Naruto Retsuden is a light novel series which was released from June to October 2019. Unlike previous series of novels, the three Naruto Retsuden novels are all written by Jun Esaka, causing plot details to carryover between novels far more heavily.

2. Sasuke Retsuden: The Uchiha Descendants and the Heavenly Stardust (うちはの末裔と天球の星屑); 2019/8/2

Before Naruto's birth, a great demon fox had attacked the Hidden Leaf Village. A man known as the 4th Hokage sealed the demon inside the newly born Naruto, causing him to unknowingly grow up detested by his fellow villagers. Despite his lack of talent in many areas of ninjutsu, Naruto strives for only one goal: to gain the title of Hokage, the strongest ninja in his village. Desiring the respect he never received, Naruto works towards his dream with fellow friends Sasuke and Sakura and mentor Kakashi as they go through many trials and battles that come with being a ninja. 

Sasuke and Sakura take on ancient secrets, deadly conspiracies, and even dragons in this manga adaptation of the novel.
 
Years after the great shinobi war, Naruto is struck with a mysterious illness. Desperate for a cure, Sasuke Uchiha heads for the isolationist land of Redaku, where he’ll need to infiltrate an astronomical observatory that’s being operated as a prison for deadly criminals. There he rendezvouses with none other than his wife, Sakura, and together they dive into an undercover investigation in search of traces of the Sage of Six Paths! With danger lurking around every corner, what fate will lie in store for the ninja couple?
