CELESTIAL SPHERE

He couldn’t sleep. The man pressed his tin body


against the cold sheets. The breath in the room is
white and, I can’t stop the trembling of my body when
I wrap my blanket that is not covered in cotton
around my body. I wonder if it will be about half a
month now, with the roasted futon of the sweet and
persimmon on the bad. Aza (?) increases in the body
every time I go to bed, so I don’t feel like I’m taking a
break. If I could sleep at least in a place where the
wind doesn’t blow through, it will be a little better.
With a feeling of disgust, he opened his eyes and
stared into the dark room.
Trong mộ t că n phò ng nhỏ bằ ng sáu tấ m chiếu tatami,

turn over the floor just as hard and I let a groan
escape from my mouth.

- Shit… Why am I so blind to this?

Until just six months ago, the man was in a prison


in the capital of The Great Buddha Country. Even
without freedom, the minimum living was
guaranteed, and it was much safer and more
comfortable than here.
When I finished my term, I was wondering if I would
go back with a proper crime again. However, one day I
was transferred out of nowhere. It was only heard
that they would be engaged in fatiguing labour work
in cold mountains. Because it is manual labour, it can
only done by young a health prisoner.
Tatar Institute of Astronomy. It seems to be a historical
research facility derived from the astronomer, Janmar-
Tatar, a legendary astronomer who survived the same
7 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF THE
CELESTIAL SPHERE

period as Rokudo Sennin, but that doesn't matter. The


problem is that the research institute is so cold that it
can be below freezing even in early spring.
And, there was no rest in Roku from morning to night
in the environment that the domestic animal was
better even if it thought how the meal, clothes, and
the room provided, and it was to have been made to
dig cold soil single-mindedly. Under these
circumstances, the livestock were doing better than
us.

- Why am I… Under circumstances like these… -


I bite my teeth, and tightly grip my futon. Fatiguing
work, every day and every night.
The nail which is dirty with the soil bites into the
palm of the hand which was completely peeled by the
work of every day. The man’s crime was a family’s
murder. Three years ago, on the winter day, I broke
into a house for something to eat, and casually stole
all the money they had.
When I left the young couple and two children who were
at home, I had them tied up with a rope and ran way. It
seems that everyone had frozen and were dying for two
days without being noticed by anyone. Because of that,
that’s how I played a role in killing four people, so it is a
bad thing. It was an accident, there was no killing
intention there. Most of the time there was nothing to
eat, so I stole it from someone else’s house, so it’s almost
like a legal defence. I wonder why I should get this in my
way? Dissatisfaction soaks into the chest like water. It's
already the limit.

The man made up his mind, staring at the eyes of the


ceiling.
8 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF THE
CELESTIAL SPHERE

“The lives of the prisoners are controlled by the sound


of (dotaku) bell.” I was exhausted when the dull sound
of the time to get up rings, the exhausted prisoners
begin to get up like zombies. If you oversleep, you'll
be mercilessly fed by the guards who keep an eye on
them, so they're all right in time.
I went out of the room yawning an eat twice a day.
And I thought “I’ll just eat pig or whatever kind of
suspicious meat they offer.”
Standing in a line extending the length of the dining
room, he took on deep breath and suppressed his
feelings.
Contrary to the weight of his sleepy body, his nerves
are clear and were excited. Even if some guy were to
decide to enter from the side of the line and step his
foot in the process, he would not care this morning.
Even if the man behind him vomited in almost the
immediate vicinity of his ear.

“I’m leaving here today. We´re out of here.”


After receiving his breakfast, the man looked around
the hall, which was packed with prisoners. If you’re
going to scape regardless, talk to that guy who wants
to invite you. The guy I was looking for was sitting in
his usual seat by the window. Inmate number 487.
Sasuke. What’s unusual is his appearance, rather than
his name. He’s got unmistakable black hair and eyes.
His face chiseled and thin, and his nose stands out
from the beauty of his side-profile. His face is
unforgettable, it’d be a masterpiece at any single angle
you look at him. Up close, you will be suspicious that
you are the same creature as him.
9 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF THE
CELESTIAL SPHERE

It’s bothering that he is unfriendly and always looks


like a cat, but it’s also a bother because he is so strong
that no one can take him out with just their hands.
The warning emitted from Sasuke’s mouth was very
simple:
- “Don’t get in my way.”
For most prisoners, Sasuke is hard to wrap your head
around.
10 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE
11 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

His fangs sticking out of the man's body, (A-rare


beast) he landed without a sound. Angrily opening his
jaws, the man's body drops to the ground. Another
man runs for his life trying to escape. Crushing him
while he rolls on the ground, his talons hook into his
shoulder blades and drag him further along. Stopping
at the courtyard and opening its massive red mouth,
jaws shut down on the man's right shoulder.

- Aaaah!! - the man screamed and let his body go.


Like a piece of meat, blood drips down his stomach,
forming a red puddle at his feet. If you want to make
devouring a human easy, you eat it as soon as you can.
The meat of the man's lower back is torn off with ease.
His muscles pulled apart like fibers of thread. Still
alive, the man cried out as he buried his head and face
into the sand beneath him. To discourage deserters,
the beast purposely drags the body to the courtyard to
be seen by the other prisoners.

- “If you try to run away, this will be your fate as


well.”
- “Wow... Agh...”
- “I'm still alive! I'm alive! I'm sorry!”
The prisoners who carry a pickaxe on their shoulders
look at the scene in the distance, hiding their rolling
eyes. When the beast who was tearing the meat like it
was for fun reached his entrails, the sound of blood
splashing around was all that could be heard, as the
man's scream finally faded to silence.
12 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

- “Well, that's the least of our worries, too much


curiosity in this crowd. Remember we need to get up early.”
The low voice behind the crowd made the workers
cower all at once. A slender man with silver rimmed
glasses slowly walks from the building, the director of
the Tataru Astronomy Research Institute, Zansur. He is
the chief officer here, the king of the base.

- “Standing here like a bunch of sitting ducks...


If you don't move quickly, you'll all be that
beast's dessert.”
Though the workers knew that was a joke, they
couldn't help but turn pale. Zansur's light tone was
almost horrific. While everyone scattered back to
their respective locations, Sasuke closely observed the
beast. The lizard beast shakes its long massive tail,
balancing its upper body and head on its fleshy
stomach. Its face covered with hard skin becomes
flushed with red, specks of yellow shine on the skin.
The giant carnivore of the prison obeys Director
Zansur faithfully. A massive lizard with a bipedal
walk, thick leather skin covered with horns, cone-
shaped fangs and sharp claws. When standing or
walking, his height is about 80 centimetres, but
measuring from the top of its head to the tip of its tail,
2 more meters add to its stature. The beast's leg
strength is incredible, two legs that form from under
its body are like ridiculous springs, one stride will
take the beast dozens of meters forward. This is
different from a prison. The patrolling guards don't
watch the lives of the prisoners, never looking at any
time. No locks on the cells where prisoners stay nor
on the
13 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

entrances of any building. Regardless, the prisoners


who stay here obey the rules obediently. The lizard
beast is the reason. Those who think that they could
or want to escape from here with rarely be seen again,
the beast has a habit of monitoring inside of the site
with such intensity and devouring any prisoner who
dare violate the rules, showing no mercy. At the
Institute of Astronomy, the work of the prisoners here
was mainly excavating and digging up the ground. The
frost on the soil is scraped off with garden hoe for
farming and agricultural work. Carefully digging out
and removing any large rocks or debris they
encountered in the earth. There is nothing but
repetition. It seems to be a necessary task in order to
lay down the foundation for a giant telescope planned
for the site, but those who are seniors to the prison
say this work had been done endlessly for almost a
year now.

- “Oh, come on...”


Jiji, working nearby, laid his garden hoe on his side
and rubbed his hands together. It's particularly colder
in the morning, it's almost below-freezing
temperatures before the sky turns.
- “Sasuke, aren't you cold?”
- “Cold”
To be honest, Sasuke rubbed his palms on the handle,
trying to get any slight warmth from frictional heat.
He's used to fulfilling missions and tasks in harsh
environments, but cold is cold.
- “Oh, I'm done. Why did they create a research
institute in such a cold place? “
14 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

Even though the snow had melted a long time ago.


- “If continue living like this, I'll freeze to death. I
don't know if it's because I'm not the only one with issues
like mine, but I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who has
a problem with all of this.”
Though he's tired of the monotonous work, Jiji's
chattering is nonstop. Jiji is Sasuke's cellmate at the
prison. He's sentenced to at least 6 months
imprisonment for the crime of stealing food to eat.
Sasuke, being of the same age and similar physique as
Jiji, is often paired up and assigned to the same work
as him. Jiji's nose growing more and more red and as
he rubbed his fingertips against each other rigorously,
suddenly cried out,
- “Ah! Oops - He continued - Oh shit! This is
perfect! I have an excuse to go to the medical office with
this.”
- “What's so great about the medical office? Is
something in there?”
- “You don't know? We got a new doctor that just
came, a woman doctor. Everyone can't stop talking about
how beautiful and gentle she is.”

Sasuke was unsure if Jiji's plan was a good idea or not,


adding
- “Love is usually absent in this world.”
Bending his head to the side. Jiji remarked
- “I understand why you're single now”.
- “I know the beautiful doctor's single too, I didn't
see a ring on her finger!”
15 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

- “A ring?” - Sasuke thought to himself.


Jiji glanced back to Sasuke's face, his features changed
to a puzzled expression. As soon as Jiji caught on, he
continued…
- “Oh! Let me explain, you came from another
country, but there's a custom here in Redaku when you get
married, the couple exchange rings. Not just any ring on a
finger, it's specifically the second to last finger on the left
hand, that's the mark of a married person. The doctor didn't
have any kind of ring on” - Jiji's explanation was
interrupted by himself – “oh shit, it's patrol”

Noticing the approaching patrol officers, Jiji became


silent. They quickly tried to act natural, pretending to
work in a serious manner. The patrol officer walked
out to them with his baton out. Although he looked
directly at Jiji, he didn't look at Sasuke once. Scary. Jiji
knew this was his chance. He tossed his hoe to the
side and with the white icy breath that erupted from
his lungs exclaimed

- “Oh, the pain! I can't do it!”


“I agree” Sasuke thought. Sasuke sighed at the sight of
Jiji and looked back to his work. The Tataru
Astronomy Research Institute quietly stands at the
top of the mountain range, but the mountain is bare.
This place is heavily guarded stone dungeon-like
prison, 5,000 meters above sea level. The Sage of Six
paths are said to have stayed in the same area, these
exact mountains. To collect records and information
from that time period on the Sage of Six Paths at the
Tataru Astronomy Institute. That was the purpose of
Sasuke's mission here. Naruto
16 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

remains suffering from such a strange disease back in


the land of fire and collecting these records of the
Sage of Six Paths that remain in this area, might be the
only thing Sasuke can do to help Naruto now. With
Naruto's condition worsening by every moment,
Sasuke became frustrated by the lack of ways to help
him.
- “What's wrong?”
Sasuke's thoughts became interrupted by Jiji's voice.
He could see Jiji looking at him from the shadow of the
long hair over his eyes.
- “No, it's nothing.”
- “Really? You looked so... serious.”
- “Don't worry about it.”
Glossing over Jiji's question, Sasuke picks up his
garden hoe again with his single arm. Sasuke, after
dinner, returns to his cell only to be greeted with a
shrill scream as he puts his hand on the iron gated
door. In the middle of the floor, a man was laid down
on the floor, shy and a bit short. It was Penjura, the
second cellmate. Face-to-face across from him sat Jiji,
eyes glaring each other, and between them sat some
tea, a bowl, and dice rolling around.

- “JIJI, YOU BASTARD! This guy!”


- “Heh, I'm going to go smoke.”
Jiji pulls all the cigarettes on the floor besides them
toward him. Sasuke figures they were playing that
gambling game, Chinchirorin. With the lack of
entertainment in this life of constant supervision,
most prisoners pick up gambling, but Penjura had a
habit of being an absolute gambling fanatic.
17 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

Penjura found joy out of being a bad guy,


accumulating debts in a series of constant losses and
getting caught a few times marrying girls for their
dowry and running off. Marriage scamming, minimum
of one year in prison.
- Ah, Sasuke! You're up next!
Penjura noticing Sasuke. Without skipping a beat, he
threw the dice in the bowl.
- I'm good.
- What's up? - Penjura asked, looking dissatisfied
and his smile pulling his face down into a dull frown. He
turned his head towards the corner of the cell.
- You Ganno! What's taking you so long? Quit
painting or whatever and come over here. - Penjura yelled
at the third cellmate, Ganno.
In the corner of the room sat Ganno, with his back to
Penjura, crouching over something like a bird with its
egg in a nest.
- Not now, Penjura - he answered without a
second thought.
Ganno, who is already halfway done with his 60's, is
the most senior in the cell. He has a red kind of paint
rubbed into the nape of his sagging neck.
- Are you still playing that? I'm tired.
- Don't talk to me right now, I'm about to win.

About a month ago, Ganno, who was out working,


seemingly out of nowhere said "I found a good one!"
He came back with his pockets full of red and brown
stones. He didn't seem to mind the
18 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

skin on his hands becoming slick and slippery from


collecting them. Every morning and every night, he
kept hitting the stones, crushing them up. He had
crushed every single one over the course of 5 days.
Everyone was sure it drove him to insanity since later
he peeled off the skin of his entire foot and had his
raw foot in a bloody wrap. Turns out, boiling melted
skin and the reddish-brown powder of the rocks
could make paint. It happened on the day Sasuke
came to the prison. While the newcomers were
greeted, Ganno began to mix his materials on the
leaves of pine bushes. Looking into the hands of the
man in the cell who was so devoted to his work that
he couldn't wrap his brain around, Sasuke was
completely dumbfounded. The dullish red-brown
powder increased in viscosity as it mixed, it's hue
changing to a bright red. After a few minutes of
kneading, the rock paint was finished. The colour of
bright red plum blossoms. After that, Ganno enjoys
painting every night, using pine needles as a brush
and his nails as a canvas.

- Well, I'll leave it before the next inventory check


this week.
Jiji is surprised by his response and yells at him about
how silly he is because nail art doesn't suit him.

- I know you're in a hurry, look that I'm about to


finish.
His voice is always fun to listen to. His charge is
seventeen years in this prison, state treason. Ganno
was charged guilty for painting the portraits of rival
nobles and pitting them against each other.
19 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

His father was also a painter, but slowly became


obsessed. He said he was always holding a paintbrush,
neither liking nor disliking anything else. Ganno had
painted for over three weeks now, painting a picture a
week. Sasuke couldn't understand why Ganno would
want to spend his energy painting something he knew
had to be erased in a week. Entertainment and
hobbies are valuable in this place. Since the prison's
set up was four prisoners sharing a 6-tatami mat cell,
fights are almost guaranteed to happen for so many
adults crammed together. It's common for them to
clash with each other until they're bloodied or in
some cases- die. Under the circumstances, Sasuke's
cell was relatively peaceful. He wouldn't consider any
of them friends, but no fights have broken out. Ganno
immersed in his art, Jiji and Penjura excited over
some combination on the dice. Sasuke looks out at the
dimly lit moon until the time it disappears over the
horizon. This is the cell's routine, every night.

- Hey, Sasuke’s also pretty good


- I'll let you go first.
It's the end of their turns, Jiji and Penjura try to
invite Sasuke to give it a go.
- No. - Sasuke answered briefly.
A small noise could be heard and Sasuke looks toward
the window facing the courtyard. The white light of
the moon suddenly blocked by some shadow. Perhaps
that giant beast, Agate is in the courtyard. Regarding
Agate, he worried Sasuke. Now is the time to
investigate, Sasuke thinks. Sasuke stands up to sit
down in from of Penjura.
20 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

- I changed my mind. I'll play.


- Wait what? Seriously? Finally!
- I don't have any cigarettes, so I'll bet on this
instead.
Sasuke reached into his pocket, pretending to look for
something, this is his new technique, kneading his
chakra at the tips of his fingers, making an
arrangement of atoms so that they are well
crystallized, finally taking out his hand and on his
palm, a stone red It is very large, almost as big as a
cherry. Everyone in the cell takes a second to realize
it's a ruby he's offering.

- What? Jewels? Is it real?


- No, no, no, lt's gotta be glass or something."
- No, no, no, it's gotta be glass or something."

Penjura and Jiji lean in closer to stare at the gem, their


eyes fixated on it. Sasuke stayed silent, neither
confirming nor denying its authenticity. While the
gems where physically tangible and real, it was
artificially made.

- Even if I win such a beautiful glass stone. What


am I going to even do with it? You can't have fun with it.
- You can't even smoke anymore since I took
everything in the last game. You shouldn’t even bet on your
turn for meal duty.
Sasuke took the bowl in his hand.
- You don't need the cigarettes and you don’t have
to change your job. | just need you to do one thing for me.
- Oh, a request?
21 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

- I'll tell you what it's about, later.


Sasuke puts the bowl back on the mat and pulls three
dice between the pair of men Sasuke lifts her face and
waits for Penjura’s reaction.
- What are you going to call? - Penjira asks.
- Three - said Sasuke as his hand returned to his
pocket.
Penjura juggled his three dice in his palm, apparently
hoping Sasuke would make the first move.

- Throw it away - ordered Sasuke, giving them the


first turn.
Jiji and Penjura look at each other as Penjura roll the
dice, while the dice stop...
Jiji and Penjura look at the dice and then turn to see
Sasuke, as his opponents turned to see the dice
Sasuke's hand was still in his pocket, he kept kneading
his chakra in the palm of his hand. When he rolled the
dice on the mat, the 3 dice flew together like an
imperceptible breeze, making a sound like a key
hitting the metal, the wooden dice rolling toward the
centre of the bowl.

- Are you kidding me...?


Three red circles upwards, Penjura’s jaw opened
abruptly, the game went just as Sasuke had said,
three. Jiji, Ganno and Penjura sat in shock as Sasuke
rose in silence and declared, "Win."
- Shit. You hit him after you rolled those eyes like a
snake. That's not luck - Penjura
22 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

protested, but Jiji punched his in the shoulder


as if to say, "just surrender.”
That's gambling in prison, cheating all the time, it's a
rule, nothing happens unless you get caught doing it
with your hands in the dough.
- Now, for that favour I needed, Penjura - said
Sasuke.
- Is it hard? Impossible?
- Relax, it's easy. - Sasuke made his way to the
door as Penjura rose from his place.
- Get out of this cell with me, be vigilant because
the vigilantes can come.
Penjura laughed at the supposed favour he asked for,
thought it was Sasuke's joke, and then started
freaking out when she realized Sasuke was serious.
This free time that prisoners had before bed was their
time to do anything, as long as they stayed inside the
cell. The moment you leave that cell, you break the
rules.

- I said I will. But how do you plan to do this? The


two of us walking would be obvious.

- I'll go alone then, but I'll need you to distract the


guards.
- You know if they find out you broke the rules;
they'll punish you without hesitation! And if Agate finds
you first, he'll eat you alive.

Sasuke calmly refutes “I'll be back.”


- I don't think it's a problem then... - Penjura
speaks.
23 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

There are two buildings, one in the east and one on


the west side of the courtyard. On the west side, that
building is the barracks where the prisoners sleep,
Sasuke travels the distance from across the street
from the courtyard to the other building in five
minutes. To the east is the main building of the
Astronomy Research Institute, for prisoners entering
this building is forbidden.
Sasuke, leaning on the front door, enters the interior
of the building when suddenly none of the doors are
closed, causing the doors to open wide at a touch,
there are long carpets with luxurious fibers that
welcomed you. The main building was like a different
world than the barracks of the west building, it was
built as a royal castle, a perfect fortress, with a height
of several meters above the ground, this building is
huge compared to the other places of the country. The
prisoners were only five minutes away, sleeping on
the hard stone floor with nothing but an old futon and
tears, yet all the hallways, stairs and rooms of this
main building are covered with soft carpets, the roof
it was lined with lacquered bricks, blocking any force
of nature, and a large chimney heating up the
building. When it snows, prisoners sometimes report
that icicles form in their cells.

Agate is above a common reptile, it's like a dinosaur


when it comes to reflexes, speed and its power. It's
probably best to see it as some kind of pet, as it
follows all the orders of the director, Zansur.
Originally there was no shinobis in this country, but I
heard that the prime minister has let the Shinobis
take over their position due to a war, if Zansur turns
out to be a shinobi, he could
24 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

be controlling Agate with some kind of technique that


links his chakra. Sasuke began to worry that he had
gone too long, Agate always walks the grounds of the
institute without fail day and night, as he performs
constant supervision of the prisoners for at least 20
hours a day.
Rumours spread that Agate was the result of Zansur's
invocation jutsu, could it even be possible that Zansur
could handle the chakra needed to summon an Agate-
sized monster? Perhaps the fundamental mechanism
for invocation of jutsu had been altered by the Shinobi
of Redaku, although jutsu originates in the land of fire
* step * step * step*.

The sound of heavy steps approaching filled the


corridor, the feet that were heard stopped, Sasuke
found the pair of yellow eyes floating in the darkness
behind him. From within the heart of darkness,
Agate's silhouette was revealed.
There was a voice "You're here." A wave of chakra
flooded Sasuke's eyes, revealing his visual prowess as
he lifted his eyelids. I prepare the rinnegan and its
sharingan, in a second, Sasuke's bright red eye
activates his jutsu, immediately dragging Agate to a
genjutsu. Agate, who had been thrown to the ground,
quickly stood up, throwing claws first towards
Sasuke. While Sasuke is famous for his speed, Agate
was just as fast, his claws slipped close enough to cut
a lock of his hair, did not fall into his genjutsu, Sasuke
deduced.

Sasuke dodged Agate, turning to attack the beast with


a counterpunch, Agate's body flew out, a wall stopped
a monster with a heavy blow with instant
25 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

force like a spring, Agate closes the distance between


them, his bright yellow eyes they met the bright red of
their naked Sharingan, but the result was the same as
Agate being immune to genjutsu. Sasuke jumped into
an opening just below Agate's chest. With a single
palm, he pushed himself into the beast's body,
propelling it on his back, his body waving to the
ground with a strong bone-breaking snap.

