It looks like the upcoming celebration in Konoha, the Naruto and Hinata wedding will need more than a one-hour episode. "Naruto Shippuden" episodes 496, 497 and 498 will continue the anime adaptation for "Konoha Gaiden: The Perfect Day for a Wedding."
"Naruto Shippuden" episodes 494 and 495 will be a one-hour special episode featuring the part 1 and 2 of "Konoha Gaiden: The Perfect Day for a Wedding." The current Hokage, Kakashi, will assign a wedding mission so all of Naruto and Hinata's friends can attend the wedding -- that is finding the best wedding gift for the two. Episodes 494 and 495 might focus on Rock Lee, Guy, Tenten and Hinata's previous team, Team 8.
"Naruto Shippuden" episode 496 will focus on Shikamaru and Temari and as well as Sakura and Ino. Shikamaru intends to ask Temari on his opinion of his wedding gift for Naruto and Hinata, a honeymoon in the hot springs. The two will visit the site and Temari misunderstands that Shikamaru is planning for their own honeymoon. Meanwhile, rivals Sakura and Ino will fight for a potential gift they found at a store, a picture frame. The two will grab the item at the same time and none of them will end up buying the frame. They will end up having a competition on making food pills. "Naruto Shippuden" episode 496 will air on Feb. 23 according to Otaku Vines.
Meanwhile, "Naruto Shippuden" episode 497 airing on March 2 will focus on the fifth Kazekage, Gaara, congratulating Hinata and Naruto. "Naruto Shippuden" episode 498 airing on March 9 will focus on the wedding ceremony itself which is held under the Hokage rock. Yamato almost did all the work in the preparations. Will the ceremony go well? Choji is planning how he can eat all the food while Tenten is giving Lee and Guy a lecture on how to behave on weddings.
With the conclusion of "Naruto Shippuden," "Boruto: Naruto the Next Generation" anime is scheduled to air in April. However, reports reveal the series will start with an original arc written by Masashi Kishimoto. It was revealed that the first few episodes will feature some light stories before going to the darker arc in the manga and movie.
