Naruto: Sasuke Uchiha Returns from Soul Society

Hashirama paused for a moment, then sighed helplessly, a simple, bitter smile on his face.

"It's that technique again..."

He scratched his head, his tone full of helplessness.

"That idiot Tobirama, I've told him so many times not to study such forbidden techniques that desecrate the dead, but he just won't listen."

Sasuke watched this scene silently, his tone filled with disappointment: "Is this your source of confidence?"

"Ants living in colonies do not make them stronger."

"Do not."

Madara shook his head. "I just wanted to show you..."

"That was just the prime of the man who once stood at the pinnacle of the ninja world, the only one who could rival me!"

"Lord Madara..." Kabuto suddenly spoke up, a bead of cold sweat appearing on his forehead.

"Although I really don't want to spoil your enjoyment, but..."

He looked at the pillar whose aura was constantly rising, his voice trembling slightly.

"Lord Hashirama's current strength is almost identical to his peak condition in life."

"With my current chakra, I'm not confident I can reliably control him."

"What if he breaks free..."

"Hmph, trash."

Ban snorted coldly and glanced at Kabuto with disdain.

He raised his hand, and several black iron rods appeared out of thin air in his palm.

Those are black rods created using Yin-Yang Release, possessing the ability to seal chakra and control movement.

"Boo! Hah! Hah!"

Several whooshing sounds rang out.

Those black rods, like black lightning, instantly pierced Hashirama's back, shoulders, and limbs.

"Well......"

Hashirama's body stiffened abruptly.

"This thing will help you limit Hashirama's resistance."

Madara looked at the restrained Hashirama and said calmly, "Don't disappoint me."

"That's natural."

Kabuto pushed up his glasses, his eyes gleaming. "Thank you for your assistance, Lord Madara."

He rapidly formed hand seals in front of his chest, and at the same time, Hashirama Senju's hands also began to form hand seals uncontrollably.

A surge of powerful chakra erupted from his impure body, brimming with vitality.

"Are they going to use that trick again...?"

Hashirama's gaze became extremely solemn. Although his body was out of control, his consciousness remained clear.

He looked at Sasuke in the distance, his voice loud and clear, tinged with apology.

"Sasuke, watch out! This technique is far more powerful than the previous ones!"

"Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands!"

With a loud shout, the earth shattered amidst mournful cries.

A colossal wooden Buddha with a thousand hands burst forth from the earth, towering between heaven and earth.

It sat cross-legged, and behind it, thousands of dense arms spread out like a peacock's tail, covering half the sky.

In comparison, Madara's already enormous Susanoo appeared as small as a child before this True Thousand Hands.

The sun is unusually bright today.

It hangs high in the sky, gilding everything in the world with a dazzling golden edge.

But the golden light that filled the sky was forcibly blocked by the wooden Buddha that covered the sky. The thousand hands of the Buddha could only barely let the sunlight pass through, casting a blurry light and shadow on the ground.

"..."

Yoruichi looked up at the giant Buddha that seemed to touch the clouds, her cat-like pupils slightly contracting.

"That's really exaggerated..." she murmured in amazement. "Even in the Soul Society, this level of spiritual pressure collision is probably rare."

"Oh!"

After a puff of white smoke, the black cat disappeared.

"Hey, kid."

Yoruichi flexed her wrists, turned her head to look at Sasuke, and eagerly prepared herself.

"Both of these guys are quite strong, especially that big one, it looks like it's going to cause a lot of trouble."

"Although you are very strong now, this is one against two."

She grinned, revealing a wild smile.

"How about I help you handle one?"

Sasuke shook his head slightly, his voice calm.

"No need, you go over there."

He raised his hand and pointed at Yakushi Kabuto.

"Protect him, don't let him die in the aftermath of this battle."

"what?"

Yoruichi looked in the direction he was pointing, a look of confusion on her face.

"Isn't he the enemy now? Why protect him? Wouldn't it be easier to let him be caught in the crossfire of the fight between these two monsters and die?"

"Do not."

Sasuke withdrew his hand, his gaze deep. "Kabuto Yakushi is a genius."

Orochimaru said that his talent in this area of ​​research is unparalleled.

Sasuke turned his head to look at Yoruichi and said seriously.

"Orochimaru's talent is comparable to that of the top geniuses in my mind."

"The most outstanding genius?"

Yoruichi raised an eyebrow, and two figures appeared in her mind.

"You mean people like Mayuri Kurotsuchi and Kisuke?"

"Ah."

Sasuke nodded.

"The world needs change, and change requires not only power, but also wisdom and technology."

“A person like him, if used properly, can be of great use in establishing a new order in the future.”

"...Alright then."

Yoruichi sighed helplessly. Although she was a little annoyed that she couldn't beat up those two big guys herself, she understood Sasuke's considerations.

This kid is definitely thinking much further ahead than before.

Her figure flickered and vanished from the spot in an instant.

"Humph."

Madara Uchiha took in the whole scene, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.

"What an arrogant junior! At a time like this, he's still worried about the enemy's life or death?"

"Or do you think you can fight against both me and Hashirama on your own?"

Faced with Madara's mockery, Sasuke simply raised his hand and grasped "Indra".

Words are never needed to respond to such arrogance.

All that's needed is greater power.

"Om-"

The blade trembled slightly, emitting a longing hum.

Sasuke's eyes instantly turned cold as he chanted the release incantation.

A storm of dark red spiritual pressure erupted from Sasuke's center!

Purple particles danced wildly in the storm, transforming into purple tornadoes that stretched from heaven to earth, raging and howling across the battlefield.

The earth is groaning, and the rocks are crumbling.

Under this terrifying spiritual pressure, even the air became thick and heavy.

"This power..."

Ban's eyes narrowed slightly, before he could even see the scene at the center of the storm.

"Sizzle—!"

A sharp sound that tore through space rang in his ears, and in the next instant, Sasuke's figure appeared out of thin air at the brow of Susanoo!

There was no unnecessary probing, and no so-called warm-up.

The moment he appeared, Sasuke had already swung his sword.

"So fast!" Ban's heart skipped a beat.

With a cracking sound, Susanoo's outer shell was easily torn open with a huge gash by this one strike!

Black flames surged wildly through the opening, heading straight for Madara's true form.

"Humph!"