There was no point in continuing the fighting, it


would be dangerous to leave more damage to alert
the patrols, staying much longer in this main building
was a bad idea. In any case, Agate's eyes suddenly
opened, Sasuke tried to make some distance between
them, but the beast jumped on his feet to close the gap
between them, like that of a whip, Agate's long tail
shook forward as he leapt towards Sasuke. The ninja
recoiled, narrowly avoiding the attack, Agate had
been the closest to launching a deadly attack against
his opponent, was very fast using a water-style jutsu,
Sasuke begins to combine his chakra with his ice
technique making an instant kunai. With his eyes
closed, he amputated the approaching claw, stabbed
his torso and cut the kunai continuously "GYAH!"
Agate roared as he recoiled. His stomach began to
shed large amounts of blood and fluid, a terrible
wound that spread along his torso, so he began to
stumble again into a stupor. “I'm sorry”, Sasuke
thought, began to repent of his life-threatening attack,
being in the moment's impulse, but it was too late to
think so. As he staggered with each step, Agate ran as
fast as he could to a window, destroying most of the
wall as he tried to escape. Although he bled, he was
still powerful to disappear at once.
26 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

Sasuke bit his lip, saw he felt almost sick to his


stomach and looked down to see the palm of his hand.
He thought of his last attack and how deep the kunai
entered Agate's body, he feared he had taken a fatal
blow.
The next morning, Sasuke sat in his usual place in the
dining room, looking out into the courtyard, his eyes
suddenly opened when he recognized a swaying
family tail.

- Are you kidding? No way...


Agate looked up and noticed Sasuke out the window,
even with Sasuke looking back, could not remember
the events of the night before, immediately flipped his
face. Agate, he is still alive, there was no way for him
to keep breathing, there was not even a scar left on
his body, this cannot set possible, Sasuke struggled to
find some explanation, it is as if Sasuke was enclosed
in a genjutsu...

A voice came from behind, "Yei, you're the one who


tried to confront Agate, prisoner 487," the voice
grunted with a fierce enmity, was Zansur. They both
looked directly at each other without breaking eye
contact, there was no point in lying, he knew Sasuke
had had an encounter with his pet Agate. Anyway,
there's something Sasuke also wanted to ask you,
Sasuke's Sharingan was activated. His deep black eye
turned crimson red with 3 spirals that formed his iris,
so I can capture Zansur's gaze. Sasuke took a deep
breath, I hadn't noticed it before without his
Sharingan, there was a glass sphere behind Zansur's
glasses.
- An artificial eye...
27 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

- Great, great - Zansur looked at him with his eyes


squinting, the corners of his lips twisted into a smile.
- You noticed easily, even the subordinates who
are here every day for a long time with me have not even
noticed. - Zansur extended his arm, touching the window
behind Sasuke, he couldn't help noticing how natural his
glass eye looked, but now that's all he noticed no matter
how he looked at it, as the difference between the left or the
right eye was not noticeable.
- Then, you can use that various types of ninjutsu.
I'll keep it in mind, I won't forget.
He leaned toward Sasuke's ear, began to speak
whispering.
His left prosthetic eye rotates and moves like a
nervous animal that controls its surroundings.
- It's impossible to take Agate in front of me, when
I'm also a shinobi...
28 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE
29 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

The next day, the patrol gave Sasuke his first


punishment in his spare time in prison, the only
reason they gave him was that during the list pass his
left eye was covered by his hair which made the
guards angry. Patrol officers raised iron bars over
their heads, and almost happily, struck their reeds on
Sasuke's shoulder, crushing his bones, patrol officers
taking turns with themselves for torture. Of course,
normally there would be no way for the non-shinobi
to beat Sasuke as badly as they did, Sasuke did his
best to receive the punishment but it was still painful
and for him it was hard not to get angry. Since he
considered holding his tongue an act of
insubordination and defiance, bitterness decayed him.
No one associated with Sasuke was safe from the
abuse of the guards, Jiji, without warning in the
middle of his work, had also received some blows
with the iron bars direct to his stomach, besides all
this, Sasuke was beaten more than three times that
same day for absurd reasons such as when he had
whispered something to Jiji.

The director made his instructions clear to the guards,


point to Sasuke whenever they can. Since he was
never technically arrested or thrown into a more
security type cell, there was no way for anyone in
Konoha to break his coverage if he was mistreated, let
alone try to intervene.

Sasuke preferred to be mixed with the other prisoners


today to work, the solitary would not be so productive
after all, some of the prisoners were unknowingly
deceived by other people with their gossip of what
happened the other night with Agate, by what Sasuke
tried not to let the little
30 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

mistakes on something as important as his fight with


the beast bother him. As long as you are treated like
this, you will not show any signs of pain or remorse in
your eyes.
The director's impression of Sasuke should at least be
that he was not a weak man, at the end of that day,
eight different guards yelled at Sasuke and beat him
several times, which made his progress in his work
slow, even if someone wanted him distracted, he
wouldn't answer. The looks in his eyes were nothing
more than defiant and hostile, so they could see, no
matter how many times he was beaten, he would not
suffer any kind of injury, which would further
infuriate the guards.

At the end of the day, the guards who checked his cell
before bed would scold him as if he were a student
who had broken school rules, once beating him again
and joking about "his hair being too long." If all this
wasn't for Naruto, I'd have broken one or all of his
bones in one of these guards.
- Sasuke, it was all a disaster!
- Why did they all start aiming only at you? Both
Penjira and Ganno asked, they felt sorry for Sasuke.
It had always been common for guards to beat
prisoners for totally stupid reasons, yet it was always
the shy ones who trembled with fear, those who came
to prison and tried to act rebellious. Sasuke does not
meet any of these criteria.

- That's none of their business - Sasuke said.


He though they didn't like it when he said things like
that, they could hear the tone distinctly
31 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

frustrated in his voice. Jiji began to intrude


independently:
- I heard the director, Zansur, had something to do
with all this. Don't you mind? Don't you like the guy whose
face looks better than his? Ah, you see? He's too proud.
The lights suddenly went out as soon as it became
noisy, it's bedtime, when the time comes, the lights go
out without any warning, and no matter what, no
matter the situation, they won't turn on again until
the other day ,even when the boy who was three cells
away at dawn died of a heart attack, the lights did not
come back on once. Jiji and the others looked for their
clothes in which they slept and changed, like the
sound of a clock, nothing will be succeeded but the
snoring of all those who sleep.

The hard work was exhausting on its own, Sasuke's


body was getting used to labour-intensive schedule,
once he was sure everyone was asleep, pulled the iron
bars and left the cell. On your wrist, a strip of red
cloth was wrapped, here that's proof that you have
permission to be out of your cell for some kind of
extra time or to go to the infirmary, while using it
Agate will not attack, even if you are clearly violating
the rules. There was a great chance that he would
stumble upon him walking down the cold and endless
corridors, he could hear a slight, as he walks towards
the fountain, making sure that his red cloth could be
seen around his wrist, placed on the edge of the wall ,
on top of a small steel cabinet intended for cleaning
supplies, it is almost imaginable what is happening
there, but you can't afford to ignore it. When he
opened
32 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

the door, he revealed a thin man with curly hair,


hands and feet tied with an old rope. sobbing as soon
as he saw Sasuke, his body became stiff, his wrists
tied in front of his chest were wet by saliva and the
marks of his teeth deep in the rope because he clearly
tried to untie the rope with his mouth, Sasuke hoped
he wouldn't do loud noises with Agate walking, the
closet would become his coffin.

- What are you doing here?


- Uh ... yo-yo. I was coming back from the
bathroom, this old man ... caught me here.
Sasuke pulls off the rope that tied man's hands and
feet, if you keep such violent people in an
environment like this for a long time, they will only
look for any way to revive that stress. They usually
target the kind of emotionally weak men, without
friends, or even those who are physically fragile,
which ensures they are close to death.
- Did you go for a red cloth pass? - Sasuke said

- Yes, but he took it.


Then Sasuke pulled out his red pass and pressed it
against the man, giving it to him, if he stays in the
hallway without a pass, there is a guarantee that
Agate will find him and kill him. He felt nothing but
sympathy for him as he looked at his back,
disappearing as he ran down the aisle. For Sasuke,
this was a mission, nothing more than a temporary
infiltration. For him, however, it was where he would
die, it was a cemetery. With the current pace of
progress, we don't know when the Institute's
telescope will be completed. The
33 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

probability of dying here before it was over was


probably about 100 percent.
I'm not good at seeing weak people. I never know
what to do. *Sound of footsteps behind him*, the
sound of hard claws when they hit the ground, a gust
of wind touches his neck, getting closer and closer,
pointing at Sasuke's back, a hand of sharp claws cut,
but did not hit him, apparently missed his target.
Growling and growling, he raised his head to watch
Sasuke stick his feet on the ceiling, raised his
monstrous tail in retaliation, struck a deafening shock,
as the tip of his tail destroyed the ceiling, when the
wood breaks and falls to the ground Sasuke descends
again, using the debris as a cover, for this reason he
could see well the belly of the beast, without scratch
marks.

- I cut your stomach centre so deeply last night.


That's quite resistance. Or were you simply replaced by
another lizard?
Without expression, Agate directed towards him his
claws, almost twinkling and rapid tears the air, but
Sasuke had already hurried under the beast's body as
he launched forward in his attack, kicked Menou's
chin covered with his hard flakes and then continued
to attack where he could all over his body. Before
landing a third blow, the long tail flew to one side,
Sasuke, with his high speed, caught his tail with his
right hand in the air, throwing it and causing Agate to
lose his balance, crashing against his back, Sasuke's
eyes stained bright red to test his visual prowess once
again, even using his rinnegan, but to no advise. The
illusory jutsu has no effect on him, Sasuke still could
not be sure if that was the case, Agate begins
34 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

to writhe on his feet, opening his jaws in an attempt to


bite Sasuke's head with rage, with his jaws heading
towards him , kicks Agate's neck to deflect the
incoming set of fangs, in the disaster of attacks,
Agate's right claw manages to rub his cheek as he
jumps, the skin of his cheek completely tore, but very
little blood comes out, Sasuke reached the sheath of
his sword which is hidden in it so that the guards do
not see it, Agare prepared to attack once more but
then withdrew, fleeing from him with an ever greater
distance. What are you planning? It's the moment
when he was preparing for a possible new long-range
attack, but everything became increasingly dizzying,
his body swaying as his consciousness faded, he
couldn't help but feel that lizard had done something
to him.

If you're close enough to notice, the lizard has fangs


on its fangs, sharp hooks protruding from its already
penetrating fangs, the four claws it had left in his hand
had been able to scratch the ends of his hair. Through
his growing vertigo, Sasuke had managed to dodge
slightly to his left to prevent the attack, desperately
trying to concentrate on what was in front of him as
the eye continued to be distorted.

Agate hits with his paw violently sending Sasuke to fly


against the wall. BOOM!
Sasuke could feel his heartbeat all over his body, his
knees almost bending under him.
- Aghh, ahh, aahh, aahh…
His gasp weakened; his whole chest felt warm from
fatigue. Through the white and cloudy field of view
35 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

before him, Agate's sharp claws become larger.


Sasuke lifts his sword with a blow and lowers it,
cutting in a transverse direction, the floorboards
below them give way to their damage (they break),
causing him and pieces of wood to fall to the bottom
floor. Agate jumps through the hole in the ground to
look for his target, looking around desperately.

As the lizard landed on the ground floor, Sasuke's


figure and any trace of whether smell had
disappeared.
- Ahhhh ... Aha... Has... Has... Ahhh…
Sasuke's panting was becoming rough as he ran
through the dark corridors, managed to lose sight of
Agate, but the growing numbness throughout his
body became increasingly strong, as he remembered
the time he was ripped in the cheek , I had never
heard of lizards with poisonous claws, that was
completely new, but the only thing I was sure of was
that it was under the influence of a poison, very
strong and not common.

- Ahh-ahh ... Uh...


His body begins to convulsive more and more, a
tremendous shiver washes his body like a tsunami,
the inside of his body is incredibly hot, he feels a
burning sensation, while the outside of his skin was
completely cold, even more than the cold that towards
in prison. In an attempt to drink something, he
amassed a little chakra in his palm to create water, his
hand was shaking so far to the point where it was
impossible to take it to his face to drink the water, so
he could not continue to knead the chakra either. All
the water ended
36 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

up spilling over his collarbone and coming down his


shirt.
- Ahha ... Ahhh...
His field of vision was mercilessly shaken, it was as if
someone had thrown fireworks at his head, he could
not ignore the hum in his ears, it was a disturbing and
loud sound that lasted until he finally went deaf.

This was bad, when it was a common poison, his


tolerance was unbelievable, as Sasuke had repeatedly
endured a lethal dose of various poisons, this running
through his body was extremely powerful, perhaps
even some unknown substance that is only found in
Redaku.

- Hh... Haa... hhh…


His breathing became increasingly shallow as his
throat contracted, dragged his unresponsive body to
the wall and began to collapse to the ground, his
breathing was difficult, his lungs did not take enough
air to follow conscious, his heart made a terrible
noise, it seemed that it was interfering with his ability
to breathe. His situation began to worsen with every
second, he suddenly felt a heart attack and began to
hyperventilate simultaneously. Any drop of water left
in the palm of his hand faded, so he lay down against
the wall, waiting for his symptoms to disappear. The
seconds that passed seemed like years, *clack* *clack*
It was completely frozen, the sound of distant steps
burst against the ground

- Shit ... someone's coming.


37 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

In his state, with such a hostile and dangerous enemy,


if he didn't move fast, he was a dead man. The steps
are getting closer and closer, Sasuke's eyes squinted
to try to focus his sight as it was completely blurred,
his body refused to move more, he could do nothing,
no matter who approached him, there was nothing to
do so he held his breath and waited for the steps to
approach.
The steps that hit the stone floors of the room
disappear, after a moment, someone moved behind it,
consciously Sasuke had reacted, but his body did not
follow him (not a centimetre moved). A hand
stretched from behind and covered his eyes activated
with the sharingan and rinnegan, was a soft hand, so
Sasuke gave a little panic, fingers covering his
eyelids... recognized those hands.
"No, don't be an idiot, she's not here” , that's not
possible he tried to turn his head to look back, but his
body was no longer strong, he was about to fall back,
suddenly his body was trapped, trapped by a body
that knew perfectly, to which he was already used to
it.
- Silence, Sasuke- Kun, you'll be fine - It was
Sakura's voice, his wife.
He laid Sasuke on a bed in the medical room, his
agitated breath was still shallow, his heartbeat was
racing and vibrating all over his body, his eardrums
were still shaken but the unpleasant tremor of his
vision and the hums in his head had calmed down
Considerably. With the time he lay asleep, his arms
and legs returned to normal movement.

- How are you?


38 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

The curtain that surrounded each side of his bed


opened to reveal a face, his wife looked at him,
immediately began scanning and examining the sides
of Sasuke's face.
- Aah ... it seems like you're much better.
Sasuke slowly lifted his body, though with some
difficulty, still wanted to get out of bed,
- I still feel a little dizzy, but at least I'm already
recovering. - He said, but what mattered most to him was
asking him why Sakura is there.

- In terms of symptoms, it's likely to be a type of


poison that affects your potential actions. Which inhibits
your entire system and chakra points, causes your energy
to fall out completely in minutes making your central
nerves go crazy...
- I was wondering if your body is not resistant to
this, the poison is likely to be unique in this place, which is
dangerous.
Sakura rolled his sleeve over Sasuke's arm, while
wiping the inside of his arm with some alcohol and
treated it sweetly as he had been made a habit with all
the children he treats.

- You'll feel a little pinch - pricked the needle in his


arm.
- Sakura… He watched as his blood filled the scale
of the syringe, he held…
- Why are you here? Sarada all right? Where is
she?
- All right, Iruka-Sensei is taking care of her. I came
to tell you that the mission has changed
39 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

- Mission changed?
As they spoke, Naruto suffered a disease that no one
knows how to treat, according to Kurama it seems
that the Wise of the Six Ways once suffered from the
same, but had recovered from that illness while
traveling through Redaku, so this is where the Wise
was healed , but no he doesn´t have idea of how, so
Kakashi was the first to infiltrate the capital of Redaku
to look for any kind of clue, but had long since been
out of Konoha, they did not receive any contact with
him, while Naruto got worse in a matter of days , most
of the relevant literature found was written in the
ancient language of Redaku, even with the
professional team of the academy having on hand
decoding would take a long time to decipher what he
said.
Therefore, the only information that had been found
was that the Wise of the Six Trails had stayed and
recovered here, at the Institute of Astronomy
Research, if we are too slow and with the symptoms
that Naruto is already showing, all of this could be too
late.
Sasuke, upon learning, arrived at the Astronomy
Research Institute without being told twice about the
mission to search for clues, as soon as he arrived,
Sakura followed him.
- As you were heading this way, we received a
Hawk from Shikamaru. It was about the description of a
book that Kakashi had found in the capital, so we obtained
information about the Wise of six Ways...
Sakura gives Sasuke a role, he was lined with
Shikamaru's extensive lyrics, (on the note): “The
40 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

Wise of the Six Ways whose body had been invaded by


an unidentified disease, had walked through the
Redaku region, where he met an astronomer, Tataru.
Although we're sure Tataru didn't have previous
medical training, he cured him, taking away that
strange disease. The night Tataru healed the Wise
there was a shooting star approaching Earth, from the
skies Rikudou Sennin caught the meteorite falling with
one hand, dividing it in two. Half the meteorite he held
in his hand crumbled in his palm, turning into dust for
stars that covered the Wise. We are almost certain that
this is how he was cured of his long suffering. As you
descend from the sky and divide the meteor with only
chakra, you will be given great power. Tataru had
called this power "Yuuri Koshiri, or polar particles".
Although there were conflicts between people over
this power, most of the meteorites/polar particles
entering the atmosphere were not detected, protected
by the brightness of the stars, and most people did not
pay attention to what happens by on top of them. If
Rikudou suffered the disease and searched Redaku for
this specific power, the story of this heavenly cure
should not be fiction, as it had a map of the stars he
had drawn, like a treasure map for the specific
meteorite he needed, but he was in some place
enclosed in the depths of the Institute. "If there is
anyone who suffers the same sickness as the Wise of
the Six Ways..." Sasuke reread Shikamaru's note three
more times as he mutters to himself. The key to the
cure is "polar particles".

According to the notes, this sage divided the "polar


particle" into two, one of which "fell to the earth
41 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

and hid in the sky" and the other "star continued to


travel"...
- This is just a guess, a hypothesis between me and
Shikamaru, but I think his disease is a kind of malfunction
in his chakra system caused by the tail beasts sealed in his
body, and whether the substance contained in these
meteorites, the particles Tataru have the power to cure
these symptoms...

- We have to make sure we get it! - said Sasuke


without words, but Sakura nodded and replied,
- New mission looks for that astronomical map
and get one of those polar particles, but first we have to
find out what that map is. A book, an image, something...
- I agree, I accept the change of mission, but I don't
know why you came here alone."
Sakura was almost insulted by her insinuation. She
wrinkled her angry face towards him.
- I'm a shinobi. I'll leave the village if I have to.

- You wouldn't have taken any chances... If you'd


sent a note with a hawk, you know you can send as many
messages as you'd like.

- I tried, but it never came. The falcon brought my


notes home.
- What?
This time, Sasuke was the one who frowned. It is rare
for a falcon trained in the village to fail to
42 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

carry a message, especially in these times of relative


peace.
- I don't know what was going on, but we
don't have time. It was easier to sneak in

as a doctor to tell you directly. Besides, if I stay


here, I could help you.
- It's not necessary. Go back to the village soon. It's
not safe here.
- Dangerous? - Sakura's face got serious.
- Do you doubt me?"
- I know your ability, but all I say is that I'm
enough here, and I know there's something in this Institute,
something more
alarming and dangerous: neither the director
nor Agate fall into my visual jutsu.
- That's one more reason why you're going to need
a partner here. High-ranking special missions can't be
solved with your strength alone.
He had to admit that Sakura was right, on the
battlefield, Sasuke has unparalleled strength, except
for the seventh Hokage, but this infiltration mission is
much more than fighting. When you want to get
information from someone, do things without being
noticed or hurting anyone, having a partner like her is
a big plus.
- In addition, the atmosphere here is terrible.
People are falling dead due to malnutrition and excessive
effort and no one sees it as a problem. I already have a plan
to improve this, and I'm about to propose to Zansur,
because I can't just sit back and do nothing when people are
dying like this. Both the
43 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

director and the guards think you're just


disposable workers!
- I must tell you not to do anything dangerous,
please. The director's a bad guy. What would you do if you
couldn't look away?

- I'm a doctor. I have a duty to the health of all


these people, no matter what.
When it comes to hard work, Sakura works harder,
that's how she is. After a brief glance at her, Sasuke
surrendered and sighed.
- I know, I get it. Just don't work too hard, okay?

- Of course! - said Sakura, as he smiled and looked


toward his desk.
- I'm going to send Sasuke-Kun's blood sample to
Konoha for now. I'll ask for more evidence in case Kakashi-
sensei wants you to submit a status report.
- Didn't you tell me falcon communication wasn't
working?
- Look at this!
Sakura whistled through her lips, in response, a small
falcon flew from the back room. Around his neck was
the red strip of cloth that the prisoners used as a pass.

- I think Agate pushed the falcon away earlier


because external communication is forbidden. This could
be our escape.
- I see.
By that time, they knocked on the door of the doctor's
office, although the time for medical check-ups had
already passed a few hours ago. The two
44 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

looked at each other, looking for an answer on how to


act.
- Sensei- are you still awake? - It was Jiji's voice.

Sasuke had not heard Jiji speaking in soft words as he


had done at the moment. Sakura touched Sasuke's
shoulder, pushing him towards the top of the bed and
quickly closing the curtains, when suddenly Jiji's
approaching sound grew louder.

- Hello -- Sensei? Are you here?


