Naruto: Sasuke Uchiha Returns from Soul Society

Chapter 187 Sasuke: I'll take your eyes (5k)

"Who is it?!"

Uchiha Itachi suddenly turned around and looked at the source of the purple chakra.

Not far from the still water, a young man dressed in a black robe stood there.

He held one hand in a loosely clenched position, the huge purple skeletal arm connected to his body, radiating a suffocatingly terrifying pressure.

The boy slowly raised his head.

The cool moonlight filtered through the treetops, dappling his body and illuminating his cold, handsome face and his strangely rotating Mangekyou Sharingan eyes.

It was the same mysterious person who had stormed into the gathering not long ago and suppressed the entire clan with absolute power.

So, was I being followed? Or without my knowledge?!

Sasuke spoke, his voice icy: "You're as disgusting as ever, Danzo."

As soon as he finished speaking, the space within that cloud of blood mist began to twist strangely.

Danzo's figure reappeared unharmed, with no visible injuries except for slightly rapid breathing.

The effect of the last use of Izanagi has not yet expired.

Danzo looked at Sasuke with a look of seriousness and apprehension in his eyes.

He frantically searched his memory, but couldn't find a single face that matched the boy in front of him.

"Who exactly are you?" Danzo asked in a deep voice, his tone tinged with coldness.

"There's no need to know about the dead."

Sasuke coldly uttered those words, raised his other hand, and lightning crackled at his fingertips, instantly condensing the black and white lightning into a sharp spear.

"Thousand Birds Sharp Spear!"

The lightning struck in an instant, piercing Danzo's chest once more.

Danzo's body stiffened for a moment, then vanished into a phantom again, only to re-form a few meters away.

Sasuke watched this scene and let out a disdainful snort.

"Looks like you bastard had already collected quite a few Sharingan before that."

"In that case..."

A hint of ferocity flashed in Sasuke's eyes, and the huge purple skeletal arm rose again.

"Then we'll kill you until you can't be resurrected!"

The skeletal arm, accompanied by a whistling sound, slammed down towards Danzo's head.

"boom--!!!"

A loud bang was heard, and dust billowed up.

A dazzling green light burst forth from the side, forcefully blocking Sasuke's attack.

It was an equally enormous skeletal arm made of green chakra.

The two arms of Susanoo collided violently in mid-air, and the resulting shockwave of chakra snapped all the surrounding trees in half.

Sasuke paused, looking at the person blocking his way.

At this moment, Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan eyes were also spinning wildly.

Although a trickle of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth, his eyes remained resolute.

"stop!"

He shouted, his voice tinged with pleading, "If you kill Lord Danzo here, then there will truly be no room for reconciliation between the Uchiha and the village!"

"reconciliation?"

Sasuke paused slightly, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes. "Even if he tried to gouge out your eyes just now, are you still clinging to this naive fantasy, Shisui?"

"Do you think that letting him go will make reconciliation between Konoha and the Uchiha clan possible? How naive."

Zhi Shui gritted his teeth, offering no reply but showing no sign of backing down.

Danzo looked at the two Uchiha facing off, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

The mysterious Uchiha boy before him possessed unfathomable strength; even after just a few exchanges, he felt immense pressure.

If Shisui is truly persuaded, and the two of them join forces to attack him...

Even if I had a hundred Sharingan eyes, I probably still wouldn't be able to escape this forest.

We have to go!

"Shisui, I'm leaving this place to you."

Danzo acted decisively, retreating rapidly and instantly disappearing into the shadows of the dense forest behind him.

"Want to run?"

Sasuke glanced at Danzo's departing figure, a cold glint in his eyes, and gently gestured to the black cat on his shoulder.

"It's up to you now."

"Ah."

Yoruichi pushed off with her hind legs and lightly leaped off Sasuke's shoulder.

It traced a black arc through the air and vanished into the night in an instant.

"......Um?"

Shisui stared at the black cat that had suddenly disappeared, slightly taken aback.

Is that a ninja cat?

He immediately realized that since Sasuke had sent it out, the target must be Danzo.

"Itachi!"

Shisui abruptly turned his head and shouted to Itachi, who was equally shocked, "Go protect Lord Danzo! We can't let anything happen to him!"

In his view, it was just an ordinary ninja cat; the Uchiha clan had no shortage of such summoning beasts.

Although it was a bit fast, Itachi's strength was more than enough to handle it.

In comparison, the mysterious boy with the kaleidoscope in front of them is the biggest threat.

"Yes!"

Upon hearing Shisui speak, Itachi immediately replied, "I understand."

After saying that, his figure turned into a blur and chased after Danzo in the direction he had fled.

Sasuke watched Itachi's departing figure without stopping him, only a mocking smile appearing on his lips.

Protect?

It's ridiculous.

Although Itachi was already a squad leader in the Anbu at this time and possessed considerable strength, he had not yet awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Even in Soul Society, Yoruichi is a Shinigami at the pinnacle, not to mention that she now possesses complete Sage Mode and Hollowfication power.

Even if Itachi really did awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan, he would be nothing more than a slightly troublesome toy in front of Yoruichi in her current state.

"You're very trusting."

Shisui keenly noticed the composure in Sasuke's expression, and frowned. "Do you really think a cat can handle Itachi and Lord Danzo?"

"You should worry about yourself instead."

Sasuke dispelled Susanoo, his voice calm, "Your naiveté almost killed you, and almost killed the entire Uchiha clan."

“You…” Shisui opened his mouth, wanting to refute, but found himself speechless.

The way Danzo launched his sneak attack without hesitation is still vivid in my mind.

But he cannot back down.

If Sasuke really kills Danzo, then the Uchiha clan and the village will truly be locked in a life-or-death struggle.

"Perhaps you are right."

Shisui took a deep breath, his eyes hardening again. "But what if the coup fails? I can't watch my family be destroyed."

After saying that, his Sharingan suddenly turned, forming the shape of a four-bladed shuriken, and an extremely special ocular power fluctuation emanated from it.

Since reasoning with them won't work, we'll have to resort to that tactic.

"I'm sorry, but for the sake of peace, please abandon that crazy idea!"

Shisui silently chanted in his heart, unleashing his eye power without reservation towards Sasuke, attempting to directly rewrite the other's will and make him a companion who would "protect Konoha".

However......

The expected feedback that the pupil technique would take effect did not appear.

"what?!"

Shisui's face turned deathly pale instantly, and cold sweat beaded on his forehead.

Has Kotoamatsukami stopped working?

No, the target wasn't captured at all.

"How is that possible...?"

He stared in horror at the indifferent-looking boy before him. "Could it be that I've been under an illusion spell?"

Otherwise, how could Kotoamatsukami's eye technique have failed?!

"Illusion?"

Sasuke sneered and mocked, "The owner of the Mangekyou Sharingan can't even distinguish between reality and illusion?"

He raised his hand and gently tapped his right eye with his fingertip.

"How do you think you dodged Danzo's attack just now?"
