Naruto: Sasuke Uchiha Returns from Soul Society

"That's my Bankai."

"The more violent Kenpachi's power becomes, the stronger my Bankai will bind him. In the end, his power will become a cage that imprisons himself."

After hearing this explanation, a look of understanding flashed in Retsu Unohana's eyes.

"So that's how it is, using their own methods against them..."

She murmured softly, slowly raising her head, her voice tinged with urgency: "Can this method be used again? Can it completely remove this restriction from his body?"

However, Sasuke calmly shook his head.

"It's no use anymore."

"why?"

"Because he has already experienced it once and knows how it works."

Sasuke paused for a moment before giving his final conclusion.

"Until my spiritual pressure increases again, the same technique will no longer have any effect on him."

"......Yeah."

The glimmer of light in Retsu Unohana's eyes slowly faded, turning into a long sigh.

"What a pity..."

Her voice was filled with undisguised regret, "I thought that finally someone could unlock that lock for him completely."

Sasuke looked at her quietly, seeing the deep regret in her eyes, without saying a word.

After a long while, Retsu Unohana regained her gentle demeanor.

She bowed slightly to Sasuke.

"But I still want to thank you, Sasuke-kun."

She said gently, "Thank you for letting me see his long-lost demeanor."

After saying that, she didn't linger, turned around and walked away with elegant steps.

Just as they were about to leave the Eleventh Division, Retsu Unohana's voice rang out again.

"Your power is quite special, Sasuke-kun..."

"But the more extraordinary a power is, the easier it is for people to lose themselves in it."

"Please be sure to..."

She turned her head to the side, her gentle eyes carrying a hint of solemn admonition.

"You must not let your own power consume you."

Sasuke stood quietly, watching the figure disappear completely at the end of the corridor.

Slowly raise your hand and look at your empty palm.

After a long while, he finally let out a soft hum that had no clear meaning.

Chapter 112 Aizen is dead? What about his body? (Pure transitional chapter)

The next day.

Uchiha Sasuke was awakened by a sudden commotion.

The sounds, a mixture of hurried footsteps, team members' shouts of alarm, and an overwhelming sense of panic, shattered the tranquility of the early morning.

Ichigo and the others have made their move again?

This was Sasuke's first thought.

Without hesitation, he rolled out of bed and opened the paper door.

In the corridor, several members of the Eleventh Division were hurrying towards the entrance of the barracks, their faces showing an unease that Sasuke had never seen before.

He darted out and grabbed a teammate who was running past.

"Hey, what's going on?"

The team member, stopped by someone, looked impatient and was about to explode, "Which blind fool..."

His words came to an abrupt halt when he turned his head and saw Sasuke's cold, stern face.

"S-Sasuke six seats!"

The team member froze abruptly, his impatience instantly replaced by a fawning fear. He hurriedly bowed deeply, saying, "I'm so sorry! I didn't recognize you!"

"no."

Sasuke raised his hand to stop his pointless action and repeated his question: "What's going on outside?"

"Yes, yes..."

The team member seemed not to have fully recovered from the shock; his voice trembled, "It's Captain Aizen of the Fifth Division..."

He visibly took a deep breath before finally managing to squeeze out the complete sentence.

"Captain Aizen has been murdered!"

"The body was just discovered nailed to the East Great Wall!"

"..."

Sasuke's pupils contracted sharply the moment he heard those words.

My first reaction was that I had misheard, or that I had fallen under some kind of clever illusion.

Aizen... is dead?

Are you kidding me?

The man on the white bridge, whose mere presence was enough to suffocate her, is dead?

He was even nailed to the wall?!

In Sasuke's mind, that man was on the same level as the Captain-Commander, an unfathomable being.

Who could have killed him silently in this heavily guarded Seireitei, and even displayed his body in such a ostentatious manner?

Impossible. That's as absurd as Kenpachi Zaraki suddenly announcing that he doesn't like fighting.

But the sheer fear on the face of the team member in front of me didn't seem fake.

Sasuke's eyes turned cold instantly, and he immediately realized what was happening.

An illusion.

This must be a performance meticulously planned by Aizen to achieve some unknown purpose.

He couldn't believe that the man he couldn't even see through would die so easily.

"I see."

He casually dismissed the still trembling team member, asked no further questions, and with a flash, sped off towards the direction of the Eastern Sacred Wall.

Whatever tricks that guy is playing, it's never a bad thing to go and see for yourself.

Moreover, the riots caused by the "death of the captain" might... bring some unexpected convenience to my plans.

Thinking this, he sped up even more.

When Sasuke arrived at the East Great Sacred Wall, it was no longer a quiet place; the area below was already surrounded by a dense crowd.

Most of them were ordinary soldiers, with a few officers mixed in. Everyone looked up, pointing at the towering wall, their faces filled with shock and fear.

"What on earth is going on...?"

"You can't be kidding, right? That's Captain Aizen! How could he possibly be..."

"Who did this? Who has the audacity to do this inside Seireitei...?"

Whispers rose and fell, and a sense of panic spread rapidly through the crowd like an invisible plague.

Sasuke's figure quietly stopped at the edge of the crowd, and he slowly raised his head, following everyone's gaze, looking at the towering, pure white wall.

Then, his brow furrowed almost imperceptibly.

Nothing at all.

That towering white wall, smooth as a mirror, reflected a sacred light in the morning sun.

Apart from a few signs of weathering, there was nothing else.

There was no body, no blood, not even the slightest crack.

"..."

Sasuke's pupils contracted slightly, he slowly closed his eyes, and then opened them again.

But the scene before us remains unchanged.

His gaze darkened.

Sasuke walked straight to the middle-aged soldier who was closest to him and tapped the wall behind him lightly.

"Hey."

The soldier was startled by the sudden sound and turned around abruptly. Only after recognizing Sasuke's identity as the officer did he manage to regain his composure.

"Sir, is there anything I can help you with...?"

"Where is Captain Aizen's body?" Sasuke's voice was calm, as if he were asking a perfectly normal question.

"Eh?"

The soldier was completely stunned. Almost instinctively, he raised his hand and pointed tremblingly at the empty wall in front of him.

"It's right there! Isn't it obvious?"

He wore an extremely strange expression, his voice filled with disbelief, "You...you can't see it? That Zanpakuto...and the blood flowing from its chest, it's stained the entire wall red..."

As he listened to the detailed description, Sasuke's crimson eyes slowly narrowed into dangerous slits.

"..."

He looked up again, following the direction the soldier was pointing.
