode of Naruto Shippuden and 698th all in all, including the original Naruto series.
The source material for the upcoming episode will be chapter 699 "the Seal of Reconciliation" of the Naruto Shippuden manga series.
Here are the 3 things to look forward to next Thursday, October 6th:
Sasuke's decision - 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?
Shattering 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.
