Naruto: Sasuke Uchiha Returns from Soul Society

He could sense that if he compressed his chakra even a little more, this violent power would be fully formed.

But each time, it failed at the last moment when it was finally taking shape.

"call……"

Sasuke dispersed the chakra in his palm and breathed heavily.

The intense form-changing training that had been going on for several hours had pushed his chakra to its limit.

"Alright, Sasuke, that's enough for today."

Kakashi closed the book "Icha Icha Paradise" and jumped down from the tree. "You've already improved very quickly. Continuing to practice will only backfire."

Sasuke didn't speak, but simply nodded in agreement.

He stood up, ready to leave the training field.

"Wait a minute," Kakashi called out to him.

Sasuke turned around, his eyes showing a puzzled expression.

Kakashi pointed to the scorched earth and said, "This training ground has been destroyed by you. According to the rules, you need to pay for the repair costs."

Sasuke paused, his brows furrowing instantly.

money?

He subconsciously touched his pocket, but it was empty.

Seemingly seeing through Sasuke's predicament, Kakashi said with a smile, "However, you are my lovely student, and as your teacher, it is only right that I help you pay this small amount of money."

"no need."

Sasuke coldly uttered three words, and before Kakashi could say anything more, his figure blurred and he disappeared from the spot.

"What an unlovable student..."

-----------------

Sasuke appeared at the gate of the Uchiha clan's territory.

He searched several rooms but found no bank drafts or deposit slips.

However, as the largest clan in Konoha, the Uchiha clan could not possibly be without clan assets and savings.

The only explanation is that these items were confiscated by the village authorities after that night.

Thinking of this, Sasuke's eyes grew even colder.

These people are truly insatiable.

Looking up at the brightly lit Hokage Building in the distance, he had already made up his mind.

He needs to get an explanation.

Without hesitation, Sasuke's figure disappeared into the night once again.

When he arrived at the Hokage Building, all the lights in the building were off.

Isn't this place usually brightly lit?

While Sasuke was still wondering, a yellow figure suddenly appeared in front of him carrying a huge scroll.

It was Naruto who jumped out of the Hokage's office window.

Naruto jumped out of the window of the Hokage Building, excitedly preparing to head to the northern forest, when he suddenly bumped into a figure falling from the sky.

"Ouch!"

Caught off guard, he sat down hard on the ground, clutching a scroll as big as himself, and the scroll rolled away.

"Don't you watch where you're going, you idiot!" A cold voice came from above.

Naruto rubbed his sore bottom and looked up angrily.

"Hey, Sasuke, what are you doing here? You almost scared me to death!"

He was complaining when he suddenly remembered Shui Mu's instructions and quickly covered his mouth.

Naruto looked around warily, then lowered his voice: "Sasuke, you absolutely mustn't tell anyone I'm here!"

Sasuke looked at the idiot's appearance and glanced at the huge scroll that had rolled on the ground, which had the words "Book of Seals" engraved on it.

"The Hokage's office, the Scroll of Seals..."

Sasuke was filled with doubts.

The normally heavily guarded building was completely dark, and Naruto happened to emerge from it carrying the legendary forbidden technique scroll.

It's all too much of a coincidence.

He bent down and casually picked up the scroll.

"Did you steal this?" Sasuke asked coldly, trying to get some clues out of Naruto.

"It wasn't stealing!"

Naruto immediately retorted, scrambling to his feet and trying to snatch the scroll back. "This is a secret test given to me by the Hokage. If I learn the forbidden techniques inside, I can become a hero of the village!"

A secret test?

A hint of mockery flashed in Sasuke's eyes, and he was certain that this idiot had been used by someone.

Ignoring Naruto's struggles, he simply unfolded the scroll in his hand and quickly scanned the forbidden techniques recorded on it.

He memorized all the information in just a few glances.

He rolled up the scroll and casually stuffed it into Naruto's arms.

"A hero?" He scoffed. "You can't even tell the difference between a trap and you want to be a hero?"

"What trap? Mizuki-sensei told me this himself!" Naruto jumped up and down in a panic, trying to defend his trusted teacher.

"Mizuki?"

Sasuke pondered the name, but couldn't recall who these people were.

But I doubt he's any strongman.

Just as Sasuke was pondering, a figure emerged from the woods not far away, a look of anxiety on his face.

"Naruto, what are you still doing here? Didn't I tell you to go to the forest in the north?"

The person who arrived was Shui Mu.

When he saw Sasuke was also present, his pupils contracted almost imperceptibly, but he quickly regained his gentle demeanor.

"Oh my, isn't this Sasuke-kun? What are you doing with Naruto so late?" Mizuki asked, feigning surprise.

Upon seeing Mizuki, Naruto felt like he had found a pillar of support and immediately shouted, "Mitsuki-sensei, Sasuke doesn't believe this is a secret test! You need to explain it to him quickly!"

"explain?"

Mizuki's smile became somewhat subtle. He slowly walked forward, his gaze passing over Naruto and landing on Sasuke, his tone turning somewhat cold.

"It seems our little genius has discovered something he shouldn't have."

At this point, he stopped pretending.

Now that we've been caught, there's no need to keep putting on an act.

Sasuke ignored his words and simply looked at him calmly.

Seeing this, Mizuki turned to Naruto, who looked confused, his eyes growing increasingly sinister.

"Naruto, do you know why everyone in the village hates you so much?"

"Mitsuki-sensei, you..." Naruto was taken aback by this sudden change.

"Because you are that demon..."

Before Shui Mu could finish speaking, the sinister smile on his face suddenly froze.

He felt a chill in his chest.

Lower your head.

A thin line of blood slowly appeared, extending from his left shoulder to his right waist and abdomen.

"Uh......"

Mizuki opened his mouth, as if to say something, but only blood gushed out.

His upper body slid slowly down along the line of blood.

"Teacher Shuimu, he..."

Naruto was terrified by what he saw, and his voice trembled.

Sasuke slowly sheathed his sword and turned to look at Naruto.

"I told you, it's a trap."

He looked up into the darkness and said, "Open the scroll and see what you can remember. They should be sending people soon."

"them?"

Naruto was puzzled, but seeing Sasuke's expression, he subconsciously opened the scroll and did as instructed.

Suddenly, Sasuke saw a white light emanating from Mizuki's corpse, rising upwards and connecting to an unknown place.

Then, a spirit slowly emerged; it was Shui Mu's soul.

He looked completely bewildered, but the moment he saw Sasuke, his expression turned ferocious.

"The fourth bondage method is this rope."

A rope-like beam of light flew out from Sasuke's hand and wrapped directly around Mizuki's entire body.

Mizuki's face instantly turned to panic; he hadn't expected there to be a ninjutsu that could affect the soul.

Ignoring Mizuki, Sasuke stared at the pillar of light before him and murmured to himself, "The Pure Land?"

He suddenly remembered the forbidden technique he had just seen in the Book of Seals, "Impure World Reincarnation".
