After getting the premiere date earlier this week for the upcoming Naruto: Shippuuden – Itachi Shinden-hen ~Hikari to Yami~ anime adaptation, we now have the first actual trailer for it. The new thirty-second spot shows a fairly dark time ahead for the story as one would expect and hopefully it’ll be strong enough to overcome the problems that the main series has been dealing with for most of the past year.
The arc is set to begin on March 3rd, 2016.
The new storyline in the Naruto universe will focus on Itachi and it looks like it’s going to run similar to how Fairy Tail is handling the Fairy Tail Zero adaptation by running it in the main series.
Plot concept: Itachi Uchiha, age four. After seeing what occurs on the battlefield up close, he makes a certain decision. He decided that he would change the world. The dream that Itachi aimed for. His dream: A Hokage from the Uchiha clan, and a future where those he loved could live in peace. His time in the ninja academy, his meeting with Shisui, becoming a Genin, Chunin, and finally a member of the Anbu… Itachi ran straight down a path of glory, not knowing that a cruel darkness was spreading…
