There is light at the end of the tunnel!

Naruto: Shippuden is finally returning to canon material! May 5th’s episode “The Inception” will adapt the 679th chapter of the manga. For clarity, the original manga has 700 chapters.

Which means, we might make it, fam! This is such a big moment, that Studio Pierrot even took the time to create a key visual.

Let’s hope that the Filler Jutsu is dead.

This will be the first canon episode of Naruto: Shippuden since August 27, 2015. For reference, the manga ended on November 10, 2014.

Are you still following Naruto: Shippuden or did you just pick up the manga were the series left off?