Realizing that his barefoot was noticeable under the
curtain, he quickly lifted his leg over the bed while
seeing Jiji's silhouette in the curtain.
- Oh yes, you're here!
- Jiji! What happened? Especially at that time, it's
too late... Sakura listens quietly
- Look, look at this. I completely crushed my
fingers while I was warming up yesterday. I got permission
to come here after telling a guard I couldn't sleep because
of the pain.
- Sit down here. What's your number?
- Prisoner 544.
You could hear his pen scribbling against the paper, he
was probably making notes on Jiji's medical history.
Treatment shouldn't take long, should it? Sasuke looks
at him from the bed, watching his shadow move,
decides to remain hidden until Jiji leaves.

- Sensei, do you smoke? That's my worst habit.


45 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

- I don't think I have a reason to do it, I'm a doctor,


remember.
- If you can get me a cigarette, I'll do anything for
you, anything. Even if you don't smoke - he began to beg.
- I have to disinfect your hand.
Sakura grabbed Jiji's arm and rolled up her sleeve to
inspect her hand and wrist, in front of Sasuke, as
Sasuke was watching the movements of the shadows
on the curtain. But not only was he watching the
movements, he was also listening to Jiji's behaviour,
about how he felt sore, so much so that he couldn't
sleep... He knew that his last statement was but an
excuse to see Sakura, in other words, he was
increasingly angry that Jiji came in here, with other
intentions. On the other side of the curtain, Jiji begs
for any kind of painkillers, for how feverish she feels
despite her lack of pain, and Sakura was there,
treating him with amiability and tranquillity.

- Hey, Sensei, you're not from around here, are


you?
- Why do you say that?
- I've never seen anyone with your name type, hair
colour, etc., it's the first time I've seen cherry blossom hair,
by the way it's pretty beautiful.
Seeing Jiji's hand move to caress a lock of Sakura's
hair, Sasuke eventually stopped holding back and
grabbed his wrist from behind. Sakura's eyes widened
in surprise.

- Hey, huh?
46 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

It was communed with the sudden appearance of his


cellmate, Jiji had to rub his eyes.
- Sasuke, where were you? What are you doing
here?
- Well, I'll ask you that question too, what are you
doing here?
- I wanted the kind doctor to treat me, you see I've
been hurt since yesterday, not much blood comes out
anymore but now it hurts a lot.

- That's a disgusting lie, - Sasuke said.


- It's hard to get rid of the swelling or infection, so
fast - Sakura said, then offered Jiji a small medicine cup
filled with green liquid.

- What is this?
- Medicine, an herbal infusion. It has antibacterial
properties.
- Ueeeeeeeh, what an unpleasant smell. I'll drink it
anyway because of the antibacterial effect, but I wonder if
this is a good reason to drink it...
- To answer your previous question, this doctor is
my wife. - Sasuke said interrupted.
Jiji spat at the medicine he had in his mouth and
looked with his mouth open, his eyes wide open,
looking at Sasuke and Sakura.
- Really? Wife? Sasuke's wife? Sasuke is married to
Sensei? It's a joke? I mean...
Aah?? Are you married?
- I never said I was single. - Sasuke said.
- Yes, I know, but guys like you aren't everything.
- How prejudiced you are.
47 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

- Well, but why is Sasuke's wife a doctor in this


place?
- I came to see Sasuke. - Sakura started lying,
there’s no visiting system in this prison, but I really wanted
to see my husband, so I decided to come here as a doctor!
- Hmm, I see, I understand.
Jiji looked at Sakura, seemed distinctly convinced, but
Sasuke seemed surprised, so he said:
- Aren't you surprised?
- Why should I be surprised? - Gigi looked at him
strangely. - It seems like normal couple behaviour, always
wanting to be close to each other.
- Jiji, this thing about Sakura being my wife has to
remain secret.
The cellmates left the doctor's office and entered the
long corridor. As he walks, Sasuke stabs Jiji with his
fingernail on his wrist, as he puts on the strip of red
cloth that Sakura gave him.
- I understand. If you were in a normal prison, I’d
be fine. But here it's different, if anyone finds out... Sensei,
you won't be able to stay here anymore... It's more I don't
even remember if Sasuke ever said he was married. - Jiji's
smug smile pulls her cheeks.

- You wouldn't have heard it.


- I mean, we always talk a lot. Because we are
always with our cellmates every day, the usual topics are
about the family, your goals, dreams, etc., are always
present in conversations. Of course, the issue of lovers
48 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

and marriages had been raised several times,


Sasuke, who was only infiltrating, avoided
delving into that subject.
- Jiji, don't you have a girlfriend?
Jiji's humour grew lighter and happily brought smiles
back to Sasuke.
- Aah, right now, she's working in the capital of
Redaku." Sasuke looked down at his feet, the floor that was
usually brown was white, it was the moonlight exposed
through a large window that was being reflected. - But she
got married, she cheated on me with a boy..." Jiji's words
came out a little grumpy.

Sasuke, who is often out of the village for long-term


missions, those words of Jiji frightened him.
- Jiji, do you think couples should be together all
the time?
- Yes, that's right. - His response was immediate. –
Sensei really must love you or she wouldn't bother to be
hired in a prison like this."

- No... not really. I tend to be away from home a


long time.
- How long are you away?
- Sometimes it's a short time, sometimes it's long
periods of time, there was once when I didn't come home
for several years."
- Are you serious? - Jiji's voice fluctuation changed
significantly
- A few years ... man, I guess after that period of
time, you can't be mad if some other guy replaces you in her
heart.
- Why do you say that?
49 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

- Well, it makes sense...


Sasuke turned his head to look at Jiji as his face and
tone washed earnestly.
- It is not as if I am leaving her, Sakura is necessary
in the village, and I need to be out of the country, it is part
of our work. We also exchange cards regularly, though...
- Yes, I understand but ... don't you think it would
be bad if there were more insects like me interested in it?
Don't they wear rings in your country? - Jiji looked at
Sasuke's face as his serious expression morphed into
concern. - If the couple gets too far away, they'll lose their
bond.

Sasuke didn't understand what Jiji was trying to say.


Sakura was his family, no matter where he was, that
fact would never change, he had never heard of a
family member who ceases to be of your family. Even
when he had such strong and negative emotions
towards Itachi, he was always his brother, no matter
what had happened in the shinobi world, he would
always be ready to call him his brother.

For Sasuke, Sakura was her family, her partner, whom


she always returned to when she arrived at the
village, they did not need a blood connection; their
feelings don't change even though they can't be
around each other often. Sasuke tries to think of a
way to verbalize his feelings to communicate it to Jiji,
but it would be too complicated and annoying, so he
changes the subject with a
50 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

- I see… Have you ever heard anything about a


book or something about an astronomical
map?
- An astronomical map? - after repeating the
words, Jiji bowed his head as to say, - I don't know… By
name, it looks like an astronomy document, it will probably
be in the archives. You can ask Penjira.
- Why Penjira? - Sasuke said, but when he heard
what Jiji said, his eyes opened wide.
- Well, Penjira is in charge of the archives.
51 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE
52 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

He cut through the courtyard that was painted with


the red sunlight that began to set, heading towards the
library in front of the main building. Only at this time,
after dinner, were the prisoners allowed to enter the
archive, when they opened the door wrapped in rusty
brass, found themselves with shelves so high that they
passed their shoulders, they were also perfectly
aligned, the building was Built entirely of sandstone
and laterite, which makes the ventilation of the multi-
story building a suitable place to store the documents,
which were covered with sheepskin, as they tend to
fade easily.

Man, it was cold ... The dim lighting felt bleak, as the
only light sources were small windows intended for
ventilation, illuminating the floor with perfectly
symmetrical squares as sunlight passed through
Sasuke, thinking he would be alone, but was they
could see the shadows of some other prisoners sitting
on the floor as they were passing the pages of the
books in their hands.
It was hard to believe that most prisoners even knew
how to read and write, he imagines that they were
probably looking at the photos for fun. According to
her plan, Sakura would be waiting for him in front of
the bookshelf near the south window, so Sasuke
began to approach her, even pretending to scan the
shelves in search of a book. As he wanders the
shelves, he's getting closer and closer. When he
reaches the other side of the shelf where Sakura is, he
pulls out a book to confront Sakura, but there is no
one around.
53 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

- The guy in charge of the file, he's my cellmate, -


He said.
Hiding his mouth behind the cover of the book he was
holding. There was a brief pause before I received a
response behind the bookshelf lined up with books on
the other side.
- Is he asleep at the table? Lanky, short hair...
- He likes to gamble. If it's a bet, it will. I'll go talk
to him first, wait a minute here, then come and help me.
- Understood - she replies, closing the book she
held in response, Sasuke walks towards him, his face asleep
in the pages of his open book. He's touching his shoulder.
- Hey, Penjira.
- Uhh--! I'm surprised! - Penjira's eyes suddenly
opened.
- This is unusual, Sasuke.
- I didn't know you were responsible for the files.
- Unlike you, my conviction is shorter. I'm trying to
become a candidate to get out for good behaviour.
- If you're a model prisoner, why don't you take
better care of the books? From a beautiful collection of
books, the pages of the book you were asleep in looked
smudged.

- Oh, shit! - the page tore as he tried to rub it with


his sleeve, then said – Aaah! my sleeve ripped Kabinaga.
- Kabinaga? - Sasuke asked
- This boy. - Penjira pointed to an image of a long-
tailed creature, its name says "Titan",
54 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

is difficult to read, considering the slime


puddle and its uprooted face, but it appears
that the creature was being compared to the
tree behind it.
- It's a book that contains information about a ton
of dragons and beasts that are extinct Even if you can't
read, the images are great. - Penjira said.
Sasuke quickly glanced at the book. Giant Beast:
Titan
A large dragon with an imposing neck and a large tail,
with about 30 meters in total, has been excavated and
found several skeletons of the stratum that expands
the Tataru Astronomy Research Center. Although
Sasuke was unfamiliar with it, the scholars have long
known of the giant creatures classified as "dragons"
that were once in Redaku, some even referred to them
as dinosaurs.
There must have been flat wetlands in the area at the
time, before earthquakes and the clash of technic
plates pushed the earth to form mountains. At that
moment, dragons and beasts were walking around
this earth.
- Do you want more books like this? – Penjira said.
- Actually, no, there's a book I'm looking for. A
kind of astronomical map.
Penjira's face had an expression that exclaimed: "I
have no idea. I've never heard of him, but if you can
find someone who can read, I could probably look it
up in the library catalogue.
- Yes, I can read - said Sasuke.
55 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

- Is that real?! ... You're so talented. - he said


admiringly that Sasuke could read.
Penjira's catalogues behind the counter were deeply
impressive, thick enough to be an encyclopaedia, the
corners of the pages were bent upwards, the
silkworm thread that bound it through the spine was
about to break in thousands of different places. As you
open the book slowly, you may notice that
handwritten characters were printed throughout the
page, their strokes were slid in different directions,
each sentence was a scattered disaster without any
form of organization, but the map description
heavenly caught Sasuke's attention immediately, as it
was written on the first page as the most important
document of the place.

- Underground archived
bookshelf... I-24 - after reading
its location in the library.
- Oh, the underground library- Penjira's shoulders
collapsed. "It's off limits. Basement is full of important
documents, every book there is extremely valuable, if they
discover that you entered the basement without
permission, let alone to take out a book, you will be
subjected to the highest form of punishment they can give
you.

That highest punishment was death hanging.


- I see, sorry to ask. It sounded a little interesting. -
Sasuke nodded slightly in response.
Sakura pretending to be passing by chance.
56 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

- Oh! Sensei! - said Penjira upon seeing Sakura.

- An astronomical map sounds interesting. Since


I'm at an astronomy institute, I could take the time to study
astronomy once and for all.

- There are as many other books as that. I'm sorry,


it's a shame that the document is forbidden...
- Let's read it in the middle of the night! It'll be our
secret! Can I borrow a key? - Penjira's face was confused
- Well, I'd love to read a book like that. Maybe it's a
romantic thing, maybe it's written about the day when a
meteor falls from the stars... - Sakura spoke innocently.
Penjira shook his hand to say no.
- Even if it's for sensei, I can't lend the key.
Punishment would rest on me, if I help you
- Ah yes? How about a bet? - said Sakura with
determination.
Once the game was on the table, Penjira's face lit up.

- We can play your favourite game, whatever you


want, whether it's chinchiro or hanafuda... But if I win, I get
that key from the basement.

- Yes, but if they find out, you say you took the key
without permission...
- As if the guards ever came here, I promise that as
soon as I finish reading it tonight, I'll give you the key back.
Sakura's hands are in a prayer position in front of her
face. "Please, please?"
57 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

Penjira's mind was worried for a moment, then he


murmured. "Ah, what do I d ... What should I do... Ugh,
it's okay! Play!
- That's the spirit! What are we going to play? said
Sakura quickly.
- Probably not chinchiro, because I just lost to
Sasuke and he's not even lucky. Let's play 'hoshinarabe'
- Hoshinarabe? - Sakura and Sasuke bow their
heads towards each other confused as it was a game, they
had never heard of
- It's something people play here. Let me get it all.
Sasuke took the opportunity to talk to Sakura while
Penjira disappeared on the shelves behind them.
- Sakura, you just have to pretend you're playing
with him. As soon as the game starts, I'll put Penjira under
genjutsu.
- Aw, that sucks, you're going to cheat - retorted
Sakura. Sasuke looked at her in amazement.

- In this situation? What are you saying?


- We'll be fine. Did you forget? I'm Tsunade sama's
favourite student."
- Wasn't Tsunade notoriously terrible at
gambling?
Penjira returned, wondering how he convinced him to
do all this, in his hand he carried a box covered with a
sheet of gold glued, the lid was lifted to reveal a deck
of cards with pictures on them, the cards were much
smaller than the size of the box which and contained
them.
58 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

- In hoshinarabe, you have 12 cards in your hand,


all you have to do is have one of each type of card. - Penjira
sat down and started lineing up a couple of cards.
- Months ago, these guys who cleaned the shelves
found it. Be sure to listen carefully to the rules.
- There are 12 different illustrations throughout
the deck, a white horse swimming in the sea; a cat looking
at the moonlight; a bonfire that burned with an orange
glow; a monkey engraving an image on the ground with a
stick; a shepherd staring at the stars through a crystal ball;
a cow in his cage looking out; a tree trunk with sap and
amber clinging to it; an ogre/giant (EAkyojin) born of the
earth; a turtle climbing the rock of a mountain; an old man
with his cane; a raccoon father with a raccoon boy playing
in the sand dunes and the twelfth, a frog with a slug coming
out of the swamp. The common theme of his 12 cards was a
person, an animal or a plant, with such vibrant and rich
colours, the back of each card also seemed to be the same
throughout the deck.

After closer inspection, the pattern at the back


appeared to be a lizard wrapped around a rock.
- Speaking of lizards, it looks a lot like Agate...
- I'm sorry, but what does Agate have to do with
any of these, I'm getting scathed of the subject, well there
are twelve different images, five of each letter, sixty in total.
First, I will deal six cards, from there you
59 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

can exchange the cards that have been dealt to


you, five times maximum. You win if the role
you play is the strongest," I explain. Penjira
pulled a piece of paper from the box
containing the rest of the cards, listed all
possible combinations of cards that made
a "paper."
- The strongest role, the "star" was composed of
white horse, shephard, cat, bonfire, giant and turtle. There
was something written on the bottom line, but the ink was
so weak and unreadable. The role of "earth", which appears
to be the next strongest, was composed of: the cat, the
bonfire, the tanuki, the frog and the slug, the turtle and the
elderly. In addition to "star" and "earth", there were other
roles such as "sunset", "burning fire", "sunshine weather",
"leaves", etc., but unlike poker, it seems that there is no
regularity in the combinations of each role, for beginners, a
need should be needed
a considerable amount of time to learn.
- Oh, is that it? All right let's do it. Sakura said in a
light tone, returning the role to Penjira.

- Sensei, are you listening? It's a game in which


you combine roles, beginners should really save this paper
so they can consult it and review their cards.
- I've already memorized it.
- What? said Penjira surprised.
Sakura sat in front of Penjira, as she moved her pink
hair behind her ears and Sasuke behind her, fixed her
vagabond posture and straightened herself. I'd been
trying to fix that habit anyway.
60 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

Sakura's almond eyes squinted like a cat's as she


looked at Penjira's face, as if trying to provoke him.

- Let's get started!


- Sensei, there's something different from you.
Penjira smiled at Sakura's change in attitude as she sat in
front of him.
- I've seen people who have changed their entire
atmosphere and personality when it comes to gambling, I
always thought those were the ones who had a problem,
that they should probably stop betting. Wasn't it a rule of
view to keep a serious face and never show that your
emotions change?

Sakura takes the letters in front of him,


- Yes, usually the second round has the loser
dealing with everyone, I guess that's not relevant to this
one-of-a-kind game.
Sakura handles his letters with a skill, just like a
surgeon's.
Penjira tries to observe her hands as best she can.
Dr. Sakura in her medical practice was practically the
only one who treated prisoners as human beings, by
this point she had already captured the hearts of all
prisoners, unlike the director who had finished many
of them just to subdue them too much work, inhuman
by the way. But recently something had changed for
the prisoners, now they had hope since Sakura
arrived in the prison.

But now, the woman's face in front of him was


completely different from the expressions of the
61 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

kind Sensei. Penjira chose her deck of cards, which


was nothing wrong, as she got the second strongest
role "Earth". He looked again at Sakura looking at his
hand, his face covered in a big smile.
There are a lot of smart people who like to play, you
know. Doctors are no exception.
Penjira threw three cards, keeping the old man, the
cat and the turtle, and took three more of the entire
deck between them. Then he gave a second tortoise
pull, frog, bonfire. Which was a good tug as with that I
was close to fulfilling the role of "Earth".

Sakura's turn was next, she throws a card and


replaces it with another card. His eyes flutter over
each card for a moment, then he throws one more to
replace it, in the second and third turns.
After a while, the prisoners who were in the library
also began to gather, as everyone is curious to see the
game. The next turn became the last turn Penjira
would throw. I was perplexed, the six cards I had in
my hand were: turtle, turtle, old man, cat, bonfire and
frog. If I had to pull one of the turtles and pull tanuki,
I'd complete "Earth." His only option really, he
thought it was to break the pair of turtles, the
combined cards provided him with a couple of points.
He thought about the odds of pulling out a card he
hadn't had yet, it wasn't going to be of any use. Well,
what do I do? Penjira thought, looking at her hand, her
opponent was a super beginner, but she said she knew
the rules, How likely was it that she really had such a
complex combination of "star" or "earth", she would
be lucky if she had a simple pair, maybe
62 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

even a Triplet. Let's throw away all the cards, except


the turtles, he thought, if I took out one more turtle, it
would be a threesome, even if it wasn't, it would still
have the same pair of cards and would have a good set
of points. It was impossible to force a "land",
protecting the points I had already accumulated, so
this was the right way. She was about to throw the
four cards, and suddenly his eyes met Sakura's in
front of him
- Maybe you want to think about what you're
about to do," she says softly as she tilted her head to one
side.
Penjira thought to himself about a change and
strategy. Aiming for a pair of three or two was good,
finishing the game with nothing and without
completing the "land", I was sure I would cry. That's
why he threw away a turtle and drew a tanuki, so he'd
fill out the role of "earth," but if he took out more than
that or something that wasn't in his hand, it was all
over. So, he decided to opt for the second option. After
her eyes confirmed the letter she pulled out, Penjira
almost jumped out of her seat.

- Thank goodness! A tanuki card. He had


completed the role of "earth.
- I have the cards I want.
Sakura also seemed to have gotten a part. This
completed all five shifts. Finally, the moment came in
this confrontation when every moment of the battle
was decisive, they spent deciphering each other's
movements and calculating their best play.
- Seeenseii-, don't cry, joked Penjira as she
stretched the cards on the table.
63 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

The glances of his audience were immediately drawn


to the six letters he extended. Realizing that it was a
complete "earth" paper with gasps shouted
- I filled “earth”
- Is that good? Sasuke asked the man next to him.
He nodded a lot. "This is the second strongest role.
The only way you'd win is if you completed
a star"
- It is unlikely that sensei will be able to complete
that role soon. So, he's already lost."

Sasuke kept looking at his wife's profile, he was a


defiant face.
Sakura's finger flips the first card in his hand. He was
a raccoon; some sighs came from his audience as the
role of "star" does not include the raccoon. This game
was a loss for Sakura, I guess such an outcome could
not be avoided in a game of chance.
Suddenly blood slowly falls down Sasuke's eye, he
was preparing to project his illusion in the library, but
at that very moment, Sakura, smiling broadly, began
to laugh, his fingertips flipping the remaining 5 cards
in order: Turtle, old man, cat, bonfire and frog. That
combination: "earth," someone in his audience
screamed. Cards of the same combination were placed
in two rows in front of them, Sakura's role was the
same as Penjira's "land".

Sasuke wondered how often a tie should happen. "You


cheated."
64 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

- Oh, you think so? Do you want to check my


body?" Sakura slightly extends her arms towards him,
tilting her head to expose her neck with striking softness.
Her cherry-coloured hair caresses her cheeks as her locks
behind her ears fell. At this moment she was watching him
provocatively with her big green eyes, causing Penjira to
run out of words.
Cheating is not disputed with the rules of the prison,
as long as the other party cannot point to the trick
used. Thirty minutes pass as they continue to play,
Penjira's back was drenched in sweat, behind the six
cards open like a fan, his pink lashes look back at
Penjira, a drop of sweat falls from his temples on a
card.
They have played five games now, 0 wins and 0 losses,
all games end in a draw, Sakura or the offense played
the same role in five times in a row, this should not be
possible. Someone is cheating here, Sasuke considers
her, staring at her as she touches a card but does not
seem suspicious, though the doubt is not gone either.

- "Now it's the turn... for you", Sakura's voice


resonates.
- "Let's finish this forever."
While praying for himself, Penjira extends his cover.
Old, shepherd, raccoon, raccoon, turtle, turtle, that
combination of animal pairs was called "Soujo Teia".
Penjira was no longer bothered by the strength of any
role, anything she would do, to lose and end this at
once.
- "Another draw, what are the possibilities..."
65 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

Sakura smiles and spreads the cards so she can see


everything, Penjira's body collapses with relief. Old
man, shepherd, tanuki, tanuki, turtle, turtle. Sakura's
six letters lined up like a mirror to Penjira's.

