Chapter 279 Sasuke IF Line (1) Experience and Shikai (7K)

Seven-year-old Sasuke was awakened by the cold wind in the wilderness.

He shivered, his body shaking.

There was clearly a barren, cold grassland in front of him, and in the distance there were thin, sparse woods, with dim and warm colors, but his eyes were still full of "scarlet".

"Itachi Uchiha."

He struggled to get a name out of his mouth.

While trembling, the tears in his eyes couldn't stop flowing.

I am sad for those relatives and friends who died, and I am also regretting my weakness last night.

There was no resistance, and he hid in the cupboard shivering.

He had obviously begun to learn how to become a ninja, and he had said all day long that he wanted to become a powerful ninja like his father and Uchiha Itachi, but when faced with that kind of thing, he couldn't do anything subconsciously.

What a coward!

Sasuke scolded himself and looked up at his surroundings.

Although he had just experienced that kind of thing, the whooshing of the cold wind made his brain no longer so ups and downs, and he could analyze the situation he was in relatively calmly.

Uchiha Itachi didn't kill himself.

He only used the so-called "Mangekyo Sharingan" technique on the three magatama on himself.

Then he should still be in Konoha Village.

But here.

It's definitely not "Konoha".

Not even within the "Fire Nation".

The landscape environment of the "Land of Fire" is basically composed of extremely lush forests. Such sparse woods, which look like the heads of middle-aged men in their fifties, are impossible to appear in the Kingdom of Fire.

Was he taken away by Uchiha Itachi?

Still say.

Did people from other villages foresee the civil strife in the Uchiha clan today and abduct themselves, the only member of the Uchiha clan?

Sasuke turned his head carefully and mobilized his cold, heavy limbs.

Not tied down.

There were no traces of ninja activities or anything left by Itachi Uchiha around.

However, the traces of human activities are obvious.

Not a ninja, but the traces left by the work of ordinary humans without any special abilities.

It seems that he was not taken away by Uchiha Itachi.

He was not captured by other villages.

No matter who it is, if they are really caught, they should at least put some restrictions on themselves, tie them up, seal their hands and feet, or not give themselves a chance to wake up in the first place.

Sasuke stood up and checked his surroundings. There were no traps.

He moved forward cautiously.

Then he took long strides and started running wildly.

A few minutes later, a village pierced him behind the trees, and Sasuke ran.

After arriving at a room, he stopped, held on to the wall, and took a big breath.

It's safe!

At least it's safe for now.

The houses here are densely packed and are very typical residential buildings, and you can even see some shops.

A village for ordinary people.

Although I am young, at least I am a ninja and I know how to do ninjutsu.

Even adults cannot threaten themselves.

that is

Sasuke was confused. He really ran over safely. What happened? Could it be that Uchiha Itachi was discovered by Konoha after he knocked himself unconscious, and then used himself as a hostage to escape from Konoha and the Land of Fire.

After his goal is achieved, he just throws himself into the wild?

is that so?

While I was thinking, my ears moved and I heard footsteps coming from the house.

Sasuke didn't hide.

He is an ordinary person without chakra, and there is only one person listening to the footsteps, so the danger is not high.

Can be contacted.

Regardless of good intentions or bad intentions, the most important thing is to first figure out where you are now.

The owner of the footsteps was a middle-aged man. He looked at Sasuke with a helpless expression: "You little brat, what are you going to do?"

"I don't have any food here."

"If you want to steal, go to Yamamoto's house."

Think of yourself as a thief stealing food?

He is a good person to have such an attitude.

"I'm not a thief." Sasuke shook his head and blinked, "I'm a little lost. Where is this place?"

The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows: "Did you come from another district?"

"This is Runlin'an."

"The place closest to Seireitei will be much safer than where you were before."

Sasuke looked confused. He wasn't pretending to be pitiful, he was really confused.

Runlinan?

Seireitei?

I have never heard of these place names. Even within my family, these two place names have never been mentioned in the books introducing the five major countries and some small countries.

"What country is this in?" He pursed his lips and asked.

"A country?" The middle-aged man was amused by his words, "There is no such thing as a country in Soul Society."

"We are all under the jurisdiction of the Seireitei and the Gotei 13."

The look of confusion on Sasuke's face remained unchanged.

The man noticed that he paused in his words and tilted his head unexpectedly: "Didn't the God of Death explain it to you? They are the guys in black clothes who hit your forehead with a knife."

He raised his hand as if he were holding something, and beat it down vividly.

Sasuke was confused.

The god of death in black clothes?

Never heard of it.

"What a dereliction of duty." The middle-aged man complained, "No wonder you look so embarrassed."

He spoke in a longer tone and stared at Sasuke: "Then you are still a child, but let me tell you straight away, you are already dead. This is the world of the dead, the Soul Society governed by the God of Death."

