Naruto: Sasuke Uchiha Returns from Soul Society

He raised his hand and gripped the Zanpakuto at his waist.

"I'll give you a chance."

Sasuke said softly, "Swing your sword at me as much as you want before I draw it."

"otherwise......"

"I'll get there first and send you to your death."

A cold glint flashed in Tsukishima's eyes.

"Then... as you wish."

Before he finished speaking, his figure had already disappeared from the spot.

The next instant, a sharp blade of light appeared on Sasuke's side of the neck.

Sasuke slightly raised his sword sheath to block Tsukishima's attack.

"You reacted very quickly."

Tsukishima was not surprised. He slid his long sword along the scabbard, sparks flying as he aimed for Sasuke's wrist.

Sasuke remained expressionless, and with a flick of his wrist, the scabbard spun like a dragon.

The two engaged in a fierce battle within a small space.

"That black flame just now..."

As Tsukishima swung his sword, he casually remarked, "Is it the power of your Zanpakuto?"

Sasuke dodged a horizontal slash and nodded calmly: "Yes."

“I see.” A strange smile appeared on Tsukishima’s lips. “Although my sword was blocked by the black flames, it still managed to strike it.”

Do you know what this means?

He suddenly increased his strength, trying to force Sasuke back, but he himself was forced to retreat.

"This means everything about this knife—its name, its abilities, its weaknesses, even your habits when using it..."

A confident glint shone in Tsukishima's eyes. "It's all in my past now."

"I understand it completely now."

"learn?"

Sasuke looked at him, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes. "So what if you know his name? So what if you know his abilities?"

"So-called intelligence can only be the key to victory when both sides are evenly matched."

His immense spiritual pressure surged once more, forcing Moon Island back several meters.

"But in the face of absolute power..."

Sasuke looked at him with disdain, "Everything you know is meaningless."

"is it?"

Tsukishima gave a composed smile and pressed forward again.

"Then let me verify it."

This time, every strike he made seemed to be precisely calculated, always hitting Sasuke in the blind spot where he was exerting his strength, as if he had truly seen through all of Sasuke's movements.

"Sure enough."

Tsukishima was secretly delighted. "Although he is very strong, as long as I understand his habits, I will have an opportunity to take advantage of him."

The two figures darted across the rooftop, their movements a dazzling display of swordplay.

Gradually, Tsukishima seemed to have gained the upper hand, and his offensive became more and more intense, while Sasuke began to retreat step by step, seemingly falling into a passive position.

"Now!"

As Sasuke changed his footwork, Tsukishima keenly seized the opportunity and thrust his long sword straight at Sasuke's neck!

"Successful!"

This time, Sasuke tilted his head slightly, as if trying to avoid it, but then stopped, as if remembering something.

"Pfft—!"

The Tsukishima sword struck Sasuke's neck, but no blood gushed out.

Only a layer of blue patterns, like tranquil moonlight, appeared, forcefully stopping the blade.

"..."

Tsukishima stopped moving, staring at the blue patterns with a look of astonishment.

What kind of defense is this?

"so......"

Sasuke's voice rang out calmly as he coldly stared at Tsukishima, who was so close at hand.

"The reason you went to such lengths, even risking your life, and still cling to hope for this so-called victory..."

Sasuke raised his hand and pointed to the knife at his neck.

Is this it?

"You want to rewrite my past through this?"

Tsukishima's heart skipped a beat. He abruptly drew his sword and retreated, creating distance between himself and Sasuke.

The smile on his face disappeared, and he gradually became serious.

"You know..." Tsukishima's voice was a little hoarse, "You deliberately let me hit you?"

"Otherwise what?" Sasuke touched his neck, his tone indifferent. "You think you can hurt me?"

"..."

Tsukishima took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the unease in his heart.

"What a terrifying guy. He knew my abilities all along, yet he still dared to do this..."

Should I call you confident, or arrogant?

"Think what you want."

Sasuke lowered his hand, his eyes indifferent. "Now, you've achieved your goal."

"Then let me see just how far your so-called 'past' can go."

"Hmph, you'll regret this."

Without further ado, Tsukishima closed his eyes and activated his Fullbring.

Following the connection established by that last strike, his consciousness instantly invaded Sasuke's past.

"Let me see what secrets you're hiding..."

Tsukishima silently recited in his heart, preparing to find the most suitable entry point in that long life and forcibly insert himself as a "benefactor" or "close friend".

If only we could rewrite his past and make him develop an unbreakable bond with us...

Therefore, I am the victor in this battle!

However, when he finally saw the so-called "past" clearly, he was completely stunned.

"what is this?"

Tsukishima stared in disbelief at the fragments of memory before her.

Too little.

Very few.

In his memory, the boy named "Uchiha Sasuke" only had a few scattered years of memories!

And those memories...

They're all in Soul Society!

The Shinigami Academy, the Eleventh Division, and the battle with Kenpachi Zaraki...

Apart from that, it was completely blank.

"How is that possible...?"

Tsukishima's voice trembled, "Didn't this guy have a childhood?"

"Where are his parents? Where are his friends? Where did he come from?! And where did he get this power?"

How could a person only have such a short past?!

unless......

"Could it be because his strength is too great, or because of some special physique, that my abilities cannot fully read him?"

Tsukishima could only force himself to find an explanation.

After all, this young man is shrouded in too many mysteries, so it wouldn't be surprising if anything happened to him.

"Never mind!" Tsukishima gritted his teeth. "Having this memory is enough!"

"As long as he remembers me as the most important person in that memory..."

Tsukishima's consciousness swiftly traversed those fragmented memories, finally settling on a single image.

That was Sasuke, a young man who had just entered the Shinigami Academy, aloof, cold, and out of place with those around him.

"This is it."

Tsukishima sneered inwardly as his memories began to reshape.

Beside that aloof boy, another figure appeared.

A gentle and refined man who always wears a smile.

He is Sasuke's older brother and his only family in this unfamiliar Soul Society.

He taught Sasuke how to wield a sword; he was there for Sasuke through his most difficult time; he was willing to fight the entire world to protect Sasuke...

"I am your family member with whom you depend on each other for survival, someone you absolutely cannot betray."
