Now that the "Boyhood Arc" for "Naruto Shippuden" is officially over last week with Jiraiya and Kakashi's early years, a brand new arc will begin come episode 484.

The anime will focus on the events following the Fourth Great Ninja War as well as Sasuke and Naruto's battle, which was depicted before the "Boyhood Arc."

The new arc in "Naruto Shippuden" will focus first on Sasuke's journey after these events. It will be based on the official book series, "Naruto: Sasuke's Story: Sunrise."

"Naruto Shippuden" episode 484 will be titled "Sasuke's Story: Sunrise, Part 1: The Exploding Human." There, he travels far and wide as he makes up for all his sins and shapes his future.

"With the Sharingan in my right eye, and the Rinnegan in my left, what future will those eyes see now? These eyes that once only saw darkness?" Sasuke asked in the voiceover on the "Naruto Shippuden" episode 484.

In the book, Sasuke's effort to atone for all the wrongs he committed also leads him to uncover more mysteries about Kaguya Otsutsuki, who he and Naruto defeated.

"Naruto Shippuden" episode 484 and beyond will also likely delve into Sasuke's past, particularly during the time he wanted nothing but to exact revenge on his brother Itachi Uchiha.

Sasuke hoped he will settle the scores with his brother for wiping out their clan. He then turned his attention to the Hidden Leaf Village altogether. He was not able to do this, thanks to Naruto.

According to Saiyan Island, Sasuke's story from "Naruto: Sasuke's Story: Sunrise" will take up to four episodes of "Naruto Shippuden."

The arc should be followed by two more arcs, the first one based on "Shikamaru's Story: A Cloud Drifting in Silent Darkness" and the second one inspired from "Hidden Leaf Village's Story: The Perfect Day for a Wedding."

"Naruto Shippuden" episode 484, "Sasuke's Story: Sunrise, Part 1: The Exploding Human," airs Thursday, Dec. 1 on TV Tokyo. It will be followed by episode 485, "Sasuke's Story: Sunrise, Part 2: Colosseum."
