Crossover Anime: Transmigrated as Sasuke, but Must Start from Prince of Tennis

"Then just tell me directly what you want and what you can do to achieve it."

Once Sasuke realized that Ashura didn't need his help, he turned to Gin Ichimaru, signaling that he could now state his terms.

Even if you set conditions, they may not be useful, but it doesn't hurt to listen to them.

"I want Rangiku to be safe. Under that premise, I can continue to work for Aizen in Hueco Mundo. The word 'work' is one of your own."

Looking at Sasuke's strange expression, Gin Ichimaru emphasized where the concept of 'part-time job' came from.

It's Sasuke from Hueco Mundo. When he was lecturing those Arrancar, he talked about the costs and benefits of being a worker.

Now he wants to be a part-time Grim Reaper, and his reward is to protect Matsumoto Rangiku.

"Who told you we could take on Vice-Captain Rangiku?"

Sasuke mentally scoffed at the concept of "working class," then looked at Gin Ichimaru with disdain, suspecting that he was just using this as an excuse to get some free time.

Neither he nor Aizen had Matsumoto Rangiku in their plans from beginning to end.

If we're talking about the vice-captain who was schemed against, it's always been Hinamori Momo.

"Conflict is inevitable sooner or later. When the two sides clash, Rangiku will surely appear on the battlefield..."

Gin Ichimaru thought his request was fine.

"If that kind of situation ever comes, you can just deal with Matsumoto Rangiku. Whether you fight or not is entirely up to you, isn't it?"

Thinking back to the original storyline, it seems that Gin Ichimaru also stabbed Rangiku Matsumoto.

Sasuke's gaze fell on Gin Ichimaru's Zanpakuto. This guy really had the guts to do that.

"I understand. I'll go back and talk to Captain Aizen about work. You guys have fun. Even if you kill Barragan, it's fine. That guy is only good for causing trouble for Aizen, so he has no purpose."

After pondering for a while, Gin Ichimaru decided that he could go and talk to Aizen.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to tell Sasuke that Barragan was actually a nuisance in Las Noches, and it would be best if he could be dealt with.

"Barragan is indeed useless. Lord Uchiha mentioned that he would be killed sooner or later."

Ulquiorra was going back with Gin Ichimaru. Before leaving, he bowed to Sasuke and relayed what the other Sasuke had said.

Although it's unclear how a person could split into two, that doesn't stop him from sharing the information.

As for Barragan, whose subordinates had already been killed on the battlefield, and who was now nearly wiped out even by the surrounding Hollows...

His presence only brings constant trouble to Hueco Mundo. Although the problems are not serious, they are still quite annoying.

"Okay, I know what to do."

Sasuke smiled and waved for Ulquiorra to leave. He understood why his shadow clone had tried to kill Barragan.

A guy who thinks he's a king will definitely not listen to anyone in this Hueco Mundo Palace, and will cause a lot of trouble.

In that case, he can stay inside the formation.

Making a new Hogyoku and adding a Vasto Lorde isn't exactly a waste of resources.

"Master, may I borrow Amaterasu again?"

After dealing with the other Hollows, Ashura looked at Barragan, who had already activated his Resurrection form, and decided to finish him off with Amaterasu.

Although he was capable of fighting, he calculated that Amaterasu, while a bit more strenuous, was much more worthwhile than taking the risk himself.

"Ah."

Sasuke agreed and then appeared beside Ashura.

After Ashura received a response, his originally clear black pupils glowed red, and a happy smile appeared amidst the twinkling of the six-pointed star.

Opposite him, Barragan sensed something was wrong when he saw the red eyes; the previous black flames had instilled in him an indelible fear.

"Don't kill me! I know everything about Hueco Mundo, you can't kill me..."

Barragan wasn't this panicked when facing Aizen, but now he knew he had no choice but to back down; there was an unquenchable black flame in this man's eyes.

"You're useless!"

Ashura shook his head; he couldn't possibly keep this guy around.

As for the information about the dotted circle...

Even if there are any secrets, they can find them themselves.

"Damn humans..."

Barragan was powerful, but when the black flames appeared in his void, he was powerless to stop them.

One of his abilities after his release is Death Sigh.

This ability can rapidly age everything it touches, but this flame seems immortal and inextinguishable, with no end in sight...

"Master, isn't this a waste?"

Asura watched as Barragan was consumed by black flames, his form gradually dissipating into spiritual particles around him, worried that his momentary recklessness might disrupt his master's plans.

Even if it was truly a disturbance, the situation is now a fait accompli...

"No, even if Amaterasu swallowed a part of it, I'll still come out ahead."

