In the Naruto lore, the Hokage's bond with Kurama is one of the source material's most intriguing arcs. Naruto suffered as a kid, being viewed as an outsider by Konoha after his parents died, sacrificing themselves against the Nine Tails Demon Fox. They ended up putting the Tailed Beast inside the boy, not realizing it was all part of Kaguya's manipulation of Obito and Madara Uchiha.

Nonetheless, Naruto persevered, showing Kurama that they could be heroes together rather than social pariahs. Admittedly, the creature didn't like saving humanity at first, but in time the fox would learn from Naruto and become an inspirational figure as well, to other Tailed Beasts and the human hosts known as the jinchūriki. Unfortunately, some shocking news has developed in Chapter 3 of Naruto: Sasuke's Story -- The Uchiha and the Heavenly Stardust regarding Naruto and the fox's bond

As Naruto: Sasuke's Story -- The Uchiha and the Heavenly Stardust rolls on, fans are learning a lot regarding Uchiha Sasuke's loyalty to Konoha. He's committed to finding a cure for Naruto's illness in this manga spinoff, reminding fans how much he's changed as a Ranger. Still, he's cutting that same cold and calculating figure, which admittedly is an iconic style that the franchise just won't change.

His journey takes him undercover at a prison in the mountains of Redaku, but little does he know the dark secrets being kept there. Sasuke ends up investigating the shady warden, Zansūru, and his pet raptor, Menō, but he underestimates the villain. Luckily, help comes his way in Chapter 3 -- but it's quite the eye-opener in how it reveals a major communications problem back home, nodding to a Game of Thrones issue.
