According to the synopses of Naruto: Sasuke’s Story – Sunrise, “The Great Ninja War has ended, but to untangle the mystery that remains, Sasuke sets out on a journey – a journey that he hopes will allow him to atone for his sins. During his travels, those ninja faithful to the avenger Sasuke bring about tragedy. Meanwhile, danger closes in on the villages of Konoha, Kiri, and Kumo, where red eyes burn with hatred. What is the future Sasuke stares down?” reported Anime News Network.
Sasuke is one of the few characters who is as interesting as Naruto Shippuden himself. Owing to the painful history about his village, his family, and more importantly, his own brother that the ninja witnessed, Sasuke worked exceptionally hard at the Academy. Driven by vengeance against his own elder brother, Sasuke was one of the rare students who actively shunned advances from the fairer sex at school, much to the chagrin of Naruto. Disliking Sasuke’s cool personality and hating all the attention he received, Naruto initially developed a rivalry that didn’t affect the former. However, the childish rivalry eventually blossomed into a long-lasting and deep friendship that has witnessed the test of time.

Although there has been no official confirmation yet, Sasuke’s journey may also unravel his exploits and missions he undertook clandestinely to help maintain peace in the Five Great Nations. In the past, there have been mere indications or hints of Sasuke’s involvement. The novel may indicate what exactly the ninja did as a true shinobi.
