Though the original Naruto manga has ended, its anime adaptation Naruto Shippuden is still ongoing with 483 episodes.

In a recent release of this year’s 50th Weekly Shonen Jump issue, some information reveal anime adaptations of the franchise’s three epilogue novels namely Naruto: Sasuke’s Story – Sunrise, Naruto: Shikamaru’s Story, and Naruto – Konoha Hiden: Shūgen Biyori written by Shin Towasa, Takashi Yano, and Sho Hinata respectively.

Viz Media was able to publish two of the three Naruto novels in English. The Sasuke’s Story novel is expected to be released in Spring next year.

The anime adaptations of these novels were scheduled to be aired in the winter season. However, the airing dates are now moved due to special programmings scheduled on November 17 and 24. Expect further announcements related to these releases in the coming weeks.
