Naruto: Sasuke Uchiha Returns from Soul Society

“Now that’s what you call a duel,” Sasuke’s cold voice rang out behind him.

He slowly walked up to Ishida Uryu, looking down at the trembling boy.

He raised his foot and stepped on Ishida Uryu's intact right shoulder, knocking him heavily to the ground.

"Tell me, Quincy."

Sasuke's voice echoed in his ears, "Using other people's lives as bait to satisfy your pathetic vanity, is this what you call 'honor'?"

He raised the knife high, revealing his chilling killing intent.

As far as Sasuke was concerned, Ishida Uryu's actions deserved to die.

"stop!"

Just as the blade was about to fall, a loud shout rang out!

Clang—!

A clang rang out, and Sasuke's seemingly inevitable strike was blocked by a massive Zanpakuto.

Kurosaki Ichigo stood in front of Ishida Uryu, his arms trembling slightly.

"You bastard, you can't kill him!" Ichigo said through gritted teeth, enunciating each word clearly.

Sasuke's eyes turned cold. He slowly sheathed his sword, not continuing his attack, but simply staring at Ichigo: "Get out of the way, this is none of your business."

"How could it be unrelated to me!"

Ichigo retorted loudly, "This guy is my classmate!"

“Classmate?” Sasuke scoffed. “It was him who turned Karakura Town into what it is now and almost killed innocent people.”

"That……"

Ichigo was speechless for a moment. He glanced back at Uryu Ishida, then turned back to Sasuke. "In short, he doesn't deserve to die. Besides, I don't want to get involved in the feud between Shinigami and Quincy."

"But he's my classmate now, so I won't let you touch him!"

“I’m not talking to you about race, you idiot.”

Sasuke's patience was wearing thin. "I'm just saying, he deserves to die."

"What are you talking about? I said, no!"

"Are your ears plugged?!" Sasuke's tone was clearly filled with anger.

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Just as the two were arguing, Ichigo suddenly turned serious and shouted, "Let's think about how to get out of here first!"

Sasuke and Ishida Uryu were both taken aback.

Unbeknownst to them, their neighborhood had been completely surrounded by hundreds of Void creatures.

Countless pale masks, radiating an ominous light, stared intently at them with greedy eyes.

"Tch." Sasuke sneered, showing no panic in the face of his predicament.

He quickly formed hand seals in front of his chest.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

……

Accompanied by puffs of white smoke, dozens of figures identical to Sasuke appeared in various corners of the battlefield, each wielding a Zanpakuto and with cold eyes.

"what?!"

From afar, Rukia, who had been watching the battlefield closely, covered her mouth in shock upon seeing this scene. "What kind of ability is that?!"

The shadow clones instantly rushed into the void, flashing blades and screams echoing everywhere.

However, there were simply too many voids, and new monsters continued to pour out of the cracks in the sky.

"This is really troublesome."

Sasuke, seeing the endless stream of enemies, finally lost his patience.

He gripped the hilt of the sword at his waist, and in that instant, his aura became sharp and murderous, unleashing a burst of pure spiritual pressure!

The deep chanting echoed throughout the entire battlefield.

"Thunder Kakeru, Blade Kakeru, Takemikaru!"

—Carve out thunder, transform it into a sharp blade, Takemikazuchi!

Chapter 27 Tenkyū!

The moment Uchiha Sasuke finished speaking, violent black arcs of electricity erupted from the blade, accompanied by deafening thunder, illuminating the entire block with flickering light!

All the voids that approached him were instantly torn apart by this domineering lightning.

"Takemikazuchi, Thunderclap Form!"

The Zanpakuto in his hand was completely enveloped in violent black arcs of electricity, as if he were holding a living bolt of lightning.

If the "Lightning Form" that previously destroyed the Nine-Tails' seal was a complete transformation of the power of lightning into ultimate speed and conceptual sharpness.

At this moment, the "Thunder Form" unleashes the most violent destructive power of lightning without reservation.

Without pausing, he pointed the tip of the blade, crackling with black lightning, towards the sky.

