Naruto Hypes Sasuke Spin-Off Anime With New Poster

By Nick Valdez

Naruto: Sasuke's Story will be getting an anime of its own next year, and has released the first intense poster for the new arc to give fans an idea of what to expect from this new story! Naruto: Sasuke's Story – The Uchiha and the Heavenly Stardust began as one of the "Shinden" and "Retsuden" spin-off novels that have explored the gap in between the events of the original series and the Boruto: Naruto Next Generations sequel. These novels have been such a success that they are now getting manga and anime adaptations of their own as Boruto: Naruto Next Generations continues to explore its options.

With Boruto: Naruto Next Generations' anime kicking off its next manga arc in the adaptation next February, the anime has announced it will be buying its time with a full adaptation of Naruto: Sasuke's Story – The Uchiha and the Heavenly Stardust spin-off novel. While there's no word on how long this spin-off anime will be lasting within Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, you can check out the first poster for the new Sasuke's Story arc below as released by Viz Media:

Kicking off in Boruto: Naruto Next Generations some time in January 2023, before the anime gets back to the manga's material with the Code arc in the following month, this special spin-off gets a fresh look at Sasuke and Sakura before the events of the sequel series. The original Naruto: Sasuke's Story – The Uchiha and the Heavenly Stardust novel is written by Jun Esaka with special elements added by original series creator Masashi Kishimoto, and Viz Media has licensed the original light novel series for an official English release.

Viz Media is also currently releases Naruto: Sasuke's Story's manga adaptation through their Shonen Jump digital library, and they tease the spin-off story as such, "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."
