Giving fans a bit of an idea of just how much more is in store for them in the months to come, the new novel Naruto Konoha Shinden Yukemuri Ninpō-chō is listing that we’ll be seeing the anime adaptation of several of the epilogue novels this coming winter season. Details are expected in an upcoming Weekly Shonen Jump installment and it’s expected that these stories will fill in more time before the actual end of the manga itself since they tell tales of the past for the characters. The anime series worked on adapting some of this material earlier this year with the Itachi story arc.
The novels set for adaptation so far include:
- Shikamaru’s Story
- Konoha’s Hidden Story
- Sasuke’s Story
