"Sasuke Shinder: Book of Sunrise" is a book that consists of 244 pages, and there are no concrete reports on how many episodes it will cover in the anime series.

To have a little perspective, the book" Itachi's Story - Light and Darkness" was featured in "Naruto Shippuden" for eight episodes. The book that narrates Itachi's story has a total of 544 pages.

There are also speculations online that after the filler episodes, "Naruto Shipuden" will show the new generation of ninjas, which includes Uzumaki Boruto and the rest of his colleagues.