"Tenkyū!"

A thick, terrifying black bolt of lightning shot into the sky from the tip of the blade, tearing through the air and exploding with a deafening roar high in the sky!

The next second, the entire sky seemed to be weeping.

Centered on the battlefield, the sky was shrouded in rapidly gathering dark clouds, and countless fine, dense black lightning bolts, like divine punishment, poured down upon the void below!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Thunder roared incessantly, each bolt of lightning precisely piercing through the body of a Void creature, tearing it apart.

In just a few seconds, the previously crowded virtual swarm was completely swept away by the black thunderstorm.

The dark clouds dispersed, the lightning subsided, and the world returned to silence.

Sasuke slowly sheathed his sword, the arcs of electricity on the blade had disappeared, as if the earth-shattering scene had never happened.

"Hey……"

Kurosaki Ichigo stared blankly at everything, then looked at the sword in Sasuke's hand that had returned to its normal appearance, and asked incredulously, "Why did your sword become like that?"

Sasuke turned his head to the side, glanced at him with a condescending look, and spoke with arrogance in his tone.

"This is liberation, a power that only those who know the true name of their Zanpakuto can use."

"A Zanpakuto changes its form and abilities depending on the wielder's call."

"Liberation?" Kurosaki Ichigo repeated the word as if he didn't quite understand, looking down at the unadorned sword in his hand, a hint of longing flashing in his eyes.

Meanwhile, Ishida Uryu stared intently at Sasuke, his expression extremely complex.

The devastating thunderstorm shattered his pathetic self-esteem.

However, before they could recover from the shocking scene, a terrifying pressure descended from the sky.

A huge black crack was torn open in the sky.

A head as large as a mountain slowly emerged from it.

Immediately afterwards, a monster the size of a skyscraper, draped in a jet-black robe, and with a long, pointed nose, slowly descended from the crack.

"What is that thing?!" Ichigo Kurosaki's voice trembled.

"Impossible! How could that 'bait' have such an effect?!" Ishida Uryu stared at the crack in disbelief.

The mere appearance of that monster caused everyone present to feel suffocated by its immense spiritual pressure.

"Daxu..."

Rukia leaned against the wall, her face deathly pale, her voice filled with disbelief and terror, "It's a Gillian-class! How could it, how could it be in a place like this!"

She looked at Ichigo, who was looking completely bewildered, and explained.

"Listen up, Ichigo! That's a monster formed from hundreds of Hollows that devoured and fought each other! Its strength is far beyond that of ordinary Hollows. Even a Captain-level Shinigami must take it seriously!"

Faced with this immense spiritual pressure, Sasuke's expression finally changed.

"Damn it, I don't have enough spiritual energy left from cultivating..."

He cursed under his breath and instinctively stepped in front of the crowd, his dark eyes fixed on the giant beast in the sky.

"You nuisances, get out of my way."

"What did you say?!" Ichigo instinctively retorted, but as soon as the words left his mouth, he realized that Sasuke was not provoking him.

Kyliana's hollow mask turned towards the swarm of ants below. It slowly raised its hand, and an ominous crimson energy began to rapidly gather in front of its long, pointed nose.

Cero!

The destructive power contained in that energy sent chills down the spines of everyone present.

Without the slightest hesitation, Sasuke once again unleashed his Zanpakuto.

"Takemikazuchi, Thunderclap Form!"

The raging black lightning once again coiled around the blade, and he pointed the tip of the blade straight at the sky, pouring all his spiritual pressure into it without reservation.

"Thunderstorm!"

Three bolts of black lightning, thicker than ever before, tore through the atmosphere and spiraled toward the world-destroying crimson beam of light!

boom--

Black and crimson, two completely different destructive energies, collided violently in mid-air, bursting out with blinding light.

The stalemate lasted for less than a second.

Because Sasuke had consumed too much spiritual energy during his training, his own black lightning was gradually devoured by the even larger Hollow Flash.

"puff--!"

Sasuke was struck hard, spitting out a mouthful of blood as his body and Zanpakuto flew backward like a kite with a broken string.
