Naruto: Sasuke Uchiha Returns from Soul Society

"Stop talking nonsense."

Kenpachi's ferocious face grew even more fervent with his smile. "Let me see just how strong you really are now."

Chapter 104 Battle against Kenpachi

Sasuke quietly looked at Kenpachi Zaraki, at his excited yet distorted face.

He knew perfectly well that the guy in front of him was a battle maniac who couldn't be persuaded with any words.

Once he sets his sights on you, there's absolutely no way you can escape without getting a result.

So be it.

Sasuke's expression slowly changed, his displeasure gradually replaced by a fighting spirit.

He had wanted to try it for a long time.

Let's test what kind of magnanimity this captain truly possesses.

Yoruichi and Ichigo haven't arrived in Soul Society yet; there's still time.

As for revealing our strength too early?

Sasuke wasn't worried about this, since it wouldn't affect the plan to rescue Rukia anyway.

He slowly raised his hand, holding Takemikazuchi horizontally in front of his chest, the tip of the blade pointing diagonally at the ground.

"can."

He nodded, which was his way of accepting the challenge.

"Ha! That's more like it!"

Kenpachi Zaraki's fighting spirit instantly surged to its peak, and the violent spiritual pressure around him erupted outwards as if it were a tangible substance, causing the surrounding tatami mats to crack inch by inch.

"Come on then, kid! Don't let me down!"

He roared and raised his Zanpakuto high, ready to turn this already cramped house into a battlefield.

However, just as he was about to swing his knife...

"Wait a minute, Captain!!!"

A panicked and helpless voice came hoarsely from outside the broken wall.

Immediately afterwards, two figures rushed in from the ruins, one after the other.

Leading the group was Ayasegawa Yumichika, who practically scrambled to Kenpachi Zaraki's side, grabbing Kenpachi's arm that was about to swing his sword, hanging from it like a pendant.

"Captain! Calm down! Please calm down!"

Yumichika's voice changed, and the elegance on his face was completely gone. "If you keep brandishing your sword here, our team's budget for this month will really be cut off!"

"Huh? Funding?"

Kenpachi Zaraki frowned.

“You’ve squandered all our money, and we won’t have any money left to repair the house! We’ll all be sleeping on the streets!” Yumichika explained, almost crying.

"Then I'll just sleep on the street, it's so noisy!" Kenpachi said impatiently, trying to shake his hand.

"No way! That's not beautiful at all!"

Madarame Ikkaku, who was following behind, also rushed up. Looking at the two men who were about to draw their swords, he revealed an excited and sinister smile.

"Captain! If you're going to fight, don't fight in a place like this!"

One corner suggested, "The training ground is a big place; it'll be much more fun to play there!"

Upon hearing this, Kenpachi Zaraki finally stopped what he was doing.

Looking down at the room he had half-destroyed, and then at the relatively spacious training ground outside, he seemed to think that what Yijiao had said made some sense.

He smacked his lips and let out a very reluctant snort.

He flung aside Yumichika, who was still hanging on his arm, slung his Zanpakuto back over his shoulder, and strode toward the training ground.

"Kid, keep up!"

"call......"

Ayasegawa Yumichika let out a long sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and looked very fortunate.

She leaned against the wall, stood up, straightened her slightly disheveled clothes, and regained some of her elegance.

Kusajiro Yachiru had somehow gotten onto the roof, her two short legs dangling down.

She didn't go with him because she knew that when Xiao Jian was truly serious about fighting, he didn't need her guidance.

Ayase Gawa Yumichika looked at her, his narrow phoenix eyes slightly narrowed.

He slowly walked forward, stopped under the eaves, looked up, and asked softly in an inquiring tone.

"Vice Captain."

"Ok?"

"What do you think the outcome of this battle will be?"

This question caused Madarame Ikkaku, who was about to follow along to see what was going on, to suddenly stop in his tracks.

He turned around, glanced at Yumichika with an expression as if he were looking at an idiot, then grinned, revealing a savage smile full of confidence.

"Huh? Yumichika, is your brain clogged with dust?"

Ichikaku slammed his Zanpakuto heavily on the ground with a dull thud. "Does that even need asking?!"

He pointed his thumb forcefully in the direction Kenpachi had left, his voice filled with undeniable fervor.

"Of course Captain Zaraki won! No matter how strong that brat is, he could never..."

At that moment, his words were suddenly interrupted by the soft singing of Yachiru.

She neither looked at the corner nor answered Yumichika's question.

She simply swung her legs, which were suspended in the air, and her bright eyes reflected the figures of two people in the direction of the training field in the distance.

After a long while, she spoke softly in a tone full of joy.

"Xiao Jian has been very unhappy for a while."

"Huh?" Both Yumichika and Ikkaku were taken aback.

"His knife had been dormant the whole time."

Yachiru continued, using a logic only a child could understand, "I slept for so long, I'm practically growing mushrooms."

So...

Her voice was filled with heartfelt joy. She turned her head and gave a bright smile to the two officials below, who had different expressions.

"Who wins and who loses is not important at all."

"As long as Xiaojian has fun today, that's all that matters!"

......

Kenpachi Zaraki's tall figure stood in the center of the training field.

He hoisted the nicked Zanpakuto onto his shoulder, grinned, and revealed a ferocious smile.

"Come on, kid."

His voice wasn't loud, but it echoed across the empty training ground: "I can't wait any longer."

Uchiha Sasuke stood ten meters away from him, exuding a calmness that was completely different from the violent atmosphere around him.

Contrary to Kenpachi's expectations, it did not rush forward to clash with his blade.

He simply stood there quietly, the scarlet tomoe in his eye sockets slowly turning.

"Hmm?" Kenpachi Zaraki's brows furrowed slightly.

An inexplicable aura began to emanate from Sasuke.

"cut."

Kenpachi clicked his tongue in extreme impatience, the excitement in his eyes fading, replaced by obvious disgust.

"Is it that annoying ghost path again?"

He complained hoarsely, his tone full of disdain for this way of fighting, "Can't you just fight me face to face? What a boring trick."

However, the moment he started complaining, the world before him changed without warning.

The team members in the distance, the battlefield beneath their feet, and even the blazing sun in the sky...

Everything seemed to be soaked in an invisible layer of ink.

The light was rapidly drawn from his field of vision in an illogical way.

"This is......"

Kenpachi Zaraki's impatience was replaced by a hint of confusion.

He could clearly sense that the surrounding spiritual particles had not changed at all, and the brat's spiritual pressure remained unchanged.

But it felt as if his eyes were covered by layer upon layer of black cloth.

The field of vision is narrowing rapidly.

Finally, nothing could be seen anymore.

"what the hell......"

Kenpachi stood in that absolute darkness, feeling a sense of unease.

He hated this feeling.

In the distance, the officials watching the battle also noticed the anomaly.

"what happened?"

Madarame Ikkaku's smile froze. "Why are they both standing there motionless? What is the captain waiting for?"

"Do not......"
