After Team 7's epic battle against Madara, the tear-jerking reunion of Rin and Obito, the bravery and unwavering loyalty of Kakashi, and the near-impossible fight against Kaguya, fans thought that that's the end of the anime legend "Naruto Shippuden." But it seems that Masashi Kishimoto has other ideas.
"Naruto Shippuden" is far from done. With only a five-second breather, the author of "Naruto" brings fans to one final battle to cap off the series and bring it to a full circle. In "Naruto Shippuden" episode 476 and 477, Sasuke and Naruto face off in a fist and heart battle to discover what the title of Hokage means.
Airing on September 29, "Naruto Shippuden" episode 476 and 477 will be a one-hour special to satiate the hunger of the fans after being deprived of an episode this week to make way for "Pokemon XY&Z," according to Parent Herald.
