Naruto May Give Sasuke and Sakura Their Own Anime Soon

By Evan Valentine

Sasuke and Sakura haven't always had the best relationship in the world of Naruto, with the Uchiha originally dismissing Sakura's advances in favor of dedicating himself to exacting revenge on his brother, Itachi. Almost dying as an enemy of Konoha during the sequel series, Naruto: Shippuden, Sasuke would eventually see the light and return as a ninja in the Hidden Leaf's ranks. With the Naruto/Sakura spin-off series releasing a manga adaptation from the novel series, it would seem that an anime adaptation is nigh. 

Sasuke's Story, the spin-off series that began as a novel and then became popular enough to receive a manga adaptation which is currently releasing new chapters to this day, documented an adventure that saw the last Uchiha and Sakura setting forth to save Naruto's life as a mysterious illness has befallen the Seventh Hokage. With recent events in Boruto's manga seeing Sasuke lose an eye in the fight against Kara, the Uchiha will clearly remain a big part of future battles, acting as both Boruto's mentor and one of the most powerful ninjas currently residing in the Hidden Leaf Village. 

Sasuke And Sakura Style

The new anime episodes are rumored to begin in January via an episode titled "Sasuke Retsuden – Secret Basement", with the series hitting the small screen much like "Konoha Shinden: Steam Ninja Scrolls" had done which took the opportunity to focus on Kakashi and Mighty Guy as they attempted to discover a hot spring that would cure the latter's injuries he attained in his fight against Madara Uchiha:

The official description of Naruto: Sasuke's Story – The Uchiha and The Heavenly Stardust reads as such, for those who haven't yet dived into this tale that takes place between the end of Naruto: Shippuden and the beginning of Boruto: Naruto Next Generations:

"Uchiha Sasuke heads for an astronomical observatory, far from the Land of Fire. There, he syncs up with Sakura, and together they dive into an undercover investigation in search of traces of the Sage of Six Paths! They discover a plan that goes beyond life and death, and a battle that will test this husband-and-wife team till death do they part."  

If you haven't had the opportunity to read this new spin-off manga series, you can read the available chapters on Viz Media's official website, which you can access at this link.
