The following article contains spoilers for Naruto: Sasuke's Story - The Uchiha and the Heavenly Stardust Chapter 5, by Masashi Kishimoto and Jun Esaka, translated by Mr. Underhill and published by Viz Media in English.
Sasuke Retsuden Chapter 5 was recently released, and after a two-week layoff, the manga once again produced what might be considered a very excellent chapter. The remainder of this week's chapter saw the plot pick up right where it left off, with Sasuke and Sakura deducing additional information about the Ultra Particles using the Map of the Heavens. They discovered specific constellations within it, and within the constellations was the truth about the Ulta Particles.
While Sakura vowed to solve the mystery in two days, Sasuke was the one who solved it in this week's installment. As predicted, the two then moved on to further investigate the mystery in Redaku, making the chapter even more exciting. With Meno and even Zansul brought into the mix, Sasuke Retsuden Chapter 5 was one that fans truly appreciated, and it lays the stage for even more intense things to come in the storyline moving ahead.
In this chapter, the plot provided fans a nice glimpse at Meno and the convicts, as it always does. Indeed, Sasuke Retsuden Chapter 5 started with them. Jiji realized that Meno enjoys the aroma of the Almond tree while in prison, which is why he sought to tame the beast with a branch and pet. However, while trying to pet it, his foot slipped out of the jail, causing Meno to attack them. Meno burned himself with the flame that was lighting up the cell and toppled it over in the process. Sasuke explained why the beast attacked the group, demonstrating his razor-sharp mind.
Soon after, Sasuke used his Fire Release Jutsu to rekindle the lantern's flame, only to discover a crucial clue concerning the constellations that had tormented him since he saw them on the Map of the Heavens. He recognized right away that the Tailed Beasts held the key to the Map of the Heavens. The fans, like everyone else in Naruto's ninja world, are fully aware of what Tailed Beasts are, and Sasuke discovered one that looked just like Kurama, the Nine-tailed beast.
Fans witnessed Sasuke Uchiha and his wife, Sakura Haruno, solve the riddle of the Map of the Heavens in the previous chapter of Sasuke Retsuden. There, the two discovered particular constellations that had indications regarding the Ultra Particles. While Sasuke wasn't sure how to deal with them at first, he was able to discover the mystery behind them in this week's chapter quite quickly. Sasuke ultimately discovered the truth about the constellations, albeit it took some time. He deduced that they were intimately related to the Tailed Beasts.
As soon as he made this observation, he went in search of his wife and went on to solve the enigma of the Tailed Beasts and the stars. Sakura then proceeded to notify Sasuke of the intriguing facts she had discovered. According to her, the Prime Minister of Redaku was sending someone to Zansul to inquire about the status of a project the two were working on together. To get to the bottom of this, Sasuke and Sakura decide to team up once more on a high-risk operation to infiltrate the conference and learn out what's going on in Redaku.
The most crucial aspect of Sasuke Retsuden Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno agreed to infiltrate the meeting between the guy dispatched from Redaku and Zansul in Chapter 5. This was once again due to Sakura Haruno, who has played an important part in this spin-off manga. In this chapter, she expanded on it by devising this strategy and gathering information about the meeting.
Sakura planned to play the part of an official who would greet the man from Redaku and lead him to Zansul's office. However, after taking him to an unknown place, she proceeded to knock him unconscious and take his shape using the cloning process. Meanwhile, Sasuke pursued them and turned into his staff.
Immediately after, the two demonstrated incredible coordination by breaking into Zansul's office and attempting to get information from him. Meanwhile, Sasuke was busy attempting to sneak around and get his hands on the observatory's secrets. While the two were almost apprehended, Sasuke managed to sneak inside and discover a room full of hens. It is not yet clear what this chamber and its existence mean. Fans are likely to find out sooner rather than later, as Zansul was spotted following Sasuke there shortly after, leaving Sakura's destiny in doubt. Without a doubt, Sasuke Retsuden is just going to get hotter from here on out.
