Boruto Gives Fans an Update on Sasuke’s Critical Injury

If there is any character in Naruto who seems unshakable, it is Sasuke. Time and again, the Uchiha has subverted the odds in battle to come out on top, and he rarely gets too banged up. When Sasuke is really injured, fans know the heir must have fought someone real tough, so they are glad to have gotten an update on the ninja following his brutal battle with Jigen.

And as you might have guessed, Sasuke is not doing too hot right now.

Recently, Boruto: Naruto Next Generations gave fans an update on Sasuke. The Uchiha was last seen rattled after he battled with Jigen, the leader of Kara. After Naruto lost to baddie, Sasuke tried to help his friend get free, but it was no use. Ordered to flee, Sasuke ended last chapter before Sakura with some dire injuries, and Shikamaru has finally been updated on Sasuke’s status.

“Uchiha Sasuke has returned! However, he’s suffered serious injuries and is currently unconscious,” one Konoha ninja informed Shikamaru.

“Fortunately, the medical unit has already pulled him out of critical condition, but no clues as to who did it to him! We can only wait for him to wake up and tell us.”

At this time, the Hidden Leaf Village has no idea the trouble before them. They may know about Kara, but they do not know the kind of trouble Jigen entails. This is a man so powerful he beat both Naruto and Sasuke at once. With the latter in critical condition, fans have a better grasp of Jigen’s strength, and it is more than enough to cause the Hidden Villages worry.

Originally created by Masashi Kishimoto for Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump in 1999, Naruto follows a young ninja, with a sealed demon within him, that wishes to become the leader of his home village. The series ran for 700 chapters overall, and was adapted into an anime series by Studio Pierrot and Aniplex that ran from 2002 to 2017. The series was popular enough to warrant a sequel, Boruto: Naruto Next Generations which is set several years after the events of the original Naruto story and features the children of many of its key characters such as Naruto and Hinata.
