When "Naruto Shippuden" Episode 469 release date arrives next week, fans who did not enjoy the little Indra - Ashura backstory, can finally breathe a sigh of relief. This is because according to "Naruto Shippuden" 469 spoilers, fans may no longer see more of Ashura and Indra in the coming episode.
According to "Naruto Shippuden" episode 469 spoilers, last episode was the final installment of the Ashura - Indra arc. As such, fans would most likely expect a continuation of the main storyline when "Naruto Shippuden" episode 470 release date arrives next week.
Naruto Shippuden 468 Recap
For those who would rather read a brief summary, here's a "Naruto Shippuden" episode 468 recap. As was hinted at in previous episodes, the Sage of the Six Paths, Hagoromo, finally decided that Ashura should be the successor.
At first, Indra can't believe his father's decision to choose his obviously less talented younger brother over him. After all, Indra solved the village water crisis by securing a water source for the village he was assigned to. In fact, in the eyes of almost everyone, he should have scored a higher point for his deed because he finished it faster and he solved it alone.
But Hagoromo revealed that after Indra left, the village was in chaos because the villagers fought each other for water rights. Although it boggles the mind why Indra's position should be affected by the behaviour of irrational and obviously greedy villagers. It could have been a case of pure luck, Ashura might just be lucky enough to be assigned to a more peace loving village whose inhabitants know how to share.
But nevertheless, Hagoromo's decision is final. The understandably furious Indra did what a proper villain should do, kill his two best friends and awaken his Mangekyo Sharingan.
Indra did not waste time. While the village was celebrating over Ashura's selection, he attacked them and could have succeeded. Unfortunately for him, his younger brother already inherited and awakened the power of the Sage of the Six Paths which was enough to defeat him.
Naruto Shippuden 469 Spoiler - Is The Ashura/Indra Arc Finally Over?
Fan may observe that last episode was a bit forced. A lot of it could have been expanded and made into interesting sub plots to further develop the characters of Indra and Ashura. However, it seems that the production team decided to cut short the arc, according to "Naruto Shippuden" episode 469 spoilers.
Viewers need to remember that the Ashura/Indra Arc is just a filler story. And according to "Naruto Shippuden" episode 469 spoilers, the arc has already fulfilled its purpose, the introduction of origin of the conflict between the Senju and Uchiha clans.
