Naruto: Sasuke Uchiha Returns from Soul Society

"Sasuke!" Kurosaki Ichigo and Rukia exclaimed in surprise.

"Damn it!" Kurosaki Ichigo's eyes were bloodshot.

That arrogant guy who had always been so infuriating was now severely injured while protecting them!

The intense sense of powerlessness and the hatred for his own weakness ignited Ichigo Kurosaki's soul at this moment.

"We must become stronger!"

"We must pour all our strength, absolutely everything, into this sword!!!"

The power within him seemed to hear his call and began to expand uncontrollably!

Blue spiritual pressure coiled around his massive Zanpakuto, causing the entire blade to hum and vibrate!

In the sky, Kylian seemed dissatisfied with failing to completely wipe out his opponent in one strike, and once again condensed a new Cero.

A crimson beam of light once again poured down onto the ground!

"Oh oh oh—!"

Kurosaki Ichigo let out a roar that was unlike that of a human. He gripped the hilt of his sword tightly with both hands and swung it out with all his might!

boom--

The blue slash and the red Cero collided head-on in mid-air once again!

This time, it wasn't a one-sided crushing defeat.

Blue and red, two forces, violently squeezed each other, and the resulting energy storm tore everything around them to shreds.

"Go back here!!!"

Ichigo's spiritual pressure continued to erupt, his shihaka armor shattered inch by inch, dripping with blood, but he didn't care at all, he just squeezed the last bit of his power into the blade.

Finally, the golden slash began to push the massive Cero back at a speed visible to the naked eye!

The Cero, pushed back, merged with Ichigo's slash, slamming into Gillian's mask and chest.

"Ow!"

Kylian let out a painful roar as the massive explosion left a gruesome, gaping wound on its mask.

It seemed to feel fear, letting out a resentful roar, and its massive body slowly retreated back into the crack in the sky.

The crack then closed.

The world returned to deathly silence.

"Who exactly is this guy...?"

The heavily injured Sasuke struggled to lift his head and just happened to see the shocking scene of Ichigo repelling the Cero. After the Sharingan's tomoe spun violently, they finally lost all their luster and he completely passed out.

Chapter 28 The Unexpected Appearance of Asauchi

Wōrō Tessai stared intently at the gradually disappearing crack: "Brilliant, the shopkeeper was right about you."

"What's wrong? At least say thank you."

Kurosaki Ichigo looked at the panting Ishida Uryu and said, "I'm cleaning up your mess, so at least say thank you."

Before he could even finish speaking and before the other side could react, Ichigo inexplicably collapsed to the ground.

"I can't muster the strength..."

At the same time, the Zanpakuto in his hand began to twist and turn, and the spiritual pressure on his body surged outward uncontrollably, forming a visible orange-yellow aura that impacted the surroundings.

"Oh no! If this continues, Ichigo's body will be dissolved by his own spiritual pressure!" Rukia watched anxiously from the side, her expression tense.

"We must do something..."

As Ishida Uryu watched this scene, his eyes narrowed, as if he had thought of something.

Despite his severe injuries and the scorching spiritual pressure, he struggled to approach step by step.

With each step he took, the violent spiritual pressure tore new bloody wounds on his arm like knives.

He pressed one foot firmly against Ichigo's buzzing Zanpakuto, enduring the discomfort, and used the spiritual pressure released by Ichigo as his own arrows, launching them one after another into the sky.

The raging energy found an outlet.

"That should do it. I just need to release the spiritual power that Kurosaki can't control..."

Suddenly waking up, Ichigo abruptly raised his head, looking at the scene before him with a panicked expression.

"What are you doing? You'll ruin your hand!"

"Shut up."

Ishida Uryu ignored Ichigo and just kept drawing his bow and nocking arrows.

"If you can't survive this duel, then you'll have no opponent left." He gritted his teeth and growled with difficulty.