- "Pull...", Penjira's chest falls with a deep sigh.

- "What a great coincidence."


Sixth game. Sakura struck a bunch of letters on the
floor, smiling and laughing as she heard her little
noise.
- "Next game?"
- "No, I'm defeated" Penjira declared suddenly as
he rose.
They could play as much as they wanted, but the
result would be the same, I couldn't win or lose to this
woman. Penjira felt like a dog, exhausted just by
playing.

- "Finally, I've been waiting for you to give up, "


having said that, Penjira returns to the shelves and comes
back with a brass key hanging on her finger.
- "Here, the key to the basement library. Just give
it back as soon as you're done. If it gets lost, we will be
punished with the highest penalty to all in this library."
- "I promise to return it. Thank you."
When Sakura tried to take the key, Penjira withdrew
his hand and added:
66 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

- "Even if the title is in the catalogue, astronomy


books are not guaranteed to be stored there."
- "What do you mean? In that catalogue, it said
the book was here." "But it's not always necessary. I know
that some collections were managed in the Royal Palace
until they were well established, but a couple of books from
that area are missing."

He could have said that before, Sasuke shred him with


his eyes, so Penjira shrugged and said,
- "It's a terrible story," misinterpreting Sasuke's
look.
- "I wonder if the Royal Palace did not know how
precious the book was. A few decades ago, there seemed to
be a record of an ambassador from a country who came
looking for a book, nor did he return it."
- "Was it a particular book?" Sakura asks.
- "It was some forbidden book and it shouldn't
have come out the gates, but the former king loved the guy,
I think his name was Orochimaru."
The unexpected name caused Sasuke and Sakura to
look up, there was no possibility that that name
belonged to another person besides the snake they
knew. That absolute demon of a serpent man even
walked this country so far from the Land of Fire.

If that were the case, why the hell did they come
looking for Redaku, that night Sasuke waited for Jiji
and the others to fall asleep, leaving his cell
67 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

and entering the yard, he found Sakura in front of the


library.
- "Do you have the key?" Asked Sasuke.
Sakura shook the silver key next to her face and
nodded "of course!" They go down to the basement in
search of the map, hoping to find it without incident
by pushing the rusty brass door to open it and enter
the library. The door closed behind them, locking
them in the absolute darkness of the library which
had no light source, the two lit the chakra in their
palms, trusting in that one light they had, they headed
towards the back.

- "Hey, Jiji's sleeping well, isn't he?" Sakura's voice


asked.
- "When I left the cell, he was sound asleep. Why
do you ask?"
- "He comes to the doctor's office a lot, because of
a headache, a stomach-ache, there's always a reason. But
strangely I never find anomalies when I check it, so I think
it's an excuse to skip the job. Although I can't help but be a
little worried."

- "Yes, he's faking everything, that guy's always


full of energy," when Sasuke said that, he felt a wave of
unusual feelings in his chest.

No matter how hard Jiji tried, I couldn't believe


Sakura was his wife, that's what Sasuke wanted to
believe, at least... but in her head appeared words that
he had told her earlier: Don't you think it would be
bad if insects like me wanted to enter her heart?,
those words echoed along with an
68 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

unpleasant premonition in her head, stopping Sasuke


dry.
- "Hm? Are you all right?"
Sakura stops in amazedness, Sasuke turns to her in
silence, clutching her finger. Then he touched the base
of his ring finger and began to work with his chakra,
which gradually begins to materialize, transforming
into grains of sand and as he is wrapping them around
his finger, they take on a similar appearance to that of
Saturn's rings. The sand begins to come together,
changing to a silver colour with a scorching sound,
now the transformation is complete.

- "Keep this in your hand." He spoke while pouting,


Sasuke finally let go of his hand.
- "This."
Sakura extended his fingers, looking at the newly
formed ring that was now around his finger. The
band's silver shone, but a red gem in the centre
catches Sakura's attention, it's a ruby that looks
fantastic.

Both materials were produced by elevating the purity


of the substances contained in the soil nearby, Sasuke
seems to have made a makeshift ring with only
craftsmanship and liberation from Earth. The ring
that now surrounded his ring finger was the
testimony of his marriage.

- "Thank you very much!"


Sasuke began to walk gently, as if she could not hear
Sakura's voice, as she walked right behind him, she
pressed her hot cheek with the palm of
69 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

her hand, as artificial rings like these were always


something distorted, but this ring was well made, it
was almost perfect, it was very clear, bright and
indeed more beautiful than all the stars of the
firmament.
It almost looked better than those bought at
weddings, but this one was natural, it was a product
of Sasuke chakra control... Maybe Sasuke-kun, was she
jealous, she wanted to spit him out and ask him out
loud, but she knew he'd probably be less willing to
answer, he was opening up too much tonight, so I
decided not to say anything.

After a while of walking silently through the darkness,


they arrive at the door through the back of the library.
Sakura sank the key Penjira gave him into the lock,
the spring turned and opened the door with a click.

- "Yesterday, when you and Penjira played


Hoshinarabe..." Sasuke began uncomfortably as he opened
the door. "How did you do it?"

- "Oh! Well, uhm..." Sakura, who looked at the ring


on his finger, quickly lowered his hand to his side. "I wasn't
cheating, I was actually doing my best, my memory helped
me a lot"

Beyond the door is a staircase to the basement, lined


with descending tiles. Sakura went on to say,
- "Those letters were all very old. If there was a
broken edge, a noticeable scratch, or an image was slightly
different, it memorized everything on the cards when i was
reviewing their patterns."
70 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

- "The sixties?" exclaimed Sasuke.


- "Yes, but in the first round I was totally cheating.
I learned that skill when I was working with Tsunade-
sama." Sakura spoke, feeling nostalgic. "Tsunade-sama is
very bad at playing, but she hates losing. So at first, I was
careful to let her win, but then she kept playing all the
time ... but it's much less boring if she kept the game ending
with ties, watching her face fade until she let us finish the
round," she wasn't bored, she was afraid Tsunade would
win as it becomes a vice for her.
They had already reached the foot of the stairs before
they could keep wondering things. The shelves were
adorned with cobwebs, small rolls and large glued
between the other books, the documents were bound
looked in all shapes and sizes, for a lot of very
important documents under strict control, they did
not look as if the they will take good care of it.

In an attempt to search for traps, Sakura touched the


basement wall, releasing chakra on the surface of the
building, following the movement of the chakra he
infused in the building he could gain a rough
understanding of the entire structure.
- "So, is that?" He mentioned
- "What's the matter?"
- "It seems that there is another room, behind that
wall."
Sakura turned his gaze to the back wall, where the
main building stood, as she closed her eyes to
concentrate on her chakra flow. This was a
71 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

technique to explore the structure of buildings by


moving the chakra through inorganic materials,
exclusive to Sakura, since she was a complete teacher
in the control of the chakra.
- "There's a spiral staircase, connected to the
director's room, fourth floor."
- "The stairs in the main building shouldn't be
lower than the first floor... are you saying there's a hidden
room, covered by a single wall in this basement?" Sasuke
asked. Since that second basement could only be accessed
from the director's room, the point of the hidden room.
- "It's suspicious, they're probably hiding
something important."
- "We'll investigate that later ... there's a lot of
hidden things very well here."
Sasuke was curious about the existence of this
mysterious second basement, but now was a better
time to get the astronomical map.
Sakura's hand left the wall as she wandered between
the shelves, looking for the bookshelf in the catalogue.

- "This is it! The astronomical map."


On the shelf labelled, Sakura pulled out a huge deep
blue book, the cover was dyed with primitive mineral
pigments, making it rough to the touch, the back cover
was adorned with the words "Astronomical Map" in
gold.
- "I hope this book gives us some clues." Sakura's
hand turned the solid cover as she muttered to herself
72 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

- "Sai?"
Sasuke looked at the page Sakura read behind her, as
she unwittingly muttered the name of her friend
Konoha. It was an inked painting, an image of a
raccoon father and boy playing on the sand dunes
drawn with soft fluid strokes. As Sakura's face
approached the pages, she sensed a smell of adhesive
mixed with burnt oil.
She knew that smell of her missions with Sai, her ink
paints were made by diluting the ink with oil and
water, that was Konoha's method of painting. She was
sure that this method of painting to produce ink
should not exist in Redaku.
- "Is this book ... originally made out of the
country? Is it possible that a person from outside Redaku
came to illustrate?"
- "The person who came here from abroad, stayed
here a long time ago..."
The same person appeared in their heads, was The
Wise of the Six Ways, he painted the image here, then
took the technique back to the Land of Fire to
transmit it to this day. Looking at the facts of the
Institute of Astronomy, this theory would not be
impossible. The ink painting of the raccoon on the
dunes was on the first page, on the next page it
featured a giant, the next a bonfire, then a cat, a
monkey, an old man and a shepherd. After moving to
the last page, Sasuke confirmed with a murmur:

- "The same images as the game of Hoshinarabe."


73 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

The father and the raccoon boy playing in the dunes,


the giant born of the earth, the orange bonfire, a cat
looking at the flame of the lantern, the monkey
drawing with a stick, the cow looking from his cage ,
the old groper, the old shepherd looking up at the sky,
the turtle on a rocky mountain, the white horse
swimming in the sea, the frog and the slug coming out
of the swamp, the trunk of the sap-covered tree. There
was no doubt that the ink illustrations were
consistent with Hoshinarabe cards. "But I don't
understand, what do these twelve paintings have to
do with the existence of polar particles?" the hand of
Sakura who had been tracing the ink-stained paper
stopped.

After closer inspection, small dots were scattered


around each image drawn with the tip of a brush,
some paintings, such as the tanuki and the turtle, are
drawn so that the dots and lines overlap, as if they
were all connected like a puzzle...
- "The dots connect!"
- "This isn't just an ink painting, it's a
constellation."
- "Constellation?"
- "If a pattern of stars, they are willing to look like
plants or animals. Look, it's also in Konoha ... Taurus and
Aries. Sasuke you were born on July 23, so you'd be a Leo."
While explaining, Sakura opened a page with the
image of the slug, five small dots are zigzagged in the
slug antenna.
- "Look at these five points."
74 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

Hokuto Gosei is the name of the five-star constellation


that can be seen from spring to summer. It seemed to
be consistent with the lines and dots drawn in the
picture.
- "¿... spring to summer. This slug, does this
constellation represent a place?"
- "As there are 12 ink paintings, I think these
constellations represent what you can see in the sky every
month, from January to December. For example, if we
classify the constellations in order, we could find some
clues," Sakura explained.
- "Classifying? That's going to take some time."

Redaku is so far from Konoha that the stars above


looked quite different. Sasuke frowned as Sakura said
softly,
- "Oh, all right" and looked at the materials that
were piled into the room.
- "There are a lot of records of astronomical
observations here, if you give me two days, I think I can
figure out the order of the ink paints of the observation
records sorted by month. I'm pretty trustworthy."

Sincerely impressed, Sasuke set the astronomical map


on a podium. If I left it to Sakura, I knew she'd be
absolutely capable of ordering the paintings. More
importantly, he thought of the paintings on the card,
remembering each animal selected for each card.

The giant
The raccoon
75 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

Cat.
Monkey.
Cow.
Turtle.
White horse.
The frog and the slug.
Sasuke felt as if he had seen these faces somewhere
before, somewhere else besides Hashinarabe's cards...
somewhere a long time ago, I had seen something like
the old man, the cat, the turtle or the monkey.

- "Sasuke-kun, did you find anything?"


- "No, it's nothing ...", while Sasuke tried to close
the book, he noticed something was stuck to the back cover.
- "Hmm"
A paper folded in half that had a short sentence with
some characters crossed out. There are more stars,
what a mysterious and cryptic description, however,
it was not the text that attracted their eyes, but the
figure drawn below, as it was a figure of a character,
they were accustomed to seeing.

In Konoha, whoever wore this emblem was


recognized as a full-fledd shinobi, even using it in the
most prominent place in the whole body, Sasuke
recalled learning the meaning of the symbol in the
academy, coming from the shinobi practice of place
leaves on the head to concentrate the
76 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

energy. The symbol of the village of Konoha


representing the swirl of fallen leaves.
- "What ... why is the Konoha brand here?"
They looked each other in the face again, both without
words. The emblem of his village was discovered in a
place as remote and distant as the Institute of
Astronomy, even existing in the astronomy
documents written long ago. Prayer about star
growth, the emblem of Konoha, the Institute of
Astronomy, neither Sakura nor Sasuke could find any
explanation, anything that links these three wildly
distinct elements.

The next morning, in the corridor leading to the


dining room, Sakura carried sheets of paper firmly in
his hands, moving down the aisle to an empty table to
spread all his papers to go with Sasuke. It was
yesterday's astronomical map ordered by month, he
was able to study the observation times and each
constellation at night.
- January the raccoon playing in the dunes.
- February the cat looking at the flashlight.
- March the turtle on the rocky mountain.
- April the monkey drawing on the ground with a
stick.
- May the white horse swimming in the ocean.
- June the frog and slug in the swamp.
- July the trunk of the tree covered with sap.
- August the cow aimed at the cage.
- September the Orange bonfire.
- October the giant of Earth's giant
- November the shepherd staring at the sky.
- December the old man with his cane.
77 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

All animals comprise January until August, September


was the bonfire, October the giant, and November and
December consisted of humans.
Behind a page was a brief note: tomorrow, in the files,
1400...
78 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE
79 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

Even today, prisoners head to the workplace with


exhausted faces.
- “Every day, I was struck by the sunrise, and I
went out to work after eating the served rice. When the sun
set, I finished dinner and bathed and returned to my home.
It may seem like a life without freedom from the side, but
everybody had their own play, sewing between the fixed
schedules. Something that frees you from the rule of
power.”

For Penjira, gambling is the case, and for Ganno, the


drawing on the nails is. And the game for Jiji is a game
of shifting shifts.
- “Oh, yes. I'll hit it today.” Jiji shouted up his
hands as he heard the sound of the floorboards in the
hallway.
- “It’s been ten days in a row”
- “I cannot be foolish about Jiji. It’s the first time in
three days that I ’ll be able to see him in the evening.”
Concentrate on fingernails. In the evening, I will
decide whether or not the fox will go around to see
the dormitory-next time it will be a man or a woman,
it will be a castor that will not be poisonous or
medicine, but Jiji's expectation As I was wondering,
Ganno and Penjira were paying attention to how long
this record would last. Unlike patrols that show a fixed
face at a fixed time every day, the tour of the frog is
capricious.

- “The animals were all right. The hobby of the


lover was riding, so I'd like you to tell me a lot”.
80 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

Even though he is fond of banging, he is an avid


person and he also doesn't like seeing spears.
- “Jiji, you play games on Agate a lot. Aren’t you
scared?”
- “Idiot, it’s okay.”
- “Agate will not attack you unless it violates the
rules."
It seemed to be a real guard, and it walked to the
crotch, and the agate showed the appearance.
- "Look, look," Jiji said, and he picked up a branch
of the tree that Ganno was taking the place of a brush.
It is held out from the gap of the iron bar, and the leaf
tip is shaken toward the agate. Agate's gaze turns to
the branch. As the branches moved, the yellow eyes
swayed.

- “Come on.” Jiji whispers amicably.


Agate slowly leaned toward the iron bar. She cries her
throat and rubs her nose against the tip of the leaf. It's
like a cat is spoiled by a cat.
- "It really came over...". Penjira muttered.
- "Eh- Why?
- “This guy often curled up under the tonsil tree.
It's not like I’m going to eat the fruit. I'm sure you like the
smell. I'm probably going to get to you, I’m going to touch
you, and I'm going to look at you” Penjira jumped, turning
his gaze.

- "Eh!? What?” It jumped up.


81 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

- "You are insane. There’s no way he’s going to


restrain himself… and I’d like to keep my arms!"
- “Sasuke, come to try it.”
- “I’m in trouble if I lose my arm.”
With a sigh, Jiji looked to Ganno.
- “I’m sure it’s ok…”

Ganno put up a brush while sitting up. Gently put out


the sunburnt and thin arm through the gaps in the
iron grid. The pointed fingertip extended to the flat
forehead. Boil a hard skin like a scale a few times. The
thin eyes of my niece became round and rounded.

- "Oh... It's amazing," Penjira said with a round eye.


- “Sasuke, do you want to do it, too?”
- “No, knock it off." Sasuke shook his head when
Ganno asked him.
If you remember that Agate was cut off by Sasuke, you
might be able to find it in return.
- "I'll give it a try...”
Penjira stood up. Seeing Ganno's success, he wanted
to do it himself.
- "Come on," Ganno gives Penjira a place.
Penjira grabs the bars and sticks out his hand, his toes
slightly protruding from the invisible border of the
room and hallway.
Before Sasuke could move, Jiji who was nearby,
grabbed Penjira’s shoulder and pulled him back as
Agate leapt forward, crashing into the iron grid of the
82 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

cell door, Agate’s claw knocks over the lantern sat on


the floor.
- “GYAA- hnn!”
Agate screeched, covered in the hot oil of the lantern.
Immediately turning to scramble down the hallway in
escape. While the lantern was shattered into pieces,
the flames fortunately didn’t burn out into the
freezing floor.

Penjira was flung back from the bars came back to,
face still drained of colour.
- “Holy… That was scary…”
- “I was the one that was scared, idiot”
Jiji's head was burned, and Penjira was finally out of
her mind, and she began to tremble.
- "That guy... Why did you jump on me all of a
sudden? I was just quiet until the last minute.”

- “Your foot, your toes left the cell." Sasuke replied,


picking up pieces of the dish.
The free time before going to bed is free to do
anything as long as you are in the cell, but it is against
the rules the moment you step out of the cell.

- "Well, that's not what you're doing. You can put


your hands out, but are you not good enough?”
- "You can't 'get out of the room'. I wonder if the
standard of "out" is whether the foot was on the floor for
agate," Said Jiji, nodding, convinced.
83 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

- "That's right. Thank you, Jiji. Without you, I’d


have died because of Agate. When it was oily, I screamed so
much.!
I'm wasting precious oil indeed. Ganno crawls on the
floor, and the spilled oil is sucked into the half paper
now. Sasuke poured oil back on to the plate and set it
on with a staggered spark when he couldn't see the
surroundings because it was too much trouble to use
the flint. The orange flame shakes in the tip of the core
where oil was inhaled. Associated with the shadow of
the fire, Sasuke thought of Naruto in the village. And,
it is nine. Did you guys do something? There was a
great sound." Sasuke's eyes were sucked into the
flames of the row light, as Jiji and Penjira matched
their backs and cheated that they had just had a fight.
There was the one with the motif of the bonfire in the
constellation of twelve pieces. It was coloured in the
colour of the orange in the picture tag of the star, and
it was just like the colour of the body hair of nine
though it was one colour in the astronomical picture.

The form of the flame that burns up seems to have


spread the tail of nine - as if Sasuke blinked and
stared at the light of the line light. A small orange heat
and light that licks oxygen and keeps life. The small
flame in front of you is not similar to the bonfire on
the picture tag. Only colours are the same. The orange
of the light of the combustion reaction, which binds
with oxygen. The orange thing that exists in this
world is not only the flame. Is the constellation in
September drawn on the picture tag really a bonfire?
What if that's not a bonfire, but the tail of nine foxes?
84 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

It's a tail beast. Fourteen o'clock. Archive. Sasuke, who


had missed work and met Sakura on a bookcase on
the west side, said so at the opening.
...... What? The main subject of the preface and the
pillow word are skipped all of a sudden. Sakura, who is
used to Sasuke's straightness, also took a breath of
reaction. "It's about the constellation of astrographic
drawings. Ten of the twelve constellations represent
the tail beasts. The parent and child of the raccoon
who plays in the sand mountain is one tail. The
guardian crane of the tail beast in the appearance of
the monster raccoon. The cat who stares at the flame
of the Cantera travels again of two tails. The turtle that
climbs the rock mountain is the sea cares of the three
tails. The monkey who paints the ground with the
branch of the tree is Son Goku of four tails. The white
horse which swims in the sea is the king of goo.

The frog crawling in the swamp and the dog of six


tails. The seventh constellation is the trunk of a tree.
"Nanao's shigeaki was a helmet worm," Sasuke said,
referring to the constellation, spreading a celestial
drawing on the reading table. If it sees well, there is a
big emptiness in the middle of the trunk, and the
helmet insect crowds in the sap which hangs there.

- "Yes, it's a good thing. This constellation


represented a helmet worm that was not a tree itself, but a
helmet worm that flocked there."

The pot that the cow looked at might have


represented the pot of the octopus. What looked
85 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

like a bonfire was a fox with nine tails. The back of the
nine-tailed figure of The Nine. And the constellation of
October - the giant that is about to be born from the
soil - is Toshio. "And then, the other two are-- an old
man with grey hair with a cane, and a shepherd
looking up at the starry sky.

- "Rokudo Hermit and Astronomer Tatar"


It is said that it is just before the death that Rokudo
Sennin divided the chakra of Ten o into nine, and it is
after the celestial picture is drawn. It is not clear
whether the appearance of the tail beast of nine is
related to the animal of this constellation chart.
Anyway, the six-way hermit will have adjusted the
number of the constellation purposely to add me and
the Tatar to ten beasts, and to become twelve. The
same calendar as the present was used from that time,
and it matched the number of months, or does the
number of twelve have any other meaning?

- “So, Sakura. What's the matter you called me to


the library?"
- "You know, I had a chance to sneak into Zansur's
room. Today, there's a messenger from the capital coming
to this institute.”
- "Yes, I know some of the prime ministers of The
Great Buddha, getting some information from Kakashi. He
is planning to join the Queen Manali and wage war on other
countries. What is the use of the prime minister to send the
messenger purposely to the director?!

