Naruto: Sasuke Uchiha Returns from Soul Society

"Is it not over yet?"

Sasuke murmured something, slowly sheathed the "Indra" in his hand, and prepared to take a step.

Kenpachi Zaraki's tall and imposing figure blocked his path. He grinned, revealing a set of gleaming white teeth, and his voice was excited.

"Hey, kid."

"Now that you've taken care of those small fry over there, what's next...?"

He suddenly pointed his Zanpakuto at Sasuke, and a violent spiritual pressure raged around him.

"Isn't it time for us to chop each other up?"

"I'm still fuming from that fight!"

Sasuke stopped, raised his head slightly, and gently placed his fingers on the hilt of his sword.

"also."

Kenpachi's smile grew increasingly ferocious, and his fighting spirit surged forth.

..........

Meanwhile, on the other side of the battlefield.

"boom--!!!"

The two figures collided violently in mid-air before abruptly separating.

Using the force of the recoil, Ginjo Kugo slid backward for dozens of meters, panting heavily as he stared intently at the figure floating in the air opposite him.

"hateful......"

Yincheng gritted his teeth, a strong sense of unease rising in his heart.

In a head-on confrontation, he was completely suppressed!

Even though I've already taken over their Fullbring ability and gained the power of others, why can't I still win?!

This can't go on any longer; we must shake his resolve!

"Ichigo Kurosaki!"

Yin Cheng suddenly shouted, a mocking smile on his face, "After fighting for so long, don't you have even the slightest doubt?"

Ichigo paused slightly, his brow furrowing. "What did you say?"

"Don't you ever wonder why those Grim Reapers would come here?"

Yincheng pointed to Rukia and several captains watching from a distance, "And why is the timing so perfect?"

"They appear just when you are most desperate and helpless, like a script that has been written in advance."

Ichigo's eyes turned cold: "What exactly are you trying to say?"

Do you really think they're here to help you?

Yincheng chuckled and turned his gaze to Rukia not far away. "You felt the spiritual pressure sword that little girl was holding just now, didn't you?"

"If that silver-haired brat hadn't interfered, that knife would already be stuck in your body by now."

"So what?" Ichigo retorted. "It was to help me regain my Shinigami powers..."

"Don't be naive!"

Yincheng rudely interrupted him, his expression turning ferocious.

"That is indeed a tool to restore your strength, but it is also a shackle to monitor you!"

"Haven't you noticed? This so-called agency certificate is actually a surveillance camera!"

"It can transmit all your whereabouts and conversations back to Soul Society!"

"They never trusted you!"

Ginjo pressed closer, his voice reaching Ichigo's ears.

"To the Soul Society, a Substitute Shinigami is nothing more than a useful tool. Once they lose their usefulness or become a threat, they will not hesitate to eliminate them!"

"Just like I was back then!"

Yincheng tore open his clothes, revealing the hideous old scar on his chest.

"My comrades, my friends, have all been killed by Death!"

"Then they pinned all the blame on me, forcing me to flee!"

"This is the Soul Society you desperately tried to protect! This is the true face of those Shinigami!"

Ichigo stood there, stunned, his fingers trembling slightly as he gripped the longbow.

Captain Ukitake's gentle smile came to mind.

This agency certificate is our Squad 13's recognition of you...

And then there was that faint voice emanating from the agent's certificate when he had just regained his strength.

as well as......

Not only Rukia and Renji came this time, but even captains of Byakuya and Kenpachi's caliber came.

Is it necessary to deploy such a lineup to deal with a few Fullbringers?

Or is it...?

As Yincheng said, they actually came to "monitor" or even "execute" him?

"See? You already have the answer in your heart!"

Seeing Ichigo waver, Ginjo's eyes flashed, and he seized this rare opportunity.

"go to hell!!!"

He swung his greatsword fiercely, and dark spiritual pressure gathered wildly on its blade.

"Crescent Moon Sky Slash!!!"

That was the power he had taken from Ichigo, but now it was being used to strike the original owner of the body.

The black crescent-shaped slash roared out, carrying the force to tear everything apart, heading straight for Ichigo's face.

Faced with this potentially fatal blow, Ichigo seemed oblivious, remaining standing in place.

"Ichigo!" Rukia exclaimed from afar.

Just as the black crescent moon was about to engulf Ichigo, he reached out and grabbed the violent slash.

"boom--!!!"

The black spiritual pressure exploded in Ichigo's palm, stirring up a cloud of dust.

"Hahahaha! Arrogant brat!" Yin Cheng laughed wildly, "You dare to catch my Crescent Moon Sky Slash with your bare hands? That's a fusion of our combined power..."

The smoke and dust cleared.

His laughter stopped abruptly.

Ichigo remained standing there, completely unharmed.

He held that black crescent moon in his palm with one hand.

"How is this possible..." Yin Cheng's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

Is this what you wanted to show me?

Ichigo's voice was calm, so calm it was frightening.

"It's a little disappointing."

"Snapped!"

A crisp sound.

Ichigo suddenly clenched his five fingers.

The black crescent moon, which contained terrifying energy, was crushed into powder by him, turning into specks of black spiritual particles that dissipated into the air.

“You…” Yin Cheng unconsciously took a step back.

Ichigo raised his head, his eyes clear.

What you said might be true.

He looked at Ginjo, his tone indifferent, "The agent's pass might be a surveillance device, and the Soul Society might not trust me."

"but......"

He remembered Rukia's anxious eyes and Renji's unconditional trust.

"So what?"

Ichigo raised an eyebrow slightly, and the black longbow in his hand began to emit a dazzling light.

"I want to protect everyone; this is my own will."

"It has nothing to do with the agent's license, and it has nothing to do with the orders of Soul Society."

"As for your power..."

Ichigo stared coldly at Ginjo.

"You say you've learned everything from me? Will you learn the rest as well?"

The moment he finished speaking, Ichigo's aura suddenly changed.

The air began to vibrate violently.

Countless blue spiritual particles converged wildly from all directions, coalescing into shape behind Ichigo.

It was a pair of enormous wings of light composed of pure spiritual particles, radiating a sacred aura.

Above their heads, a six-pointed star-shaped halo quietly appeared.

An unprecedented sense of oppression descended, making it almost impossible for Yincheng to breathe.

"What...what is this...?"

Yincheng's legs went weak, and he could barely hold onto his sword.