"Live on, and let me give you a good beating, Kurosaki Ichigo!"

"Then retaliate against me, Kurosaki Ichigo!"

As arrows of spiritual pressure were fired, the spiritual pressure storm that was about to spiral out of control around Ichigo Kurosaki finally subsided.

“Hoo…” Ishida Uryu let out a heavy breath, swayed, pushed up his blood-stained glasses, and muttered to himself.

"That evens things out."

As soon as he finished speaking, he could no longer hold on. He exhausted his last bit of strength, fell backward, and passed out.

"Tsk, with that long face, how can I possibly hit him?" Kurosaki Ichigo grumbled, staring at the unconscious Ishida Uryu.

“Alright, Tessai.” Kisuke Urahara pointed with his fan at the boys on the ground. “Take them all back to the shop and get them treated. They’re all badly injured.”

He walked over to Sasuke, glanced at the deep, bone-revealing wound on Sasuke's body, and grabbed the back of Sasuke's shihaka collar.

"Shinta, take Sasuke's sword." Kisuke Urahara grabbed Sasuke Uchiha by the back of his collar.

This time, Hanakari Jinta was unusually obedient.

Based on his vague memory, he walked to the place where Sasuke's Zanpakuto was lost, saw something under the rubble, paused, and turned his head away.

"Hey, Urahara, do we have a fifth Shinigami here?"

Kisuke Urahara shook his head: "No, why are you suddenly asking this?"

Hanakari Shinta bent down and picked up something from the ground: "There's another knife here."

One is light blue, the other is light blue.

"This light blue sword, is it his? It's quite nice." Jinta weighed the Takemikazuchi sword in his hand, then raised his other hand.

"What about this one?"

He raised his unremarkable asada sword high, his gaze sweeping over everyone present.

"Whose Zanpakuto is this?"

Kisuke Urahara turned to the side, his eyes, which had been hidden in the shadow of his hat brim, instinctively looking at Sasuke Uchiha.

......

Sasuke's consciousness slowly returned.

He thought he would see the familiar ceiling of Urahara Store, or smell the medicine.

However, what came into view was that dark and damp underground sewer that he loathed.

"here it is......"

He sat up abruptly and looked around.

The red gate with the character "封" (seal) engraved on it still stands not far away, and behind the gate, the aura of hatred and violence seems to have weakened a bit compared to before.

"What happened? How did I suddenly get back here?" Sasuke frowned.

He remembered that he was in Karakura Town, and that he had passed out after fighting Gillian.

Why did we suddenly return to Naruto's idiotic inner world?

Has that force that brought him here and there been activated again?

Moreover, the seal he had previously destroyed had been repaired.

Just as he was racking his brains trying to figure it out, a gentle voice suddenly rang out from behind him.

"Hello."

Sasuke was shocked, and all the muscles in his body tensed up instantly.

In this spiritual world, besides him and that fox demon, there's actually a third person?!

He turned around abruptly, his pupils suddenly contracting.

Behind him stood a man dressed in a white divine robe.

He had dazzling blonde hair, azure eyes like the sky, and a gentle smile on his face.

Sasuke stared intently at the figure before him, his mind racing with images of the face on the Hokage Rock in Konoha.

"The Fourth Hokage... Minato Namikaze."

Minato noticed Sasuke's shock and slowly explained, "This is the chakra I left inside Naruto before. It will only be triggered when he is about to be completely devoured by the Nine-Tails."

Sasuke asked, "Why him?"

"The Fourth Hokage just randomly picked any child and ended up choosing Naruto, an orphan?"

Minato Namikaze continued, "I believe he will create the future as a Jinchūriki. I don't know why, but that's just how I feel."

"After all, he is my son."

Sasuke froze.

That idiot Naruto is actually the Hokage's son?!

"How is this possible?" Sasuke couldn't believe it.

Would the Hokage's son be hated by the entire village?

Would the Hokage's son have no friends?