- "This is a chance. I'm going to meet with Zansur


under the guise of a messenger."
86 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

In front of the main gate of the Astronomical Institute,


which finally arrived, Fundal took off his dirty cloak.
In front of you is a high wall that blocks the view. And,
it is a sharp main gate which was defended many
greatly by the iron bar. The whole brick building is
dull in grey in the damp sunlight.

It's time for dandelions to bloom around the capital,


but this area has nothing to do with the arrival of
spring. Just breathing in the air destroys my mind. It
was decided in the mind that it returned quickly when
the message which had been entrusted from the prime
minister was passed, and Hundar asked for the
succession.

- "Welcome, you're here.”


I thought it would be a tough one, but it was a young
woman who showed up. Because of the colour of the
cherry blossom-coloured hair and the eyes of the
midoritama colour, I feel that the stagnant air
suddenly gorgeous.

- "Ah... From the capital of Reoda, I have brought a


message from the Prime Minister to The Director Zansur.
It's a bureaucratic fundal," Said Hundal, who showed the
woman a cane with a sculpture of a stupid hawk, a
testament to the official envoy.
- "I'm here," the woman continues with a smile.

- "I'm sorry to hear that you're tired from the long


journey, but could you see me right away? Zansur is busy.
Now, I’m just having my hands open, so I'm being guided
87 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

by a woman and walk into the main building.”

- "What kind of business do you have from the


Prime Minister?” It was heard naturally in the tone like the
small talk, and Fundal twisted the neck,
- "Come on! I don't know the details either.
However, I have been told by the Prime Minister to ask us
about their progress. What is the progress about?”
- "I don't know. If you say that, you only know.

- “You don't hear anything about the luggage or


letters you carry, it's the basis of the envoy.”

- "Is this the first time you've seen Mr. Zansur?

The woman asked more questions about whether she


was careful not to be silenced.
- "Officially. But when I came to the palace, I saw
you a few times. When was the last time Mr.
Zansur visited the capital? When I visited the
Prime Minister and came to the capital. My
wife works as a samurai woman at the Royal
Palace, and she was assigned to take charge of
Mr. Zansur."
It was a large room on the third floor that I was
passed through, and as soon as I entered, the smell of
dust swept into my nostrils. Here and there, perhaps,
the tool which is used for the astronomical
observation is lined up. It's like a clock-like disk with
a combination of gears, or a model of a mysterious
star surrounding a red star. Given that this is the
Astronomical Institute, the
88 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

existence of this room is natural, but it is not visible in


the drawing room through the guests at all.

- "Well, Mr. Zansur...”


Anxious, Fundal looked back at the woman who had
brought her here.
- "Now, I’m going to come," ton and someone
slapped him in the neck, and Hundal lost consciousness as
he slept. Sakura, who had changed just like Fundal in the art
of change, put her hand on her waist and looked back at
Sasuke. Then it's Sasuke-kun's turn.

- "That's more certain."


Sakura pretends to be the messenger of the Prime
Minister, meets With Zansur, and earns time while
drawing out information about the astronomical
drawing and the prime minister's plan. At that
opportunity, Sasuke goes to the basement and
examines the situation. We deal with the unforeseen
situation by ours self. Hundar puts the phantom art
later, makes it to meet Zansur, and returns it to the
capital.

- "If it were to change, I wonder if this would be it,"


Sakura offered, it was the wand that Fundal had. Because
the chakra is consumed to change the size, it is better to
turn it into the one as close as possible to the height of the
original Sasuke.
- "This is it..." It is more difficult to change into
inorganic materials than to turn into a person. I've changed
my hand-back sword,
89 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

kunai, etc., but this is the first time I've ever


had a cane. Do you want to try?
After touching it several times and checking the
material, Sasuke kneaded the chakra. pong, that little
pop. Sasuke's body turned into a cane, and he rolled
to the ground with a dry sound. It's perfect, it's picked
up by Sakura. It's kind of weird, but at any rate, I’m
done with it. After that, it is a match which went out.
While poking the floor with Sasuke which became a
cane, Sakura mimicked the movement of the body of
Fundal and went up the stairs. The door of the
director's room which was large is knocked lightly
and it calls. Zansur, who appeared, invited Sakura into
the room without any doubt. For Sasuke, who often
serves missions outside his home, the strategy of
working with his colleagues is fresh. It is easy to put it
in the bosom of the enemy who had entered alone.
Zansur urged Sakura to sit on the chaise longue, and
he sat on the armchair in front of him.

At the back of the room is a desk with a modern design


that is not like the country. This is Zansur's study. As
far as I’ve checked in the chakra, there must be a
bedroom in the back of the study separated by a row
without a door, and somewhere in the bedroom, there
must be a door to the stairs leading to the basement.

- "Is the Prime Minister a good winner? I haven't


seen him in over six months," Zansur says to Takaya,
leaning back on an armchair.

- "I'm fine. Queen Manali, too. It's about time I got


used to my official duties."
90 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

- "Oh, my! Looks like it's starting to rain.” Zansur


stood up and turned to the window. Sakura threw the cane
at the glance.
The cane slipped on the long carpet with out of sound
and stopped in front of the boundary between the
study and the bedroom.
- "It's not raining”
- “You're right,"
Zansur sits on an armchair, with his back to the cane.
Sasuke solved the art of change without sound or
vibration and returned to the original form. I sneak
into the back room with the sign off, enter the blind
spot by the wall, and check the state of the whole
room. on a wooden bed, a bookcase. A white copper
door is built on the back wall. It becomes a complete
view from the study when standing in front of the
door unfortunately though that might be the entrance
to the basement. Sasuke looked at the state of the
study with a little.

- "I heard that there is a serious water shortage in


the capital. "It's like that. I don't realize that the royal palace
has a priority to feed,"

Zansur says, turning his back on Sasuke and talking to


Sakura. ...... Can you go? Sasuke dared to show off his
figure and confronted the white copper door.
I hope Zansur accidentally forgets to lock it, but
unfortunately the door doesn't work. Can't help it. Can
you force it to open? There are many ninjas who use
ninjutsu for picking, but the method varies from
person to person. Kakashi often melts the
91 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

metal portion in the heat of the fire and opens it by


force. If it is a deer ball, insert a thin, stretched
shadow and turn the cylinder. Naruto rotates the
keyhole in a very small turbulence. Sasuke, who is
good at fire and reclusion, often takes a method of
melting the lock itself with heat, but this time he
decided to take another method because he didn't
want to leave evidence. I look back at Sakura and send
a signal to make some more time. In response to
Sasuke's gaze, Sakura leaned toward Zansur.

- "Actually, I've seen Mr. Zansur before. You were


able to visit the Royal Palace last summer. At that time, I
was allowed to say hello once. Last summer, it was about
the time the former king passed away. Queen Manali is still
young, and the Prime Minister will be very busy. ......
Speaking of Prime Minister, now it's time to ask what
you've been doing here. Oh, but there's only one thing
before that. The samurai woman who took care of me when
Mr. Zansur stayed is actually my wife. Don't you
remember?”

My wife's characteristic is... While Sakura was making


time for small talk, Sasuke put his fingertips in the
keyhole and kneaded the chakra. The disocclusion is
formed so that the shape of the keyhole is exactly
right, and an impromptu joint key is made. You can't
make anything as complicated as a library key, but
fortunately the keyhole in front of you was the type of
thing that had been replicated before. However, it
does not go like when the ring was made to Sakura. A
delicate chakra operation is necessary to firmly
92 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

harden the fragile soil and make the key according to


the shape of the keyhole inside.
- "It seems to have been a good experience for my
wife to be in charge of Zansur. I was very grateful."
- "Please tell me that you have taken care of me.
Rather, I’d like to ask you about what you need to do from
The Prime Minister. I'm sorry, I've been talking to you for a
long time. It often receives the scolding from the prime
minister when talking too much though it is a
communication post. I think it's because I grew up in a
family with six older sisters. My grandmother and mother
love to chat.”

- "Mr. Hundar", The voice of Zansur is steep. "Let


me ask you something"
- "Oh, yes," Sakura, who changed to Fundal,
shrugged his shoulders without getting any worse.
- "It's strange, but this is just one word. How is
progress going?"
- And ... I don't know what to say. It's going well.
Please tell me that if you ask, you should be able to send
your forces in a few days in a matter of days if you are in
the capital, and in a few days. By the way, the 'war power' is
how much?
- “You're just a communicator, aren't you? I can't
give you specific numbers. Well, don't worry, the Prime
Minister knows”
While Sakura is earning time, I managed to generate
the key. It was folded completely from the root when
turning it while inserting it in the
93 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

keyhole. Wasn't the strength insufficient? I put my


tongue in the cross, touched the broken cross section
with my finger, and kneaded the chakra again. It was
not in the pattern, and it was a little hasty. I don't
mind if it's my own mission, but this time Sakura is
with me.
- "You asked too many questions. I'm very sorry.
By the way, Mr. Fundal. What happened to the cane? "Cane"
- "When you entered this room, you had it, didn't
you? I can't seem to find it, but..."
The soil which changed from the chakra sticks tightly.
The cross section of the broken key obtained the
conviction that it was sufficiently bonded, and Sasuke
turned the key again. This time it didn't break. But.
The sound of the spring going up has sounded.

- "I'm sorry.” Zansur tried to look back, and don


sounded without putting his hair in between. I was
surprised at the sound and returned my eyes. Sakura hit the
floor with a real cane from the cloak.
- “If it's a cane, it's here."
When Sakura caught Zansur's attention, Sasuke
opened the door and slipped his body. It's pitches
black. It's dusty, damp, and filled with mouldy smells.
The stairs were spiralling from the foot as soon as I
saw the flame of the reclusion fiercely. This is the
entrance to the basement. We don't have much time.
Sasuke killed the footsteps and went down the stairs.
It blocked the hand that the iron door went in the
place where it got off for about five floors by the
experience. The instant
94 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

key is made and unlocked in the soil as before. I gently


pushed the heavy door and the cool air came through.
In a row, the sound of wings fluttering. ...... Birds?
"Koketsu" It's a chicken.
He comes up to me waving his tail, and he surrounds
Sasuke in no time, and he pokes his shoes and legs.
Forty- No, there are fifty. Why are there chickens in
this place? Unlike the sultry spiral staircase, the
basement seemed to have an open ventilation port
and ensure a minimum of ventilation. The slices of
vegetables left in the messy food box seem much
fresher than what the prisoners are eating. There is
plenty of clean water, and it is obviously bred by the
hand of the person. By the wall, there were piles of cut
out rocks. On the surface of the rock, there is
irregularity like a snout sculpture, and the soil of this
is stuck on the surface. It had been seen to carry a
similar rock to the prisoner when working outside. In
the basement, Sasuke stood in a state of confusion.

Chickens and rocks piled up in large quantities. What


the hell is this place?
95 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE
96 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

It was four days after the messenger of the prime


minister came that Sakura had received the
transmission from the hawk which had been Kakashi.
It seems that the prime minister of The Reoda
Country joined hands with Queen Manari and invaded
The Village. In contrast, his younger brother, Nanara,
is said to have decided to take power in a coup.
Kakashi says he's going to help Nanala. The
messenger from the Prime Minister came to Zansur to
hear "progress". And, Zansur answered to the
messenger that "War power" was able to be sent at
once. Naturally, the power of Zansur would be to
support the prime minister's army. But-- where on
earth is the power of this far north laboratory?

At any rate, it summarized the current state in brief,


and the reply to Kakashi was tied to the leg of the
hawk which wound a red cloth. It takes the mood by
making the piece of dried meat attached as a reward
of only the mind to the beak of the hawk which
sounds dissatisfied when it is made to rest for about
one night, and it sends it back to Kakashi. On his feet,
Sakura headed to the dining room. It's just dinner
time. A line of prisoners lined up in the table extends
to the back of the corridor for a long time. I was going
to tell you about kakashi, but I can't see Sasuke.
Ignoring the unreserved prisoners' gaze, he sat down
at the window, and Sakura put on a cane. It's full of
things I don't the relationship between Zansur and
The Prime Minister. The power of Zansur. The
location of the polar particles. The meaning of the
celestial drawing with twelve constellations. The
chicken that Sasuke found in the basement and the
rocks piled up by the wall.
97 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

Even if only fragmentary events are collected, the


whole cannot be seen easily. Maybe you don't have to
worry about the basement. For example, raising and
carving chickens is simply a hobby of Zansur.
- “I don’t know.”
To Sakura leaning against the chair, an older man
called out.
- “Sensei, can I sit here?” from the opposite side of
the table.
- “Sure. Go ahead”
In the same bunch as Sasuke, he is a strange person of
the hobby to draw a picture on the nail. Ganno
glanced at the outside view as he moistened his throat
with a poured out pouring from a blackened tea
bottle.
"It's already dark," Sakura stared at the sun falling on
table, returning to the small talk with "yes." The light
of the ray red sunlight colour which shoots from a low
place is clear and seems to be scolded by the hand.

- "I've always thought that sunset was about the


sun setting."
Looking out the window, Ganno said with a scare.
- "But it's not really. This ground we're on is
spinning away from the sun on its own, isn't it? I thought it
was moving more in the sky, but I was surprised when I
first found out. I'm just going to focus on people," Ganno
said, squinting calmly and glanced at Sakura's hand.
98 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

- "Doctor, you're wearing a ring today. Are you


married?”
- “When I'm at work, I often take it off because it
gets in the way."
- “I can't see you very much without working in a
place like this. What kind of person is your husband?”
- "It's kind," she said, but she wanted to say more,
adding,
- "And he is a very pure person."
It inadvertently gets knocked out when thinking
that it does not understand who anyway in Ganno.

- "Sometimes, he’s too straightforward and frank,


making trouble for himself and the people around him.
When he thinks, he always goes from one extreme to
another... But what he likes. He always looks so cool and
handsome, but he never takes advantage of it. For that
reason, he never has clue about how much people like him
as well, even here. Although now and again, I get worried"
- I see, Sasuke’s a lucky guy.”
- “Eh... No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, Oh, no, no, no, no, my husband,
that..."
- “That's him. He always sat in this seat and
watched the scenery outside. But lately he hasn’t done that
at all. It's been a while since you've come. ...... I've always
wondered what Sasuke is looking at, but I finally figured it
out today. I wonder when the flowers will bloom in that
tree all the time.”
99 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

- Huh? Flower? Well actually, more than that why


is my husband Sasuke-kun…”
- "That’s a beautiful colour of hair. Take care of it,"
Ganno said, smiling like a father who would let his child
hold a windmill, and went away without any further
explanation. The left cherry in the head is full of question
marks.

- What's wrong with my hair?


Looking out the window, Sakura looked for the tree
that Ganno was talking about. There was only one tree
with flowers on it. A small flower bloomed a little on
the treetop of a modest branch. The pale pink petals
are very small, and if they blink, they will lose sight of
them. Staring at it for a while, I finally noticed the
meaning of what Ganno was saying, and Sakura turned
red to his ears. Sasuke was waiting for the cherry
blossoms to bloom. It is not a cherry tree to be exact
but seems to be a kind of tonsil which blooms in the
high ground. Come to think of it, it's natural. Cherry
blossoms don't bloom in places like this. Sakura, who
returned to the medical office, smiled at her face when
she noticed that her expression on the tongue indenter
was unravelling. Maybe it's Ganno's mistake, but if
Sasuke reminded me of himself when he saw cherry
blossoms -- I'm so happy. Cherry blossoms, for the
same reason, are decorating their favourite flowers on
the work desk. The camellia, who was casually
attached to an empty bottle, had fallen from a hedge in
the courtyard. The camellia reminds me of Sasuke. The
flower sprouts at the tip of the stem or has only two
choices. I always think that the place where it is
extreme and there is no hesitation is the same.
100 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

The bottle with camellia was wrapped in orange. The


sun is about to set. - No, as Ganno said, it's rather us
that it sinks. Even if it knows, it inadvertently feels that
it is the sun to sink inadvertently. Sakura laughed
bitterly when thinking about such a thing and thinking,
and it was a doctor disqualification. For scientists,
including doctors, it is very important to look at things
objectively without subjectivity. In that sense, the
action of Tatar who drew the astronomical picture is
not so scholarly by associating the raccoon and the
monkey from the line of the star. Just because the
sequence of stars seen from the ground looks like a
raccoon or a turtle, there will be no astronomical
meaning. However, i felt that Sakura could understand
the feelings of astronomers who played with stars and
associated with the shape of animals. It might be a
similar frame of mind that Sakura inadvertently calls
to the cell cultured with the petri ray every day. As we
face each other every day, we feel close ness and want
to play. The reason why it observes it is man with the
subjectivity even if the other party is inorganic. It
might be the same reason that the name of the zodiac
is attached to "Mark" that Shinobi connects. Sakura
tried to join hands in the shape of a child in front of
her chest. This kind of shape has nothing to do with
animal mice. However, because it is inconvenient if
there is no name, shinobi of ancient times named this
assembly for convenience as "Child". Because there are
twelve kinds of how to assemble a basic hand to tie the
mark, it might have been just good to apply the animal
of the zodiac. Thinking about it, Sakura suddenly
raised her eyes.
101 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

The Zodiac... Twelve? "Ah, i'm sorry. Kicking the chair


and standing up vigorously, Sakura ran out of the
medical office. The bottom has already been swept
away in the sky of the nightfall where the cloud
scatters. Sasuke was forced to sit on a brick roof and
harvest apricot fruit. "When you're on the lookout for
a round, you're inevitably going to be all the way to
me," said Gigi, who picked up a single from the pile of
branches in front of her.

The small fruit that fruits heavily is twisted with the


teatime, and the fruit is carefully brought out so that
the skin does not peel off. She picked up the fruit that
Gigi had released, and Sasuke was dexterous with one
hand, and had a dusty skin with a tight cloth. On the
roof of the main building, Gigi and I are two people.
I'm in the middle of the rest of the work ordered by
the tour. Sasuke, who is still a target for the tour, was
nominated as a matter of course, and the other was
chosen by Gigi, who often paired up with Sasuke.
"This is the guy who came from the capital. The
apricot tree doesn't grow around here. There must be
regular rations from the Royal Palace. I wonder if it
eats only by the director or the tour.

Damn, "Eat now", and Sasuke pinched one beautiful


one from the mountain of apricot where Mi was and
threw it into the mouth. "You don't do it. If you find
out, you won't be beaten again." Because of the
climate, the acidity was quite strong, and it was easy
to eat it to Sasuke who was weak though it was sweet.
With her shoulders stiff, Gigi stood up and spread her
arms out and stretched out. Chasing the point of a
flashy movement,
102 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

Sasuke looks at the distant scenery. It is a very deep


place in the mountain. Like a diorama made only of
sand, the ridge line of the rock surface of the
protruding surface intersects like a geometric
pattern. I noticed that the colour-closed landscape
continued as far as I could see - and at the foot of the
cliff where the institute was built, an orange maggot
was falling. No. The magatama does not reflect the sky
so clearly.
- "Was there a lake near here?" said Gigi, who
looked ahead of Sasuke's gaze.
- "Oh, that's it. Because it is a small lake, there are
a lot of people who do not know existence, too. It's
transparent, there's no fish, and I don't have anything to do.
It would have been a meteorite to build rainwater in a
crater that was made of meteorites a long time ago."

Sasuke proceeded to the edge of the roof and looked


into the lake below. The lake, edged by a pear-shaped
curve, celebrates the colour of the evening, and stands
quietly reflecting a thousand clouds like a mirror. It's
as if the evening sky was poured into the depressions
of the earth. ...... Empty?

- "It's a little reddish at this time of year, but when


you look at it in the daytime, it's blue.”

- I don't know which is empty."


- "Gigi" Sasuke pressed the branch of Apricot,
which was held in his hand.
- My stomach hurts, so I round up the work. Do the
rest by yourself.
103 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

- "I'll take my next cooking duty," Sasuke replied,


returning his heel.
- "Hey, where are you going? Gigi's protest goes
through her head. I have to let Sakura know as soon as
possible. One mystery that goes with the astrographical
drawing was solved.

"Ah" Just around the corner of the stairs, Sasuke


matched Sakura. Both had disappeared the sign, and it
was almost bumped into the encounter head, and
before it became it so, both of them pulled one step by
the reflex sword.

- "Sasuke-kun, it was just right,"

Sakura said excitedly and took Sasuke's arm.


- “I've solved the mystery of the astrographical
drawing.” The arm is pulled as it is, and it enters the empty
room. Sakura hid the voice as soon as it became alone and
cut out.

- “Do you remember? Sasuke nodded that Rokudo


hermit divided the polar particles in two and hid one in
'Star which went around without leaving' and the other in
'It got down to the ground and it was empty'. There was a
description in the document that Kakashi obtained. Half of
the polar particles were hidden in the sky that descended
on the earth, and the other half hidden in the stars that
went around without leaving. If you want to know where it
is, play with the astrographical map. Rokudo Hermit is the
father of chakras. It's natural to think that you used
ninjutsu to
104 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

hide the polar particles. And to solve ninjutsu,


you need a seal. In other words, ......
What was hidden in the astrographical
drawing was a sign to get the polar particles."
A note is written in the letter of Sakura

- "First of all, look at this. And the zodiac, in


chronological order, I waved the number from the first
place, respectively"
1 child/ raccoon, 2 fish/ cat, 3 tiger/ turtle, 4 rabbit/
monkey, 5 dragon/ white horse, 6 snake/ frog, 7
horse/ tree trunk, 8 goat/ cow, 9 monkey/ bonfire, 10
rooster/ giant, 11 dog/ shepherd, 12 pig/ old man.

