Naruto: Sasuke's Story (Naruto True Chronicles)


Naruto, Sasuke Uchiha, ninja
Naruto: Sasuke's Story

In Sasuke’s Story, every nation is experiencing the same attacks of ninja going missing and turning up changed and almost possessed. If the ninja’s bodies are harmed in any way, they immediately explode destroying everything around it. The hidden leaf village, the village where Naruto and Sasuke are from, has a double defense wall that only people from their village can enter. Because the people possessed are from the village, they are able to slip through security and carry out the deed a sinister ninja has planned. This is also happening in other hidden villages in other nations.


Sasuke has some news about what’s happening in his village and encounters a group a ninja that may either be involved or know who is involved. Meanwhile, Sakura and Naruto are uncovering the secret as to how the missing ninja became possessed.


I believe this story has been adapted into an anime for the show, but it’s more of an epilogue story rather than a new spin off. It was to show what Sasuke did during his atonement and how atoned for what he did to all the nations. I had hoped it would show how Sakura and Sasuke got together, but I’ve come to accept that fans will never get a story involving their romance. It’s possible the show wants to keep it ambiguous.


This seems to be the last book in the true chronicles as far as the English translation goes. Itachi's Story had two parts with the titles being opposites, Midnight and Daylight. Sasuke's Story is similar with opposite titles because this book is titled Sunrise, so the sequel will most definitely be Sunset. The story also feels like it could go on for a little longer because Sasuke's atonement isn't complete nor is his mission with finding more information about other threatening ninja.


Overall, it was a fascinating experience to read a story from Sasuke's perspective. Although the story wasn't first person narrative, there a few moments when Sasuke's thoughts were shared which isn't a very common event in Naruto.
