The next couple of upcoming episodes of the anime series "Naruto Shippuden" are one of the most awaited television showcases this year and it is for good reason. The two have been consistently talked about for the past several days, with speculations that episode 484, and probably episode 485 as well, will be about Sasuke's journey, although there also is a recent report saying that both episodes could also be showcasing Boruto's storyline, proof of which is the development of the original manga source material.

According to GameNGuide, episodes 484 and 485, should they strictly follow the events of the book called "Sasuke's Story: Sunrise," will be about Boruto's storyline, which in turn is actually an existing manga series that has the same story development as "Naruto Shippuden." The publication goes on to say that the book will serve as the inspiration for the storyline of episodes 484 and 485. The reason why it will be showcased in two episodes is because the events of "Sasuke's Story: Sunrise" is way too long to be fitted in just a single episode.

Per News Everyday, the "Book of Sunrise" revealed Sasuke's deepest secrets; things and revelations that no one has ever known or heard before. The same report said that Sasuke revealed his previous motivation of killing his own brother after the latter massacred their family. However, he ultimately decided that he needed to go far away on a journey in search of atonement for his revengeful mind.

In the upcoming episodes, it is also rumored that Sasuke's previous desire to find out more about the mystery surrounding Kaguya Otsutsuki will finally be realized. It should be pretty interesting what Sasuke will find out with regard to why the once goddess became evil.

Finally, fans expect that the next episode will likewise be showcasing Sasuke reminiscing the past, particularly how his relationship with Naruto developed, from being best friends and turning into rivals.

Episode 484 of "Naruto Shippuden" is set to be aired on Dec. 1.