- “I see ... the twelve constellations and the twelve


zodiac signs.”
- “I traced the characters in line, and Sasuke
nodded with no doubt. The reason why the shepherd and
the old man were added to the 10 species of animals and
the volume was increased to 12 species was to match the
number of the 12 species. But with this alone, I don't know
the specific sign.”
- “I have another hint. That's a star.” “A star?”
Sakura continued to nods small.
- “'I played with celestial picture' ...
- “I don't think this is funny. It's just a constellation
drawn on the celestial picture, but you can play with it ... I
wonder if it was a part of the picture. Look, a box with a
star-shaped picture card, it was very big, and there was a
lot of space. "
The large format "Astronomical Picture" is also a size
that can be accommodated.
105 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

- "The strongest role in starlight is"Star", the


second strongest role was"soil". I think that the stars
represent 'the stars', and the Earth represents 'the Earth
and the sky'."
- "The star was certainly a collection of six pieces
of white horse, shepherd, cat, bonfire, giant, turtle. By tying
the sign of the zodiac corresponding to these six pieces,
polar particles can be obtained.
White horse, shepherd, cat, bonfire, giant, turtle as
well as six picture tags that make the role of 'star',
and if you apply the zodiac according to the memo
made by Sakura, it becomes “dragon, dog, ox,
monkey, rooster an tiger.

- If it is “Soil then ox, monkey, child, snake, tiger


and pig” This is probably the sign to get the polar particles.
- "Now I can solve the mystery of the star chart. It
became clear what to do,"
tracing the note writing with his finger, Sakura
continued with a serious expression.
- “But I don't know where to start. The sky is
falling on the ground, the stars are not separated,"
- "What do they mean? " “the stars are falling on
the ground; the stars are on the ground”
- “yeah............what?”
She was told that she was too exposed, so Sakura was
convinced for a moment, and she noticed it and raised
her face in a hurry.

- "It has a star in the eye.”


106 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

Looking back at Sakura's face, which was startled


with her eyes curled, with no expression, Sasuke
quickly walked out of the room, saying,
- "I'm going to pick you up after the lights go out
tonight." It was fine that night and I could see the stars well.
Sasuke knocked on the window of the medical room at
the time as promised. “Follow me” he said shortly,
jumping from the height of the second floor to the
ground at once, looking up as soon as possible.
Without understanding the reason, Sakura took off
her lab coat for the time being and flew out of the
window. I disappeared, crossed the pass, went down
the cliff behind the site, and after a few minutes down
the rock, I opened up my sight. A small lake that
appeared in the crater appeared at the destination.
Sakura stopped and took a breath. "Wow ...!" The calm
water surface reflects the night sky perfectly like a
mirror. Sakura was scattered with the beauty of the
scattered light, and they forgot to breathe.

- “It is called Roku Lake after the name of Rokudo


Sennin. “
- “Let’s get down to the ground... literally, there
will be no better place in the meaning of the starry sky
above the ground.”
Sasuke explained, I passed Sakura's head cleanly. The
flat blue lake water embraced the entire night sky,
and the moon with shadows in the shape of the reeds
shook the reeds at the bottom of the water and sways
at the lakeside. Everything in this place is quiet and
modest, and it seems like a real sight. There was such
a place behind the
107 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

laboratory. In the first place, there were few


opportunities to go out of the medical office, so I
didn't know that there was a lake, or even that such a
starry sky was spreading on my head every night.

- “Beautiful ……” Sasuke smiled and watched


Sakura's profile shining like a child.
- “I wanted to show it to Sarada too.”
- “Yes, that child, recently interested in the
universe ... I went to the Science Exhibition at Kengakuin
with the guys. Child read the description of the moon and
stars all the time.”
- “Is there such a thing?
Sasuke touched Sakura's hand. I feel that the
fingertips of Sakura, exposed to the outside air and
getting cold, are becoming a little thinner than in the
memory. I'm sure there are a lot of moments that I
miss because I'm not together. Even if you don't have
a ring or you can't always be together, Sakura is still
your wife and family. I think so because I was taught
by my best friend. The most important thing is bonds.
There is a connection between Sakura. Even if we
don't meet every day, it's an irreplaceable partner.
But... Even if you think so, but still, sometimes, there is
a thing that suddenly becomes lonely. It's a long-term
mission, especially when you're not able to return to
your village for a long time.

I can't hear my voice when I want to hear it. In such a


case, if there is something close to you that can be
seen in a visible form, such as a ring, will it make you
feel a little easier?
108 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

- “Sakura” Sasuke shouted out loud. "Do you want


a ring? When I go back to the village ...
A normal guy said...” Sakura understands
Sasuke's intentions in a messed-up word
order, and Sakura says
- "No ..." Thought. “I've always wanted it, but
maybe it doesn't look good in my hand.” Laughter and hold
your palm up to the moonlight. Hands roughened with
disinfectant are proof that Sakura has helped many
patients, and it is also Sasuke's pride. When I went to work,
I liked the eyes of Sakura who became serious. A polite
hand to treat the affected area and a place to lightly roll
arms before pouring the chakra. After the examination,
Sakura always leaves a note for herself in addition to the
medical record. Every time I saw the enthusiastic figure of
her research, she was also glad to feel that she was trying to
develop her village in a different way from herself.

- “I...” Sasuke said slowly, staring at the lake in


front of him. "I've never been worried that someone might
take my place while I was gone. Never once... But
sometimes... It is frustrating, and there is a thought. When
you come home after a long time and Sarada is growing
taller or your hairstyle has changed, there are times
when...”
- “I feel the same way... Sasuke-kun's wrinkles in
his eyes, when was it done?”
- “Do I have wrinkles” Sasuke said.
- “When you laugh, it is a little bit... It’s cool and
you feel good.”
109 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

- “You are the same” Sasuke touched Sakura's


eyes.
- "Even if there are more wrinkles,"
- "Well," Sakura dropped her gaze, laughing as if it
were not too rough.
- "What's the matter with you all of a sudden? Did
someone tell you anything? “No, I just wanted to say it”
- “really?"
- “I want you to know that," she laughed as she
looked through her eyes.
- "I know Sasuke well, so I'll be fine,"
I think from the bottom of my heart that I wish I
could always be next to Sakura. But the reason
why I couldn't do that was because of the different
roles they played. Sakura is needed by people in
the village, and Sarada have dreams that can only
be fulfilled unless they are in a tree-covered
village. And Sasuke doesn't know how to help
Naruto out of the shadows on a mission in an
undeveloped area. Sakura put out the card of the
star base from the pocket. It is the six pieces that
make the role of “soil".

- "Let's get the polar particles quickly and go back


to the village “
- “Oh"
While looking at the pattern of the picture card,
Sakura checks the mark. Sasuke suddenly noticed the
pattern on the back of the picture book. A picture of a
lizard resembling agate that intertwines with rocks.
Also, on the cover of the celestial picture, a picture of
the same motif was drawn.
110 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

- "...... Why is it a picture of a lizard?”


- "There will be no lizards in the constellation of
asteroid drawings,"
Sakura nodded convincingly, checking the back of the
picture card. Maybe this isn't lizards and rocks. It's a
dragon and a meteorite. Meteorite?
- "In the old days, there were a lot of dragons
living around here, and it was said that they were extinct
because of a meteorite collision. It might be unrelated to
Rokudo Sennin because it was tens of thousands of years
ago, but... there was a description in the book that Penjira
was reading that the fossils could be found in the geological
layers here.

- …... Fossils?”
Sasuke's brain in the basement, a huge piece of rock.

- “What if that was a fossil of a dragon that a


prisoner dug? And if Orochimaru, who had taken books
from this country, was the same person as the serpent man
he knew.”
Sakura crossed her hands in front of her chest. While
checking the drawings of the six cards, slowly, one by
one, and tie the mark. A dragon beast destroyed by a
meteorite. Fossils and chickens collected in the
basement. And then, the art that Orochimaru was
researching--the reincarnation of the defected land.
The three were lined up, and Sasuke felt the trembling
of his back and legs.
111 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

- “What if Zansur’s aim was to resurrect the Beast


from the fossils?”
Based on DNA taken from the fossils, a direct
descendant of the bird is sacrificed, and the Damned
dragon beast is reincarnated-in theory, it is sufficiently
possible. The starry sky suddenly disappeared from
the lake. The surface of the water is so wide and wavy.
If you raise your eyes sharply, Sakura had finished the
mark next to you. The surface of the water shone
brightly, and the pillars of light radiated from the
bottom of the lake with dazzling eyes that could not be
opened. Slowly floating in the centre of the pillar, it is a
bamboo vessel that has been sealed over and over
with amulets.

- "Is there a polar particle in this?"


When Sakura reached for a half-trusted hand and took
the vessel, the pillar of light vanished and quickly
returned to the original landscape. He touched the
surface of the scary amulet, and Sakura hurriedly
retracted her hand.

- "A great amount of chakra..."


Just by touching it lightly, it certainly came the
pressure that pierced the skin.
If it is not a great use, such a chakra will not be able to
be put in the amulet. This is probably the polar
particle sealed by Rokudo Sennin though it does not
go because the container is opened carelessly indeed,
and the contents are confirmed. They finally
accomplished the mission of obtaining the polar
particles.
112 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE
113 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

With Gaagaa (?) and a high-pitched cry, and the


resurrected wing endlings fly over Sasuke's head.
Tongue in cheek at the number of ten that did not fall,
Sasuke stopped the foot which had begun to run
toward the laboratory.
- "Sakura- You go to the lab and find Zansur!”
- “Sasuke-kun!?”
Chasing the Wing Dragon, the first step is to catch
those who can fly in the sky. It is not possible to catch
up even Sasuke very much if it becomes scattered and
it runs away. Nodding, Sakura runs to the laboratory.
Sasuke tried to use the Susanno to ascend to the sky,
but before that came from the other side.

- "I was here, 487th"


from the back of the wing dragon that landed, and
descended to the ground with a flutter, and the smile
which was the same as usual floats a smile which can
afford.

- "Zansur..."
Sasuke glared at the man in front of him.
- "You're the one who brought the dragon beast
back to life. What's the purpose?”
- “I wouldn't tell you that. More than that, I have
something to ask you.”
Sasuke was thinking about how to tie the seal to
Zansur as the conversation continued.
The troublesome thing is his eye prosthesis. No
matter how much eye contact with the glass eyeballs,
it does not affect the pupils. Is there a
114 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

way to make a painful mark and force a mark? It


depends on his loyalty to the Prime Minister whether
or not to break his mouth with torture.
- "You don't seem to know your position. You're
just a shinobi from the country, but I'm a state power."
- "Reincarnation is a forbidden technique.”
- “Reincarnation of the earth?”
- "In your country, do you call the ban on reviving
dead things?"
Apparently, the technique he is using is not exactly
the same as Sasuke's knowledge of transmigration.
Suddenly there was a loud noise behind. The sound
that something collapses. Probably part of the
laboratory jar was crushed. Did Sakura have arrived
safely? As Sasuke glanced over the cliff, Zansur's eyes
moved in response. This movement is still visible. The
surrounding information is obtained by some other
method, not as a function of the eyeball. Sasuke
listened back to Zansur.
- "Your purpose is to use the resurrected beasts as
weapons. To support the prime minister's conspiracy. You
know that. I wonder if there are your friends in The Village,
too.”

- “Isn't it all that they killed here?”


- “What are the problems?”
Zansur, who had a relaxed smile, suddenly became
serious.
- “It’s natural to die. Those who are still alive
while violating national laws. Actually, I don’t want to put
them in the belly of
115 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

precious dragons. If it is not a plan of the


minister, who will do the job such as garbage
management, I am a person who should be the
power of the state and the brain of the
country.”
- “No!”
Zansur, who was getting excited as he talked,
screamed hysterically when he pushed up the lens of
the glasses that had slipped down and stopped on his
lips.

- "Who will come to this place unless it is for the


minister?"
Apparently, loyalty seems to be thick. It seems
unlikely that you will break your mouth when you
have painful eyes. …… Something, another hand.
Activating the Sharingan and directing the red
emitting eyeball to Zansur. After confirming the
amount of chakra that surrounds Zansur's body,
Sasuke shook his eyes. The amount of chakra that
flows through the body of Zansur is no different from
that of ordinary humans. He is not a shinobi. He is not
the one who uses reincarnation. What does it mean? If
it’s not Zansur, who is the Dragon Beast?

- “What did you do? The complexion is bad.”


Zansur grinned the face that was not excited. The next
moment, Sasuke felt frightened behind and flew away.
A spider's fang crawls the edge of Sasuke's clothes.

The gliding wing dragon jumped up with the collar of


Zansur.
116 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

- "Agate, I'll leave the rest to you. Get rid of him!”


The reason why Zansur came to me on a wing dragon
was because of agate. Sasuke confronted Agate with a
Sharingan eye. Orochimaru and Kabuto manipulated
the subject by embedding a tag in the head, but the
head of the Agate did not seem to have it. After all, it
seems to be a technique of a mechanism that is
slightly different from Sasuke's understanding of the
imminent demarcation. Come to think of it, the
techniques used by Orochimaru and others have
improved what the second Hokage invented?
However, the point that the reincarnate is immortal is
probably not different from the undefiled
reincarnation. To stop Agate, it must be restrained,
not killed. For example, a black flame that does not
disappear until the object is burned out - "Amaterasu
l" is used. But in that case, Agate will continue to
suffer without being able to die while being burned by
an indelible flame. If it is unavoidable, it is also a
means of unavoidable, but I would like to avoid it if I
can. In the past, he used Sisui's Sharingan genjutsu
and betsuten-shin (another heavenly God) to defeat
the incarcerated reincarnation of Kabuto. I wish I
could force myself to overwrite my art, but... no
matter what, my opponent is an animal. Will it work
against creatures that are not as intelligent as
humans?

- "--Agate "
In response to the voice of Sasuke, Agate and dropped
the waist. A black eye floating in the yellow iris, it is
throbbing. We're in a fight.
117 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

- "Don't move yet.”


When Sasuke took a step forward, Agate opened his
mouth wide and jumped like a spring. The sword is
pulled, and the Agate is taken in the sheath. Agate was
excited, and she sheathe the front foot to crush the
sword. On the belly of agate, there were still traces of
oil-trapped burns. Unlike a cut or a stab wound, the
damage from a burn seems to be slow to recover.

- "Don't get up with the wings as it is,"


Sasuke slowly released his hand from the sword and
extended his hand to the Agate's belly. Just as Agate
that was vigilant.
- “Calm down-it's okay, it doesn't hurt."
Sasuke put his hand on the Agate's belly and kneaded
the chakra at the tip of his finger. Once a mist-like
water passage is brought to a supercooled state by
wind, ice is created. Agate surprised by the coldness
of the Agate makes the body wrinkled. Sasuke
screamed and covered Agate burn marks with thin
ice. The ice is tied tightly to protect the burn marks,
and the affected area is cooled.

Agate collapsed and brought up and heard the neck so


that you see the scale of Sasuke.
- "Agate. I apologize for the interval between this,"
- "It was a great deal."
The next time the agate opened the mouth. I also
avoided to avoid, but Sasuke was taken in with a
118 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

right arm. Agate will be a good effort while making a


hoof and I will make a lot of squirrel.
- "- Agate"
Sasuke was a voice that I made an arm.
- "It is natural that you get angry, I was unchanged,
I was unpredicted, but not belonging. "
Agate was a fool.
- "Hoo. Do not you want to sleep, rest in the place
where you want to sleep. I can make it back. But I need your
help to do that."
The eyes, which had been narrowed sharply like pine
needles, became somewhat round and turned
towards Sasuke. At the moment when the eyes met,
Sasuke put a force on the eyeball. ―-Sharingan! Agate
is already being manipulated by the reincarnation.
However, he was pushed by Sasuke's eye power, and
his body was slightly scared. You can do the following:
When the force of the jaw is loosened, Sasuke thrusts
his fangs into the mouth of agate. The chakra is
poured directly from the mucous membrane with a
long tongue. The Agate, the Agate of which the body
was beaten by the Agate, became silent as if the
thread was cut suddenly. …... To override the
genjutsu?

There are few opportunities to use genjutsu for things


that are not human, so the sense is not impaired.
When I let go of my tongue, Agate began to cling to the
place. A long tail, twitching. "Agate" when you call,
Agate slowly opened your eyes.
119 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

Yellow eyes that were blurred, connect the focus to


the face of Sasuke. As soon as it was, the tail stretched
out with a pin. Tan! Kicking off the ground, Agate
jumped to Sasuke. When Sasuke reached for kunai, he
noticed a subtle change in the Agate's eyes, and felt
relieved from his body. The front leg that has jumped
on puts the weight on the shoulder of Sasuke.
However, the Agate covered the body of Sasuke, who
was pushed back with a ton, with great vigour. And ...
the haemorrhage of the arm of Sasuke that was torn
to a tooth form, it was to begin with licking and licking
with a long tongue.
120 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE
121 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

- "Hey... let it go, No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!"
- What the hell are these guys doing?!? Where did
you come from??"
- "Stop, do not come, do not come, do not come, oh,
do not come, come, come............"
A huge monster that I have never seen will crawl up
one after another from the huge crack that was made
in the courtyard, and it will attack as soon as possible.
Suddenly, they were thrown into the slaughter cage,
and the prisoners were completely depressed.

- "What the hell are these guys?" Where did it


come from?!?"
The Dragon beasts who rose up in the basement just
below the courtyard broke through the ceiling of the
basement with their schematics, and they flew out,
and so on, and so on, are not known to the prisoners.

I didn’t understand the translation, but I had no


choice but to escape. The first thing that flew out
following the pterosaur was the saury. It is a small
dragon beast that does not differ much from human
height. Make use of the body with a small turn and
jump and grab your face and jaw. All the prisoners
who were attacked are dying without being able to
die because they are satisfied at a glance. The cottage
wing, which looks like a dug hut, was destroyed by a
pillar that was destroyed by the head of a solid
dragon. The guys who were crushed by the fallen
buildings and failed to escape were overwhelmed, but
they may have died
122 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

somewhat happy. At least I didn't have to be scared.

A solid dragon is a dragon beast with a thick dome-


shaped skull. Hold a sturdy head low and rush in a
straight line to chase the prey. One of the prisoners
tumbled with their legs tangled. The people who
stumbled on the fallen body and ran behind fell in a
chain. A dozen people fell on the ground and the solid
dragon rushed into the mass. Those who stepped on
and fell into the ground, those who ate their heads
and blew away for more than a dozen meters. Either
way, it's instant death.

Those who did not die fortunately were chased to the


front of their niece and finally lost their escape.
“Damn ......” The south eagle was already half-
broken by the head of a solid dragon, but the north
eagle is still almost intact. The man who tried to climb
the fence with the next person as a steppingstone only
fell off with a claw. A solid dragon slams its forefoot
and sunk its waist.
"Oh up………………" and "a hopeless help to
attend…………" the man is agonizing overcast iron
there to do to another man and crying. On the fence
the stronger dust protrudes the skull of the strength
that won the iron and rub. Everyone was prepared for
death - that time.
"Son - I want to go out with the gazela, with a looked
fellow with a gaze, with a good meat. It was a teacher
of the medical office that you could continue to move
from the next sandwraft that was rarely challenged.
The prisoners were built at a place where the fence
was gone. Let's dread down and jump out to the
future. I did not know
123 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

what happened, the strategy dressing as a challenge


was aimed at the same moment of the god and I
brought a bulb and brought a breaker and collapsed.

Incorporating the prisoners and escaped to the


outside of the fence, the scala was headed to this
building. The landhood that will escape outside, will
come up with regard, but it is more likely to survive
than the sitting inside the fence. There are people who
are looking at the time of being died and dying. It was
too hard to say that the front of the front of them was
a lot of medical ninja, but in order to help us alone, I
was still different. Disturbance can be seen as soon as
possible, and cancel the surgery, so much damage
becomes large.

Since there is no sampling using the stairs, we will


continue the cash in the back of the foot and lead to
the dongmale room from outside. I knew the window
and gave it, but there was no person's man. Check the
desk and bookcases, but there are no materials
related to rolling surgery. Let's look for "squirt, where
... ..." from the fourth floor to the underground. I went
to the group of prisoners that weigh in the
staircasting land during the middle of the long
corridor to the three rows. Apparently, I saw it from
the Larish beast that runs out of outside, I would like
to go here.
- "It is dangerous if you are in the building, I have
better to get out of the fence. I escaped to the distance as far
as possible."
I promote to the excuse to the excuses and promote
the third-party room from the one end of the third
floor.
124 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

The observation room, the Reference Room, the


private rooms of the pilgrims-but there is no figure of
Zansur.
- “If you don't find them quickly, the number of
victims will increase. It was just around the corner in the
hallway with a rush, and I bumped into someone with a
dong. "

- “Jiji!"
- “You're safe...."
- "I was relieved," said Jiji.
- "What kind of situation is this?" Where did they
come from?"
- “It is the work of the director," Sakura explained
vividly.
- "I used the reincarnation of the dead as a
fossilize to revive the Beast. I have to find the director first
to unravel the art."
- “What? Are you outside?"
A stable environment is necessary to use advanced
techniques like a degenerate defected land.
I thought that the caster would be hiding in a room in
a private laboratory, but ... it seems to have been out
of sight.
- "Thank you."
- “But I'm going to have to get out of here, and I'm
going to have to get out of here."
It's the only way to get to the end of the story.
The next moment, in the back, a sharp pain ran.
- "Huh...?"
125 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

Sakura got on her knees and fell to the front. The


kunai, who was stuck in his back, falls to the floor
with a sound like a Callan.
- "I'm sorry, Doctor."
The heart shakes so much that it shakes Sakura's
body from the core. The heartbeat echoed like a
ringing in my ear, and the tip of my hands and feet
became cold with great vigor. As is inversely
proportional, the back of the body is hot with
convulsions and convulsions. It's like a whole body
cell boils. This symptom. It's the same poison Sasuke
received from Agate. I just want to go to the beach and
go to the beach.........................

- "That's right. Even after I understood that the


teacher was Sasuke's friend, I was swimming. I can't tell the
mystery of the celestial bodies," Jiji crouched down and
pulled out a piece of pole-like material from the pocket of a
white coat of a cherry tree that could not move.

