'Naruto Shippuden' 476 spoilers, news: Will this be the end of the anime's epic run?

(Facebook/Naruto)Naruto and Sasuke fight to the death in "Naruto Shippuden" 476.

Naruto and Sasuke's epic fight will continue in the upcoming chapter of the popular anime series "Naruto Shippuden."

476 is expected to determine who will be the winner between the two most powerful ninjas of Konoha. Naruto and Sasuke faced off last chapter as they tried to see who between them was the strongest. The epic fight was something both of them have been waiting for, ever since they declared war on each other when they were still kids and trainees under Kakashi's Team 7. As per The Bitbag, the two ninjas will not hold back in their attacks. Kakashi, Naruto and Sakura, however, will reportedly continue to believe in their comrade. Sasuke's innate goodness, they pray, will triumph in the end.

Meanwhile, the episode is reportedly slated to run for an hour. Fans can all agree that the usual 20 minutes running time per episode is not enough to satisfy their fix for the hit anime. There is a drawback to this, however.

As per Game N Guide, chapter 476 may be the final one in the series. Pierrot, the Japanese animation studio where "Naruto" airs, is allegedly planning to cram seven chapters in the hour-long special episode. Fans can watch chapters 694 to 700 in just one sitting. The special will not be airing next week, as expected, but on Sept. 29 to give the studio more time to prepare for the finale.

The chapter is also expected to reveal who will become the seventh Hokage of Konoha. Although Naruto and Sasuke are both tough contenders, rumors claim that the throne will go to Hinata. Naruto and Hinata will allegedly get married, and although he did not get to achieve his dream of becoming the Hokage, he is satisfied with his life. Hinata has always been a firm supporter of Naruto, even when others shunned him most of his life.
