Viewers of "Naruto Shippuden" will get a peek of Naruto's younger years in "Naruto Shippuden" episode 480 titled "Boyhood Arc."

According to reports, "Boyhood Arc" will flashback into the days when the Nine-Tails was still sealed to Naruto. The episode will also feature Hinata who eventually became Naruto's wife. It would be recalled that the love between the two started with competition that eventually developed into friendship. As a female, Hinata's father did not see her capable of leading their clan, leading him to disinherit her.

The publication also notes that a new opening theme song will be featured in the said episode. The song "Kara no Kokoro" as performed by Anly will open the episode, while the group Ayumikurikamaki will perform at the end. The departure song is titled, "Tabidachi no Uta."

Other sources add that "Boyhood Arc," which follows the epic battle between Naruto and Sasuke, will return to the time when Naruto became the Kyuubi. His early years in training will be shown from when he was training on his own until someone sees him doing it. Hinata may be the person referred to or Sasuke, who eventually trains him.
