Das mit den Dinos war random aber ich habe es so geliebt! Wer hätte gedacht, dass SasuSaku als Erwachsenen-Couple mir so gefallen würden!

La famiglia Uchiha riunita nelle ultime pagine è qualcosa di prezioso❤️‍🩹

"Ho saputo che... A Redaku si porta un anello sul quarto dito per indicare che si è sposati. Tu lo sapevi? Per caso mi avevi dato quell'anello affinché nessuno mi si avvicinasse?"
"Chi può dirlo?"
"Grazie"

L’histoire fonctionne très bien et l’action est prenante. La relation entre Sasuke et Sakura est vraiment très plaisante à lire, c’est subtil et cohérent, ça montre bien l’évolution des personnages.

Mini Summary
The story follows Sasuke and Sakura on their first mission together as a married couple. They travel to a remote research facility to investigate a mysterious illness connected to Naruto. What starts as a covert mission turns into something much bigger, involving hidden secrets, ancient creatures, and a deeper look into their bond as partners both in battle and in marriage.

I have loved the Naruto series since I was very young and I’ve continued to follow it over the years. Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno have always been two of my favourite characters, and I always wanted them to end up together. Seeing them as endgame at the conclusion of the series made me so happy, especially considering all the ups and downs they went through. I honestly do not care about the hate or criticism they receive. Their journeys, growth, and character development throughout the series speak for themselves.

This manga is an extension of the light novel of the same name, which I have not read yet but definitely plan to. I love that even years after the main story ended, we still get to follow these characters through short stories like this. I have missed them a lot, and this felt like such a comforting return to their world.

What I really enjoyed is how the manga highlights their relationship. It shows how much they have grown, not just individually but together as a couple after everything they have been through. Their bond feels strong, mature, and genuine. This story also helps answer a lot of the questions fans tend to have about their relationship. For me, it reinforces the idea that they were always meant for each other.

I also liked how we get to explore more of the world outside the usual shinobi villages. It adds a sense of freshness to the story. And I have to say, the discovery of dinosaurs completely took me out in the best way. The fact that they refer to them as dragons in their world made it even more entertaining and unexpected.

The emotional moments between Sasuke and Sakura were definitely the highlight for me. Their dynamic feels softer but still true to who they are. You can really see the trust, care, and understanding they have built over time.

This was such an enjoyable read and a meaningful continuation of characters I have loved for years. It felt nostalgic while also giving something new, and I am really glad we get stories like this that let us spend more time with them.

(4,5/5)

Un spin-off court (deux tomes), simple et efficace. J'ai trouvé l'histoire sans prise de tête. Elle est simple et ça a été un plaisir de la suivre. Ici, Sasuke est le personnage principal (normal il y a son nom dans le titre) et on sent que ce n'est pas un "fan made". J'ai beaucoup aimé le fait qu'il soit mis en avant mais sans l'idéalisé non plus. C'est un personnage avec ses défauts et ici, on les laisse.

La romance avec Sakura est toute douce. Une bulle de douceur. Ils sont mariés (spoiler) mais ça ne les empêche pas d'avoir un peu de tendresse l'un envers l'autre. J'aime aussi le fait que Sakura se soit assagie mais qu'elle garde son caractère assez impulsif (sous la pression).

Ce n'est pas un coup de cœur mais ça a été une bonne lecture. Ça m'a fait du bien de repartir dans cet univers avant d'attaquer Boruto plus tard.

The 2nd and final volume for Sasuke Retsuden Manga really tied the story in a beautiful bow. We can see how both Sasuke and Sakura cared not only about each other, but also about Naruto, and most specially Sarada- thinking about her when they were in the beautiful lake sharing a special moment. We get to see another side of Sasuke and how he really have a soft spot for this family. Much like the Sasuke we know before the massacre, it was so refreshing to see the real him with the most special people he cherishes. As Kishimoto-sensei said, Sasuke is pure. Not bad, nor good, just pure. And this story really did his character justice, not to mention special feats fr his wife and how they worked together as a team.

[AJ]

Throughout volume 1 and volume 2, it has some great moments. But it just starts to get sluggish with the pacing. You are going to need to be a hardcore fan of Naruto, plus be super invested with the Sakura and Sasuke ship. Then maybe it will feel like a 4 stars out of 5 for you.

I can think of better interludes between the Naruto/Boruto universe. Like the "Naruto: The Seventh Hokage and the Scarlet Spring."

[Kelly-Ann McFern]

Un tome 2 qui se conclut rapidement, mais bien. J'ai bien adoré voir plus de combats et les compétences de Sasuke et Sakura sont toujours autant épatantes. J'aurais aimé voir Sakura ne pas avoir besoin de l'aide de Sasuke, mais je comprends aussi que de cette manière on montre encore plus les subtilités de leur relation amoureuse.

Un excellent two-shot, bien que j'aurais aimé en avoir plus car j'adore Naruto. Ça donne vraiment le goût de lire le reste!

[Belinda]

Such an epic end. There are fucking dinosaurs y’all! Dinosaurs!! Lmfaooo. I can’t believe they really resurrected dinosaurs in a world of shinobi. It’s not really about the dinosaurs though. It is about Sasuke and Sakura’s marriage and their love for one another. And you know, I think that really comes through here. The man really fucking loves her. So suck it, haters.

[LaVonne]

The plot was silly and very cute. Sasuke and Sakura vs a Jurassic park coup d’etat? I’ll take it.

There were some sweet and funny moments. This is kind of the things you look for when you grow up with these characters.
