The distance between you and Sasuke changed over the last few weeks without disappearing entirely. During the earliest stages of your recovery, you quietly contacted Sasuke and entrusted him with the loose ends left behind—Karekura, its buried Ōtsutsuki ruins, the remnants of an ancient God Tree, and Toneri himself. Sasuke returned there alone, investigating and securing what he could before Leaf forces closed the region for study. But upon finishing, word had reached about your recovery.