- "Return it..."
The polar particles, it cannot afford to pass to Jiji. I
promised Naruto. I'm sure I'll bring back the clues
with Sasuke. Jiji kicked Sakura's face with one tongue.
The body of the puffed Sakura was slapped against the
wall of the corridor and made a big crack. The shock
that ran to the spine pierces through the Mitten. The
body stops moving every second, and instead of
standing up, it is as much as possible to breathe. "

- “...I love you..." image, the dark pupil in the site,


look no. "I was really good about the teacher. I was like a
lover, like a voice or
126 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

a gesture. That's why I'm so sorry that I'm


going to die in a place like this. But you're not
a Margot, " said the man, and tied the mark in
front of his chest.
Then, along with the Jingu (?) sound, the crack which
was made in the courtyard got a little excited. The
trees of the tonsillar which was supposed to greet the
Hana-Zakari were cut from the root and turned
sideways with some buds attached. It is a huge snake-
like creature, clothed in scales.

- "What, guy......"
the prisoner who happened to be there looked up at
the huge body that blocks the moon and was
astonished. The body of the snake had a long neck
that was more than ten meters long. The tail also has
the same length. It's the largest-ever ryuuiku-giant
beast that has been revived, taking a leisurely view of
the four-story laboratory. The giant beast, who awoke
from a sleep of tens of millions of years, lifted its neck
toward the sky to make a stretch.

The long tail that swung slowly over the wreckage of


the collapsed multi-dwelling building. Heavy rubble
rose like a splashing spray, and it poured into the
surrounding area.
- "He's as big as a fool, so he can break everything
just by moving a little bit. So, I did not reincarnate until the
end"
Giant beast lifts the front leg and step forward Zung
and one leg. There was a sudden sound, and the whole
research laboratory was tilted at an
127 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

angle. The foundation of the building collapsed under


the weight of the giant beast. The whole room was
heavily deflected, and the ceiling cracked. It rips to the
back of the hallway. The plaster walls, which were
unable to bear weight, fell off like a wafer. Jiji put his
feet on the windowsill, and the giant beast bowed his
head to the caster. It flew over the head of the giant
beast, and Jiji looked back toward Sakura and said
her:

- “Bye doctor”
"......"I couldn't move my body, and Sakura was
swallowed up by a torn floorboard and slammed down
one floor. The rubble hit the face, and it became the
underlaying of the wall which collapsed, and the field
of view became dark. As the cherry swallowed, the
laboratory collapsed with a roaring sound. Accomplice
is Jiji. Sasuke, along with the Agate, rushes to the
laboratory to reverse the flow of the escaped
prisoners, while cutting the ryuuten who came across
from one end. Zansur said that Kakashi was your
friend. There is only Jiji who knows that there are
friends in Sasuke.
Zansur was not a shinobi. Jiji is the one who uses the
reincarnation technique. I'm sure you're a pretty good
user, because you're hiding in the shadows, and
you're using the Forbidden Arts to bring back more
than one type of dragon beast at a time. The place
where the institute was located had become terrible.
The walls, the storyboards, and the bookstores are all
crumbling, and the only thing standing is the main
building. Here and there, the shredded human body is
piled up in a pile, and the Dragon beasts are eating
their heads in the mountain. In the confusion of how
people
128 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

escape blindly, Sakura figure was not found. If you're


looking for Zansur, you're in the main building.

"Agate, it's another move from here. You cover the


prisoner’s evacuation. Even one more escape.”
"I'll give you an agate, and I'll look back at this
building.” At the same time, it sounded great. The
courtyard, which had already been torn, was finally
shattered into pieces, and a giant dragon beast
appeared from beneath it, which was about thirty
meters tall. The foundation of the ground was
destroyed by weight, and a large crack entered the
wall of the main building, and it collapsed at once. The
inside of my head became pure white. There's still my
wife in the lab. “Sakura!" I jumped into the sand, and
as soon as I could get my hands on Sasuke, I broke
through the rubble in front of my eyes.

- “Sakura! Where are you?"


There is no answer to the call. No matter how many
times I looked at her with my Sharingan eyes, I could
not feel Sakura's Chakra, and that was more and more
frustrating for Sasuke. If you don't know where
Sakura is, you won't be able to get rid of the rubble.

Sakura is not an ordinary Shinobi. If you're in a


situation where you can't use the chakra, then that's
not the way to go. The Agate nail, that poison. If you
use the same thing, you will not be able to escape on
your own. It's the same poison that Sasuke knows
best.

- "Damn it......"
129 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

Sasuke is driven by the impatience.


“What is it? How to find Sakura?”
I desperately try to think, but my thoughts are not
aligned with impatience. After all, I had no choice but
to shovel the debris in front of my eyes.
- "Reply! Sakura!”
If you notice, in front of you there was a wall of
grained plaster. The tip of the nail sticking out, it is
stopped at the front of the right eye of Sakura two
centimetres. I don't know what to do. I was able to
find out the memory of Moro, and I remembered that I
was caught up in the fall of the laboratory. If you
lower your gaze, the bottom from the chest had
become the underlay of the large pillar. There was a
feeling that the water sticks to the back of the thigh,
but it cannot be determined whether it is bleeding
from where. When I inhaled it, I felt the discomfort
that my internal organs were twisting from the back
of my chest. I'll try to move my body. The left hand
was stuck in something and did not move, but the
right hand moved. When you push away the rubble in
front of you, it moves and opens your eyes a little. A
narrow starry sky surrounded by rubble was seen
through the haze. Even if I tried to knead the Chakra,
the chakra tube that is supposed to be in the body did
not react too tightly. It's a bad situation. The body is
numb and motionless, and even if I try to speak out,
the back of the throat just whines and does not
become a sound.
130 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

And if you can't knead the chakra, you won't be able


to find it in Sasuke's Sharingan. I have no choice but to
escape by myself.
- "I want you to know where you are!?"
Sakura, moving desperately his convulsive arm, tried
to push away the rubble against her body. The
moment the rubble floats a little, the sound of the
brick slipping off somewhere, and the hand stops. If
you do this, another place may collapse. I couldn't
move any more of the rubble because I didn't know
where anyone was buried. It's full of all directions.
"...Hahaha ... " the sight of a rough-breathed Sakura
blurred with blurry white. I can't help but feel
frustrated at the fact that the reanimated beasts are
attacking the prisoners while we're here. The pulse
was calm, and it was so quiet as to be terrifyingly
silent. My hands and feet are cold like ice, like I'm
about to die from the end. The cells in the body are
exhausted and they want to stop functioning. If you
don't mind, I'll let you know. Sakura looked at the lips,
desperately tried to maintain consciousness, but
could not do anything to go through the force from
the body. Sakura, who is a medical Ninja, knows best
that it is not poison that can somehow be done with
vigour. Cherry-coloured lashes slowly block the view
of Sakura. Consciousness first sank to the bottom of
the brain. "- Sakura!”

A voice familiar to the ears, pulled back the


consciousness of Sakura was about to disappear. If
you open your eyelids with loose eyes, the face of a
person who wanted to meet you is right in front of
you. The weight that was crushing the body had
disappeared imperceptibly. All the debris
131 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

around them was left behind, and Sakura was hugged


by Sasuke. I don't know what to say, but I can't say it.
Still, in an attempt to convey the information you have
now, Sakura desperately trembled her throat. "......
Original is...... Seems like
the" "talking to you" Sasuke short to say, out of the
back of the wound touched. The chakra sent from the
palm of your hand flows into the Sakura with a warm
heat. The action of the poison disappears, and the
body temperature returns to the cold extremities. But
at the same time, pain became clear, and the pain ran
all over the place.
- “Can you move?"
- “Yeah ... ..."
Still, the throat does not move as expected. However,
when Sakura nods a little, Sasuke finally forgets her
expression. I can't wait to see what you're up to, but I
can't wait to see what you're up to.

- "I couldn't stop Jiji… I couldn't help myself..."


- "Don't apologize for that reason when I was in
such a state."
But more than that, I am relieved that Sasuke is in
front of me right now. When I thought I might die like
this, the most terrifying thing was that I could never
see Sasuke and salad again. The wound on the back is
slowly tightened. The fingertip with a familiar feel
wiped Sakura’s wet bag.

Standing on the backs of the" spectacular " giant


beasts, looking down at the prisoners How to escape,
Zansur laughed with his nose. Next to it is the figure of
Jiji.
132 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

- "I feel unbearable.”


"I guess so," said Gigi, who looked down at the
devastation under her eyes, nodding,
"Because the long-awaited plan is finally in place.”
A Tori-legged beast with overwhelming leg power is
using a long hind leg as much as the height of the person,
and it is going to chase the prisoners by raising the sand
smoke. The brown plumage looks just like a bird. The Tori-
Ga-Zei-Zei (Tori-ga-ga-Zei, a beast with Tori-legs) mows the
hind legs. The body of the prisoner, who was eaten
properly, burst with bread like a blood-clogged faucet, and
it turned into a lump of meat in an instant. Zansur frowned
when he saw a man with his back torn by a pair of crooked
jaws with a pair of collateral drops of blood. I'm not sure if
this is the case, but I'm not sure if this is the case. The giant
beast lifts its forelegs like the trunk of an old tree. I just
want to go to the beach and watch the sunset. Here and
there, the body of the prisoner who was kicked scattered to
Tori-leg beast, jumped up a dozen meters high. There are
also those who die under the falling body. Zansur looked at
the blood that spilled everywhere in the dry land.

- "It's a great warrior. The prime minister will


surely be pleased," he said, looking up at the head of the
giant beast above his head.

- "If I kill all the prisoners, I will go to the capital as


it is, and join the prime minister"
- "That is fine, but do not forget the promise with
me "
133 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

- "Of course. As soon as I kill all the prisoners, I


will go to the altar and find the body of your lover. I will not
forget the favour I received. This much strength was gained
thanks to the fact that you, who can use your chakra,
performed the transformation technique."

He snorted and smelled, and went to the rubble of the


crumbling wall. When he bent the nails of his forelegs
and deftly moved the rubble, Ganno, who was hiding
behind the scenes, was tormenting and trembling.

- "Oh. He was your cellmate, for sure." Jiji looked


down on Ganno with his arms folded in silence.
Agate that stood in front of Ganno jumped on the
torso of a beast that lost its ankle and lost its balance.
“Gya!” The bird leg beast that screamed and fell down
tried to shake the body and shake off the spider. A
spear sticks out his fangs on his long, violent neck.
Listening to a fellow scream, another bird's leg beast
rushed in and jumped into the cage from behind.
However, because the niece responded on the verge
of avoiding it, it would come into contact with friends.
The two bird-legged beasts tumbled and rolled for
several tens of meters while crushing the bodies of
the wrapping people.

- “What's going on, Jiji, why is the niece on the side


of the prisoners!”
After being blamed by Zansur and confirming the
state of his reincarnation, Jiji finally noticed the
incident.
134 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

- “Agate's rule has been dissolved...”


- “Sasuke?”
- “Maybe” Ganno has already escaped when the
bird-legged beast is distracted.
Zansur bites his tongue out with frustration, but
immediately regains his mind.
- “I'm not as painful as I was able to get a kite at
all.”
- “It would be nice,”
- “I struggled against a bird leg beast that was
several times larger than me. I passed the attack with a
small body, jumped boldly and earned time for prisoners to
escape. However, at first it was one-on-one, but it became
two-to-one, three-to-one, and finally surrounded by five
birds and beasts.”
Legs are approaching the trap that has lost its escape.

Gak-iin! It was Sasuke's sword's that caught the ankle


that was swung down. If you push the tube as it is, the
Tori-damate beast will fall back in the back while
raising one leg. I'm so happy to be able to go to the
beach and watch the sunset. The avian beasts covered
their faces with agate, and Sasuke quietly listened.

- "What to do, Agate."


- “If the load is heavy, the Agate will kick up the
ground as much as I can do."
Sasuke laughed and said,

- "I'll fly behind you."


135 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

The next moment when Sasuke and Agate kicked the


ground at the same time, the claws of an avian-legged
beast gnawed at the sun and the sky.
- "Even if you do a decent opponent, efficiency is
poor. While taking a distance, aim in reverse the chance
that the other party will launch an attack.”

The avian Beast rushes to Agate, remembering one of


the idiots. Once you have taken the distance, the
movement is simple and easy to read ahead. Agate
was silted much lower than Sasuke's instructions. The
Grappling Claw that has been attacking it swings over
the Agate. The bird-and-legged beasts lost their
balance.

- "Now!"
Agate that I stepped into the opponent's pocket; I pull
it along with the throat. The Tori-legged beast threw
out his two limbs and fell down. However, as soon as
the wound is covered with garbage, the wound is
repaired. Sasuke pierced the Long Sword and fixed
the head and torso to the ground, respectively. Not
long after, a reddish-brown mass jumped to Agate
from the side. Carnivores-the most powerful and
ferocious of all fossils in the land. The agate was
pressed down with tremendous force, and the Agate
gripped the body desperately. However, there is too
much difference in physique, it cannot get out at all.

As the carnivorous animals looked down at the Agate,


Zansur squinted happily.
- "It is a family confrontation of all sorts, but I do
not seem to be excited"
136 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

- "Same family?" Jiji unexpectedly asked back.


- "Agate and carnivorous beast?"
- "Yes, agate is also a carnivorous beast. I'm still a
child,"
If you observe said, the skeleton is certainly very
similar. It was because the flesh-eating beast looked
reddish brown and was bathed in blood, and the skin
itself seemed to be the same grey as the Agate. Jiji has
no knowledge of Palaeontology. Zansuru’s accomplice
was chosen because of his ability as a shinobi.

On the other hand, Zansur is ignorant of the situation


in the world of Shinobi.
- "Agate against the adult beast to confront alone
to do the cruel thing."
- “No, it's not the meat eater" Gigi says,
- "What do you mean by that? and what do you
mean by that?"
- "I'm not sure if it's a good thing,"
He frowned. In front of the carnivorous animals of the
muscle marrow, Agate looks very petite. As long as
there is a difference in the physique between the
creatures of the same kind, it seemed that the victory
or defeat was decided before fighting.――But. Agate
and roaring, pushed back the carnivorous beast.

- "What??"
The carnivorous beast that was knocked down is
turned over. In front of the astonished Zansur, Agate
devoured the belly of the carnivore. The carnivorous
animals try to wriggle themselves, roll
137 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

around and shake Agate, but the sharp fangs bite


deeply and do not leave.
- "Stupid......agate is pushing?”
- “At the time of summoning, the mouth-feeding
animal receives a chakra supply from the surgeon,” explains
Gigi calmly.
- “Agate is contracted with Sasuke and is supplied
with chakra. It is natural that it becomes stronger than
other dragons and beasts.”

It is not a one-sided technique that only helps one.


The surgeon borrows the power of the animal, and
the animal gains the power of the chakra and changes
into a stronger individual.

- “Sasuke ’s fighting power is unknown. I don’t


think I won’t win unless everyone takes it.”

- “I can say that quickly.” Immediately after


Zansur looked at Gigi, the lab said:
- “Shannaro!”
I heard a scream. Next, Dogo! And the sound of
breaking walls. The west wall, which was barely
standing, collapsed with a roar, and all the walls
surrounding the site disappeared.
- “Looks like another shark. Leave it to me, you go
over there.”
- “... Oh, yeah. This time, I ’ll do it for you.”
The pterosaur flew and scooped up Gigi. Follow for
Sakura that escaped out of the cage.
- “I feel like my dog has been bitten by my dog…”
138 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

The petite dragon beast dripped with blood from his


fangs, coldly giving up his yellow eyes and staring
back at his former subject. Behind them is prisoner
number 487, Sasuke.
- "I changed my owner ... let me regret it."
With that signal, the eyes of the dragons changed all at
once. The giant beast lifted the front leg with the
spear. Pterosaurs swirl and squeeze the wings. And
even the birds and beasts who were holding the
corpse of the prisoner headed for the brute-all the
dragons were hitting the aunt and attacking Samurai
and Sasuke.
139 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE
140 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

Sasuke tries to capture the Dragon beasts that come in


a bundle. When I saw Agate standing to protect
myself, I changed my mind, because I was going to use
Chidori or Susanoo in a moment. "Agate." I will attract
small people. I want you to be the most beautiful
woman in the world. Sasuke hugged the Agate body
and threw it toward the giant beast. The pterosaurs
fainted and fell one after another, and escaped the
electric shocks, and the pterosaurs came into their
eyes blindfolded and collided with the torid beasts
from the front. A sharp beak pierced deeply into the
torso of the torikuten, and the angry torikuten Beast
trotted both legs in a frenzy, and raged rampage
without both foes and allies. Agate, on the other hand,
clung to the tail of the giant beast. As it is like a
tightrope, it hangs on the top of the tail, and it
approaches to the Zansur.

- "Hey, don't let the Agate approach me!"


Zansur screams, but lies in the dead zone of the giant
beast on his back. Because of its structure, it does not
reach the neck nor the tail.
- "Pterosaur! Help me!” In response to the order,
one of the pterosaurs in the sky hurried to Zansur.
Zansur escaped to the sky with his lapels in his lap,
and Agate's claws fluttered out in the sky, tearing his
back against the giant beast. The giant beast screams
and squirms his body to shake off the Agate. When
Agate dared to disobey, he descended to the ground,
and Sasuke ran to the other side. A giant beast follows
the Agate ten times or more in a stride.
141 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

Zansur took a rough breath and raised his slipping


glasses.
- "It's not like you're being staggered when you're
Agate..."
It is unavoidable to be annoyed by the existence
thought that it ruled. It is because of the wisdom put
in the new owner. 487th - Sasuke is still on the
ground, scraping up the important forces of Zansur.

Zansur smacked his tongue and cheered on the wing


dragons flying nearby.
- "What are you guys looking at? I told you to kill
Sasuke, but the area around Sasuke is in a state of
turbulence.”
Sasuke himself does not receive a single wound, and
while skilfully avoiding the attack, he invites the
dragon beast to fight together. Knowing that the
increase in numbers would give Sasuke an advantage,
the wing dragons went on without defying Zansur’s
orders. However, it is dropped before it reaches
Sasuke by the blitz without gasping.

- "It's better not to use too many dragons in the


jaw,"
Sasuke taunted Zansur while catching the fallen wing
dragon in the wind. The user of the reincarnation
technique is Jiji, not you. A blue streak floats on The
Forehead of Zansur. The agate had lured out the giant
beast by Sasuke's instructions. It descends down the
slope while
142 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

skilfully crossing from the rock to the rock. The giant


beast that chases is not the type that can turn around.
The rock which had been made a scaffold was crushed
one after another, and it chased yond agate. Sasuke,
who jumped up to the stomping ground on the head
of the carnivore, confirmed that the agate had reached
the front of the lake and raised his voice.

- “Cut the tendons!"


In response to Sasuke's voice, the agate turned
around. It enters under the belly of the giant beast, it
runs straight through to the base of the tail, and it eats
deeply in the hind leg like the log. It did not give even
room to twist the body, and the muscle of the ankle
was devoured by the bone. The giant beast did not
collect and bent the knee with a jerk. It loses the
balance, it falls sideways, and it thrusts it from the
head in the lake. A terrible splash of water jumped up
to the top of the cloud.

- "Useless. Hey, get out of the lake!”


Benefiting from buoyancy, the giant beast was able to
wake up immediately. However, the bottom of the
lake becomes like a swamp, and it is not possible to
support the weight of the huge beast, and the leg is
swallowed. It was not possible to crawl up because it
was not possible to step on, and the giant beast was
stuck while putting out the top from the neck to the
surface of the water.

- "Damn, the big picture is backfired...”


It vomited now, and Zansur gave the command to the
wing dragon.
143 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

- "Hey, get down to the ground and pull him out of


the lake!”
Zansur is still unaware that he has issued a fatal
order. Dragons cannot receive more than one order
from a non-magician. And just now, Zansur's orders
were overridden by the content of 'Get down to earth
and help the beast'. As a result, the wing dragon
opened the beak, dropped heavy luggage to the
ground, lightened the body, and began gliding to the
giant beast.

- "Wow- - ya!”
Zansur's body was beaten to the rocks, and he was
able to play red like a phoenix. It bounces twice three
times, it rolls, it hardens to a distorted shape, and it
stops at last. Sasuke went down to the rocks with a
tongue-in-cheek shot, and checked the body of
Zansur, who was covered in sand, but the prototype
was no longer there. The last is because of ignorance
to the reincarnation art.

The wing dragon in the sky snapped at Gaa and


turned toward the laboratory. When Zansur was out
of order, his orders disappeared. The dragons
scattered and began to target the prisoners again.

- "Agate, i'm going to rush to the laboratory"


Then a hawk came down to watch when the dragons
were gone. It is a hawk used to communicate with
Kakashi. I'm writing a letter to the end of my leg.

- "At a time like this, is it a message?”


Sasuke opened the letter without a rush. It is written
in familiar characters that the coup that
144 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

Kakashi was supporting succeeded, the prime


minister was captured, and it went to the capital with
the new king Nanara. The situation was solved safely,
and Kakashi seemed to be loose, and even the samurai
woman of the appearance of Nanara and the
companion were written and continued leisurely. Did
the one of the letter was violently thrust into his
pocket, and Sasuke hurried to the laboratory.

Sakura blew away the bodies of the attacking beasts


one after another, earning prisoners time to escape.
He catches the back leg of the bird-legged beast,
throws it on his back, and hits it to the ground. Then,
two prisoners ran, and it became
a horse-riding to the body of the fallen bird-legged
beast. Ganno. And it's Penjira. The back of the knee of the
bird leg beast was made to hit rarely by the hoe that two
people gripped.
- "Gaa- The bird-legged beast is violent, but you
can't stand it with a broken bone in your knee.”
The crushed joint swells up and regenerates
immediately. In an effort to keep up with his recovery,
Ganno and Penjira frantically swung the hoe down in
the form.

