Search for the Best Wine Ends in Trouble in Episodes 497, 498 of 'Naruto Shippuden'
There are only a few days left before Naruto and Hinata's grand wedding, which could also mark the end of the long-running anime series "Naruto Shippuden."
The upcoming episode 498 will feature the final mission in the quest to find the perfect wedding gift and will feature Shino and Kiba's search for honey wine, which is said to have once been given by the Senju clans as a wedding present.
in the light novel where this particular arc was based, the idea came from their former teacher, Kurenai, who also said that the honey wine had various nutritional and restorative qualities. The problem was that honey wine had become very rare at present and was not at all sold anywhere in Konoha. This would lead the two of them to Sora-ku, which was a major source of black market goods.
