Naruto: Sasuke Uchiha Returns from Soul Society

Yoruichi raised an eyebrow slightly at this answer, seemingly somewhat surprised.

Sasuke didn't explain much, but simply reached out and took the long, jet-black sword from the wall into his hand.

He placed the Zanpakuto named "Indra" across his lap, his voice low and deep.

"Although I haven't mastered Bankai, but..."

He raised his head and looked directly at Yoruichi. "I know the name of this sword."

"Oh?"

A glint of light flashed in Yoruichi's eyes.

"and."

Sasuke continued, his tone tinged with confidence, "I fused the power system of that world with my own spiritual power to develop some new techniques."

"A new technique?"

Yoruichi was now truly interested.

He jumped up from the ground with a "whoosh," a smile of excitement on his face as if he had discovered a new toy, and grabbed Sasuke's wrist.

"go!"

"Where to?" Sasuke frowned instinctively.

"The underground training ground, of course!"

Yoruichi grinned, revealing a set of pearly white teeth. "Talking isn't enough. I want to see it for myself."

Without saying a word, he grabbed the still somewhat bewildered Sasuke and rushed straight out of the room.

Sasuke followed behind her in silence.

The face of a fifteen-year-old boy in the mirror was still echoing in his mind.

Four years...

"Hey."

Yoruichi's voice rang out without warning.

She didn't turn around, but slowed her pace and walked alongside Sasuke, curiously observing his well-defined profile.

"What are you thinking about?"

"It's nothing," Sasuke replied, as brief as ever.

"is it?"

Yoruichi chuckled lightly, clearly not believing her. "Then let's talk about something else."

She tilted her head, her voice brimming with barely suppressed curiosity, "What kind of place was the world you went to?"

Sasuke glanced at her but didn't answer immediately.

Yoruichi didn't urge him, but looked at him with a probing gaze and added.

“Urahara only told me that the power system there is called ‘chakra,’ which is very interesting, but he was vague about what it is.”

A sly smile played on her lips. "He said that only those who have experienced it firsthand can truly tell the story."

Sasuke remained silent for a moment, and finally, he slowly spoke.

"Everything is different."

"Hmm?" Yoruichi was somewhat surprised.

There is no falsehood there.

Sasuke's voice was calm, "There are no Shinigami like us, but after people die, their souls go to a place called the Pure Land."

Yoruichi's golden eyes widened slightly. A world without spirit particles?

Where does their power come from?

"The power used by the people there does not originate from the outside world."

Sasuke seemed to see through her thoughts, "It stems from within."

He paused, then explained the composition of power in that world: "The 'physical energy' extracted from the body is combined with the 'spiritual energy' honed through willpower, and what is ultimately formed is 'chakra'."

"Then, through a hand gesture called 'hand seals,' chakra is guided to perform various 'ninjutsu.'"

"Making hand seals?"

Yoruichi repeated the word with great interest, "Like a Kido incantation?"

"not quite."

Sasuke shook his head. "The incantation of Kido is more like announcing the rules to the world and using spiritual particles to unleash power."

"As for hand seals, they are purely a 'command' to the power within one's own body."

He raised his hands and, in front of Yoruichi, formed several basic hand seals with dazzling speed.

"The twelve basic seals correspond to the twelve earthly branches. Through different combinations, one can perform a myriad of techniques."

Ye Yi looked at his fluid and graceful gestures with curiosity in her eyes.

"Oh......"

She let out a meaningful sigh, "Using the language of the body to command one's own power? That sounds quite interesting."

She turned her head, a hint of teasing in her voice, "You've been there for so long, you must have learned quite a few of these interesting 'ninjutsu' techniques, right?"

"Hmm," Sasuke responded faintly.

"Are there many strong people there?" Yoruichi continued to ask, as this was the question she cared about most.

"Have."

In Sasuke's mind, images of Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Itachi Uchiha flashed by.

"There are some guys who, despite their ridiculous ways of doing things, are not to be underestimated."

"Oh?"

Yoruichi's interest grew even stronger. "How strong is it? How does it compare to captain-level opponents?"

Sasuke remained silent.

He couldn't answer that question.

Because he himself has never truly engaged in a life-or-death battle with a captain-level powerhouse.

Seeing Sasuke remain silent, Yoruichi did not press the matter further.

He simply stretched and moved his agile body, his tone filled with longing.

"I really want to see it with my own eyes."

She exclaimed, "A world without spiritual particles, but with a complete power system—just thinking about it makes my blood boil."

She turned her head, stared straight at Sasuke, and said, half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"Hey kid, next time you go, could you find a way to take me with you?"

Sasuke paused slightly in his steps.

He looked at Yoruichi's face, which was full of longing, and a thought flashed through his mind.

Take her there?

If you can't even manage to get back safely yourself, how can you expect to lead others?

"It's difficult."

Just when Yoruichi thought the matter was over, a calm voice continued, "...but it's not impossible."

Chapter 91 Cat Lady Jinchuuriki?

Yoruichi recalled Sasuke's meaningful words from earlier, and the smile on her lips became even more pronounced.

"I'm getting more and more curious. What amazing idea did Sasuke come up with?"

She admitted that her previous remarks were mostly just casual jokes.

Those are two completely different worlds, with different laws and energy compositions. To travel freely between them would be extremely difficult.

"In that world, there is a special kind of creature."

Sasuke didn't stop, calmly looking ahead, as if organizing his thoughts, "They are not flesh and blood, but energy aggregates made of pure 'chakra'."

He stopped and turned to stare at Yoruichi.

"They are called, Tailed Beasts."

"Tailed Beast?"

A flicker of interest flashed in Yoruichi's eyes, and she stopped in her tracks. This word was completely unfamiliar to her.

"An energy aggregate? Like a spirit particle with its own consciousness?"

She tried to understand it using concepts she was familiar with.

Sasuke shook his head. "They're more like natural disasters with the power to destroy the world."

He paused, then continued, "Through a technique called 'Sealing Technique,' these Tailed Beasts can be sealed into a person's body, and the person who carries the Tailed Beast is called a Jinchūriki."

"What did you say?!"

Her cat-like eyes widened suddenly. "To seal a conscious energy entity inside another living soul? How is that even possible?"

"Wouldn't there be a strong repulsion between souls, causing both to collapse together?"

"But they did it."

Sasuke's voice was calm: "Those whose tailed beasts have been sealed are called 'Jinchūriki'."

He recalled the violent yet powerful aura emanating from Naruto.

A thought flashed through Sasuke's mind without warning.

Yoruichi often exists in the form of a cat...