- “Oh. Don't get well! It's not going to heal “


Sakura closed her mouth, saying that it was too much.
It is the same as the person and the dragon beast that
the death is crazy. The resurrected beasts may have
looked like powerful monsters in the eyes of the
prisoners. However, the dragon beasts are desperate,
too. To begin with, the bird-legged beast and the hard-
headed dragon,
145 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

etc. are herbivores, and do not even have the ability to


prey on other living things. Still, they cannot resist the
order of the magician to
- "kill all the prisoners".
- "It's a great place to be!"
Sakura caught the body of the wing dragon which had
thrust at high speed from the sky with the voice of the
spirit. It was the same for the wing dragon that it was
not suitable for the fight. The body which evolved to
fly in the sky is extremely light, and the weight is less
than ten kilograms for the length of the body which
exceeds ten meters. The only weapon is a sharp-
pointed beak, but after dividing the prisoners' brains
several times, they are completely stunned and
useless. Still, withdrawal is not allowed. to die. The
soul revived by the reincarnation is absolute
obedience to the instruction of the magician. The wing
dragon and the cherry tree joined each other for a
while, and the wing dragon pulled before long. He
spreads his wings and tries to escape to the sky but is
caught by the prisoners who have gathered and is
dragged down to the ground. The wing dragon was
mad at death, and no one let go even if becoming gory
though the prisoner's head was disturbed and
pierced. The feather axis which evolved from the
finger of the front leg was light like the branch, and it
broke easily only by the feather crossing and it was
squeezed. At first, he was ringing for his help with
Gaagaa, but when the bone of his crushed neck
blocked his airway, he was only breathing blurred.
The dust of the reincarnation covers the wound from
the wounded side, and recovers. The prisoners are
desperate to stone the
146 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

wing dragon to revive it. For both of us, it's a torture


that never ends. Unless the reincarnation is released.

It is gone. Still, withdrawal is not allowed to die. The


soul revived by the reincarnation is absolute
obedience to the instruction of the magician. The wing
dragon and the cherry tree joined each other for a
while, and the wing dragon pulled before long. He
spreads his wings and tries to escape to the sky but is

both of us, it's a torture that never ends. Unless the
reincarnation is released.

Soon. We need to find Jiji and release the dragons. As


soon as I thought about it, I felt dizzy. The moment he
got down on his knees, he felt a sense of killing behind
his back, and Sakura fell sideways. Whit her cherry
hair blurred, sticks deeply to the ground. Jiji without
putting her hair in between, Sakura twisted her body
and stood up quickly. He lifts the rubble, which is
about his height, and throws it at Jiji.
147 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

Jiji pulled out her sword and cut off the rubble with a
single sword. There is already no appearance of the
cherry tree on the other side of the splinter which
poured down to the ground. Did you run away? Jiji
snapped her nose. It is useless to reach this period.

A wing dragon in the sky finds a cherry tree going


down a cliff and reports it to Jiji. The movement of the
cherry tree is very strong. It seems not to have
recovered completely from the poison apparently
though it is not certain how it escaped from the
laboratory which collapses. Jiji tied the mark as she
ran and put her hand on the ground. "Dsuchitore and
Dirt Flow Wall" Jiji catches up with Sakura, who
stopped her legs after she was prevented from going
to the wall of the raised soil. Cornered by the wall,
Sakura glared at Jiji with a tight eye. What's your
purpose? Gaa, and I heard a scream in the distance. I
don't know if it belongs to a man or a dragon beast.

- "In this way, the dragon beast and the person


suffered... What the hell do you want to do?!”

- "It's depressing to stab a teacher twice."


It was Jiji's real heart. It's a selfish matter, but I
wanted the teacher and Sasuke to survive if possible.
But now that this is the way it is, we have to kill him. I
told Sasuke. You can't leave your wife alone. The back
of the back Sakura touches the wall of the soil with
tons. Jiji approached Sakura and stepped forward.
Bread! I hear something coming out and suddenly my

body stops moving. 「!?」 It was already late


148 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

when it thought that it had gone. The joint here and


there is fixed stubbornly, and it is not possible to even
twist the body. Barrier. It's also an ambush trap. The
sand at my feet flew in the wind, and a card with a
curse appeared. The bright red chakra thread that
gradually emerged makes Jiji's body a goose.

When the subject passed on the bill, it seems to have


become a mechanism that the operation activated.
Pretending to run away, Sakura had lured himself into
this place from the beginning. “... Gigi put the kunei
out of her sleeve and cut the chakra thread. However,
the thread only releases the chakra, which is
contained with the bee, and even the break does not
enter. On his wrist, a sign with cherry blossom petals
appeared on his wrist.

- "Before I knew it... I have a sign like this.”


- "When I came to the medical office before, just in
case,"
Sakura said calmly. “I'm a doctor.”
I'll know if she's the chakra's messenger, and I’ll see if
she can get out of it, but Jiji was desperate, but she
quickly realized that she couldn't get out on her own,
so she pulled out. Not yet. I haven't lost yet. If Zansur
joins us, there's a chance to get out. Or, is there a
chance to let Sakura solve the art? In exchange for
releasing reincarnation surgery. Jiji, who was looking
for a shrewd victory, suddenly felt a terrible chakra
and shook her brain. The force comes off from the
knee. The possibility of victory, which was slightly
left, shattered in an instant and the pressure of the
chakra.
149 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

- "Jiji. Was it you who used the reincarnation


technique?"
It was the same bunch person who had never shown
such a killing up to know to have appeared with the
agate.
- "I don't want to be comfortable. I'll make amends
for what I've done, but I'd like to ask you something before
you put it on the phantom,"

Sasuke continued, once pulling his eyes back and


dropping the tone of his voice.
- “What's your purpose? The purpose of Zansur
was to use the resurrected dragon beast as a weapon of the
war. But you're not that kind of type, you're the type of
person who's going to act for the sake of your country,"

Gigi said without power. "It's your subjectivity. I don't


know if you agreed with Zansur's belief and
cooperated."
- “It was when Penjira was about to be attacked by
agate. If you were willing to take care of all the prisoners,
why didn't you just kill them? Did you have any hesitation
in making Penjira a tool of killing, or was there a great
resto? ...... I don't have either of them. The agate was made
to revive by the intention, and feelings might not move to
the guy only of the same bunch by chance even if it made it
to Penjira.”
150 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

Actually, I watched Ganno faintly earlier, and Sasuke


looked back at Gigi's face. People sometimes take
actions that they never thought of, driven by emotions
that they don't realize.
Sasuke still remembers the time when he was
jumping out, protecting his best friend. It was a real
wonder at the time why I did such a thing, but now I
know. Naruto was Sasuke's best friend from that time
though it broke down many times. In a place beyond
reason and reason. I don't think Jiji had the same
emotions that Sasuke had in Naruto, in Agate, Ganno
or Penjira. But at least he must have had some
attachment.

- "Zansur is dead. We will return to our own


country by handing over your character to the kingdom of
The Buddha. But before that... If you have any
circumstances, talk to me now.”

Jiji looked at Sasuke's face alternately and loosened


his expression.
- "Anyway, the plan is broken," he muttered, and
began to talk.
- "I was originally a sand-hiding escape, and I
came to the capital at the invitation of the Prime Minister of
The Country of The Great Buddha. It's about time the king
was still alive. The prime minister was planning to hire a
loophole to build a private army. So, he called me to talk
about Shinobi and Ninjutsu. While I was staying at the royal
palace, the prime minister gave me a dedicated samurai
woman. And I fell in love with her. I wanted to live with her
in a
151 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

country where she and I would rather live with


her than to be complicit in the war. When
asked by Sakura, Jiji nodded small. "I think
someone would have seen us together. It was
soon found out. But the Prime Minister told me
that if I wanted to be with her, I could leave the
private army. Zansur was originally an
archaeologist at the Royal Palace. I found the
literature on how to reincarnate the dead in
the library, and I succeeded in deciphering it.
But even if he knows how to do it, Zansur
himself can't handle the chakra. That's why I
was called to perform reincarnation. It was a
story that you may live like it if it cooperated
with Zansur in this laboratory for one year. I
promised her that I had been summoned to a
distant mission, and that I would meet her in
the capital a year later... But a year ago, she
died," he continued, staring at the ground with
a tired expression. "I was wrong. If I was really
important to her, I shouldn’t have left her. I
shouldn't have been alone... Hey, Sasuke. I told
you, don't let your wife alone. That's my real
heart. People die easily." Jiji turned down his
eyes again, looking at the agate that listened to
the story quietly, whether she understood the
story or not. "At first, I was told that the
purpose of reviving the agate was to be a
watchman for the prisoners. The real purpose
was told the day she found out she was dead.
The real purpose was told the day she found
out she was dead. I don't think we're going to
use a dragon beast as a weapon. At first, of
course, I was reluctant.
152 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

But Zansur and The Prime Minister gave me


the conditions.
- "If you help us to revive the dragon beast, she'll
prepare her body. If we have a body, we'll see each other
again. You tried to revive her," Jiji smiled as he noticed
Sakura's expression.
- "It hurts. Don't look like that, doctor. I really
wanted to see her again. It's a forbidden art, even if it's too
much. Sasuke, what if you were in my place? You do the
same thing, right?”

「............」 It was not possible to say that such a


thing was not so, and Sasuke pressed and shut up. I
remember when I reunited with Itachi who had been
resurrected by the reincarnation of the world. Being
able to talk to my brother for even a few minutes after
the misunderstanding was resolved became an
irreplaceable memory in Sasuke's life. Even if it is the
result of the prohibition. If my wife is gone, I might
want to do the same thing as Jiji.

- "Maybe so," he replied.


- "I might even put my hand out if Sasuke-kun is
gone and there's a technique for reincarnation in front of
me. I really wanted to see you. You know how I feel.” She
interrupted Gigi, who was about to say, "But," Sakura
continued.

- "We're not alone. I'm sure your friends will stop


you. Don't do anything stupid. The same reason we stop
you. And your lover Margot, I’m sure you don't want to be
forced to be resurrected by reincarnation.
153 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

Sasuke reacted and raised his face. Margo. Is that


the name of Jiji's lover? The letter I just received
from Kakashi is still stuck in my pocket. Sasuke
opened the letter with the fold
and chased the sentence with eyes. 「...... Gigi,
you should have been here over a year ago.
- How did you know Margot was dead? He died of
an epidemic. The prime minister's handwriting"
- "The Prime Minister is also a guru", Sasuke
showed the letter from Kakashi to Gigi.
- "It was written in a letter from one of my people.
The new king, who overthrew the dictatorship, decided to
transfer the queen and the prime minister to the capital. A
woman named Margot, who accompanies the new king, is a
very reliable person who is familiar with the internal
situation because she was originally a samurai woman at
the Royal Palace.
- What?
- "It's information from a reliable person"
The focus of Gigi's eyes, which was chasing the text of
the letter, trembles and becomes unsettled. It is
sudden, and it is not possible to swallow easily. Still,
tears overflowed without permission from eyes while
tracing the text twice three times. Pretending that
Margot is dead and moving Jiji the way she wants -
why didn't he notice it, even though it was what
Zansur thought? Jiji's tears with his jaw overlapped
with the sound of a broken branch. I'm not sure if I’ll
ever be.
154 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

Jiji raised his face. The carnivorous beast is closing


behind the cherry tree, erasing the sign. The
carnivore, who was aware of Jiji's, lowered his body
and kicked the ground vigorously.
- "Teacher"
Jiji quickly tied the mark in front of her chest. It is a
sign of the cancellation of the reincarnation art of the
child, the shin, the shin, the tiger, the tiger, and the
dragon. When Gigi finished tying the mark, Sakura
had already reacted on her own, throwing her upper
into the carnivorous jaw. - Gan! The carnivorous
animal, which received cherry's fist sat in the eye,
lightly blew it off and fell to the ground. He gets up
quickly, but the skin of his stiff, raised nose begins to
pop. The peeled skin became dust, and it began to rise
to the sky without riding in the wind. Jiji's release seal
freed the dragons from reincarnation. The wing
edams that were being assembled by the prisoners,
the dragon-legged beasts that were crawling on the
ground with broken legs, and the giant beasts that
were in the cold water. The dragons who were able to
row the sea for a long time were finally liberated from
both endless sleep and the rule covered with greed
and returned the soul to the other side gradually
calmly little by little. Of course, it's also an agate. The
agate sounded his throat in a swaying manner,
regretting his farewell. The head which curves loosely
is pressed against Sasuke’s flank, and it rubs it many
times. The tail which shakes from side to side
collapses with rags and soars. "

“Don't come back at last," he said, patting under his


jaw, and he squinted comfortably and exhaled
155 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

his nose. Sasuke's waist is squeezed with a


transparent claw of the blood vessel.
- "Good night" hands and feet, the torso, in turn
become dust, and rise to the place where there is no
suffering and no fight.
The cold one touched a little, and it began to snow
when thinking whether the dust of the reincarnation
art was so cold. The snow falling quietly came and
went with the rising dust, and when I looked up from
below, it seemed to have sown a gold and silver sand
child on a black sand screen. Everything is visible in
Sasuke's eyes. A thin-ice crystal flutters, but the
moonlight shines in rainbow colours. The carnivorous
animal which had been eaten by the cherry tree was
violent reluctantly to resist the providence of the
solution. The body has already disappeared more
than half, but the eyes of the carnivore have not given
up. If you stick it with a long tail and force it to wake
up, Tan! He dared to kick the ground with one leg and
jumped at Jiji. Was it revenge for having been ruled or
was it considered a predator only by instinct? Jiji's
reaction, which had been careless by unravelling the
reincarnation, was completely delayed. Fresh blood
spouts.

The curved claws pierced Jiji's chest deeply, and his


tip was deeply stuck in her throat.
- "Jiji. The carnivorous beast, who had taken his
last revenge, returned and soaked his blood and melted
into the air.”
"Hold on.”
156 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

Sakura ran up to her and untied the chakra thread.


Sasuke supports Jiji's body, which has fallen behind
her. Jiji's hand, which was covered in blood, was
covered with Sakura hands as she tried to put her
hand on the wound.
"The treatment is...”
“Why?” With Jiji's hand removed, Sakura sent a
chakra.
- “Cause you're going to see Margot, aren't you? I
knew I was alive. "
- “That's all... That, leave ......”

The view is getting darker. 「...... I don't have a


face to match anymore. Anyway...... The other
guys... The blood clot was stuck in my throat, I didn't
have the spirit to cough, and it didn't sound any more.
I hear the sound as if I was in the water. Instead of
defying her heavy body, Jiji closed his eyes. When I
thought I was going to die alone, I started to laugh.
When I was told that Margot was dead, I regretted it
to death. I've left Margot alone. that we weren't
together for a long time. I thought Margot died
because she was there and didn't protect her. But
that's just a thought. Somewhere far away, Sakura and
Sasuke call themselves. I can't help being envious and
envious of them. If I had the strength of them, I
wouldn't have been like this. If you could believe in
what you don't see. It's too late to regret it now. At the
bottom of the pitch-black field of vision, Margot calls
out.

158 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

Along with the memorial monument with a bouquet


of blue chicks, the new king Nanara put his fingers
together and put his hands together. The name of the
62 prisoners was dug into the polished granite. Those
who died last year in an incident that took place here.
The former Institute of Astronomy has no shadow to
see now. The building has collapsed with ancient
literature and expensive astronomical instruments,
and the rubble is still abandoned. After breaking the
palm, Nanara looked back at the two followers.

- “What is your sister?”


- “After completing the northern tour, I will arrive
here tomorrow.”
- “The maroon-haired servant—When Margo's
answer was heard, Nanara nodded.
The reconstruction here has completely been left
behind, just for the capital and the eyes. Astronomy is
an important discipline of the Country of The Great
Buddha. We have to re-maintain not only the celestial
body but also the fossil excavation properly. ......

- If I told you that I wanted to have a paleontology


research facility, would you get angry with your sister?
- "You might get angry. Where do you think that
kind of financial resources are? We have to think more
carefully about how we use tax revenue!

When Margot mimicked Manali's tone, another


attendant next to her shouted and laughed. Margot
continues to grin.
- "But you can be angry, let's suggest.”

THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

Margot's right! When he nodded energetically, He ran


up to the horse that was resting in the shade of a tree.
With his feet on the stirrups, he jumps on his back and
looks back at the two attendants. One of them is a
woman who has helped me all the time. And the other
is a model prisoner who is scheduled to be sentenced
to a permanent prison sentence, taken out in a special
case to guide the geography of this area. Next time,
we'll go see the lake. Come on, Margot! Jiji!

This popular Japanese café is located in the Tami


Japanese Confectionery Shop in the Old Town. Sakura
met in the seat of the open terrace with a sunny day.
We both have busy doing housework and doing tea,
but we still make tea several times a month, thus
adjusting our time. I had a lot of things to talk about
my children, each other's work, my husband's things -
my best friends, what I wanted to talk about.

- "The other day, I was playing around with my


hair wrapped around my hair. Well, i don't like it. But she's
not straight hair like a rhino. I've been styling it for a long
time, but I’m back to normal right away. If you don't get
into the habit of sleeping, you might be a little envious. Oh,
speaking of sleeping habits, I heard from Temari, but I’m so
good at sleeping in Shikamaru I know, I've seen it many
times on duty. Seriously, while enjoying the new anmitsu
crepe topped with three colours of anko, and talking about
the topic of ramming, I turned my face sideways with "

- “Ah".
160 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

I wonder if it's the way back to the fire room. I'm just
walking empty-handed, but my face and posture are
good, so I stand out a lot wherever I am. Sakura
suddenly lay down on the table and groaned as she
saw off her back.
- "Sasuke-kun, it's so nice..."
- Oh, now?

She looks at her eyes with a stunned eye.


- "No, it's true that Sasuke-kun is as cool as he
used to be. How long have you been married to Sasuke? Do
you still feel that?
- "Because..."
- Roughly, you were on a long-term mission until
yesterday, weren't you?
- "Yes, but it's not the case when Sasuke sees me
on duty. I don't feel like I’m going to be dazed because it's
switched on as a ninja, but when I come back to the village,
I'm not going to do anything like this. It's a fresh feeling...

- "Yes, is that so? It's a treat, I told him to make fun


of it on purpose, and while cutting the crepe dough with the
chocolate sauce with a knife, he leaned over with a grin.

- "Hey, that's more than that. It's rare to have an


accessory. What happened to the ring?
- “Yeah, this one?” Sakura dropped her eyes on her
ring finger.
I look at the little red jewel smiles again. When I saw
the smile, I squinted. Strictly speaking, it may not be a
so-called gift. But this ring was becoming Sakura's
treasure now. The ring, which
161 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

Sasuke made by controlling the ingredients of the


Sasuke, is mixed with Sasuke's chakra. It was thanks
to this ring that Sasuke was able to find the cherry
tree which was stuck under the rubble. By looking for
a tiny amount of chakra shown in the ring, Sasuke
found the location of Sakura.
This ring is a lifesaver. ...... But after all, I wonder
if it's a hindrance to work. On the way home from the
breakup, Sakura laughed bitterly, took off her ring,
and put it in her pocket. By the time
I become a grandma someday, I'm sure I’ll retire from
work and be a boon, so I’ll do it. I'll keep this ring until then.
So, Sakura gently patted the ring from the top of her pocket.

“Does Sasuke, who became a grandpa, remember this


ring?”
Sarada was made by me for dinner that day. Sarada
that came back with a shopping bag hanging said,
- "I'll make it all today!”
All of a sudden, she declared it. While staying at an
Iruka’s house, she seemed to be completely addicted
to cooking.
- "I think I made a lot of things with Iruka -
sensei, and I think I’ve gone up in my cooking
skills."
The main dish is fried beef with sukiyaki style and
tomatoes. Then there's the side dish, the root
vegetable stew, the rice dish and tomato salad, the
boiled broccoli, and the egg grilled. And, the fillet of
the autumn sword fishes which I made it to the salt
grilled. The pumpkin which made the bean
162 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

jam of the chicken is made of the rice which is piled


up neatly in the teacup and it stir-fried it. It is a whole
salad menu where various side dishes can be eaten
little by little.
- "Wow, it's so crowded! You put a lot of daddy's
favourite food!
- "Well, well... It happened, by chance. The
tomatoes were cheap, so it's a coincidence that there are a
lot of tomatoes on Sasuke’s plate.

We all sat around the table after a long time in the


house, and when we had it, we put our hands
together. Sakura gently kicked Sasuke's ankle under
the table as Sasuke continued to eat without
commenting on the taste. Sasuke raised his face, and
after receiving Sakura's gaze, he got stuck in silence
for a while, and finally noticed, and said,
- "It's good."
- "Oh, really?
- "Yeah... Good.”
As usual, Sakura's husband has few vocabularies.
But it should be transmitted properly.
- "I don't think so. You don't have to worry about it
just because I made it."
The doorbell rang when the table was enclosed for a
while.
"Oh, I'm leaving," Sakura said, holding Sasuke as she
tried to sit up and headed to the front door. When I
opened the door, Shikamaru was standing with a thick
file on his side. - It's bad at dinner.
- You're in a hurry, aren't you?
163 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

- "Yeah... Sarada’s voice looks happy," Shikamaru


said, looking at the back of the hallway.
- "It's not just Sarada, it's also nice. It's been a long
time since I’ve had three members of my family."
- "This is an interim report from Kengakuin on the
results of the analysis of polar particles. I'll give it to you."
- "Thank you," Sakura said,
Thanking him for receiving the file. Zansour's attempt
was thwarted, but there's still a lot to be caught. The
word "the star increased" in the description of the
astronomical picture, and the mark of Konoha. The
meaning of the star that goes far away, and the way
that Zansur had gained sight with his prosthetic eye. I
wanted to collect any small information though both
might be unrelated to the sickness of the six-way
hermit. As long as the object to confront is unknown.

- How's Naruto doing? When Sakura heard it,


Shikamaru shook her head slightly.
- "It's not good. I come out to the fire shadow room
every day to say that I'm going to take a break, and even if I
reduce my work on purpose, I'll find a new job for myself."

- “Just because I was resting doesn't seem to be


any better."
- "That's right,"
Shikamaru glances toward the back of the hallway.
I'm worried about Sarada coming. Don't make your
children uneasy. Circumstances do not leak out. That
was the condition that Naruto put out. When
164 NARUTO – SASUKE RETSUDEN: LEGEND OF
THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

you force Naruto to agree that Shikamaru and the


other people are trying to help Naruto.
- "I'm going to rush the analysis to Kengakuin,"

He said, and Shikamaru exhaled with a big sigh. This


situation is so troublesome that it's too much trouble
to spit out the lines. "If the situation continues, Naruto
will not be able to use chakras for the rest of his
life. ...... I'm not going to let that happen."
