'Naruto Shippuden' episode 478 spoilers: Naruto and Sasuke reconcile after epic battle; what happens next?

"Naruto Shippuden" will be airing two more episodes following this week's installment and it looks like things are only getting better for Naruto and Sasuke from here on out.

In the episode titled "The Seal of Reconciliation," the two warring friends finally managed to work through their issues, with Sasuke admitting defeat and Naruto telling him that the fight had never been about who won or who lost. It was about slugging a friend's face to help him wake up to the truth: that whether Sasuke liked it or not, Naruto was going to be his friend for the rest of their lives.

The extent of their injuries were also eventually revealed, which prompted fans to wonder what would become of them now that they had each lost an arm?

Moreover, fans believed that this would be the final episode of the series but the preview at the end of the episode proved this wasn't the case.

Episode 479 titled, "Naruto Uzumaki" will be airing next week and will feature the protagonist's ability to bounce right back from his injuries. It will also show Naruto and Kakashi's first meeting after the fight. What will the two of them talk about? Will the next episode finally see Kakashi's ascension to office as the sixth Hokage of Konoha? Also, will the two of them finally be able to work together to break the Infinite Tsukuyomi?

Blasting News has also reported the title for the upcoming episode 480, "Naruto and Hinata." These two episodes will lay down the conclusive chapters in Naruto's life at this point. Episode 480 may also show events and details that had already been featured in the movie, "Naruto: The Last."

According to Enstarz, fans have begun craving for a few filler arcs now that the series is nearing its end. Needless to say, fans are pleased with how Studio Pierrot has been handling the final episodes so far, and they are not yet ready to let go of the long-running anime series.

Saiyan Island has listed the airing schedule for "Naruto Shippuden" this month. Included in the list of upcoming installments is episode 481 titled, "Sasuke and Sakura." The next three episodes of the series will air on three consecutive Thursdays, Oct. 13, 20 and 27, at 6:30 p.m. JST on TV Tokyo.
