Naruto: Sasuke Uchiha Returns from Soul Society

"Yeah......"

Rukia's tense body suddenly relaxed, and she staggered backward a few steps uncontrollably, leaning against the stone wall before barely managing to steady herself.

That's great... He's alright.

An indescribable joy instantly overwhelmed her.

"Then come here..."

Rukia raised her head again, her confusion deepening. "What was it all for?"

"For a pointless agreement."

"An agreement?" Rukia was stunned.

"Yes."

Sasuke turned his head to the side. "Someone wants to save you, and I promised to help."

"Don't save me!"

Rukia blurted out, her voice filled with determination as she strode forward, "Don't you understand where you are?!"

She pointed to the deathly still night sky outside the window.

"Even if you can get me out of here now, we can't escape Seireitei! There are over a dozen captains outside, including the Captain-Commander! We'll be caught, and then you'll be caught too..."

"Of course I know."

Sasuke interrupted her again, his eyes giving her a look as if she were an idiot.

"Do you think I'm like that idiot with the orange hair, a fool who just charges forward on impulse?"

He slowly sheathed "Indra," saying, "I will not take you away now."

"Huh?" Rukia was stunned.

Aren't you going to take her with you?

So why did he risk so much to sneak in here tonight?

"I just came to check if you're still alive, and by the way..."

Sasuke's gaze swept over her prison uniform and pale face, a mocking smile playing on his lips.

"Let's see if that idiot is really worth risking his life to save his companion."

"Looking at it now, the result is passable."

"You..." Rukia Kuchiki was speechless, choked by his words.

Uchiha Sasuke ignored her angry but speechless expression and turned to walk away.

"Then what exactly is this all about?" Rukia didn't understand and subconsciously continued to ask.

Sasuke stopped at the cell door.

"Before the execution, that idiot will cause chaos outside, and then I'll come back again."

After saying that, he didn't pause, and his figure gradually disappeared back into the darkness outside the door.

The cell fell silent once more.

Rukia Kuchiki stood there alone.

Ichigo... is he coming too?

Do not!no!

A wave of fear instantly gripped her heart.

She couldn't imagine what it would be like for Ichigo to face his older brother and the entire Gotei 13.

He will die.

He's going to die!

"no......"

Rukia's lips trembled as she rushed to the cell door and let out a hoarse roar into the darkness.

"Come back! Uchiha Sasuke! You come back here!"

"Don't let him come! Did you hear me?!"

However, the only answer she received was her own desperate echo.

........

Sasuke's figure emerged from the shadows of the Penitentiary Palace and stepped steadily onto the bridge connecting the tower and the Seireitei.

It was a snow-white stone bridge, which, under the moonlight, resembled a huge skeleton lying between two sides.

Beneath the bridge lies unfathomable darkness.

The bridge is bathed in the soft glow of the moon.

Just as Sasuke was about to reach the middle of the bridge.

The wind stopped.

The distant footsteps of the Grim Reaper patrol also quietly disappeared.

Even the spiritual particles flowing in the air seemed to fall into a deathly silence.

The whole world seemed to hold its breath in anticipation of this upcoming encounter.

Sasuke stopped abruptly and slowly raised his head.

On the other side of the bridge, a figure had appeared, seemingly out of nowhere.

He was a man wearing a captain's haori, black-rimmed glasses, holding a book in his arms, and with a smile as warm as the spring sun on his face.

He didn't exude any spiritual pressure, nor did he reveal any killing intent; he just stood there quietly.

It seemed as if it had become one with the moonlight.

However, it was precisely this harmless demeanor that made Sasuke's eyes become extremely serious.

This man...

He couldn't see through it.

His right hand unconsciously and slowly rested on the "Indra" sash at his waist.

My fingertips trembled slightly.

The man on the bridge seemed to have noticed his actions, and the smile on his face appeared even gentler in the moonlight.

The two stood facing each other across half a long bridge under the moonlight.

There were no words, no actions.

It was like a silent ceremony.

for a long time.

The man slowly raised his hand, adjusted his glasses, and bowed slightly, his movements as elegant as if he were going to a rendezvous he had waited for for a thousand years.

Then he spoke.

The sound was very soft, yet like the tolling of a fateful bell, it echoed clearly across the deathly silent bridge.

"Our first formal meeting, Uchiha Sasuke."

He nodded slightly, his eyes behind his glasses filled with undisguised admiration.

"My name is Aizen Sousuke."

Chapter 102 Above the Heavens (Seeking monthly votes!)

Sasuke Uchiha gripped the black Indra sword at his waist tightly.

The crimson Sharingan slowly rotated in the moonlight, clearly reflecting the figure in front of it.

Aizen Sousuke.

Sasuke silently repeated the name in his mind, but he couldn't find any related information in his past memories.

The Fifth Division is a squad responsible for rescuing Shinigami who are in trouble during battle.

As the second support team after the Third Division, their presence wasn't particularly strong.

In Sasuke's limited memory, the captain of the Fifth Division was like a gentle and refined scholar, always wearing a kind smile, and almost never revealing his strength in any public conflict.

But the person standing on this bridge at this moment is by no means a mild-mannered scholar.

He couldn't even clearly sense the other person's spiritual pressure, just like an ordinary human, but Sasuke knew in his heart that this was impossible.

It is no coincidence that such an unfathomable man would appear here at this time and place.

For him, this was definitely not a good thing either.

"No need to be so tense, Uchiha Sixth Seat."

Seemingly sensing Sasuke's wariness, Aizen Sousuke took a few steps forward and finally stopped at a safe distance.

“If I wanted to harm you, you would have been gone the moment you stepped onto this bridge.”

Aizen's voice was very soft, as if he were stating a fact.

Sasuke's eyes grew colder, and his grip on the knife tightened.

However, the veracity of this claim is not questioned.

"I just..."

Aizen slowly raised his hand and adjusted the black-rimmed glasses on his nose. The lenses reflected a cold light in the moonlight, obscuring the emotions in his eyes.

"I'm very interested in you."

These words actually made Sasuke's tense nerves relax a little.

He let out a very soft sneer.

"I'm interested in a strange man..."
