Naruto: Sasuke Uchiha Returns from Soul Society

Itachi remained standing in the same spot, without moving.

It was as if the impending fatal attack was nothing more than a gentle breeze brushing past them.

"Clang—!!!"

Kisame Hoshigaki grinned menacingly, turning around at some point, his massive Samehada, wrapped in bandages, blocking Sasuke's attack.

The force of their clash exploded, sending each of them leaping back several meters before landing steadily.

Kisame Hoshigaki stood his massive Samehada on the ground, licked his lips with his tongue, and his eyes were filled with the excitement of battle.

"Kid, you're pretty strong..."

However, he paused slightly, and for the first time, confusion appeared in his eyes.

He looked down at the layers of bandages wrapped around Samehada.

A few wisps of black flame, like maggots clinging to bones, burned silently on the bandage.

Kisame Hoshigaki frowned.

He felt that Samehada in his hand was completely unresponsive to the flames.

This is a demonic sword that can devour the enemy's chakra and turn it into its own.

Faced with this black flame, it had no desire to devour it, as if... it simply couldn't recognize this power as chakra.

"This thing..."

Kisame Hoshigaki stared at the wisp of black flame and muttered to himself unconsciously, "No chakra?"

Chapter 85 I know everything!

Kisame Hoshigaki grinned excitedly and slowly lifted Samehada, which was wrapped in bandages, from the ground.

The bandages at the front were loosened, revealing the eerie blade underneath, covered in barbs that seemed to possess a life of their own.

"Interesting, this is really interesting..."

He chuckled hoarsely, preparing to rush forward again to savor this unique "deliciousness".

However, just as he was about to take a step, several sharp whooshing sounds came from the far end of the street, along with the clamor of ninjas shouting to each other.

It is the village's secret service.

Clearly, they were drawn here by Sasuke's Chidori Spear.

"Kisame".

A calm voice rang out, and Itachi Uchiha had turned around at some point, saying, "Let's go first."

"Huh? Mr. Itachi."

Kisame Hoshigaki's excitement faltered slightly. "It would be too boring to just leave after finally finding a worthy opponent?"

"Our target is the Nine-Tails. We need to avoid unnecessary disturbances. Making too much noise here will attract Jiraiya."

Itachi's gaze swept subtly over the dessert shop that had been divided in two, and over the familiar street in the distance.

If I were to fight Sasuke at full strength here...

Will the village be destroyed?

The thought flashed through his mind and was quickly suppressed back into the darkness in his eyes.

When Kisame Hoshigaki heard the name "Jiraiya," the sneer on his face subsided somewhat.

He clicked his tongue, somewhat annoyed, and hoisted Samehada back onto his shoulder.

"Ugh, what a disappointment."

He muttered something, but still obeyed the order, "What about this kid? Just leave him like this?"

Itachi did not answer.

He glanced one last time at his younger brother, whose body was engulfed in black flames, then his figure flickered and disappeared into the shadows of the eaves, retreating towards the edge of the village.

Seeing this, Kisame Hoshigaki could only let out a helpless snort and follow closely behind.

Want to go?

Sasuke's eyes instantly turned cold.

Without the slightest hesitation, he released the "Takemikazuchi" in his hand.

"laugh--"

A very faint sound, as if space itself were being torn apart, rang out.

Sasuke Uchiha's figure left a distorted space behind before disappearing quietly.

.........

Meanwhile, in front of the ruins of the dessert shop.

"Captain Kakashi!"

Several members of the secret service wearing animal masks arrived in an instant. Looking at the mess in front of them and the smooth trench, they all gasped in shock.

"This is......"

Kakashi Hatake did not answer, but slowly squatted down, picked up a bit of scorched soil from the edge of the ditch with his fingertips, and felt the lingering scent.

"Zi..."

A faint arc of black and white electricity flashed and disappeared from his fingertips.

"This chakra... it's Sasuke's!"

Kakashi suddenly stood up, his heart filled with turmoil.

He looked around, his mind racing.

In the village, who is there now that Sasuke would use a technique of this level?

Could it be...?

A new enemy has infiltrated?!

Kakashi's heart sank.

An ominous premonition enveloped him.

He immediately turned around and gave urgent orders to the solemn-looking members of the secret service behind him.

"Split up! Team one, immediately seal off this area, evacuate all civilians, and report to the Hokage's office that there are signs of a Kage-level battle here!"

"The other team, go find Lord Jiraiya immediately! Tell him the situation is urgent; the village may have encountered an unknown and powerful enemy!"

"Yes!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the secret agents accepted the order and vanished instantly.

Kakashi stood alone before the jagged ravine and slowly closed his eyes.

He quickly detected those massive bursts of chakra, and...

The direction Sasuke chased after.

"Sasuke..."

Kakashi slowly opened his eyes, his dead fish eyes now filled with unyielding worry.

"Please, don't do anything foolish."

Without further hesitation, he vanished from the spot in a flash.

Alone, he followed the three auras and went after them.

.......

Two figures clad in red cloud-patterned black robes darted swiftly across the rows of rooftops, landing silently.

However, behind them, an even faster figure was closing the distance at an astonishing speed.

"laugh--"

Sasuke Uchiha's figure left a barely perceptible afterimage of lightning on the roof tiles, and with each step, the space beneath his feet was slightly distorted.

A flash.

This is the most basic and core move of the Swift Lightning Form, a thrust at supersonic speed.

"Hehe, Mr. Itachi, your brother is really fast."

Kisame Hoshigaki grinned with a ferocious smile on his shark-like face, and they could clearly feel the chilling killing intent locked onto them from behind.

Uchiha Itachi did not respond, but his speed increased even more.

During the chase, Sasuke looked at the two figures ahead and finally let out a sneer.

His voice wasn't loud, but it reached both of their ears clearly.

"What, are you afraid that fighting will destroy the village you love so much?"

This sarcastic question, like an invisible needle, pierced precisely at that tall, imposing figure.

Itachi Uchiha's shoulders stiffened almost imperceptibly for a moment.

"Mr. Itachi, your brother has quite the sharp tongue." Kisame Hoshigaki turned his head to look at Itachi with great interest, his eyes gleaming with anticipation for a good show.

Seeing that Itachi did not reply, Sasuke continued to speak.

"I already know the whole truth about that night."

His voice carried a hint of triumphant satisfaction at his successful revenge.

"Your superior, Danzo, is already dead at my hands."

"Next, it's you."

"Oh?"

Kisame Hoshigaki's massive body suddenly stopped, and a genuine look of surprise appeared on his face.

He subconsciously glanced at his partner beside him, his eyes filled with inquiry.
