Konoha: Naruto, trained by Aizen

Fragments fell, and Zuo Zhu's resolute gaze burned intensely.

"Naruto, answer me, what is the purpose of your Seireitei in creating the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki?"

"Purpose?" Naruto's lips curled into a slight, dismissive smile. "Why should I tell you?"

Sasuke clearly understood that Naruto was extremely arrogant and conceited, so even if he was misunderstood, he wouldn't bother to explain.

Sasuke's journey was arduous; Naruto's plan was definitely not to completely transform humans into Grim Reapers.

"Since that's the case, then I'll beat you until you tell me." He clenched his fist and said coldly.

Naruto was taken aback; Sasuke's confidence clearly surprised him.

"Okay, I'm looking forward to it."

For Naruto, the current battle is merely a warm-up.

"Boom boom boom." The two were entangled with their bare flesh, their punches landing with a resounding thud, each blow causing the earth to tremble and the ground to shake.

Each punch sent the surrounding allied forces back a kilometer away.

The thunderclouds in the sky remained, but they seemed to be pulsating with pain from each of their punches, as if they were about to collapse and shatter at any moment.

The two grew faster and stronger, becoming afterimages in the eyes of others.

"Such power, such speed, is this me after abandoning the Uchiha clan!?" Uchiha Sasuke's eyes widened in horror, a burning passion coursing through his heart.

"This is too strong. Is this the potential of spiritual pressure?" Itachi was speechless with bitterness. Compared to the two of them, he realized that he was like a useless person.

"Boom boom boom." Naruto and Sasuke's battle continued.

Sasuke's power and speed stirred up long-lost emotions in Naruto's heart.

After his encounter with Guy Akagi in the other world, he had hardly encountered a worthy opponent.

Even Madara and Hashirama couldn't stir his emotions in the slightest.

Now, he finds that the blood in his body has warmth.

A longing arose within me.

He wanted to see more of Zuo Zhu's abilities.

Sasuke has proven his potential by being able to hold his own against his usual self.

"Kakaka." With lightning crackling around his body, Zuo Zhu unleashed a punch in an instant.

"Accumulate." Zuo Zhu's speed and power surged once again, his fist breaking the sound barrier, and his white robe could barely conceal his solid muscles, bulging outwards.

The friction between the fist and the air generated flames, and the lightning brought with it a piercing shriek.

"Condense, Meta Domain!" Naruto drew his Zanpakuto and enveloped the two of them in Meta Domain.

Sasuke's punch was so powerful that it could cause irreversible damage to the Death God Alliance.

After using his Zanpakuto, Naruto hastily retaliated, throwing a punch at the attacker.

"Boom!" A shockwave rose up, the earth cracked, and Naruto was immediately sent flying backward like a cannonball, his body flying a thousand meters away.

"Such power... it seems you've broken free from everything that bound you." Naruto stood up, casually brushing the dust off his clothes, his eyes filled with admiration.

"But that's still not enough, isn't it?"

Zuo Zhu felt a little bitter.

Although his punch landed, it still couldn't cause any damage to Naruto.

This is undoubtedly a cause for despair.

The greater the progress, the more visible the barriers and insurmountable obstacles become.

Just like how mortals view gods, no matter how powerful mortals are, they cannot defeat the concept of gods, and they cannot clearly perceive just how powerful gods are.

Only those who are close to God, and who may become God, can more deeply understand the gap between themselves and God.

Sasuke took a deep breath, his eyes fixed on Naruto, and lightning began to continuously swirl and erupt beneath his feet.

"Ever since we met, I've been chasing after you, but no matter how hard I try, the gap between us keeps widening," Sasuke said in a low voice, slowly walking towards Naruto.

"The day you left Konoha, my heart was filled with confusion and pain, because in my heart, you were not only my partner, but also my dearest friend who guided me." Sasuke said sincerely.

"I couldn't understand your thoughts, nor did I agree with your ideas, until finally... I understood."

"Only those who have experienced pain can understand pain. I agree with the Seireitei's philosophy and believe that you can bring peace."

"I abandoned the Uchiha clan, left Konoha, found a new direction, and clarified my own heart. I will fight for my own justice."

“I didn’t want to get involved in this war. But I have to be clear about one thing: if your purpose in creating the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki is really to turn the ninja world into a pure land, I absolutely cannot stand idly by. So, I’ve come.”

“Even though I understand that I could never be your match,” Zuo Zhu said, enunciating each word clearly.

Before the final battle, Sasuke had already settled the villagers. This time, he was prepared to die!

Naruto smiled after hearing Sasuke's heartfelt words.

"I have no interest in doing something like transforming the ninja world," he said, shaking his head.

