Naruto: Sasuke Uchiha Returns from Soul Society

They are all silently telling the same story.

"Don't you plan to show your true form?" Sasuke continued. "Even after leaving that dark village, you'll still have to hide?"

"Is this what they call God?"

After a long silence, Pain spoke again, his tone now more serious.

"What incredible perception! It can even see through the state of life and death at a glance?"

This is the first time someone has seen through the true nature of the Six Paths of Pain upon their first meeting.

But he did not panic and quickly regained his superior attitude.

"but......"

"Even with this physique, defeating you is enough."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the beastly Pain standing behind him made his move.

He quickly formed hand seals and then slammed his hands on the ground.

"Spiritual communication!"

"Bang—!!!"

With several loud bangs, thick white smoke exploded in the rain, and several huge black shadows shot into the sky from the smoke.

A giant, winged bird; a rhinoceros as large as a mountain; and a vicious dog with multiple heads...

They roared and howled.

The most bizarre thing is that they all have a pair of Rinnegan eyes in their eye sockets.

"Uchiha Sasuke..."

Animal Path Pain stood atop the split-dog's head, looking down at Sasuke with a cold voice.

"You will regret not choosing to run away when you sensed the presence of a god."

"You have no chance to escape now."

The surrounding summoned beasts roared, blocking Sasuke's escape route.

"Go to hell, don't worry, I won't waste your time."

Despite being surrounded so overwhelmingly, Sasuke showed no sign of panic.

He quietly watched the spirit beasts, or rather, he looked at the black metal rods on their faces.

"I see."

Sasuke pondered to himself.

The things that control these corpses and beasts are not traditional chakra threads, but the black substance inserted into their bodies.

In the instant he cast the summoning jutsu, Sasuke clearly sensed the vibration frequency of those black rods.

That was receiving chakra signals from afar.

In other words, the real manipulator is currently hiding somewhere nearby, acting like a puppeteer, controlling these corpses.

"Is it just you people?"

Sasuke withdrew his gaze, his eyes sweeping over Pain and Konan, his tone revealing disappointment, "Didn't the rest of Akatsuki come?"

He paused, then specifically mentioned that name.

"That Obito Uchiha who calls himself 'Uchiha Madara' didn't come either."

"...Don't mention that guy."

The moment Pain heard Obito's name, his tone clearly wavered. Although he tried his best to suppress it, he couldn't hide his disgust and killing intent.

Sasuke caught the emotion and a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

"What?" he sneered. "Are you furious because you know you've been played by that guy for so many years?"

"..."

Payne's eyes turned completely cold.

"You seem to know too much."

This is no longer a simple information leak; it seems that Uchiha Sasuke knows the most core secrets of the Akatsuki organization.

Such people must not be allowed to live!

"Let's do it!"

At the command, murderous intent erupted.

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Nan instantly appeared, her figure transforming into countless fluttering pieces of paper that reassembled in mid-air.

The sharp spikes rolled up from the paper in his right palm gleamed coldly as he thrust them toward Sasuke.

Sasuke reached out his hand.

He pinched her attack between two fingers.

Xiao Nan's pupils suddenly contracted.

No matter how hard she tried or how much chakra she channeled, the spike remained motionless and could not advance even an inch further.

"How is that possible...?"

Xiao Nan was horrified. Her Paper Dance had been specially enhanced, its hardness even exceeding that of ordinary steel. How could it be so easily blocked by two fingers?!

"It's been a long time since I've had a serious fight." Sasuke raised his other hand, his gaze passing over Konan and looking at the six men behind him.

"bring it on."

A wild, arrogant smile curled at the corner of his mouth. "Let me see more of the power of these Rinnegan."

As soon as he finished speaking, Sasuke formed a hand seal, and a jet-black flame suddenly erupted from the paper spikes pinched between his fingers.

"what?!"

Xiao Nan almost instinctively released her grip on the spear, her body transforming into countless pieces of paper as she retreated rapidly.

The black flames instantly engulfed the paper spike, crackling and burning in the air.

"The Path of Asura".

Pain's cold voice rang out.

The tall, bald puppet standing behind him suddenly raised its arm.

With a snapping sound, his arm split open mechanically at the joint, exposing several firing ports.

A flash of fire.

Several missiles, trailing long, crimson flames, tore through the rain and bombarded the area.

Sasuke forms a hand seal with one hand.

Indra.

The jet-black longsword transformed into a flowing shadow in an instant, and large clusters of black flames surged out from behind him, heading straight towards the whistling missiles.

The missile's flight speed was not slow, but the Indra Black Flame, controlled by Sasuke, was obviously faster.

Just as the two were about to collide head-on.

Pain, who had been standing still, suddenly raised his hands.

His left palm was aimed at the ball of black flames, while his right palm was locked onto Sasuke from afar.

Ripples flowed in the eyes of Samsara.

"Shinra Tensei!"

"Universal Guidance!"

An invisible repulsive force suddenly erupted, and the unstoppable black flame was forcibly distorted by this strange force, deviating from its original direction and narrowly missing the missiles.

At the same time, a gravitational force acted on Sasuke, attempting to forcibly pull him over and make him use his body to meet the unstoppable missiles.

"Ok?"

Sasuke raised an eyebrow, and his spiritual pressure erupted, forming an invisible force field around him, silently clashing with the invisible gravitational force.

The air currents swirled wildly between the two, shattering the falling raindrops.

"..."

A look of surprise flashed across Payne's face.

So heavy!

This was the first time he had felt that "All Things Guided" was so difficult to use.

It was like trying to pull a giant stuck in the mud. Even with increased chakra output, Sasuke's body only swayed slightly and did not fly over as expected.

The pulling speed is too slow.

That's enough time for him to react.

Sasuke sneered and raised his left hand, spreading his five fingers.

The ball of black flame that had been deflected suddenly swelled several times over, sweeping back like a swirling black wave.

The black flames collided, and the missile, which was far away, was detonated prematurely, scattering smoke and fire.

The smoke had barely begun to rise when several enormous black figures tore through the smoke screen, rushing in with a stench of blood.

A giant crab swung its massive pincers in a sweeping attack, a raging bull charged forward with its head bowed, and a three-headed dog, its jaws wide open, swooped down from the sky.

They come in various shapes and sizes, but each one has the same black iron rod inserted into its head, which it controls.

"A juggling act," Sasuke scoffed.

A summoning beast of this size might be somewhat intimidating to an ordinary ninja, but for someone who can easily subdue a tailed beast, it's nothing.

A piece of cake!

Sasuke forcefully pushed outwards the lingering spiritual pressure and black flames around his body.

Under this terrifying pressure, the enormous spirit beasts were instantly crushed into a cloud of white smoke and blood mist.
