‘Naruto Shippuden’ Episode 494, 495: Naruto Finally Weds Hinata; Series Could End Soon

"Naruto Shippuden" Episode 494, 495 spoilers predict festive times up ahead. And not surprisingly, the upcoming episodes might also make long-time fans of the hit anime feel a bit older.

When the series was launched as an anime in 2002, people were hooked on the story of a young orphan boy who managed to overcome great odds through perseverance coupled with an unconquerable optimism. Fans cannot help but laugh at Naruto's crazy antics as the boy was determined to prove his worth. Now, 15 years later, Naruto has officially entered adulthood when he ties the knot with Hinata in "Naruto Shippuden" Episode 494 and 495, GamesnAnime reported.

Both "Naruto Shippuden" Episodes 494 and 495 will be aired this coming Thursday, February 16, 2016 in a one hour special. For those who might have wondered why Naruto would be pairing with Hinata instead of Sakura, it was revealed that creator Masashi Kishimoto had long ago decided Naruto to wed Hinata instead of his childhood crush.

The coming "Naruto Shippuden" Episode 494 will see all of Naruto and Hinata's friends getting busy for the couple's wedding. In fact, the whole of Konoha will join in the festivities as Naruto has already achieved hero status in the Hidden Leaf after he and Sasuke defeated Kaguya in the last Great War.

"Naruto Shippuden" Episode 494, 495 spoilers reveal that Kakashi will even make it a mission among Naruto and Hinata's classmates to look for the perfect gift the couple. Kakashi might have to resort to this tactic as it is the only way to ensure all their friends will be present at the wedding.

Sadly, Naruto's wedding in the coming "Naruto Shippuden" Episode 494 seems to remind fans on the uncertainty of the long-running anime series. All stories, even one as enjoyable as Naruto, need a proper closure and fans can't help but wonder how long the anime series will continue to air when they have already consumed the entire manga's storyline.

While it is still uncertain how long the "Naruto Shippuden" story will go on, fans are assured that they will continue to enjoy the anime's particular brand of entertainment even if the parent anime series should come to a close. According to Comic Book, a spin-off series is already in the works, one that will continue the main storyline but focuses on Naruto's son Boruto.
