'Naruto Shippuden' episode 468, 469 spoilers: 'The Successor' airs today, episode 469 on July 28

(Facebook/Naruto)"Naruto Shippuden" returns with episode 468 today, July 21.

"Naruto Shippuden" will be back with episode 468 today, July 21. Fans of the popular Japanese anime can expect an episode about the Ninshu when the series returns.

The translation for the upcoming episode's synopsis reveals the strength of bonds. These bonds bring people together and it makes them feel the happiness and sadness that others feel.

"In the beginning, bonds overflow with love and emotion. As long as there are bonds, Ninshu will not be used for evil. But power without bonds will surely bring calamity to this world," it reads.

Titled "The Successor," episode 468 was expected to be released on Thursday, July 14, last week. However, changes in the broadcast schedule pushed it to air today. Moreover, the episode will unfortunately not be available for fans for live stream.

The previous episode, titled "Ashura's Decision," saw Ashura encountering a plagued village. The plague was the result of the Divine Tree's sap, which was making the village crops toxic. This became a problem for Ashura because the villagers relied on the Divine Tree for the crops' fertility and their prosperity, so they couldn't just take it down without caution. Using Ninshu, Ashura was able to make a well and fill it with water, which was then used for the crops, thus solving their dilemma.

Episode 469 of "Naruto Shippuden," on the other hand, will not suffer from a delay and will air on July 28. The episode is titled "A Special Mission." The episode after that, which is episode 470 and titled "The Connected Feelings," will air on Aug. 4.

Despite the episodes serving as fillers, they still provide a significant insight into the world of Naruto and the skills that they practice. It is definitely going to get more exciting once the anime goes back to showing the stories from the manga.

In other "Naruto"-related news, the Limited Edition Blu-ray of "Boruto: Naruto the Movie" has been made available in Japan. The movie, which revolves around Naruto's son, Boruto Uzamaki, has already sold more than 30,000 units.
