Sasuke’s Story: Sakura Pays Homage to Two Wayward Hokages – With an Ocean’s Eleven Twist
Sakura uses an Ocean’s Eleven viewpoint in Naruto: Sasuke’s Story — The Uchiha and the Heavenly Stardust: The Manga, pointing to several dubious Hokages.
The Uchiha Ranger in Naruto: Sasuke’s Story — The Uchiha and the Heavenly Stardust: The Manga is left racking his brains for a treatment for Naruto’s ailment. He is uncovering information on the same illness the Sage of the Six Paths had when operating incognito in a Redaku jail. Fortunately, Sakura showed up dressed as a nurse to assist with further information from Kakashi.
It’s desperately required since Sasuke is battling to avoid Zansru, the evil warden. He internalises throughout this process some of his flaws with his wife and how he may not fully comprehend love and marriage. In Chapter 4 of this spinoff manga, Sakura proves to Sasuke how flexible she is in the field by imitating some of the ancient Hokage defects and the Ocean’s Eleven movies.
Sakura Cheats at a Gambling Game
Sakura and Sasuke are aware that they need access to the jail library in order to get “The Map of Heaven,” a book. They think it contains information from Tataru, the guy who created the location, and the Sage from many years ago who assisted in treating the shinobi god. In the end, Sakura takes on the role of a janitor/prisoner in the card game “Star Line,” hoping to earn his key to the library.
She engages in a few games of the poker-like game, with draws occurring in each one. The impatient, irritated man gives in and just hands her the key. Later, she explains to Sasuke that it’s a cover for cheating since, despite memorising and manipulating her hand to count cards, she wasn’t interested in choosing any cards to win. She knew such kind of bargaining would be unjust and tilt the odds in her favour since she lacked dignity and respect, so she merely mentally tricked the man, anticipating his surrender and handing her the reward.
Chapter 4 of Sasuke’s Story Nods to Lady Tsunade and Hashirama
With a wink to Danny Ocean and company from the Ocean’s Eleven films, Sakura effectively hustles the man. They would act in the manner she did given the tense atmosphere, the way she pulled this rabbit out of the hat, and her use of trump cards to win. In reality, Danny often uses the strategy of losing as a type of deception before he completely surprises his opponents. In Sakura’s instance, she maintains her disguise but acts more subtly and covertly.
By chance, she discovered this while playing cards with Lady Tsunade, the rebellious Hokage who trained her as a medical ninja in Naruto. Tsunade employs the same strategy in Sasuke’s Story as she did when Sakura would weary of the draws and give in. Tsunade’s terrible behaviour may be traced back to Senju Hashirama, the First Hokage of Konoha.
The Hidden Leaf wasn’t at risk because to the first Hokage’s addiction to drinking and gambling. Hashirama did, however, lose a lot, and Tsunade took on his frustration at losing. As this vice was passed on, it educated Sakura; her countermeasure finally succeeds as she captures the house and gains access to the library, where they find that the solution to Naruto’s illness could be found back in Konoha.
