Sasuke Story: The Uchiha and the heavenly stardust chapter 9 focus on how control of these said beasts. Chapter 8 concluded with Sasuke ready to attack Zansul while JiJi went after Sakura. Both were in cahoots to accomplish their sinister plans. This chapter features an epic battle centered on control between Sasuke and Zansul. If you haven’t read chapter 9, I suggest you do so because this article will contain major spoilers.
Sasuke and Meno prepare to attack
The chapter begins with Sasuke and his Velociraptor pet (Meno) working together to defeat Zansul. Sasuke will draw the attention of the small ones while Meno will handle the Sauropods. Sasuke creates a Susannoo arm shooting Meno at the big one. There are a lot of small dragons coming for Sasuke(from the sky: Pteras and from the land: Orniths) so he uses Chidori to strike all them down. You see, Sasuke brought down the Pteras using them to attack the Orniths. Meno climbs on the big dinosaur preparing to attack Zansul but he asks the Pteras to defend him.
Pteras in this case refer to the Pteranodon
Orniths refer to Ornithopoda
Sauropod - the huge dinosaur with long neck and tail referred here to as the big 'one'
Sasuke Teaming Up With Meno
Zansul has a connection with them making communication easy. A Ptera uses its claws to lift up Zansul flying him away the moment Meno tries attacking him. Zansul ever expected Meno would give him so much trouble. He realizes Sasuke might’ve given Meno a specific order to follow. Zansul asks the Pteras to kill Sasuke. Sasuke activates his Sharingan holding his word towards his chest. He casually evades the using Chidori to perform a similar move as seen above. Sasuke tells Zansul he doesn’t think twice about bossing the dragons(pteras) even though he’s not the one in control of the revival jutsu.
The Sauropod is chasing Meno. Meno is headed directly towards Sasuke. It was at this moment the two decided to perform a combo with his pet. He tosses his word up at, swaps places with the sword (remember, he still has his Rinnegan). The sword now in Sasuke’s position gets into Meno’s eyes. I think he casts a genjutsu from above manipulating Meno. Meno smartly cuts the two front legs of the giant dinosaur. It falls into a lake filled with water. Because of the size, it couldn’t escape. Zansul asks the dragon currently lifting him up to go assist the giant dinosaur in the lake. It follows his order but it let him fall. This was because he countermanded his previous order.
JIJi Attacks Sakura
Sasuke questions himself about Zansul losing control of his dragon. He tells Meno they should head back to the observatory. Sasuke receives a message asking himself who would send a message at the moment. Back the observatory, Sakura is facing some problems with the dragons. She asks the others to run away but Penzila and Ganno keep fighting. They attack the dragons/dinosaur hitting it with a digger. Unfortunately, it keeps healing itself. From a distance, Sakura sees Jiji on a Ptera so she starts running away. Jiji stops her by creating a mud wall in front of her made from Earth Style. They both come face-to-face. Sakura asks Jiji what he’s after forcing people and dragons to suffer. Jiji replies telling her he always wished for her and Sasuke to live happily ever after but due to the circumstances, he will have to kill her. Jiji as he walks towards her is trapped, in turns out Sakura actually lured him into the trap. It’s a seal. Jiji asks Sakura when she placed the seal on him. Sakura confesses she did so when he visited the infirmary. She could easily detect a chakra user from a quick examination because she’s talented in her field.
JiJi's Motive
Jiji knows he’s not breaking out of the seal so all he can hope for is if Zansul shows up. Sasuke along with Meno join the conversation. Sasuke reveales a shocking discovery (it’s shocking to anyone who hasn’t read the novel or watched the anime adaptation). Jiji is actually the person using the revival jutsu. Sasuke collects the scroll with the ultra-particles from within his shirt. Jiji realizes Sasuke was able to locate the scroll because he’s an Uchiha. He was made aware of this when Sasuke activated the Sharingan. Jiji believes Zansul had no chance of beating because of this same fact. Jiji knows Sasuke will use genjutsu to get what he wants but Sasuke asks him a question. That question was about his goal. Zansul wanted to use these revived dragons for wars but Jiji according to Sasuke is someone who would do anything for his nation. According to Sasuke, Zansul is dead so he will hand over Jiji to the Redaku authorities and head home but before he does that, he wants to know if there are any extenuating Circumstances.
Jiji decides to tell him the truth. Jiji was a rogue shinobi from the hidden sand, so he went to the capital because he got invited to join a private army that was being put together by the prime minister. During his stay there, the boss assigned a a maid to tend to him. He fell in love with her even though she was a hooker and made up his mind spending his life with her rather than working for another’s army. The prime minister asked him to assist Zansul and if he successfully does that, he will be able to leave his army and live with Margo but unfortunately, an epidemic killed her before he could make that happen.
According to Jiji, Zansul and the Prime Minister made him an offer. If Jiji agreed to revive dragons, they would give him Margo’s body. Jiji loved her so much he was planning on using the revival jutsu on her just to bring her alive. Jiji asks Sasuke if he’d do the same. Sakura tells Jiji she’d use Edo Tensei if she had it and if she lost someone she loved. She goes on saying their (Sasuke and Sakura’s) friends would stop them. She also tells him Margo wouldn’t want to be brought back by Jutsu.
Everything Turns Out Fine
Sasuke asked Jiji how he knew about her death and he replied saying he saw her death certificate. Sasuke received a letter. From the letter, the New King Nanara brought down the dictatorship and had the Queen and Prime Minister moved to the capital. It’s said one of the king’s attendants who used to be a maid has been very helpful. It turns out her name is Margo. This means Margo is still alive. Jiji is so happy he starts crying, Sasuke thinks Zansul probably came up with the scheme. A dinosaur tries attacking Sakura but she punches it (very different from her anime counterpart). It’s ready to attack again but Jiji undid his jutsu. All the Dragons and dinosaurs starts breaking down including Meno.
Sasuke says ’farewell’ to a good friend …..Meno
Closure
Sasuke has worked with lots of creatures and people in his life before but no one would guess he’d work this well with a dinosaur. It must be a gift. He worked with Meno so well I actually thought about Naruto.
