Naruto: Sasuke Uchiha Returns from Soul Society

It wasn't because he was worried that the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki would cause any trouble. Fugaku knew very well that as long as this boy was here, the Nine-Tails wouldn't be able to cause any trouble.

The reason he abandoned everything to come was simply because...

Just now, a strange feeling suddenly welled up in his heart.

A strong intuition told him that if he didn't come now, he might never see this mysterious person again.

As Fugaku entered the courtyard, Sasuke said softly, "This brat is yours from now on."

"...?"

Fugaku paused for a moment and looked at Naruto.

"Adopt him in your name, and if possible, raise him like a son."

These words stirred up a storm in Fugaku's heart.

Adopting the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?

This was extremely risky, but he didn't hesitate and immediately replied, "I will raise him as a member of the family."

After arranging everything, Sasuke stopped talking and quietly gazed at the night sky.

Fugaku watched his retreating figure, hesitated for a moment, and then asked in confusion.

Are you planning to leave?

Sasuke turned his head away in surprise; his father's intuition was indeed sharp.

He did not deny it, but nodded slightly.

"This matter is over."

"Yeah......"

Fugaku's voice carried a hint of regret, but more so a sense of relief and gratitude.

He didn't try to stop him, because he knew that someone like him was destined not to be bound by a small place like Konoha.

Yoruichi.

"Hmm?" Yoruichi looked up at Sasuke. "What's wrong?"

"Go and remove the Grim Reaper mask for me."

"Tch, they really know how to order people around."

Yoruichi showed a look of disgust, then closed her eyes and carefully sensed it.

In a certain direction on the edge of the village, a familiar aura faintly echoed her presence.

"Wait, I'll be right back." The black figure had already turned into a blur and disappeared into the night.

After Yoruichi left, Sasuke looked at Fugaku again.

"Go and call Itachi and Shisui as well. I have something to say to them."

"it is good."

Without asking any further questions, Fugaku immediately turned around and whispered a few instructions to the clansmen outside the door.

The courtyard fell silent again during the waiting period.

Sasuke closed his eyes, his consciousness sinking into the sealed space within his body.

He cut to the chase and asked the long-awaited question: "Fox, can you fuse with the half of the Nine-Tails inside Naruto?"

"Huh? What are you talking about in your sleep?"

Yin Jiuwei rolled her eyes and chuckled, "Although it is me and I am it, we are ultimately beings from different worlds."

"Forced fusion? It will only result in an explosion due to rejection."

"Yeah."

Sasuke was not surprised by this, nodded lightly, and then his consciousness withdrew from the sealed space.

If it doesn't work, then forget it.

In reality, Sasuke opened his eyes and looked again at the bewildered little Naruto who was still sitting on the ground.

He crouched down, bringing his eyes level with Naruto's.

"Listen up, you idiot."

Sasuke pointed to Fugaku Uchiha beside him, "From today onwards, this is your home."

"......Home?"

Naruto repeated the word in a daze, the confusion in his eyes gradually fading, and a glimmer of light appeared.

He glanced at the middle-aged man who, though serious-looking, didn't have a fierce look in his eyes.

"Can I have a family too?" His voice trembled, tinged with a cautious hope. "Can I live with you all?"

"Ah." Sasuke stood up and looked down at him. "Although these guys are troublesome and have a lot of rules, at least they won't let you go hungry."

Seeing this, Fugaku sighed inwardly, then stepped forward, trying to soften his expression.

"I am Uchiha Fugaku, and I am the head of this clan."

He extended his hand to Naruto. "Get up, child."

Naruto looked at that large, thick hand, and his eyes instantly reddened.

He hastily wiped his face with his dirty sleeve, then reached out his little hand and tightly grasped Fugaku's hand.

Just then, a gust of wind blew.

Here, that's what you wanted.

Yoruichi's figure reappeared on the wall, tossing a pale bone mask into her hand.

Sasuke raised his hand and caught it steadily.

The Grim Reaper mask.

"Thanks." Sasuke accepted the mask.

At the same time, two young figures were walking briskly towards the entrance of the courtyard.

They looked at the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki standing next to Fugaku, a hint of surprise flashing in their eyes.

"coming."

Sasuke turned around and looked at Itachi and Shisui walking quickly from the courtyard gate.

As ninjas, they were already very strong, but it wasn't enough for the Uchiha clan, who were about to take over the entire Hidden Leaf Village.

If we're going to change, let's change it thoroughly.

Sasuke held the Shinigami Mask in his palm, channeling his immense spiritual pressure and chakra into it.

"Om-"

The mask trembled, and then a ball of eerie blue phosphorescent light ignited in mid-air.

A colossal, hideous phantom of death slowly emerged from the void, but this time, without the sacrifice of offerings, it could not fully descend.

So it merely served as a semi-transparent projection, hovering listlessly in mid-air, its empty eye sockets devoid of any expression or intention to attack.

"What's this?!"

Itachi and Shisui stared in shock at the enormous, ominous phantom, their bodies instinctively tensing.

Yoruichi narrowed her cat-like eyes slightly, staring at Sasuke with great interest: "This brat, is he planning to...?"

Ignoring the astonishment of the crowd, Sasuke traced an arc in the moonlight with his black blade.

Large swaths of pale blue spiritual light particles splashed out.

With a swift stroke, Sasuke cleaved the massive Shinigami soul into three equal-sized clusters of spiritual particles.

Having lost the constraints of form, those souls began to become extremely unstable.

"The day Gao Yu gives birth to a nest."

Sasuke's left eye, the kaleidoscope pattern slowly rotated.

He raised his left hand and made a grasping motion in the air.

Those souls that were about to dissipate were forcibly gathered together.

In the blink of an eye, three small, square boxes, completely black, appeared in his palm.

Sasuke carefully assessed the energy expenditure within his body, a satisfied smile curving his lips.

really.

After merging with that special chakra, the burden on the Mangekyou Sharingan was so light that it was almost negligible.

He took the three boxes and walked straight up to Fugaku Uchiha.

"Stand still."

Fugaku instinctively straightened his back.

Sasuke raised Indra in his hand and gently touched the end of the hilt to Fugaku's forehead.

"Pay attention."

As soon as he finished speaking, a strange power flowed into Fugaku's body through the hilt of his sword.

"Well......"

Fugaku felt a wave of dizziness, followed by a light, weightless sensation.

He saw that his body was still standing in the same place, but his gaze began to drift uncontrollably backward.

At his chest, a chain shimmering with silver light connects his body to his present self.

"Father?!"

"Chieftain!"

Itachi and Shisui gasped in surprise and instinctively rushed forward.

"Don't move."
