Naruto: Sasuke Uchiha Returns from Soul Society

Nine-Tailed Fox looked at him mockingly, "That's a power you should be most familiar with, yet you come to ask me?"

Sasuke's eyes narrowed: "That's not the power of the Sage of Six Paths?"

"Nonsense, you already know it's him, why are you asking me?"

Nine-Tails rolled its eyes, revealing a set of enormous fangs. "Besides the old man Six Paths, who else in this world can use something like that?"

"I'm asking about the essence of that technique," Sasuke's voice turned cold. "What exactly is that sphere?"

Seeing Sasuke's serious expression, Kurama's smile faded, and a hint of reminiscence and apprehension appeared on its enormous fox face.

"That thing is called the 'Seeking the Way Jewel'."

"Seeking Daoyu?"

"Yes."

Kurama's voice deepened, "That is a black sphere containing the power of all things in the universe, and it is also one of the symbols of the Sage of Six Paths' power."

"It is not just a high-density collection of chakra, but the ultimate power that integrates all seven nature transformations: wind, lightning, water, fire, earth, yin, and yang."

"Before this technique, all other ninjutsu in the world are meaningless."

Kurama stared at Sasuke and gave its final conclusion.

"This is an absolute power that surpasses all ninjutsu and bloodline limits."

Surpassing all other ninjutsu?

Upon hearing this explanation, Sasuke's brows furrowed even more.

wrong.

If it's just about surpassing ninjutsu, then why was even his own Danku shattered?

The Dānk is a demonic path, and its foundation is spiritual particles rather than simply chakra.

If the Truth-Seeking Balls were merely the ultimate form of chakra nature transformation, they shouldn't be able to so thoroughly dissolve spiritual particles.

Or perhaps it was because the strength of the demonic arts he unleashed was insufficient, making it unable to resist the Truth-Seeking Ball.

"What about natural energy?" Sasuke pressed. "Even Sage Mode can't withstand that?"

"Celestial arts?"

Kurama glanced at him and snorted, "Perhaps. After all, it's the power of nature, different from chakra. Maybe it will work, maybe it won't. I haven't tried it."

At this point, Kurama seemed to suddenly lose patience. It looked at Sasuke suspiciously, as if he were a conman pretending to be stupid.

"Speaking of which, kid."

He abruptly changed the subject, his tone filled with confusion and bewilderment.

"I was just about to ask, since you can use that special chakra so skillfully, why are you completely ignorant about Truth-Seeking Balls?"

"Special chakra?" Sasuke was taken aback.

"Stop playing dumb."

Kurama pointed at Sasuke's body, then at the sword at his waist, "It's that cold, unsettling chakra emanating from this sword..."

Its perception is very accurate.

Sasuke is not only a descendant of the Uchiha clan, but also the reincarnation of Indra's chakra.

That chakra had always been dormant deep within his soul, and it revived as he grew.

Sasuke's Zanpakuto "Indra" possesses that unique black flame and devouring power precisely because it is a product born from this "reincarnated chakra" combined with the power of Hollows.

In Kurama's view, since Sasuke was able to awaken and skillfully use this power, he should have inherited some of Indra's memories and should naturally know about the existence of Truth-Seeking Balls.

“That is Indra’s chakra.”

The Nine-Tails' voice carried a hint of complexity, "I would never be wrong."

It stared intently at Sasuke, its massive head tilted slightly, its eyes filled with disbelief.

"Hey, kid..."

Nine-Tails' voice was low and probing, "You wouldn't... really know nothing, would you?"

Sasuke stood before it, his brow furrowed.

"What do you mean?"

His voice was cold, revealing an obvious impatience.

Nine-Tails' cryptic words deepened his doubts.

Indra's chakra?

Don't play riddles with me, fox.

Sasuke slowly raised his hand, and a wisp of dark lightning began to flicker silently in his palm, exuding a dangerous aura. "Tell me everything you know."

"..."

Nine-Tails' eyelids twitched as it looked at the pulsating lightning.

But this time, it did not immediately yield to the threat as it usually does.

Instead, the light in the beast's eyes began to flicker.

It stared at Sasuke, its brain racing.

That brat...

They really knew nothing about this?

So what's the deal with his cold, sinister chakra that's exactly like Indra's?

Coincidence?

No, there's absolutely no way that could be a coincidence.

Nine-Tails immediately dismissed this guess in his mind.

Then there's only one possibility.

Although this brat inherited Indra's chakra, the old man of the Six Paths has no intention of letting him know all this yet.

The moment the thought crossed her mind, Kurama's heart skipped a beat.

If that's the case...

If I were to reveal all of this now, wouldn't I be ruining the old man's plan?

Nine-Tails shivered.

No.

This matter must absolutely not be spoken by me!

If that old man finds out I've been too talkative, I might be nagged about for centuries.

With that thought in mind, Kurama made a decision instantly.

Play dumb!

We must play dumb to the end!

"Cough cough..."

It deliberately coughed twice, tilted its huge head to the side, and said as if nothing was wrong.

"W-what Indra? Did I just mention that name?"

Are you kidding me?

Sasuke's voice grew even colder, and the lightning in his hand suddenly intensified, transforming into streaks of black lightning that hissed piercingly in the air.

"I'm giving you one last chance."

He stepped forward, his Sharingan locked tightly on Kurama (the Nine-Tails), "Tell the truth, otherwise..."

Before he could finish speaking, a bolt of black lightning appeared in the sky and struck it hard.

"Awooo—!!!"

The Nine-Tailed Fox let out a painful howl, its massive body trembling violently. "Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! You little brat! Do you want to kill me?!"

It bared its teeth and roared, tears welling up in its eyes.

Even so, it kept its mouth tightly shut and did not reveal any useful information.

"Speak." Sasuke raised his hand again.

"I won't tell!"

This time, the Nine-Tailed Fox was surprisingly tough. It buried its head in the ground and covered its ears tightly with its two huge paws, looking like a rogue.

"I know nothing! Even if you beat me to death, I still won't know anything!"

Chapter 183 Dragon Vein, Unknown Land

The Nine-Tailed Fox, utterly shameless, said, "Even if I die, I can be resurrected. Don't waste your energy!"

"..."

Seeing Kurama's nonchalant attitude, Sasuke's hand, wrapped in lightning, froze in mid-air.

The thunder still echoed across the wasteland, but Sasuke's brows furrowed even more deeply.

This fox...

What are they hiding?

Its fear was not feigned.

What kind of earth-shattering secret is hidden behind that so-called "Indra Chakra" that can make the usually arrogant and domineering Nine-Tails so fearful?

Not afraid of death, yet afraid to reveal that secret?

Sasuke lowered his hand, the lightning in his palm gradually extinguished, and his eyes became increasingly profound.

He knew that pressing him further would be pointless.