"You're pretty lucky, you can still come here without knowing anything."

"Run'an Forest is the area closest to Seireitei and the safest."

"If you have the talent to become a god of death, there will be plenty of food. You can fill your stomach without doing petty theft."

The man was still talking about the introduction.

Sasuke had no intention of listening to these things, and the two words "dead" lingered in his mind.

He died!

That man Uchiha Itachi finally killed himself.

He clenched his fists.

In this case, wouldn't it mean that no one would avenge the Uchiha clan?

"If you have nowhere to go, I can take you in." The middle-aged man waved and touched Sasuke's head, "Death is indeed a cruel thing for a child like you."

Sasuke said nothing, lowered his head and remained silent.

Three years later.

Sasuke sat on the roof and looked into the distance. It was displayed openly and openly in front of everyone without any obstacles. It was obviously only a line away. Compared with the downtrodden and poor Rukongai, the Seireitei was like heaven.

He is not dissatisfied with his current life. As the son of the leader of the Uchiha clan, his life is not as luxurious as that of the nobles of the Fire Country.

only

This world called "Soul Society" may not be the world where you originally lived.

During these three years, he asked many people and learned many things.

There are no countries such as the "Land of Fire" and the "Land of Water" in this world. There is only a regime called the "Tokugawa Shogunate", and the top leader is not a daimyo, but a thing called the "Emperor".

Of course there were ninjas, but their status was low - that didn't change much.

But the status of "samurai" is very high.

Ninjas in the world don't seem to know ninjutsu, or their "ninjutsu" is completely different from the ninjutsu that Sasuke understands and uses "chakra".

And the most important thing.

There is no name for Uchiha in "Soul Society".

Regardless of the so-called ruffians who "dominated one side" or the chief officers and captains in the Seireitei whose reputation could spread to Rukongai, no one has the "name of Uchiha".

Among the familiar so-called nobles, there is no "Uchiha" clan.

Is it possible that the top "blood successors" and "ninja families" in the ninja world have become ordinary and mediocre people after death?

People who bear the name "Uchiha" should be among the top ones no matter where they are.

"Sasuke." He was thinking, and the middle-aged man called from downstairs, "Someone is looking for you."

"Here he comes." Sasuke responded and jumped down from the roof, "Who is it this time?"

He is different from ordinary souls.

As one of those with "spiritual power", he has a lot of needs for food.

As a ninja, when faced with this kind of problem, the first solution he thought of was to accept the mission.

Clean the firewood pile for the grandma next door, fetch water for the food store owner next door, and catch the pets that are running around.

There will also be some tasks such as "teaching gangsters a lesson" and "resolving quarrels".

Sasuke doesn't know many ninjutsu.

Three Body Technique, Fire Ball

Although "spiritual power" is somewhat different from "chakra", the technique can also be successfully performed.

It's not very powerful, and it has no problem dealing with those gangsters in Rukongai.

inside the house.

The man shook his head and said with a smile: "This time is not a mission entrustment, but the God of Death is looking for you."

Sasuke narrowed his eyes and stopped in the yard without stepping into the house.

grim Reaper?

Those guys from Seireitei?

What to do with yourself?

"Little guy, don't be so nervous." In the room, a god of death waved his hand, "We won't do anything to you."

"If you think you have a problem, then it shouldn't be the two of us, but the guys from the Criminal Army."

Another Shinigami spoke: "According to the records of Division 12, there was a powerful spiritual pressure fluctuation in Runanlin three days ago, leaving traces of the fire ghost path."

"Did you do it?"

Sasuke nodded and said calmly: "It's me, but the people I killed were all villains."

"They use blackmail"

Death interrupted him: "We are not here to investigate those trivial matters."

"Can you show us how to use that fire-based ghost technique again?"

Sasuke looked at them, thought for a moment and responded: "Of course, no problem."

They came to the lake.

Sasuke formed the seal, raised his head with the "巳" seal, and the afterimages flew quickly.

"Fire Escape, a powerful fireball technique!"

Like a toad, its cheeks swelled, and flames spurted out from its mouth, gathering into a ball as big as a millstone, bright and dazzling, and rushed forward, the lake water was evaporated, and steam floated upward.

The heat is scorching hot.

The two gods of death standing by the lake felt stinging on their faces.

Not to mention ordinary people who don't have spiritual power.

"It's really an exaggerated power. Can a kid who is not a Shinigami use this?" A Shinigami exclaimed, "This is almost comparable to an intermediate Kidō."

Another person shook his head: "I don't have any talent for ghosts."

Sasuke stopped his hand and turned to look at the two Shinigami.

"A talent like yours would be overkill in Rukongai." The Shinigami said with a smile, "Young man, do you want to become a Shinigami?"

"With your talent, you can definitely become a senior chief officer, maybe even a company captain."

really!

