As for the story itself, it takes place several years after the end of Naruto: Shippuden. At this time, Naruto Uzumaki has become the Hokage while Sasuke continues his work outside of the Hidden Leaf as a sort of Shadow Hokage. When Naruto comes down with a terminal illness shared by the Sage of Six Paths, Sasuke is forced to journey across the world to find a cure, and it doesn't take long before Sakura joins in on the mission.
Now, this beloved light novel is making its manga premiere, and chapter one can be read for free right now. New chapters of Sasuke Retsuden will be posted weekly thanks to artist Shingo Kimura. The illustrator is already being praised for adapting Kishimoto's art style, and they will have more chances to prove their talent as Sasuke Retsuden carries on.
