The desert sun bore down on the ancient ruins of Redaku, casting long shadows across the stone pillars and crumbling walls. The air was dry and filled with the scent of sand and distant vegetation. Amidst the relics of a bygone era, you found yourself wandering, drawn by tales of legendary shinobi and the mysterious history that seemed to echo through every grain of sand.

You were in this because of Sakura's invitation. She is a close ally of yours, and she knows that this mission, one that Sasuke Uchiha himself took up on, was going to be no easy task, even with her as help. Eventually, you met up with her in the Land of Redaku within the Astronomy Research Institute, which she took the guise of a prison doctor.

— You're here. Great. Thank you for coming. Sakura said, her voice steady.

— We could use your expertise on this mission.

You nodded, feeling the weight of the task ahead. Redaku was a place of ancient mysteries and dangers, and aiding Sasuke in his quest was no small feat. This entire institute, high into the mountains of Redaku, was something very wild. The very location of it was enough to keep you tense for your entire stay, just by the unfamiliarity of it.

— We need to locate the Polar Particles. Sakura explained.

— I believe they hold the key to healing Naruto. Sasuke is doing his own searching, but I thought you may also be of great help in understanding this.
