Naruto: Sasuke Uchiha Returns from Soul Society

"Now, let's deal with the immediate problem first."

She sensed several unfamiliar deathly auras lingering not far ahead.

Meanwhile, in the shadow of another sand dune.

"I said, Lady Soi Fon..."

Omaeda Nozomi, clutching her round belly, complained breathlessly, "Did we really need to make this trip ourselves? Didn't Yoruichi say she could handle everything by herself?"

"Shut up, Ōmaeda."

Soi Fon, walking in front of him, didn't even turn her head, her voice icy, "If you dare to say another word of nonsense, I'll leave you alone in this desert to feed the Hollow."

"Yes, yes!" Ōmaeda's body stiffened abruptly, falling silent as if trembling with fear.

However, just as he was about to continue following, Yoruichi, who was walking at the front, suddenly stopped without warning.

"Stop arguing, the enemy is here."

Yoruichi's voice was soft, yet it sent a chill down the spines of the two people behind her.

She slowly raised her head, her cat-like eyes piercing through the dim night, precisely locking onto a huge skeleton hundreds of meters away.

Four figures stood silently in the shadows of the skeleton.

The leader was a tall, voluptuous female Arrancar with healthy, tanned skin.

Her spiritual pressure is the strongest among the four.

Behind her followed three women whose auras were equally strong, each with a different posture, but all sharing the same wildness that originated from emptiness.

Yoruichi's lips curled into a playful smile: "It seems that Aizen already knows we're here."

She turned her head and glanced at Soi Fon beside her, who also had a solemn expression.

"Is it possible to identify someone as Aizen's subordinate simply by their spiritual pressure?"

"No, look at their appearance."

Yoruichi shook her head. "Although the bone masks on her body that belong to Hollows are incomplete, they are all different in shape and their integration with her body is not perfect."

She paused, recalling Kisuke Urahara's research report on Shinji Hirako and others' Hollowfication, and drew her conclusion.

"This is not natural evolution."

"If I'm not mistaken, they are the product of Aizen using the power of the Hogyoku to forcibly 'transform' Hollows into Shinigami."

Yoruichi's analysis made Soi Fon's eyes grow even colder, but she was more concerned about something else.

"You seem to know a lot about Aizen's plans," Soi Fon said, her voice tinged with inquiry.

Upon hearing this, Yoruichi simply chuckled softly without replying.

"Watch out, Soi Fon."

She simply reminded him, "Those who can be sent by Aizen to be greeters are not to be underestimated."

After saying that, she moved swiftly and headed towards the pile of bones.

Chapter 155 The Other Half of Sasuke's Power

Above the sands of Hueco Mundo, three figures of Shinigami confronted four other figures, separated by a distance of several dozen meters.

The sandstorm whipped up wisps of sand, scraping against our tense nerves.

"Lord Yoruichi..."

Soi Fon's voice was low. She turned her head to the side, her eyes serious. "The woman in the lead has a very strong spiritual pressure."

Yoruichi didn't turn around, but simply stretched and loosened her agile body.

"Yes, she's very strong." There was a hint of a smile in her voice.

"I request to join you in dealing with her!" Soi Fon's tone was resolute.

This time, she will stand shoulder to shoulder with Lord Yoruichi.

"—Hey! What are you talking about?!" A terrified voice abruptly interrupted Soi Fon.

Ōmaeda Norichiyo's chubby face had already turned deathly pale with fright. He pointed at the four ominous figures opposite him, his voice trembling.

"Captain! You mean you and Yoruichi are going to deal with the strongest one, so the remaining three are going to be left to me?!"

"I'm going to die! I'm definitely going to die!"

"Shut up, Ōmaeda." Soi Fon didn't even bother to turn her head.

However, Yoruichi chuckled softly, raised her hand, and gently placed it on Soi Fon's tense shoulder, rejecting her request to fight.

I appreciate your kind intentions, but there's no need for that.

Yoruichi's voice was gentle. She pointed to the three subordinates behind Harribel, each with a different expression, and said, "Help me get rid of those small fry and don't let them bother me."

