Naruto: Sasuke Uchiha Returns from Soul Society

"Since you are unwilling to accept my gift..."

Its massive body writhed slightly, and a corner of the altar, a pit covered by rocks, slowly slid open to both sides, revealing a deep pool below that was churning with a dark green liquid.

"Then I will open a door of convenience for you."

"This is where I usually store venom."

The White Snake Immortal's voice became meaningful again, "You can collect some yourself, whether you want to soak them or use them for research, it's all up to you."

"But I must remind you of something."

His vertical pupils locked onto Sasuke once more. "Once this venom is out of my control, its danger will be ten times, a hundred times, greater than if it were injected directly."

"Once you get lost in it... then no one can save you."

"I understand."

He turned around, took a container made of special jade from Princess Ichikishima, and walked straight to the edge of the churning, eerie green poisonous pool.

"Hey, kid!"

Yoruichi's voice suddenly turned shrill, and she appeared beside Sasuke in a flash, "Are you crazy?! You really want to use something like this..."

"Sasuke-kun." Orochimaru also walked to his side.

Sasuke did not answer immediately, but instead straightened up after filling the container.

"No need."

"We should go."

After saying that, he didn't linger any longer, raised his hand, and casually made a gesture in the air in front of him.

A pitch-black crack silently opened up before everyone's eyes.

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

Deep underground in Otogakure, the dark cracks have closed again.

Yoruichi jumped off Sasuke's shoulder and paced back and forth in the room, looking somewhat agitated. Her cat-like eyes occasionally glanced at the boy who was moving the jade container onto the stone platform.

"I mean, you're not really planning to use that thing for a bath, are you?" Her voice was full of doubt.

Sasuke carefully placed the container down, then turned his head and asked, "Otherwise what?"

"you......!"

Yoruichi was taken aback by his matter-of-fact tone and didn't know how to refute him for a moment.

"Orochimaru." Sasuke ignored her. "I need a room that is sturdy enough and quiet enough."

“Of course.” Orochimaru licked his lips, his snake-like eyes gleaming with excitement.

"pocket."

"Yes, Lord Orochimaru."

The figure of Yakushi Kabuto quietly appeared and formed a simple hand seal in front of the stone wall.

"Boom!"

With a muffled thud, the stone wall rose up, revealing a passage leading to a deeper area.

"Please come with me, Sasuke."

It was a secret room made from a single piece of obsidian, with Orochimaru's own modified sealing techniques engraved on the walls.

In the very center of the secret room was a huge bathtub made of the same material.

"This should be enough for you to cause trouble," Orochimaru said, his voice filled with anticipation.

Sasuke nodded slightly and poured the eerie green venom from the jade container into the bath.

The viscous liquid spread out at the bottom of the pool, emitting a strange, sweet aroma.

"Then we won't disturb you any longer."

Orochimaru, along with Kabuto Yakushi, tactfully withdrew from the secret room.

The heavy stone door slowly slammed shut.

The entire secret room was plunged into pure darkness once again.

Only the pool of dark green venom emitted a faint glow.

Sasuke stood quietly by the pool, taking off his black shihaka robe.

His bare upper body, with its smooth and powerful muscle lines, looked exceptionally striking against the backdrop of the emerald green light.

As he watched the churning venom, the White Snake Immortal's final warning flashed uncontrollably through his mind.

"Oh......"

Sasuke chuckled softly, then without further hesitation, took a step forward and submerged his entire body in the poisonous pool.

"Ughh ...

Soon, a suppressed roar burst from his throat.

The violent natural energy surged wildly into every pore of his body, tearing at his meridians.

Sasuke's body convulsed violently, but he allowed the raging natural energy to run rampant within him.

Within the Thunderous Wasteland.

"Roar--!!!"

The Yin Nine-Tailed Fox, pinned to the ground, felt somewhat uncomfortable. It could clearly sense a toxic energy frantically eroding this sealed world from the outside.

Inside the lake, the Three-Tailed Isobu had already retreated into its shell, trembling with fear.

Only Indra remained standing quietly on that scorched earth, his face covered in bone armor, coldly watching everything.

"Has it finally arrived..." he murmured.

The next instant, huge, eerie green cracks spread across the blood moon in the sky.

Immediately afterwards, my entire inner world began to tremble violently.

Violent natural energy surged wildly from those cracks, threatening to completely destroy this sealed world!

Chapter 202 Aizen's Reminder

Damn it!

Sasuke's consciousness appeared in the sealed space, his expression turning extremely grim.

The White Snake Immortal was right.

This venom, now outside its control, is far more dangerous than imagined.

It is not just attacking its own body, but also trying to assimilate its own soul.

"..."

Sasuke looked at the collapsing sky, where the blood moon was being swallowed by a ghostly green, its light flickering.

A resolute glint flashed in his eyes. Since reconciliation was impossible, then...

"—Swallow it!"

With a roar, the "Indra" at his waist emitted a hum of longing and excitement.

Endless black flames shot into the sky from the scorched earth beneath his feet, transforming into a gigantic maw large enough to devour the heavens and earth, and fiercely bit down towards the invading green flood!

The invading natural energy was thus abruptly halted in its forward momentum.

..........

"Huh...huh..."

Sasuke abruptly sat up from the dark green poisonous pool, breathing heavily.

At this moment, his skin all over his body had turned an abnormal bluish-white color, as if all the blood in his body had been drained.

For a whole day and night.

He waged a silent battle against the natural energy that was trying to assimilate him.

The result wasn't a victory, but it was certainly not a defeat either.

He successfully achieved a preliminary harmonization of a small portion of natural energy with the chakra and spiritual power within his body.

"..."

Sasuke raised his hand, feeling the fine, snake-scale-like cracks on his palm that hadn't completely faded, and frowned.

He quickly realized something was wrong.

The world was not plunged into darkness because of his temporary blindness.

On the contrary, a completely new perspective is quietly unfolding.

Inside the secret room, it was still pitch black.

But he could see the sealing patterns on the wall.

You can see Yoruichi's worried aura behind that heavy stone door, ten meters away.

They could even faintly sense the life force hidden in various corners of the Hidden Sound Village from afar.

He was temporarily blind, but everything around him was clearly visible in his field of vision.

"...Is this...immortal magic?"

He could feel that he had become stronger.

It's not just about perception, but also about understanding the essence of power.

He raised his right hand, his five fingers spread.

With a thought, a sharp stone spike appeared on the ground beneath his feet.

"Click..."

Although it is very weak, it is not even as good as the most basic earth escape technique.
