'Naruto Shippuden' spoilers: 'Hidden Leaf Village' story arc details; premiere date revealed

"Naruto Shippuden" has just introduced a new story arc focused on Shikamaru, but new details on the next arc the anime will tackle have found their way online already.

The arc, which will be taken from the "Hidden Leaf Village Story" from the Naruto books that tell tales that followed the Great Ninja War, will begin on episode 494 airing Thursday, Feb. 16.

The "Naruto Shippuden" episode in question will be titled "The Hidden Leaf Village Story: The Perfect Day for a Wedding, Part 1."

As fans know, the story will center on Naruto and Hinata's wedding. They have invited all their friends to be part of their big day, but it looks like they are not going to be a part of the new chapter of their lives.

This is because everyone has taken on new jobs and responsibilities that they are unable to leave just to attend to the wedding of the pair.

This will push Kakashi in this "Naruto Shippuden" story to make sure that all the people the happy couple invited will not only be able to grace the wedding, but also bring gifts.

Before fans look forward to the story arc, which is expected to have five episodes like the arcs before it, they will be treated with five "Naruto Shippuden" episodes focused on Shikamaru and his mission at the Land of Silence.

The first episode, "Shikamaru's Story: A Cloud Drifting in the Silent Dark, Part 1: The State of Affairs," aired last week. It will be followed this Thursday with the episode 490, "Dark Clouds."

In this episode, Shikamaru and company plot a way to get into the Land of Silence without the enemies noticing, interrupting and thwarting their plans. The promo shows the team looking for the method that will serve their purpose best.

Episode 491, "Blindly," airs Jan. 26 while episode 492, "Cloud of Suspicion" and episode 493, "Dawn," will air on Feb. 2 and Feb. 9, respectively.
