“He couldn’t help remembering his own training back when he was still a genin, those long days alongside Naruto and Sakura under Kakashi’s tutelage. He’d only been attached to Team Seven briefly, and he’d wanted to become a ninja for different reasons from the rest of them. Even so, that brief period had laid deep roots inside of Sasuke, roots that held fast even now. With a wry smile, he realized he was, of all things, waxing nostalgic, which was very unlike him.”

A temporary change in leadership for Team Seven, and an extremist religious cult engaging in terrorism. An overall pretty solid story. Jun Esaka did a good job writing Sasuke, arguably better than Kishimoto himself. A fairly short read, but the pacing was really solid and the action sequences were fun.

I don’t remember much of what happened in this book but I’m pretty sure I enjoyed this one too, getting to read about older Sasuke and the students