Sasuke said secretly, it was the same as he guessed.

These people came to him without any malice, that could only mean they saw his talent and wanted to recruit him.

There was no reason to refuse.

In this world, only by becoming a god of death could one learn more.

Only then could one figure out why he had inexplicably come to such a "world of the dead" in another world.

"How can I become a god of death?" Sasuke asked.

The god of death raised his hand and pointed to the Soul Society: "In a few days, the Maou Spiritual Academy will start school, go there."

"There, you will learn how to become a god of death."

Sasuke looked in that direction.

Spiritual Academy?

Is it similar to "Ninja School"?

Every year when the cherry blossoms are flying, it is the day when the Maou Spiritual Academy recruits new students. Except for those boys and girls who dream of becoming Shinigami, few people in the Soul Society and the Gotei 13 pay attention to these things. After all, in most cases, the quality of the freshmen who enter the school will not change. Those who come from the True Blood will become the officers, and those who come from Rukongai are mostly consumables, and a few may be able to get a position as officers.

But this year's class is different.

There is a "genius" from Rukongai, who is "fifth-level spiritual power" when he enters the school.

His advantages are not only "strong spiritual pressure".

He also has the talent to "learn everything in one go".

Kidou, swordsmanship, white fighting.

However, after only one month of enrollment, the teachers have all reached a consensus and exaggerated. Not to mention the seniors, even the low-level officers who have joined the team and have been trained for a period of time will not be the opponent of this genius.

Uchiha Sasuke walked through the campus.

In his ears, there were noisy discussions of those students.

"Is that the genius Uchiha?"

"He's so handsome."

"He's just a child, he hasn't grown up yet."

"When he grows up, he will definitely be a very outstanding handsome guy."

"Today seems to be the day when they distribute the first-year students. I don't know how talented he is in Zanpakuto. If his talent in Zanpakuto is the same as in other aspects, then he will probably graduate in just one year."

"Graduate in one year? I remember that even Captain Fengqiao, who became the captain of the third division not long ago, was not so talented."

Some people are discussing his talent, and some people are discussing his appearance.

But Sasuke doesn't care about these things.

He only has "Zanpakuto" in his mind.

The power system of the god of death is completely different from that of the ninja. The core of the power is not the "jutsu", but the existence called "Zanpakuto". According to the teacher, Zanpakuto is the manifestation of the spiritual power of the god of death and a partner who coexists with the god of death. Most of the power of the god of death comes from this.

This is power!

As long as he knew the reason for the shuttle and could go back, with the help of this power, he would be able to kill that man and avenge the Uchiha clan.

In the classroom.

The teacher distributed the shallow sword.

Sasuke took it and practiced sword Zen as taught before.

Almost at the moment of the practice, a voice sounded in his ears.

"Call my name--"

This voice shouted out from the sword, from the body, and from the depths of the blood.

Uchiha Sasuke opened his eyes--

Scarlet, bloody.

A calm and indifferent female voice was heard beside my ears: "This survivor of the Uchiha clan is still lucky. He actually opened his eyes at this time."

"He is the younger brother of that man. He should have similar talents." Another male voice was equally indifferent, "How is his condition?"

"Surprisingly healthy." The female voice responded, "That man still held back."

"He killed an entire family, but when facing his own brother, he still couldn't bear it?"

The male voice emphasized: "I'm asking about his eyes."

"No." The female voice was decisive.

"Have you checked the knife?" the male voice asked again.

The female voice replied angrily: "I checked it. It's an ordinary knife. It seems that this kid still has some courage. He was holding the knife in his hand when he fainted. He wanted to use it to resist the man."

"It's a famous weapon. Do you want to take it away?"

The male voice was silent for a while and shook his head: "Forget it, let him keep it."

The two of them didn't care that Sasuke on the bed had woken up. They discussed him, his blood limit, and the property of the Uchiha clan unscrupulously.

Sasuke's mind was full of thoughts.

Even if his eyes didn't see anything decisive, just by hearing the conversation between the two people, he could confirm that he had left the "Soul Society" and returned to Konoha, and this time was the time when the man just left and he fainted.

But.

I have been away from Konoha for more than three years.

Time has not changed.

So what I experienced in the Soul Society, was it real?

Was it an illusion because I couldn't bear Uchiha Itachi's illusion?

Wait, the knife.

He tilted his head slightly and looked at the bedside, where a katana was leaning against the wall.

The two people talking beside him didn't see the specialness of this sword.

But he felt like he was connected by blood.

There was no doubt that this was his Zanpakutō.

It wasn't a dream.

Sasuke suddenly felt a surge of strength in his heart and struggled to sit up from the bed: "Do you know where that man went?"

Even though it has been three years.

But when he mentioned this matter, the deep-buried anger surged out again, burning fiercely and hot, causing Sasuke's heart to be burned with great pain.