"As expected, you are still the Naruto I know." Upon hearing this, Sasuke revealed a relieved smile.

"Then, I will go all out to show you everything I have."

The nature of this battle has changed; it will now be a battle between two partners who trust each other.

For Naruto, Sasuke was also a partner he valued.

Like Lee, Sasuke is someone with whom he formed a bond during his time in Konoha.

Although he had been planning everything, he was not Aizen after all, and he also had feelings.

Therefore, they will deliberately pay attention to Zuo Zhu and promote Zuo Zhu's strength.

"Be careful, Sasuke, you might die if you're not careful."

"All things in the universe, the flowing blade is like fire." Naruto drew his Zanpakuto, and an endless sea of ​​fire surged, engulfing the entire Meto Domain. The earth cracked, and lava spewed out.

Meta Realm, which was originally predominantly red, was now like a living hell.

The temperature in the air alone is enough to cause an ordinary person to dehydrate and die within seconds.

Zuo Zhu's expression turned excited; he tilted his head back, veins bulging on his forehead.

"Ah!" He let out a shrill roar, and lightning erupted all over his body, causing the surrounding rocks to fly everywhere with a deafening roar.

The red sky was pierced by lightning, and in the distance, white light shot into the clouds, forming a dazzling white cloud at the top of the sky.

"Kaka." A crack appeared at the very top of Meta's Domain, and it began to spread at a snail's pace.

This shows that Sasuke's current power is enough to shatter Meta Domain in its Shikai form.

With an even more piercing roar from Sasuke, he bent his legs, maintaining a horse stance, and his spiritual pressure surged upwards from his body.

The airflow in the entire area was reversed, and his eyes emitted a blinding yellow light.

"Such spiritual pressure..." Naruto's eyes widened, and for the first time in his life, he showed a look of astonishment and shock.

In my perception, Sasuke's spiritual pressure increased exponentially, and he quickly broke through the Bankai Shinigami, reaching a new level.

Amidst the crackling of lightning, Sasuke's black hair transformed into golden hair, standing on end, and the twin boys also turned golden.

"Come on, Naruto!"

"Zuo Zhu spoke, his voice echoing in the space.

"Is this the potential of a Quincy?" Naruto murmured, unable to hide the shock in his eyes.

“As expected, you are the one who best fits the plan.” He said something that left Zuo Zhu somewhat puzzled.

"Whoosh." Ryujin Jakka traced a path in Naruto's hand.

The sea of ​​fire in the sky immediately fell towards Sasuke like meteorites, stretching as far as the eye could see.

Such flames!

A little trick for killing insects!

"Zuozhu stood amidst the flames, his legs suddenly bursting forth, leaving two deep craters in the ground. He quickly approached the sea of ​​fire and threw a punch."

"Sizzle!" It was as if a golden beam of light was torn through the air, piercing directly through the sea of ​​fire.

"Your abilities are not bad!" Naruto laughed, his body radiating a red spiritual pressure.

"Eight Gates Formation - Modified!" With a fierce shout, an indescribable spiritual pressure burst forth.

"Bang!" Zuo Zhu was hit hard in the abdomen. His eyes widened and he spat out gastric juices. He was sent flying backward into the mountains at an even faster speed.

But surrounded by lightning, he almost instantly covered the distance between himself and Naruto, and threw a punch.

"Hmm? He seems completely unaffected by such a heavy blow, with no change in strength or speed?" Naruto dodged easily, his right hand conjuring up Ryujin Jakka, and slashed fiercely at Sasuke.

The fire dragon coalesced within, directly engulfing Sasuke.

"Crack crack crack." A blinding flash of lightning appeared, and a lightning dragon burst out from the left assistant, neutralizing the fire dragon.

"Bang." Sasuke punched Naruto squarely.

"Naruto, I've become stronger now!"

His figure kept leaping and flashing in the space. When the speed reached its limit, even the Flying Thunder God could not match it.

In the blink of an eye, countless punches and kicks landed on Naruto.

Naruto was beaten up in the space like a punching bag.

"I want to thank you for making me aware of the existence of the Uchiha clan, but I don't want to become a Shinigami. I want to walk my own path, and I can't abandon my human identity!"

"As he spoke, Sasuke punched Naruto high into the air, then gathered his hands together, condensing a yellow energy wave that shot towards Naruto."

"There can be a delicate balance between humanity and death, can't there?"

"Boom." Naruto was engulfed in the explosion, but when the explosion ended, Naruto was found to be completely unharmed.

The Zanpakuto in his hand emitted a faint glow.

The Bankai of Kyoka Suigetsu can grant immunity to or distort and transfer all damage, and can even reverse life and death, but this ability cannot be used continuously.
