Naruto: Sasuke Uchiha Returns from Soul Society

"I don't need that kind of thing right now." Sasuke didn't explain further.

Although he spoke arrogantly in front of the Sage of Six Paths, he knew better than anyone what reviving the Ten-Tails meant.

That was not just a leap in power, but also a surge in risk.

The Ten-Tails is the vessel of Kaguya's will; once it is resurrected, the progenitor of chakra will likely awaken as well.

Although he said "kill again", it was, after all, an existence that even the Sage of Six Paths brothers had to exert all their strength to seal.

With his current strength, he probably couldn't even compare to half of the Sage of Six Paths back then.

To rashly revive Kaguya would be tantamount to courting death.

He wouldn't touch that taboo until he was absolutely certain of success or found a way to completely obliterate Kaguya's will.

"Just keep an eye on it and wait for me to come back."

After saying those words, Sasuke's figure transformed into a streak of black light and disappeared into the rain.

"......Yes."

Nagato looked at the empty doorway and then turned to look at Konan.

"Let's go, Xiao Nan."

"We also have a lot to do."

........

In a dark underground cave, a giant pitcher plant bursts forth from the ground, its two distinct faces displaying different expressions.

"Obito, are you sure you want to do this?" White Zetsu asked flippantly. "That's Madara Uchiha. If he finds out the plan has turned out like this, he'll probably be so angry he'll kill us all too."

"Shut up." Obito Uchiha's voice was deep, his eyes sinister. "There's no other choice now."

Nagato died, Sasuke rose to power, and the Tailed Beasts were lost...

Everything has gone off track.

If they don't awaken that man soon, not only will the Eye of the Moon plan be ruined, but they themselves will likely be completely wiped out by that Uchiha brat.

"Let's begin."

Without further hesitation, Obito quickly formed hand seals, unleashing the Impure World Reincarnation Technique!

The white Zetsu clone in front of him began to convulse and twist violently, and countless scraps of paper and dust surged up from the ground, wrapping the body layer by layer like a greedy swarm of ants.

A massive surge of chakra erupted from the forming body, causing the candlelight in the cave to flicker wildly under the impact of this force.

A moment later, the dust settled.

A man wearing dark red armor and with long, flowing hair opened his eyes.

The eyes are not the radiance possessed by the living, but rather the pitch black unique to those reborn from the Impure World.

However, the aura he exuded made people dare not underestimate him in the slightest.

"..."

Madara Uchiha looked down at his hands, his brows furrowing slightly.

"What happened?" His voice was low and tinged with displeasure. "Why wasn't it the Reincarnation Technique that resurrected me?"

"Obito, it seems you failed to follow the plan."

“Something unexpected happened.” Obito calmly met Madara’s gaze. “Nagato is dead.”

"Dead?" Madara sneered. "How did he die?"

"He was killed." Black Zetsu interjected at the opportune moment, his voice hoarse. "It was done by a brat named Uchiha Sasuke."

"Uchiha Sasuke?" Madara murmured, savoring the unfamiliar name. "A descendant of the Uchiha clan?"

"Yes."

Black Zetsu explained, "This kid is very strange. Not only does he possess great strength, but he has also awakened the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan."

"Eternal Kaleidoscope?"

Madara's expression finally changed. "You mean, besides me, someone else has awakened the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan?"

“That’s right.” Obito continued, his tone grave. “Moreover, his strength is unfathomable, and his methods are extremely bizarre.”

"He defeated the Six Paths of Pain and single-handedly stormed into Amegakure. Nagato was probably killed by him at that time."

"interesting......"

Madara let out a low chuckle, "The Uchiha clan has produced such an interesting junior."

"Possessing the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, and even able to defeat Nagato, who possesses the Rinnegan..."

"Such talent is indeed worth seeing."

Madara's eyes gleamed. "Although he completely disrupted the plan, if we can win him over, he might be more useful than that good-for-nothing Nagato."

Black Zetsu thought to himself: It's not just disrupted, it's completely messed up.

