Naruto: Sasuke Uchiha Returns from Soul Society

"Letting those guys test the waters is enough."

He turned around, his back to Obito.

"I seriously doubt whether that thirteen-year-old Uchiha brat really possesses the skill to rival Hashirama."

Or perhaps...

Madara turned his head and looked at Obito with a mocking expression.

"It's because you're too weak. The power of the Eternal Kaleidoscope alone gives you the illusion of being 'unreachable'."

After saying that, he ignored Obito and disappeared into the depths of the cave.

Watching Madara's arrogant figure disappear into the darkness, Obito's face twisted slightly, revealing a mocking sneer.

"Old man, are you still living in the glory of the past?"

Obito muttered to himself, a sinister glint in his eyes.

"Times have changed. Wait until you actually face that brat..."

"I hope you can maintain this disgusting arrogance."

He turned around and looked in the direction of the Land of Iron, his eyes becoming incredibly dark.

"anyway......"

"In the end, I will always be the winner."

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

The border of the Iron Country is bitterly cold.

Sasuke and his group stood atop a towering tree branch, gazing down into the distance.

"The intelligence seems to be wrong."

Orochimaru stood beside Sasuke, his snake-like eyes narrowed, and said in surprise, "This scale doesn't seem like it only has 40,000 people."

A rough estimate suggests that the number of ninjas on this battlefield alone is at least 20,000, not to mention other gathering places in the Land of Iron.

"No, there's a large group of these ninjas, and their faces and chakra are exactly the same." Orochimaru frowned and whispered, "Are they clones?"

Sasuke calmly extended his right hand, "Universal Pull".

A gravitational force suddenly erupted.

Below, the "ninja" closest to them felt a sudden lightness in his body as he flew towards Sasuke.

"It's here!"

"Uchiha Sasuke is there!"

The crowd below erupted instantly, with countless eyes snapping upwards.

They began to gather frantically, their chakra strangely merging together.

"Click".

The captured ninja had his neck snapped by Sasuke, and his disguise began to fade rapidly, revealing his true face.

Its skin was deathly pale, devoid of any hair, and its face was so eerie it looked as if it were wearing a mask.

As the corpse changed, the faces of the "ninjas" who had been shouting below gradually became visible.

It was almost identical to the corpse, with only slight differences in height and weight.

“I know what this is.” Orochimaru examined the corpse carefully. “It’s a White Zetsu.”

"A special human created using the body cells of the First Hokage."

“No.” Sasuke frowned slightly. “Their souls are completely different.”

In his perception, although these White Zetsu had similar chakra reactions, the soul fluctuations of each individual were completely different.

More like...

Countless different souls, the power of chakra forcibly mutated.

During the brief pause in their conversation, a strange change occurred in the White Zetsu army below.

Countless White Zetsu began to squeeze and merge with each other, their pale bodies twisting and deforming.

In the blink of an eye, a terrifying mountain of flesh, made up of countless chunks of meat, rose up from the plain.

It towered into the clouds and was far larger than ordinary tailed beasts.

On the mountain of flesh, heads grew haphazardly, each one independent and alluring, densely packed like countless nauseating tumors.

"Hiss hiss hiss..."

A series of chilling snickers came from the mountain of flesh.

Xiao Nan subconsciously frowned, turned her head away, and refused to look at that disgusting scene any longer.

too disgusting.

"What an ugly sight."

Sasuke looked at him with disgust and raised his right hand, pointing to the sky.

"Boom—!!!"

The once calm sky was instantly covered with dark clouds, and countless black lightning bolts surged within the clouds.

"Lightning Release: Kirin".

The lightning gradually took shape and roared out from the sky.

The mountain of flesh seemed to sense its impending doom; countless heads screamed simultaneously, and its body began to struggle violently.

But it was too late.

Lightning struck, followed by a dazzling white light.

Those tens of millions of White Zetsu turned into ashes in an instant.

"Tsk, I'd like to catch a couple more to take back and study."

Orochimaru looked at the empty, giant crater and clicked his tongue in regret. "It's all destroyed like this. What a pity."

Sasuke shook his head and didn't say anything.

To him, this kind of thing, which can only be used to disgust people, has no value whatsoever.

“There is a lot of chakra approaching.”

Nagato, who had been silent all along, suddenly raised his head, his eyes serious. "Moreover, there are quite a few very strong chakra reactions among them."

No sooner had he finished speaking than dozens of whooshing sounds rang out in succession.

One after another, figures fell like shooting stars, landing steadily on the edge of the giant pit.

The leader was a man wearing dark red armor and with long, flowing hair.

"It really is Sasuke-kun."

Hashirama Senju scratched his head and let out a hearty laugh. Even though he was resurrected once again and forced to stand on the opposite side, he still maintained that innocent and silly look.

"I never thought I'd actually be going to have to fight you this time, haha."

Beside him, Tobirama Senju stood with his arms crossed, staring at Sasuke.

Following them, more figures landed one after another.

Most of them were unfamiliar faces that Sasuke had never seen before, but each of them exuded an extremely powerful aura, clearly indicating that they were all renowned experts in their lifetimes.

If nothing unexpected happens, these should be the Kage of the various ninja villages throughout history.

"Going to such lengths, forcibly dragging so many of us out of the Pure Land, just to make enemies of these few people?"

The Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, looked around, his brow furrowed, deep in thought. "That guy named Obito, toying with the souls of the dead to this extent, is truly unforgivable."

"Hmph, you're a long-dead bastard, don't talk so big!"

Kisame Hoshigaki, carrying Samehada, stepped out from the crowd, his eyes filled with fear, and shouted, "You have no idea how powerful this brat is!"

"Even with so many of us, we're probably no match for him."

"I guess the leader is also..."

After his death, the leader would inevitably take action against Sasuke, but since Sasuke is still alive, Pain has probably met with misfortune.

So he began searching for that familiar figure in the crowd behind him.

But after searching around, they still couldn't find the orange-haired man with the Rinnegan.

Finally, his gaze settled on the man next to Sasuke, who had long red hair and also possessed the Rinnegan.

"Um?!"

Kisame looked on in astonishment. "Who are you?! How do you have the Rinnegan?!"

and......

Why does Konan side with Sasuke?

Did she betray us? Or was she coerced?

Kisame's words drew the attention of many of the reincarnated beings present.

His aura was very strong, and he could be considered a prominent figure among these powerful figures throughout history. Naturally, his words carried some weight.

Even he said that so many people were no match for that boy?

Is this kid, who looks no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, really that strong?

"The Kage of past generations, and some once-renowned powerhouses of the ninja world..."

Nagato's gaze swept over the reanimated individuals one by one, his expression remaining calm, but he was somewhat surprised in his heart, "This lineup can indeed be described as luxurious."

“But…” he changed the subject, his brow furrowing slightly, “there isn’t a single Uchiha here?”

Logically speaking, the Uchiha clan, as the strongest clan in the ninja world, has produced countless powerful individuals throughout history.

Not to mention the legendary Madara Uchiha, even the head of the Fugaku clan or Shisui would have been absolutely qualified to be reincarnated.

But now, in this massive army of reanimated beings, not a single Sharingan can be seen.
