The popular manga series, Sasuke Retsuden will be getting an anime adaptation. The first episode of Sasuke Retsuden will be released on January 8, 2023.
A few months back, to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Naruto franchise, it was announced that the light novel series, Sasuke Retusden which tells the story of Sasuke and Sakura after the Shinobi war ended, will be adapted into manga series. The manga series has been ongoing since October 2022 and got a positive response from the readers. Fans were hoping that the manga will soon get an anime adaptation.
As reported by Shonen Leaks, Sasuke Retsuden is getting an anime adaptation. However, it won’t be a standalone anime series. Rather, it will be a separate arc in the ongoing Boruto: Naruto Next Generation anime series. The title for the first two episodes has been revealed.
Episode 1 of Sasuke Retsuden (282nd episode of Boruto) is titled “Sasuke Retsuden: Infiltration”, and episode 2 (283rd episode of Boruto) is titled “Sasuke Retsuden: Star Lines”. No details about the animation studio have been announced yet. We also don’t know how the story will be incorporated into the ongoing Boruto anime, since Sasuke Retsuden takes place way before the events of Boruto.
When it comes to complicated anime characters, Sasuke Uchiha’s name is often mentioned. Sasuke left his village and went to Orochimaru to gain power in order to defeat his older brother, Itachi. Later he found that Itachi was a victim who did the bidding of Leaf Village’s elders. Sasuke shifted his focus to destroying leaf village after that, but at the end of the Naruto series, he realizes his mistake and leaves the village to atone for his wrongdoings. A lot of Naruto fans were craving more of Sasuke’s story and wanted to see how he made up for his past mistakes.

Here is the synopsis of the series “The Shinobi world experienced a long time of peace after the 4th Great Shinobi War ended. However, the war’s hero, Naruto, became ill, preventing him from accessing his Chakra. To save his longtime friend, Sasuke set off on a mission with Kakashi and Sakura to discover a solution for Naruto’s sickness.”
The story has a lot of romantic and cute scenes between Sasuke and Sakura. Naruto’s manga author, Kishimoto is not drawing the manga series, but a new mangaka, Shingo Kimura is in charge of drawing.

I love the mangas & I love both characters, I’m extremely excited for these episodes!
Me too. But feel sorry for Uchiha Sakura, The Best kunoichi of shinobi world, because most of the Naruto fans dislike her 😞.
As a Uchiha Sasuke fan, I love to see more stories about Sasuke. I would be even happier if sasuke had a second child like Naruto.
I would love to watch this series because without naruto and sasuke their will nit be that much to enjoy there rivalness,friendship,fights all of them are awesome
The two most garbage characters in history. No thanks
Sorry but no. Kishimoto fvcking ruined both characters.
Sasuke would never marry, impregnate and have a “loving” family with the woman he literally tried to kill several times… just as Sakura, if she had ANY kind of character development, would never marry someone who tried to kill her several times.
Naruto ended on chapter 698 for me.
I like to imagine that both Sasuke and Naruto died of their injuries, that Kakashi became the 6th Hokage and after him, Sakura (who ended up marrying someone who actually loved her, like Ino!). The end.
