‘Naruto Shippuden’ News: Two Major Characters To Tie The Knot

February is the month of love and "Naruto Shippuden" is taking this tradition seriously. The hit series is set to adapt "Konoha Hidden: The Perfect Day for a Wedding." Preparations for the wedding of two core characters will kick off starting Feb. 16 for the anime's 494th episode.

"Konoha Hidden: The Perfect Day for a Wedding" is a 2015 novel that told the story of Naruto and Hinata's wedding. It is unclear if all of the events in the novel will be adapted into the anime series. However, fans can expect love bugs floating around in Feb. 16 episode of "Naruto Shippuden."

According to Crunchyroll, a big event will be held in celebration of Hinata and Naruto's wedding in "Naruto Shippuden." The gathering will be held at the J-Word amusement park where fans and visitors will be treated to various wedding-themed tours and "Naruto" items to purchase.

A poster for the upcoming event has been unveiled for fans to see. In the poster, Hinata wears a kimono with a huge flower to adorn her hair. It has yet to be confirmed if this is the same attire that she will be seen wearing in Episode 494 of "Naruto Shippuden."

Fans know from the manga series that Hinata and Naruto got married. However, this is the first time the wedding will be showcased on television. It is also a great treat for "Naruto Shippuden" viewers who have not read the novel version of the story.

Comic Book notes that for now, the highly anticipated final battle in "Naruto Shippuden" that will feature Naruto and Sasuke will be put on hold. Everyone will be busy working to prepare for Naruto and Hinata's much-awaited television wedding. Their friends will also be involved in the preparations.

In the novel version of "Konoha Hidden: The Perfect Day for a Wedding," Kakashi, the then Hokage of Konoha, instructs the soon-to-be-married's friends to bring gifts. Sasuke won't attend the occasion but everyone else will. It remains to be seen if the same plot will be adapted in "Naruto Shippuden."
