[Spoilers] Sasuke Main Character of New Novel

[IIB7252]

It seems that at the beginning of November, they'll release a novel written by Akira Higashiyama (the same author of the 'Blood Prison' novel and of the Jiraiya book novel) with Sasuke as the main character...

It will be called 'Jinraiden - Ookami no naku hi' ('The Thunder Chronicles - The Day when the Wolf Howled'), and it will apparently be set during the 3 years when he trained under Orochimaru.

More news, Kishi will be doing the illustrations for the novel

I managed to find a short summary of the novel posted on

Since it's the same in all three sites, I'm guessing it must be reliable.

"Set after his fight to the death with Itachi.

Sasuke sets out on a trip, chasing the riddle of the letters written on something left behind by his dead brother.

The unknown story of his journey from 'Snake' to 'Hawk' will finally be revealed in this novel!

A Sasuke gaiden, presented here in a deluxe sleeve binding!"


The book will be 224 pages long.

Seems like the info about the story being set during the Orochimaru years really was just speculation brougth on by the word 'gaiden'...

Well, Kishi is listed as 'illustrator'... but that could also just be because he drew the cover.

Why don't they publish some of Jiraiya's novels.
Those books can easily become bestsellers.

From the latest interview with Takeuchi-san (Naruto's seiyuu).

Starting from about minute 8:00:

"Also, there's one more thing... it's about the movie, and - ah, but this is dangerous! I mean, this program is being streamed on Ustream, isn't it?"

"It is."

(Takeuchi-san says that if she talks, she will get some people angry... but the interviewer keeps egging her on, saying "Yet you still want to tell it all, don't you?")

"...well, it's because this is something that was said by Kishimoto-sensei. This time, Kishimoto-sensei ended up creating both the story and the characters for the movie himself... so it was really amazing. Though. To. Tell. You. The. Truth. While this movie was about Naruto and his growth, a movie where Naruto could grow up... Kishimoto-sensei's first suggestion was 'How about we make the story about Sasuke?'"

"Eh!? That is really interesting!"

"Everyone, please don't spread this around! Anyway - as expected, not making Naruto appear in a movie about the manga 'NARUTO' seemed a little, well... so, as expected, it ended up being a story that showed Naruto's growth, by returning once again to Naruto's starting point. Only, as expected..."

"Oooh? What is it, what is it?"

"Well, because of that, he couldn't write the story about Sasuke - but somewhere inside his heart, with Naruto being shown like that... and considering that there are also many points that he wasn't able to draw in Sasuke's story, what with him being the other pillar and all... well, he certainly talked as if he wanted to make an announcement, right there in front of everyone."

"Eeeeeeh! That is really interesting!"

"Isn't it! So perhaps, if this movie is popular and well-received by everyone, Kishimoto might take into his hands next year's movie too... and then he might write Sasuke's story... and maybe even Kakashi's story while he's at it! Things like those, you know?"

"I see!"
