Naruto: Sasuke Uchiha Returns from Soul Society

"Hey kid, what are you looking at?!"

"It seems I've been underestimated."

A similarly amused voice rang out from behind Shukaku.

Shukaku's body stiffened abruptly, and it turned its head rigidly.

At the top of the relief, which should have been indestructible, fine cracks were spreading rapidly.

Followed by.

"boom--!!!"

With a deafening roar, the sealed relief was shattered from the inside by a brute force.

Yellow sand fell like raindrops from the sky.

Amidst the smoke and dust, a tall figure slowly emerged, her long purple hair dancing wildly in the dissipating air currents.

Unlike before, Yoruichi now had a hideous bone mask covering her entire face.

The eyes beneath the mask suddenly turned icy cold.

"..."

Shukaku stared blankly at the scene, his mind completely blank.

How can it be? !

That's an absolute seal made of the highest density chakra and sand.

How could it be so easily...?

"That's a really good move."

Yoruichi stretched her neck. "But unfortunately, it's still lacking something."

She raised her head, her beastly eyes fixed on Shukaku, a wide grin spreading across her face.

"Well then, little raccoon."

"Is your trick over?"

"Don't get too cocky!!!"

Shukaku finally snapped out of his shock, and his fear transformed into an even more frenzied rage.

Shukaku's entire upper body leaned back, its ferocious maw suddenly opened, and chakra began to gather wildly in its mouth.

An energy sphere, brimming with destructive power, is slowly taking shape.

This is the strongest attack method of the Tailed Beasts.

Tailed Beast Ball!

Faced with this ultimate blow, Yoruichi calmly raised her right hand, her fingertips pointing at the black energy ball that was gathering.

A tiny, dark light, tinged with lightning, quietly shone from her fingertips.

"go to hell!!!"

Shukaku let out its final roar, forcefully unleashing the Tailed Beast Ball that contained immense power.

The black energy ball dragged a trail of destruction, carving a jagged trench in the sand along its path.

At that very moment, the dark light at Yoruichi's fingertip also began to shine.

"Cero Flash".

A black beam of light, much thinner than the Tailed Beast Ball but much deeper in color, shot out from his hand.

The seemingly violent Tailed Beast Ball had its unstable energy structure instantly pierced and detonated the moment it came into contact with the crimson beam of light!

Boom!!!

The terrifying energy storm surged back in an even more violent manner.

Shukaku didn't even have time to scream before it was completely swallowed up by that power.

The smoke and dust slowly dissipated.

The site was left with only a huge crater nearly 100 meters in diameter.

Shukaku's enormous body had already disappeared.

Only the red-haired boy, who had long since fallen into a coma, remained, lying on the scorched earth.

"..."

Yoruichi slowly lowered her hand, and the hideous bone mask on her face quietly faded away.

She looked at the scene of devastation in the distance and let out a soft sigh.

Honestly, I still couldn't fully control my strength.

Sasuke walked toward the center of the mess.

Yoruichi walked over to Sasuke and commented in a calm tone.

"Is this the calamity you spoke of, the one with the power to destroy the world?"

Night turned her head to the side, her golden cat eyes full of mockery, "It seems like it's not such a big deal after all."

"It seems that blurring has greatly improved your abilities."

"Huh? What are you saying, making sarcastic remarks?"

Upon hearing this, Yoruichi immediately turned her head in displeasure and glared at Sasuke. "I was just testing this power. Even with Shunkaku, it would be a piece of cake to take down this little tanuki, okay?"

Sasuke continued to explain: "Only Jinchuriki who are accepted by the Tailed Beasts can unleash the true power of the Tailed Beasts."

He paused, his voice tinged with uncertainty, "Or perhaps, this raccoon's strength is really not that great."

"grumble?!"

An angry, shrill scream echoed deep within Gaara's consciousness.

But it dared not move.

It could clearly feel that the gaze of that malevolent star was piercing through this fragile human body, locking onto it intently.

Play dead, you absolutely must play dead...

Once this jinx leaves, I can...

Just as Shukaku was still hoping to get away with playing dead, an irresistible pulling force came.

"grumble?!"

Shukaku panicked completely.

I've already surrendered, why are you still chasing after me to kill me?!

It struggled frantically, but all its efforts were in vain.

The seal that was originally inside Gaara was easily torn apart at this moment.

In Shukaku's final, horrified vision, it saw only a pair of scarlet eyes with intricate patterns.

Immediately afterwards, consciousness was plunged into pure darkness.

When Shukaku regained its consciousness, it found itself in a desolate wasteland filled with thunder.

A sinister blood moon hung high in the sky.

And on its enormous body, a huge chain made of lightning had been bound to it at some unknown time, binding it firmly to this land.

With each struggle, piercing lightning would erupt from the shackles, causing it to emit a painful cry.

"Ha ha ha ha......"

A sharp, gloating laugh came from the darkness not far away.

The Yin Nine-Tailed Beast's eyes were filled with undisguised mockery.

"Hey, isn't this Lord Shukaku, the strongest tailed beast? What brings you in here?"

"You stinky fox!!!"

Shukaku instantly bristled, but seeing Kurama's even more miserable state than his own, his rage was instantly replaced by schadenfreude. "You bastard, you haven't been doing any better than me! What right do you have to laugh at me like this?!"

"It's better than you, you stupid raccoon who got beaten to a pulp the moment we met!"

"What did you say?!"

Just as the two tailed beasts were about to continue arguing, a lazy voice came from beneath the calm surface of the lake beside them.

"You two are both quite noisy."

It is the Three-Tailed Isobu.

Its enormous body slowly turned over at the bottom of the lake, "I'm doing quite well here."

"..."

"..."

The roars of Kurama and Shukaku abruptly ceased.

............

The real world.

Yoruichi looked at Gaara, who was lying unconscious on the ground, and asked softly.

What's the next step?

“They will send people out to look for us,” Sasuke replied, as brief as ever.

That's not what I meant.

Yoruichi slowly stepped forward and stood side by side with Sasuke, her face showing a grim expression.

"What I mean is, the people in that village all seem to be hostile towards you. Shouldn't you just wipe them out?"

Sasuke stopped in his tracks, completely stunned.

He looked at Yoruichi with some surprise, his brows furrowing as he saw the genuine, icy killing intent on her face.
