Naruto: Sasuke Uchiha Returns from Soul Society

The Nine-Tails' voice deepened as it recalled Sasuke's two unusual swords.

"It seems there are still variables hidden that even you couldn't have predicted."

...........

In the real world, inside the tower of the Loulan ruins.

The wind and sand howled, blowing the robes on the three of them.

Orochimaru and Kabuto had already retreated to a short distance behind Sasuke, their expressions tense.

The moment the black sphere collided with Sasuke's power, there was no earth-shattering event, but the terrifying sense of oppression that erupted made even Orochimaru, one of the Legendary Sannin, feel a chill run down his spine.

"Sasuke-kun."

Seeing that Sasuke had finally opened his eyes, Orochimaru cautiously stepped forward and tentatively asked in a gentle tone, "Who exactly was that person you were fighting just now?"

An opponent who commands such seriousness from even the current Sasuke, and whose bizarre defensive technique was instantly shattered, is no ordinary person.

Sasuke exhaled a breath of stale air and turned his head to look at Orochimaru.

"Probably the Sage of Six Paths."

"The Sage of Six Paths?!"

Upon hearing those four words, Orochimaru's face instantly showed an expression of disbelief, and even Kabuto Yakushi was so shocked that he pushed up his glasses, his hands trembling slightly.

"You mean, the legendary founder of the Ninja Clan?"

Orochimaru's voice became somewhat shrill, "He's still alive?!"

"Perhaps."

Sasuke didn't explain much, only replying calmly, "After all, he's someone who spreads the power of chakra to all of humanity, so it's not surprising that he can do this much."

He turned around, his gaze returning to the slightly raised bulge of the seal.

"However, he doesn't seem to have any intention of showing up now."

Orochimaru was filled with turmoil as he looked at Sasuke's calm demeanor.

The one who just fought Sasuke was actually a legendary god?

And judging from the looks of it, Sasuke doesn't seem to have suffered any major losses.

"That......"

Orochimaru suppressed his shock, licked his dry lips, and asked, "What are you planning to do next?"

Sasuke's gaze sharpened. "Since he refuses to come out, let's deal with the immediate problem first."

"Once we've dealt with the trouble here, it'll be time to settle things with Itachi."

You mean...?

Orochimaru's snake-like eyes narrowed sharply, and he instantly understood what he meant.

"Ah."

Sasuke nodded slightly and stepped to the complex formation in the center of the tower.

Their gaze fell upon the core of the sealing formation, the three-pronged kunai stuck in the bulge.

The kunai's handle is engraved with the four small characters "Sword of Endurance and Love".

"It resembles a technique from the Uzumaki clan, perhaps with some modifications, refining the distribution and suppression of the originally rampant chakra."

Orochimaru also came closer, carefully examining the seal, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes, "Truly as expected of Minato, even under those circumstances, he was able to complete such a perfect seal."

"Even a Jonin who is proficient in sealing techniques would need to spend several months working backwards to break this level of complex sealing technique."

"Sasuke-kun, what are you planning to do?"

Sasuke did not answer, but silently looked at the seal.

Break the seal?

For a true seal master, the most orthodox method is to analyze the structure of the spell and then reverse-engineer it using the corresponding spell.

Forcibly destroying something is not only considered a desecration of the caster's wisdom, but also a disgrace.

But he's not a sealing master, so what do these pointless rules have to do with him?

He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his right eye had transformed into a complex six-pointed star pattern.

"Misfortune day."

He murmured to himself.

On the sealing array that emitted a faint chakra glow, dense black runes appeared.

The next moment, a soft sound followed.

Those incantations, along with the complex sealing array itself, completely vanished at that moment.

As the seal disappeared, the slightly raised bulge emitted a cracking sound.

A rustling sound came from the doorway.

It's like a door being pushed open.

The Flying Thunder God kunai that was stuck in it also lost its support at this moment.

"boom--!!!"

The bulge completely burst open.

A dazzling purple beam of light shot out from the small opening.

That was the dragon vein chakra that had accumulated over decades, an unimaginably vast amount.

A violent surge of chakra raged through the air, whipping up towering waves that blew away all the surrounding rubble and debris.

Orochimaru and Kabuto's expressions changed drastically, and they had no choice but to retreat again, unleashing a terrifying chakra attack.

"Is this the power of the Dragon Vein?!" Orochimaru squinted at the purple pillar of light.

But this is not all.

Sasuke stood in the eye of the storm, his robes fluttering in the wind, his crimson Sharingan fixed on the center of the pillar of light.

He could clearly see that the space around that enormous chakra was undergoing strange changes.

The originally stable spatial structure began to exhibit an unreal and illusory feel under the impact of this force.

Even faintly, some blurry images can be seen flashing by.

"Space-time..."

Sasuke murmured to himself, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

Orochimaru was right; this power does indeed possess the characteristic of being able to shake the barriers of space and time.

Urahara's experiment was not only unstable, but it also required him to take risks himself.

If we could control this power...

Perhaps then, one can travel steadily between these two worlds.

Thinking of this, Sasuke carefully sensed the fluctuations, feeling the power of spacetime pulling at his body, as if trying to take him somewhere.

He raised his right hand and whispered, "Well then, let me see... where you want to take me."

Chapter 184 A Tragedy That Can Be Changed

"Let me see where you really want to take me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Sasuke took a step forward and walked towards the center of the pillar of light.

"Sasuke?"

A slightly uneasy call came from my shoulder.

Yoruichi's pupils contracted slightly, her fur stood on end involuntarily, and a clear look of discomfort flashed across her face.

"Something doesn't feel right."

Sasuke turned his head to look at the tense black cat on his shoulder and gently shook his head.

"It's alright."

His voice was calm, yet inexplicably reassuring: "Perhaps we will embark on a wonderful journey."

"Travel?" Yoruichi asked, somewhat confused.

Sasuke offered no explanation, sensing the increasingly chaotic spatial-temporal turbulence around him. After a moment of contemplation, a thoughtful glint appeared in his eyes.

"Hurry up, we might not end up in the same place."

"Eh?"

Yoruichi paused for a moment, clearly not understanding the meaning of those words.

Will we not go to the same place again?

Before she could even ask a question, the purple beam of light expanded without warning.

Immediately afterwards, the light seemed to spread outwards wildly as if it had a mind of its own.

"not good!"

Orochimaru's expression changed drastically in the distance. He was about to retreat in an instant when the purple light moved incredibly fast, swallowing up the entire space inside the tower in the blink of an eye.

Within the purple light lay a state of chaos.

There was no sound, and even the passage of time became indistinct.

Sasuke instinctively released his spiritual pressure, creating a defensive layer around himself.

But just as he had predicted, this purple power, though violent, was not lethal.

It's more like a turbulent current, disrupting the sensations of all the senses.

The directions "up, down, left, right" and "east, west, south, north" were all mixed up in the purple light.

Sasuke felt as if his body was falling endlessly, or rising rapidly, and waves of dizziness washed over him, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.