Sasuke reached out and placed his hand on Ashura's head. Ashura's Mangekyou Sharingan blinked, and the Amaterasu Flame, which was still burning with spiritual particles, was put away.

In his palm was Ashura, who had suddenly turned into a kitten. At this moment, Ashura was holding his finger, staring at his big cat eyes with curiosity.

Although he could borrow the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan, he knew that while he could control and release flames like Amaterasu, he didn't realize that it could actually be taken back...

"Master is indeed the most powerful!"

Ashura lay in Sasuke's palm, shaking her little head at him.

He was already very used to praising his owner.

Moreover, he did indeed discover that there was still a huge gap between his strength and that of his master.

"Normal operation, being able to both control and release power is the best way to control it. I'll teach you when you can play with it freely later, not now."

Sasuke smiled and shook his head; his cat was getting more and more well-behaved.

However, the Mangekyou Sharingan cannot be used too much. Even with Ashura to bear the negative effects, it is still necessary to evolve into the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan as soon as possible.

Chapter 216 The New Hogyoku: It's Called the Shikon Jewel

"Uchiha-sama!"

Several figures rushed over. The blonde Harribel looked at Sasuke, who was in the midst of a spiritual pressure storm, and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Stay away, you guys! This isn't something you can touch!"

Sasuke had no memory of those Arrancar; those were all things done by Shadow Clones.

He moved them a little further away and continued to manipulate the formation, condensing the chaotic spiritual particles toward the core of the 'Hōgyoku' in front of him.

"Oh dear, you came here without even saying hello. I thought Gin Ichimaru was joking!"

Sasuke, wearing a quarter-red mask, appeared. Seeing his true form still busy forming hand seals and controlling the array, he smiled and took a step forward, standing face to face with him.

"What are you doing here? I don't have time right now."

Sasuke glared at the shadow clone. He was busy forging the new Hogyoku, and the shadow clone would have to wait a while to return, otherwise it would disrupt his rhythm.

"I'm just taking a look. Aizen has been working on a plan lately, intending to find a place with strong spiritual energy to forge a King Key. Do you have any suggestions?"

The shadow clone wasn't there to cause trouble, but he didn't intend to help either.

Before returning, the Shadow Clones didn't know what Sasuke's operating mode was.

Although it has only been half a year, both the main body and the shadow clones have made great progress in their understanding of power.

"Wang Jian? Can't the Hogyoku take him there?"

Sasuke found that chatting with himself was quite interesting.

Especially now, since he can't take it back, he really doesn't know why Aizen is messing with the King Key.

According to his understanding of the Hogyoku, Aizen could directly reach the Zero Division without needing to build the King's Key.

Or rather, he could have gotten to the Soul King's Palace in many ways, but he deliberately caused an accident just to start a war with the Soul Society.

So they must be so bored that they want to stir things up to get noticed, right?

"Not yet. He's always showing off his Hogyoku. I've almost snatched it from him several times, just to see how cocky he'll be then..."

The shadow clone snorted unhappily. He found Aizen an interesting partner, but the guy had really gotten a bit cocky lately.

"It's probably almost finished."

Sasuke could probably guess that Aizen was definitely doing it on purpose.

Although he had never met Aizen in the human world, that guy had no shortage of sources of information.

It was because they knew they were in Karakura Town that there hadn't been any Hollows causing trouble there for a long time.

However, Aizen appeared in front of me with the Hogyoku. Could it be that he thinks I, like him, have had my soul cut in half?

The thought that Aizen might be thinking in this direction suddenly made Sasuke feel a little depressed.

He didn't have Aizen's ruthless nature, like cutting himself in half with a single stroke.

"Who knows if he's finished yet? That guy's getting weirder and weirder. He used to act all profound, but now he's too lazy to even pretend anymore."

The shadow clone showed no mercy when criticizing Aizen; if he weren't outmatched, he would have wanted to hit him several times.

"Don't be angry with him. I'll talk to him when I'm done with my work."

Sasuke laughed when he saw his shadow clone looking angry.

He suddenly seemed to understand why, at certain points in the ninja world, Naruto Uzumaki enjoyed playing games with his shadow clones.

Aside from loneliness, the main reason is that it allows you to discover various aspects of yourself.

Each shadow clone carries its own emotions and thoughts. Often, what we cannot see in ourselves can be found in the shadow clones.

"That guy's strength has increased again. I can't beat him now, but we still need to work harder!"

The shadow clone reached out and picked up the cat from Sasuke's shoulder. As for talking to Aizen, he still felt that there was no real need to do so.

"It's not like we'll actually fight, it's okay."
