Naruto: Sasuke Uchiha Returns from Soul Society

The flippant look on Ayasegawa Yumichika's face vanished, replaced by a serious expression as he stared at the two figures standing silently in the center of the room.

"Something's not right, a corner."

His voice deepened, “Look around the captain.”

Upon hearing this, Ichigo squinted and looked closely.

In the area where Kenpachi Zaraki stood, the light seemed to be distorted by some unseen force, forming a pure area of ​​darkness.

Uchiha Sasuke, on the other hand, remained calmly standing outside the darkness.

"Is it the path of the ghosts?"

A hint of confusion crept into Ichigo's voice, "But I didn't sense any fluctuations in spiritual pressure."

Yumichika did not answer, but narrowed his eyes even more.

The art of darkness.

A spell that can deprive someone of their sight might be somewhat useless to other captains.

But for Kenpachi, the effect was quite different.

Kenpachi is the only member of the Gotei 13 to become a captain without even being able to unleash his Zanpakuto.

Most of his strength lies in his spiritual pressure and swordsmanship, which is why Sasuke uses the Dark Travel Technique to restrict Kenpachi's movements.

Kenpachi Zaraki stood in that absolute darkness, his impatient expression gradually replaced by a bloodthirsty excitement.

He grinned and let out a low laugh.

"Kid, do you think you can win by covering my eyes?"

"Fighting isn't just about using your eyes!"

He didn't panic after losing sight of the enemy. Instead, he lowered his Zanpakuto and stood there in an extremely relaxed posture, as if waiting for something or enjoying this novel hunting game.

......

Outside the darkness, Sasuke Uchiha's gaze was incredibly solemn.

He did not launch an attack immediately.

Kenpachi's reaction was calmer than he had expected.

But the more this is the case, the more it demonstrates that this man's combat intuition has reached an inhuman level.

Sasuke began to move at high speed at the edge of the battlefield using Shunpo, deliberately making clear footsteps with each step, which came from all directions.

He was trying to disrupt Kenpachi's remaining hearing in order to find the best opportunity to attack.

At the same time, he also needed to confirm how effective this illusion would be against Kenpachi Zaraki, this beast.

Finally, he found an opportunity.

A clear yet heavy footstep sounded from Kenpachi's left rear.

However, Sasuke's true form transformed into a silent bolt of lightning in the next instant, launching his first surprise attack from his blind spot on the right.

"Takemikazuchi, Lightning Form!"

The "Takemikazuchi" in his hand did not emit any thunder, but pierced straight into Kenpachi's unsuspecting back!

"Pfft-"

The dull thud of a blade piercing flesh rang out.

It hit its mark.

A knowing glint flashed in Sasuke's eyes. With a flick of his wrist, he prepared to inject lightning into the other's body to worsen the injury.

"what!"

A loud, excited shout exploded in his ears.

Kenpachi Zaraki seemed completely oblivious to the wound on his back, and with a backhand grip on his Zanpakuto, he ruthlessly swept it behind him.

It whipped up a gust of wind with sheer brute force.

Sasuke's pupils contracted slightly, and he immediately abandoned his attack. He pushed off with his feet and retreated, narrowly avoiding the blow.

"Not bad, kid..."

Kenpachi Zaraki slowly turned around, his back wound dripping with blood, but the smile on his face grew even more ferocious. "The strength and speed were just right. This strike was very satisfying!"

He seemed completely unconcerned about his injuries; on the contrary, he became even more excited because of the long-lost pain.

"How is this possible?!" A gasp of surprise came from a distant corner.

The captain was injured in just one encounter?!

Sasuke retreated to a safe distance, looking at the massive figure still standing in the center of the darkness with a furrowed brow.

He could clearly feel that the knife had pierced the other person's lung.

Any normal person would have lost the ability to fight by now.

But this guy...

Sasuke's heart skipped a beat as he watched Sasuke's increasingly excited expression.

Since that's the case, let's try again.

Once again, they resorted to the same old trick.

Different voices may mislead, but the same blind spot will lead to an attack.

However, just as Sasuke's blade was about to touch Kenpachi Zaraki's body for the second time...

The enormous figure that had been standing still suddenly turned to the side at an angle that was completely illogical!

The Zanpakuto, carrying immense force, swung backward at an extremely tricky angle.

"what?!"

Sasuke's pupils suddenly contracted. He had never expected that, despite losing his sight and hearing, his opponent could still launch such a precise counterattack.

too fast!

He twisted his body forcefully, trying to avoid the fatal blow in mid-air.

The massive blade grazed his neck.

They narrowly avoided the vital point.

but......

"Pfft!"

A muffled thud as flesh was torn apart.

Sasuke's arm was still slashed open by the blade, leaving a deep, bone-revealing wound. Blood gushed out instantly, staining his black Shinigami uniform red.

A sharp, piercing pain suddenly shot through my arm.

Sasuke Uchiha touched the ground with his toes, instantly creating a distance of tens of meters.

He clutched his bleeding right arm with one hand, his face showing undisguised shock.

How can it be? !

Sasuke stared intently at the deep darkness in the distance, his crimson Sharingan spinning rapidly as he tried to comprehend what had just happened.

Sight is deprived, hearing is interfered with...

How did he manage to pinpoint his location in that situation?!

However, his response was not silence, but a low, suppressed laugh.

"Hahaha......"

Kenpachi Zaraki stood in the darkness and slowly raised his head.

He ignored the wound on his back; his狰狞 (zhengning, meaning ferocious or hideous) face was now replaced by pure ecstasy.

"I see......"

Kenpachi's voice was hoarse, tinged with the excitement of discovering a new toy, "So that's how it is..."

He discovered that when those eyes, which were always used to "see," lost their function, some things he had long forgotten began to awaken from the depths of his soul.

He could smell the unique "scent" of Uchiha Sasuke in the air, and he could hear the kid's heart pounding with shock and the spiritual pressure surging within his body dozens of meters away.

He could even "feel" the gaze hidden in the darkness, filled with surprise and incomprehension.

All the senses were magnified like never before in this darkness.

"Little brat..."

Kenpachi Zaraki slowly lowered his head, a twisted smile appearing on his ferocious face.

He slung the Zanpakuto back over his shoulder and walked step by step toward Sasuke.

"Your move..."

Kenpachi's voice was filled with heartfelt admiration, "This is really interesting."

"It reminds me of something from a long time ago."

He paused, as if recalling, "Before I put on this annoying blindfold, before I learned how to suppress my power..."

"I think this is how I fight."

He grinned, revealing a set of white teeth, and his single eye shone frighteningly brightly in the darkness.

"Use your body to feel your opponent, not those eyes that get in the way!"

The moment he finished speaking, the ground beneath his feet cracked violently.

He charged headlong into Sasuke.

Chapter 105 Devour—Wild Sun!

Facing the oncoming, violent shockwave, Sasuke Uchiha's crimson Sharingan remained unshaken, instead growing even colder.

He admitted that he had indeed underestimated the beast's instincts.
