Sasuke has abandoned his friends and slipped out of the Hidden Leaf Village, chasing the power Orochimaru has promised him. Newly promoted to chunin, Shikamaru is handed his first command: bring Sasuke back. He assembles an unlikely squad of genin—Naruto, Neji, Kiba with Akamaru, and Choji—and they race through the gates in pursuit. Standing in their way is the Sound Four, Orochimaru's elite guard, carrying the casket that will remake Sasuke into something new. A rescue mission turns into a desperate chase where every step forward costs blood.

Naruto Vol. 21 spoilers
⚠️ Spoilers ahead.
Shikamaru leads with cold tactical brilliance, but the squad quickly learns this is no ordinary retrieval. Sasuke, sealed inside the casket, is already choosing his own transformation—his heart has left the village for good. The Sound Four, each a cursed-seal user, peel off one by one to stall the pursuers so their prize can escape. Naruto's shouts can't shake Sasuke's resolve. This volume is the hinge where friendship curdles into severance, and it opens the long chain of one-on-one duels against the Sound Four.
