'Naruto Shippuden' episode 480 spoilers: Anime series to feature flashback arc, Naruto and Hinata's love story

(Facebook/Naruto)"Naruto Shippuden" will feature flashback episodes after the epic battle between Naruto and Sasuke.

After featuring Naruto and Sasuke in their most epic battle on "Naruto Shippuden" episodes 476 and 477, many people thought that the beloved anime series would already take a bow. However, many people were proven wrong as the anime is slated to show more episodes that will feature a flashback arc and the love story of Naruto and Hinata. 

According to reports, "Naruto Shippuden" episode 480 will begin airing flashback episodes that will employ a flashback story arc as well. Allegedly, the story arc will feature many events in the anime that were never seen before, such as Kakashi becoming a Hokage and the love story of Sakura and Sasuke.

It is also said that future episodes of "Naruto Shippuden" will feature the manga version of the Boyhood story arc, although it will not be fully explored as the anime series will focus on the aforementioned events.

On the other hand, some sources claim that "Naruto Shippuden" episode 480 will focus on the love story of Naruto and Hinata, who, in the future, becomes his wife and the mother of his son, Boruto. Allegedly, the episode will initially cast a spotlight on Naruto, while the latter part of the episode will be about Hinata.

Reportedly, episode 480 will also feature the story of the young Naruto, who was still clueless of his skills and powers. While Naruto is training in the forest alone when the Nine Tail-Fox was still trapped inside him, someone will appear, and it is expected to be Hinata.

Avid "Naruto" fans know too well that Naruto and Hinata eventually became a couple in the manga version of the character. In fact, their son Boruto even has its own manga title, "Boruto: Naruto Next Generations," with its current chapter, chapter 5, features Naruto and Sasuke battling two Otsutsukis — Momoshiki and Kinshiki.

"Naruto Shippuden" episode 480 airs tonight, Oct. 20, at 6:30 p.m. JST on TV Tokyo.
