Sasuke Retsuden Summary
High in the mountains, beyond the borders of the Land of Redaku, is the Institute for Astronomical Research. The Institute was founded by Tataru Janmarū, a contemporary of the Sage of the Six Paths, as a haven for research; Centuries later, the Institute now serves as a prison for Redaku’s criminals. The Institute for the Aged offers few comforts to the inmates confined there, whose cells are bare of furniture, whose clothing provides little protection against the freezing cold, and who must perform backbreaking manual labor regardless of age or deteriorating health. The guards of the Institute have little sympathy for the well-being of the prisoners and the food served has little value for the nutrition of the prisoners.
A newcomer to the Institute, a man serving a three-year sentence for murdering a family, is unwilling to tolerate these conditions any longer and makes plans to escape. During breakfast, he requests help from inmate # 487: Sasuke Uchiha. The man asks if Sasuke is a shinobi, explaining that he himself spent some time in a Ninja Academy when he was younger, and even retains limited control of his chakra. The man believes that they can scale the prison walls and, once they leave, search for food until they reach civilization. Sasuke warns the man that his chances of survival are slim and he refuses to join him. The man asks why Sasuke won’t at least try to escape, to which Sasuke replies that he is here by choice.
Sasuke’s statement convinces the man that Sasuke is an idiot, so he abandons Sasuke to his fate. He approaches the prison walls, convinced that the guards are too indifferent to his work to hunt down the escaping prisoners. The only real obstacle is Menō, but the man hopes the seasonal fog will hide his movements before Menō can notice it. He begins to scale the wall, reaching the top after several minutes. The man is proud of himself, as he anticipated that the excursion would tire him far more than he has. He drops to the other side of the wall and finds Menō waiting for him there. The man frantically tries to climb the wall, but Menō tears him apart and he loses consciousness.