Your plan was full of flaws from the start; if I hadn't been working hard to fix it, it would have collapsed long ago.

Now, this unexpected variable has appeared, overturning all the pieces.

However, on the surface, it still respectfully said, "Yes, Lord Madara, most of the tailed beasts are now in his hands."

Madara's eyes turned cold: "Then where are my eyes? Are they still on Nagato's corpse?"

“They should be gone,” Obito replied. “After all, it’s the Rinnegan…”

"Hmph, arrogant brat." Madara snorted coldly and closed his eyes.

An invisible force of perception emanated from him and spread outwards.

Although he was in a body of impure earth, there was still a faint connection between him and his eyes.

A moment later, he suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze fixed on the direction of the Land of Rain, a smile playing on his lips.

"I can feel it, my eyes are still twitching there."

“Moreover…” A glint of light flashed in Madara’s eyes, “that chakra fluctuation was even more active than I had imagined.”

"That brat Nagato isn't dead at all."

"what?!"

Obito and Black Zetsu were both startled.

Nagato isn't dead?!

What exactly did Sasuke do in Amegakure...?

"It seems you've all been fooled." Madara glanced at them disdainfully. "Those eyes are still on Nagato, and they're being used."

"Since he's not dead, that makes things easier."

He turned around and strode towards the cave entrance.

"Let's go to Amegakure."

"I'm going to get my eyes back, and while I'm at it, I'll go see that junior named Sasuke."

"If he knows what's good for him, I'll give him a chance to follow me."

"If they don't know what's good for them... then I'll just have to send this guy who ruined my plans to his death."

Looking at Madara's arrogant back, Black Zetsu sighed helplessly in his heart.

Hopefully, nothing unexpected will happen this time.

That Uchiha Sasuke...

He is also a reincarnation of Indra, and even more eccentric than Madara, so he's not an easy opponent.

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

The Land of Iron, Winter Fortress.

As one of the few neutral countries in the ninja world, this place is covered in ice and snow all year round.

Inside the Three Wolves Tower, a symbol of absolute neutrality, Chiyo, leaning on a cane and supported by two Sand Ninja guards, entered the venue.

With the position of Kazekage vacant, this long-retired old man had no choice but to return to the scene to represent the deceased Fourth Kazekage.

"Really, it's a neutral country, but its defenses are even more stringent than our fortress."

"Elder Chiyo." A languid voice came from behind.

Chiyo turned around and saw a tall, beautiful red-haired woman walking gracefully towards her, followed by a one-eyed man and a blue-haired boy carrying two swords.

"Oh? It's the new Fifth Mizukage."

Chiyo narrowed her eyes, sizing up the young woman before her. "I heard that Kirigakure has finally emerged from the shadow of the 'Blood Mist,' which is truly a cause for celebration."

"thanks to you."

Mei Terumi smiled and nodded gracefully, feigning ignorance, "But why have you gone to such lengths to gather the Five Kage here?"

"Don't you know?"

Chiyo snorted coldly, slamming her cane heavily on the ground. "Of course, it's for that increasingly rampant Akatsuki organization, and that arrogant Uchiha Sasuke!"

"Uchiha Sasuke?" Mei Terumi's face showed surprise, and she covered her mouth and chuckled. "That Konoha rogue ninja? I heard he's been causing quite a stir lately."

"However, Elder Chiyo."

She changed the subject, her tone becoming somewhat nonchalant, "Although the Akatsuki acts ostentatiously, they don't seem to have caused any substantial damage to our Kirigakure so far."

"As for that Uchiha Sasuke, although he took the One-Tailed Beast, our Kirigakure's Three-Tailed Beast is still perfectly fine."

"To risk triggering another ninja world war by forming some kind of allied force for two targets with whom we have no direct enmity..."

She looked at Chiyo and asked in return with a half-smile.

"Don't you think this is making a mountain out of a molehill?"

"Making a mountain out of a molehill?!"

Before Chiyo could retort, a roar erupted from the other end of the corridor.

"boom!"
