2017 Naruto Shippuden Episode 714 Original Production Script, CGC 9.6

Naruto ran for fifteen years and 720 episodes across two seasons. By the time it reached its final arc, there was only one thing left to do after endless war and loss: get Naruto married.

This is the production script for episode 714, the first of seven episodes that carry the story to its close. First broadcast in Japan on February 16, 2017, it opens Konoha Hiden: The Perfect Day for a Wedding.

The character 仮 on the script cover marks the title as provisional, denoting that it was printed before the episode’s name had been settled. Studio Pierrot produced it for internal use only, with no version intended for commercial release or circulation outside the production.

Working scripts were made to be used, not preserved, and many were discarded once their purpose was served. This example is an exception. It is the only sealed and graded Shippuden Episode 714 surviving in near-pristine condition, receiving a 9.6 from CGC.
