Sasuke Retsudenis continuing in some fashion and the manga is only getting better with each passing chapter. Last week, the story saw Sasuke and Sakura locate a few clues about the goal that they seek, which is locating the Ultra Particles and seeking out the Map of the Heavens. Thanks to their work together, the two arrived at the conclusion that these Ultra Particles will help cure Naruto’s sickness, just as it helpedthe Sage of Six Pathsa long ago when he also suffered from a similar disease.

The two then decided to target Jiji, since he was in charge of the library and this week’s chapter focused on that to quite an extent, on top of adding more mysteries to the story. Fans also got to see Sasuke and Sakura combine brilliantly inSasuke Retsudenchapter 4 and a lot more focus was thrown on the latter, which is always great to see, given that the original story doesn’t do much for her character.
Sakura And Jiji
As expected, the chapter picked up right from where the last one left off, with Sasuke and Sakura going up to Jiji. Knowing that he is a gambler,Sasuke tried to act surprisedat the fact that he was in a library. Immediately after, Sakura walked in and started working her magic. She forced information about the Map of the Heavens out of Jiji and then proceeded to play against him for the key that led to the secret library base where the Map of the Heavens would potentially be stored. While Sasuke was ready to cheat their way through to the key, Sakura actually showed great intellect and managed to play Jiji with her memorization skills alone.
Despite them playing several rounds,Sakura eventually came out on topand she then proceeded to take the key from him. Expectedly, it was made clear immediately after that going to the library isn’t safe. Sasuke and Sakura will have to sneak to the best of their abilities and find what they are looking for, and that is the Map of the Heavens. What’s more, Jiji went on to mention that even if the records show that the Map of the Heavens could be in there, the book could potentially have been moved away, which would make things even more complicated for the group from Konoha. Nonetheless, Sasuke and Sakura were not going to miss this opportunity and they certainly made the most of it.

Sasuke And Sakura Work Together
Fans got to see Sasuke and Sakura hold deep conversations with each other in this week’s chapter.Sasuke Retsudenchapter 4 gave fans what they had been longing for and that is chemistry between this couple. As fans know, Kishimoto focused very little on the romantic aspect of Naruto. In fact, even the basis for the romance that bloomed between these two characters was very underwhelming, to say the least. This chapter worked on what was missing brilliantly and portrayed a very beautiful relationship between the two. It especially showed the fans how important Sakura is to Sasuke. Without her, Sasuke certainly wouldn’t have gotten to the root of the mysteries and she was doing the heavy lifting in this week’s chapter. Fans also got to see Sasuke put a ring on Sakura’s finger which he createdusing Earth Style Jutsu. This was certainly another romantic moment for this couple, who then went on to fulfill their mission.
Upon breaking into the library, the two immediately located the Map of the Heavens, which was rather surprising. Normally, it is expected for an important object such as the Map of the Heavens to be harder to locate. However, against all expectations, the Map of the Heavens was right in front of them. Opening the map painted an interesting picture, however. Were quite a few paintings in there done with soot and oil, which Sakura initially speculated to be Sai’s work. However, upon closer inspection, the two came to the conclusion that it was done by none other than the Sage of Six Paths, who had previously visited this place as well. Upon further studies, it was revealed that the pictures in there were actually depicting constellations, and lining them up together would give the two their next clue about where to find the Ultra Particles.
Once again,Sakura’s genius was put on displayas Sasuke wasn’t able to figure out all this quite as easily. This was incredible for Sakura’s character and it also built the bond between the husband and wife as, towards the end, Sasuke appeared to be glad that he can always rely on his trusty wife. Sakura then went on to claim that she would be able to line them up in 2 days, however, an even more intriguing mystery popped up towards the end of the chapter, when a note from Konoha appeared in the Map of the Heavens. What this means right now remains unknown, however, the next chapter will certainly be extremely intriguing for the fans to read.
