Naruto: Sasuke Uchiha Returns from Soul Society

Under his greedy gaze, Sasuke chanted the final incantation.

"Let revenge fill this emptiness!"

He raised the long, black sword high and called out its true name.

Indra!

The moment the words fell, the black and red aura surged back, pouring into Sasuke's body and the blade in his hand!

His blue short shirt was instantly torn apart by the black and red spiritual pressure, and in its place was a Shinigami outfit that seemed to be made of shadows, with black flames burning at the hem.

On the back of the clothes, a tattered Uchiha fan emblem was faintly visible in the flames.

His entire body was enveloped in the inextinguishable black flames, like a death god returning from hell.

"It really is Amaterasu's Flame..."

The grass ninja looked at the familiar black flames and confirmed softly, his golden snake eyes flashing with fanaticism, "It's exactly the same as Uchiha Itachi's."

"It seems you know quite a bit." Sasuke's voice became a little hoarse.

Before he finished speaking, he moved.

Without warning, he stomped his foot and vanished.

The grass ninja's alarm bells rang loudly, and he raised the kunai he had already gripped in his hand, holding it horizontally in front of his chest to block.

However, it had no effect.

The kunai melted away like a candle the moment it touched Indra.

The black blade did not stop for a moment, and slammed heavily into the grass ninja's body.

With Sasuke's cold, low shout, a condensed crescent-shaped black flame erupted from the Grass Ninja's chest!

"puff--!"

The grass ninja was struck as if by lightning, blasted away by the force, leaving a deep, gruesome slash on his chest that revealed the bone.

Even more terrifying, the pitch-black flames, like maggots clinging to his bones, ignored the chakra used for defense on his body surface and began to spread wildly and corrode his entire body along the wounds.

"This is... terrible."

Kusanagi looked down at his wounds, which were being devoured by black flames, and a sickly smile appeared on his face.

The next second, his neck suddenly stretched out at an illogical angle, like a venomous snake emerging from its hole, opening its blood-red mouth to bite at Sasuke's neck!

This was his final counterattack!

However, Sasuke had already anticipated all of this.

Faced with the rapidly approaching head, he didn't even try to dodge.

He simply raised his right hand calmly.

"Thousand Birds".

Black and white lightning instantly took shape in his palm.

Without hesitation, Sasuke slammed the raging lightning bolt onto the incoming head.

boom--!!!

A burst of lightning flashed, and the violent energy instantly shattered the Grass Ninja's head, turning it into a sky full of charred remains and blood.

"it's over……"

Naruto, watching this scene from afar, subconsciously swallowed, his heart calming down slightly.

However, Sasuke's crimson Sharingan did not relax in the slightest.

Silently watching the headless corpse that should have fallen down.

Not right.

Instead of collapsing, the corpse began to convulse violently, and the chakra within its body continued to fluctuate wildly in a strange way.

Then, to everyone's horror, a chilling scene unfolded.

"His-"

Like a snake shedding its skin, a pale and slimy hand emerged from the gruesome wound on the chest of the headless corpse!

Next came the wet, long black hair, followed by a complete head.

Finally, a completely new body, sticky and gooey, crawled out of that dilapidated old skin.

"Hehehehe..."

Orochimaru shook off the slime covering his body, his golden snake eyes flashing with a morbid fanaticism. He looked at Sasuke, his voice excited.

"This is truly amazing, Sasuke-kun! Your power, your eyes, everything about you is even more perfect than I imagined!"

He was completely unconcerned about having just been "killed," and his eyes were filled with undisguised possessiveness.

"But that's not enough."

Orochimaru slowly stepped forward, spreading his arms as if to show Sasuke something, his voice full of seduction.

"Do you want to become stronger? Do you want to gain the power to kill that man, or even surpass him?"

"Come here, Sasuke-kun."

He stuck out his long tongue and greedily licked his lips. "I can give you eternal life, and give you endless time to study all the forbidden arts."

"I can free you from this fragile body and make you a truly perfect being!"

"Only I can make your eyes shine with true light!"

Despite these tempting words, Sasuke's face remained expressionless.

eternal life?

For Death, this is not something far-fetched.

He stared silently at the monster before him, at its repulsive appearance.

"Om-"

The black flames that had been swirling around the "Indra" sword, along with the black flames of his Shinigami armor, quietly subsided, and he slowly sheathed the sword.

"what do you mean……"

Sasuke slowly spoke, "Your path to becoming stronger is like a worm, constantly shedding your rotting old skin and then stealing other people's new bodies?"

Orochimaru's smile faltered slightly.

"You call this thing 'eternity'?"

Sasuke's lips curled into a deeply sarcastic smile. "How pathetic."

He turned his head to the side, his crimson Sharingan eyes now filled with undisguised contempt.

"You talk about surpassing limits, yet you don't even have the courage to face death with your own flesh and blood."

"Your so-called 'eternity' is full of cowardice and filth."

"This power won't help me kill that man."

He took one last look at this disgusting creature, his eyes filled with pure disdain.

"It will only tarnish the name of the Uchiha clan."

Chapter 65 Naruto: Sakura, I'm not your babysitter

Those disdainful words seemed to have stung Orochimaru's morbid pride.

The smile slowly faded from his pale face, replaced by a coldness in his eyes.

"What an unlovable brat."

For the first time, a genuine killing intent flashed in Orochimaru's snake-like eyes.

But from the surrounding dense forest, a few faint sounds rang out.

Clearly, the earth-shattering fighting had attracted the attention of the village.

"Looks like we can't continue playing."

He looked at Sasuke, a strange smile returning to his face, as if the killing intent from before had never existed.

"What a pity, Sasuke-kun."

"I also wanted to give you a gift on behalf of your brother."

elder brother?

Upon hearing this, Sasuke Uchiha shuddered as if he had been electrocuted.

Where is he?!

The crimson Sharingan was fixed on Orochimaru.

However, Orochimaru did not answer.

His entire body collapsed with a nauseating writhing motion, transforming into countless tiny white snakes that surged wildly in all directions, leaving only a tattered garment in its place.

The snakes dispersed, but the man's voice, like a ghost, came from every corner of the forest at the same time, making it impossible to tell which direction it came from.

"Uchiha brat, I'll come back to find you again next time."

"If you want to know any clues about your brother, come find me."

I will answer all your questions.

"Remember my name..."

The sound gradually faded away, leaving behind only that arrogant declaration that echoed in the deathly silent forest.

"I am... the immortal Orochimaru!"

Sasuke looked up and around. The same spiritual energy was floating all around him, moving away at an extremely fast speed.

"Oh."

Sasuke let out a cold snort.
