Naruto: Sasuke Uchiha Returns from Soul Society

The land, spanning nearly ten square kilometers, is hollow, with a huge, deep pit.

Above it, a huge stone sphere with a diameter of six or seven kilometers floated silently, obscuring the sky.

Like a second moon, it exudes an astonishing sense of oppression.

Uchiha Sasuke was suppressed and sealed within it.

"You are a formidable opponent."

Payne looked at the enormous black sphere in the sky and said arrogantly, "But ultimately, it is still different from the gods."

"Accept your fate; God is inviolable."

..........

Rain Village, atop the tall tower.

On the tongue of the statue of Payne, two figures are silently watching all of this.

"It seems the battle is over." Black Zetsu stared at the stone sphere floating in the sky. "Pain has captured Uchiha Sasuke."

"Although the process was somewhat bumpy, the result was pretty good."

Obito Uchiha, who was standing to the side, turned around and prepared to walk down.

Although he was somewhat disappointed that he couldn't personally deal with that brat, since he was sealed by Chibaku Tensei, the ending was already predetermined.

Obito said softly, "Those are, after all, the eyes of the Sage of Six Paths."

As soon as he finished speaking, a violent energy fluctuation spread out from the giant sphere.

Even from such a distance, a powerful gust of "consciousness" still swept through them, making their scalps tingle and their backs feel like they were being pricked by thorns.

"what?!"

Obito turned around abruptly, his eyes filled with astonishment.

The originally gloomy sky had turned blood red at some point.

A strange, blood-red moon hung high in the sky, radiating an ominous glow.

The enormous stone sphere formed from the power of the Rinnegan was now trembling violently, as if a force was pulsating within it.

The next moment, the stone crumbled and shattered into dust, falling like rain.

Streaks of black and white lightning burst forth from within the stone sphere.

Immediately afterwards, a knife pierced through the surface of the sphere.

It shines through.

It was a super-giant blade that was completely black but disproportionately large, capable of being wielded only by giants.

Incredibly sharp and extremely powerful.

With the force of a mountain being split open, it forcefully pierced through the rock layers that were several kilometers thick.

After piercing through, the giant blade continued its downward momentum with lightning speed, piercing through Payne's body in the blink of an eye.

The sky was stained pitch black by spiritual pressure.

The massive black blade, as wide as Payne's body, lifted him high, hanging him beneath the blood moon.

"Boom—"

Another light blue blade slashed out from the other side of the sphere, annihilating all remaining restraints.

Amidst the flying debris, the enormous body inside the sphere was revealed.

It was a dark and gloomy Susanoo with eerie lightning flashing across its surface.

With two faces and four arms, standing nearly a hundred meters tall, it blots out the sky and the sun, like a demon god descending to earth.

And at the throat of that demon god, Sasuke stood there quietly.

Silver hair danced in the air, and divine robes fluttered in the wind.

"A very good technique."

Sasuke stared coldly at Pain, "But you are too weak."

Chapter 225 Peace without power is merely a castle in the air; power without order is the root of chaos.

Border of the Land of Rain.

The enormous, sky-covering phantom of a demon god slowly dissipated amidst a silent ripple.

The jet-black Susanoo transformed into a stream of light and re-entered Sasuke's body.

Pain's mangled body fell from mid-air and crashed heavily onto the muddy ground.

Sasuke could sense that even after suffering such severe injuries, a faint trace of chakra still remained in that body.

That was the manipulator's unwilling will.

Sasuke walked to Pain's body, squatted down, reached out, and grasped a black metal rod stuck in Pain's cheek.

He closed his eyes and guided his senses upstream along the thin chakra thread connected by the black rod.

Through the thick rain, my senses finally settled on a secluded, dark corner near the tallest tower in Amegakure.

"Is it over there...?"

Sasuke opened his eyes, casually crushed the black rod, and with a slight sway of his body, he used Shunpo to move towards Amegakure.

..........

Rain-Hidden Village, the tall tower.

"Pain has lost," Zetsu said, his tone flat.

Obito Uchiha remained silent, his eyes filled with heaviness and astonishment.

The containers of the "Rinnegan" were all killed, by a boy who was only fifteen or sixteen years old.

And the defeat was so complete, so utterly predictable.

He wasn't even born when the plan was made.

"That brat..."

"His skills and abilities are unlike anything I've seen in all my years."

After a long pause, Obito Uchiha continued, his voice filled with deep apprehension, "It's practically a technique that doesn't exist in the ninja world."

He wanted to make a definitive judgment.

Even though he knew a lot about "Uchiha Madara" and claimed to have seen through the essence of the ninja world.

But he wasn't that person after all; he didn't have his knowledge and experience.

"Uchiha Sasuke is no longer under our control."

Obito took a deep breath and made a decision, "Nagato has already failed, and that Rinnegan..."

“Uchiha Sasuke seems to be coming this way.” Black Zetsu suddenly interrupted him, his voice urgent. “He’s very fast, and his target is very clear.”

His pupils contracted sharply. They found us so quickly? Did they follow the black rods on Pain's body?

"Damn it..." Obito cursed under his breath.

He is not yet ready to face Sasuke in a direct confrontation.

Moreover, that idiot Nagato actually squandered all his trump cards.

"Let's go, there's no point in staying here."

Obito glanced down at the village, his eyes cold. "Let's discuss this further later."

As for Nagato...

"Let him use his last bit of energy to buy us some time."

As soon as he finished speaking, the space behind him began to twist and rotate.

Obito's figure gradually became illusory in the vortex, and finally disappeared completely.

Without the slightest hesitation, Black Zetsu dove into the ground and fled swiftly.

..........

Near the tallest tower in Amegakure, a secret room.

It was dark and damp, with a strong smell of medicine in the air.

Nagato sat on a giant, spider-like mechanical walker, with black chakra receivers inserted behind him, connecting him to the massive Gedo Mazo.

His once vibrant red hair had turned as gray as withered grass, and his emaciated body seemed to consist of nothing but skin and bones.

Only those purple Rinnegan eyes still emitted a chilling light in the darkness.

"puff......"

Nagato suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, his body convulsing violently.

With the destruction of Pain, the immense backlash instantly impacted his body, further exacerbating his already weakened state.

But he didn't fall; he just stared intently at the closed wooden door, his fingers gripping the handrail tightly.

He could feel that powerful chakra rapidly approaching.

"Have they arrived...?" Nagato murmured softly.

Without a knock, the wooden door was pushed open slowly inward by an invisible force.

A blinding ray of golden sunlight pierced the darkness inside the room through the open door, shining directly onto Nagato's face.

Nagato subconsciously narrowed her eyes.

A tall, slender figure slowly emerged from the light.

Long, silvery-white hair, pure white divine robes, and those Rinnegan eyes that radiate golden light, still clearly visible even in the backlight.

Did Uchiha Sasuke actually have the Rinnegan?

Nagato was secretly amazed; it seemed that his defeat was acceptable after all.