"This level of task should be quite easy for you as the team leader now, right?"

"That's great..." Ōmaeda breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling as if he had been granted a pardon.

"Lord Yoruichi..." Soi Fon's body stiffened for a moment, a surge of indescribable resentment welling up in her heart, but she finally agreed.

"very good."

Yoruichi nodded in satisfaction, said no more, and with a slight sway of her figure, she took the initiative to meet Harribel in her direction.

"Let's go, Ōmaeda!"

Soi Fon snorted coldly, her gaze fixed on Harribel's three unfriendly-looking subordinates.

The resentment of not being able to fight alongside Yoruichi was transformed into rage against the enemy before him.

"Don't you dare hold me back later!"

"Yes! Yes! Captain!"

Two figures, one large and one small, also charged fiercely towards the direction of Herribel's three subordinates.

The battlefield was instantly divided in two.

.........

"Huh? How dare you underestimate us!"

The most impatient Apache roared and launched the first attack.

Soi Fon's face was expressionless, but just as Apache was about to get close, her figure flickered slightly and appeared behind her like a ghost.

On the fingertip, a stinger-shaped "Suzume-bumblebee" (a type of weapon) has been applied as the initial release technique.

The next instant, Apache had a butterfly mark on his body.

"A second strike will be fatal." Soi Fon whispered, turning to deliver the second blow.

But Mila Rhodes' attack had already arrived, forcing her to retreat.

“Don’t think we’re easy targets!” Mila Rhodes grinned maliciously.

"Damn it, these guys are more troublesome than I thought." Soi Fon forced Sun Sun back with a chop to the neck, cursing inwardly.

"Captain, you really need to take care of your health!"

Not far away, Ōmaeda was wielding his massive meteor hammer, "Goge-tsuba," dodging the attacks while yelling at Soi Fon, "If you get hurt, Yoruichi will definitely be worried, but I won't! So bring all your firepower on me!"

He spoke with great passion, but his body betrayed him, hiding behind a huge skeleton and only peeking out half of his head.

This comical sight caused the three usually serious subordinates of Harribel to twitch on the forehead in unison.

“This guy…” Apache stared at the round head, “I’m getting angrier and angrier the more I look at him!”

In the ensuing fierce battle, Soi Fon inevitably sustained several shallow wounds, while Ōmaeda remained unscathed.

"No, if this continues, they'll hold us back!"

Soi Fon's eyes narrowed; she had planned to finish the battle quickly and go support Yoruichi.

At that moment, Harribel's three subordinates exchanged glances, seemingly losing patience as well.

"Beast God!"

The three of them simultaneously uttered a low shout and raised their left arms high, from which three ominous red lights shot into the sky.

Amidst the red light, the three men's left arms fused together in an extremely bizarre way, ultimately summoning a strange creature with a massive body, antlers, a giant tail, and half of its body resembling a monster.

"Awooo—!!!"

"What is that?!" Ōmaeda's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

Soi Fon's gaze also became extremely solemn, as she sensed a very strong aura emanating from it.

.........

Almost at the same time that the battle began on the secondary battlefield, their fighting also started on the main battlefield.

Harribel raised her right hand, grasped the hilt of the huge Zanpakuto behind her, and flung it away.

It was a uniquely shaped broadsword, hollow in the middle, resembling a giant shark fin.

With her movement, a heavy spiritual pressure erupted from her center.

"Cero!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Harribel unleashed a condensed golden beam of light from her palm, aiming straight for Yoruichi's face.

However, Yoruichi simply tilted her head slightly, and the Cero grazed her cheek before disappearing into the distance.

Immediately afterward, Halibel's figure appeared in an instant, her broadsword whistling through the air as it slashed down.

Yoruichi's figure vanished like a bubble, leaving only a headband-like garment in her place.

is fake.

Herribel felt a chill run down her spine, and almost instinctively, she slashed backward with her sword.

Just as the blade was about to touch her neck, Yoruichi's body sank at an incredible angle.

A slender hand precisely placed itself on Heribel's wrist.

Heribel felt a subtle force come from her, and her sure-fire strike was effortlessly deflected to the side.
