Naruto: Sasuke Uchiha Returns from Soul Society

This boy not only stole her chakra, but also the "immortality" that belonged to the Divine Tree.

If we don't completely eliminate him, simply attacking him is meaningless.

She subconsciously flicked her wide sleeves, as if asking for a solution.

But the cuffs were empty; the dark, shadow-like substance did not appear.

Kaguya froze, her face contorting instantly as anger surged within her, her eyes flashing with murderous intent.

"That damn chakra thief..."

"I originally intended to spare your life, but only to reclaim my chakra."

Kaguya's voice became sharp and piercing, and her long hair danced wildly behind her without any wind.

"It seems that killing you is the only option now."

Without further hesitation, she raised her hand and swung it sharply in the void behind her.

"Yomi Hirazan."

A pitch-black spatial rift silently opened behind her, and Kaguya's figure fell backward, disappearing into it without hesitation.

"...Tsk."

Yoruichi stared at the empty sky, her teeth clenched, her resentment tinged with a hint of helplessness.

"They said they were going to take action, but then they ran away."

She plopped down on the rock, panting heavily.

"That old woman is so cautious it's infuriating."

The battle just now was a truly frustrating ordeal.

She used Kido, Shunsho, and Hollowfication, employing every technique she had learned and could think of.

Kaguya Otsutsuki was indeed not very smart; she took every single trap and attack that came her way.

It's no use!

Whether you sever her arm or shatter her torso, she will recover completely in just a few breaths, without even a noticeable decrease in chakra.

Whenever the situation turns slightly unfavorable, or she senses danger, she immediately opens that damned portal and teleports away, just like she is now, before reappearing as if nothing happened once she has recovered.

Shameless!

mean!

He possesses divine power, yet he acts like a coward who only knows how to fight guerrilla warfare!

Why can't we fight like warriors, engaging in a back-and-forth battle?!

Yoruichi slammed her fist on the ground, venting her frustration.

This is still myself in a "virtualized" state.

If things were as they always were, without Sasuke's support, I probably would have been defeated by her by now.

Yoruichi looked up at the boy beside her.

"Even though you're here now, as long as that spell is still active, we'll never be able to catch her."

"She can fight or run away whenever she wants; the initiative is entirely in her hands."

"We can catch it."

Sasuke's voice was calm and resolute as he slowly raised the "Indra" in his hand. The black blade gleamed with a cold red light under the reflection of the lava.

"She can't escape."

"We spent some time in the desert space just now to figure out what exactly her technique was all about."

Yoruichi paused for a moment: "You figured it out?"

Sasuke didn't explain. He gripped the hilt of his sword with both hands and slowly thrust it into the seemingly empty space in front of him.

There were no obstructions; it was as if a thick, elastic gel had been pierced through.

The air seemed to take on a physical form, its density suddenly contracting and solidifying, with visible ripples spreading outwards from the tip of the knife.

"Open it for me!"

Sasuke's eyes narrowed, his arms tensed, and he suddenly exerted force.

"Pfft."

The pitch-black blade pierced into the void, disappearing completely beneath the hilt.

Immediately afterwards, Sasuke twisted the wrist holding the sword hilt sharply to the right, as if turning a rusty key!

"Snap—Snap—"

Space shattered.

Violence and tyranny.

Before Yoruichi's shocked gaze, the space in front of Sasuke was forcibly "pried" open.

A pitch-black portal with irregular, even somewhat grotesque and twisted edges slowly opened in the void.

"Here are five exhibition spaces: Lava, Ice and Snow, Supergravity, Sand Sea, and Acid," Sasuke explained softly.

"But this is only the surface."

"At the connection point of these five spaces, which is the most central location, there is also a space that is not open to the public and has no special environment."

Sasuke turned his head and looked at Yoruichi.

"That place is the source of her power, and also the transit point for her to replenish her chakra."

"No matter where she escapes to, she will eventually return there."

Sasuke strode toward the dark door, his robes fluttering in the hot wind.

"That's the most crucial part."

"Whether we wait for her to run into the tree stump or take the initiative, as long as we block that place, she will have nowhere to escape."

Yoruichi shook her head helplessly, her figure shrinking in the air, transforming back into the all-black cat.

Push off with your hind leg and jump.

She wanted to leap lightly onto Sasuke's shoulder as usual.

However, due to severe physical injuries and exhaustion, she lost her balance in mid-air and was unable to jump to that familiar height.

The black cat rammed its head into Sasuke's calf, making a dull thud.

"..."

Sasuke paused slightly and lowered his head.

The black cat was lying sprawled on the ground, its two front paws covering its head, looking somewhat dizzy.

"Stupid cat," Sasuke uttered two words indifferently.

"Stop being so long-winded!"

Yoruichi cried out in a fit of anger and embarrassment, but her voice was very weak.

The next second, her body transformed into a purple streak of light, her spiritual energy twisting as she flew toward Sasuke's left shoulder.

Its tail drooped limply, clearly having reached its limit.

"The rest is up to you," Yoruichi said wearily.

"Ah."

Sasuke responded softly, without saying anything more.

He raised his head, looking at the dark portal leading to the core, and gripped the twin swords in his hands tightly.

Step in.

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

The sky, fluorescent and pale green, resembled a piece of diseased moss, slowly wriggling and coiling overhead.

The earth, a deep brown tinged with red, was barren and desolate, with jagged rocks resembling the remains of dead giant beasts, haphazardly piled on this lifeless land.

This is the Origin Sphere, the central hub of all Kaguya's power, and the final destination of all chakra.

Kaguya Otsutsuki hovered in mid-air, her hands forming hand seals, and visible chakra turbulence surrounded her body.

She was greedily devouring the power of this space.

With each breath, the surrounding space trembles.

"Damn it... damn it..."

Kaguya cursed under her breath, her once cool face now filled with twisted resentment.

"Hagoromo, Hamura, and that silver-haired brat..."

"Anyone who tries to steal my chakra must die!"

"Once I regain my strength, I will tear the reincarnation of Indra to pieces!"

Kaguya's eyes flashed with a crazed light, "I'll drain his chakra bit by bit, so he'll kneel under the Divine Tree forever in repentance!"

"Snap—"

A discordant cracking sound suddenly rang out in this deathly silent space.

Kaguya's body stiffened abruptly, and she opened her eyes in astonishment, looking ahead.

Not far in front of her, a dark crack appeared in the void.

"Sizzle—!"

Space was forcibly torn open, and a figure with flowing silver hair, wielding two swords, calmly walked out of the crack.

"Got you."

"You actually managed to get here?!"

Kaguya Otsutsuki suddenly retreated, raising her hands high, chakra frantically gathering in her palms. "The coordinates of the Origin Sphere are absolutely sealed! How did you get in?!"