"I don't know." The man said decisively without any hesitation, "When we discovered the tragedy of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Itachi had already escaped."

"Didn't you stop him?" Sasuke gritted his teeth.

"Itachi Uchiha is an Anbu. He knows the defense situation in the village." The male voice answered, "He escaped quietly and secretly. We had no idea about it."

"It's just because the Konoha Security Department did not conduct routine patrol tonight. We were ordered by Lord Hokage to investigate, and we discovered the tragedy of the Uchiha clan."

Sasuke clenched his fists and said nothing.

Neither man nor woman meant to comfort him.

There was only a female voice pretending to be gentle, but it was different from real tender care in nature. A cold and mechanical greeting came: "Uchiha Sasuke, you just have a good rest in the hospital. No matter what problems you have, the village will be your strong backing."

"Don't worry about medical expenses or your future living expenses. If something like this happens, the village will continue to support you until you graduate and officially become a ninja."

Sasuke pinched the sheets.

Are the medical expenses and living expenses that you care about the most?

The tragedy of the Uchiha clan being wiped out caused the entire Konoha to feel uneasy.

Itachi Uchiha, who had made such "great achievements", was undoubtedly classified as an "S" level traitor nin by Konoha.

But this meant nothing to Sasuke.

Apart from this news, he never received any information related to Uchiha Itachi.

Konoha greeted him with greetings.

but.

Sasuke could feel that no one really cared about his situation. The greetings in the village came from the blood in his body and from his talent of opening the Sharingan eye at the age of seven.

Konoha suggested that Sasuke change his environment and not live in the Uchiha mansion.

Sasuke didn't agree.

He is no longer the ignorant child who was protected by his family.

He has had a "ninja" career for three years.

I've seen some dark stuff.

Someone is coveting the Uchiha clan's property and is already taking action, but it's not clear who this person is yet.

Sasuke investigated secretly.

All the important ninjutsu scrolls in the family disappeared, and only some relatively unimportant ones remained.

On the corpses of Uchiha whose eyes were opened, all the Sharingan eyes were dug out, leaving only empty eye sockets.

The explanation given by Konoha is that when Uchiha Itachi defected, he packed up the important properties of the Uchiha clan and took them away.

In short

Everything that caused doubts in Sasuke's heart was put on Uchiha Itachi's head.

Although Sasuke doesn't value these things.

He has learned some very powerful techniques in Soul Society, and has been able to chant up to the thirty-fifth serial number.

The family's ninjutsu didn't help him much.

But these are all things that belong to Uchiha. It is unforgivable for outsiders to take advantage of Uchiha's loneliness to rob his family's property.

Intellectual property cannot be preserved.

At least the actual property cannot be lost anymore.

When he becomes strong enough, he will take it back one by one from those who took away his family's property.

One month later.

Sasuke was very content during this time.

He went to class in a disciplined manner and was sent home to practice orthodox ninja training. He did not expose any news related to "Soul Society". Even the training in swordsmanship was just to consolidate the basic skills.

A copy of the "Sharingan" blood inheritance limit is enough to make people salivate.

"Soul Society" and "Another World", these things sound more attractive than the "Sharingan".

In the bedroom.

Sasuke sat at the table, turning his Sharingan, recalling what he had seen during this time.

There are ninjas in Konoha who are monitoring him, probably those ANBU, but they are not very strong, only at the level of chunin.

Too

After all, in the eyes of others, he is just a student who has not graduated from the ninja school. Even if his eyes have been opened, a team of chuunin is enough to keep him under surveillance.

These people are very cautious.

It was as if something was restraining them, preventing them from going too far. They only dared to monitor in secret and did not dare to be exposed to the public.

This is somewhat unreasonable.

He was just an orphan, and a child who seemed to have little strength. Even if Konoha did something too much, there would be no consequences.

Konoha doesn't want to, is it really that kind?

I'm afraid not.

From the stolen scrolls and the disappeared Sharingan, it can be seen that Konoha will never be so kind.

But that's what they're doing now.

Does the Uchiha clan hide something that they are afraid of?

Sasuke pondered and shook his head to throw away these complicated thoughts.

There is no evidence, no clues, and it is easy to mislead yourself by just guessing.

No matter what the reason is, the current situation is still beneficial to me. The blood of the Uchiha clan can also be a good bargaining chip. As long as I show enough talent, the village will definitely be more inclined to help me avenge myself.

But.

The matter of "Soul Society" cannot be exposed.

Sasuke followed his usual schedule, washed, turned off the lights, and closed the window.

After waiting for the Anbu to come for routine investigation and confirming that he had fallen asleep, he waited for another hour. Sasuke quietly climbed up from the tatami and grabbed his sword.

Since it has been confirmed that Konoha's surveillance has stopped here.

Then, I should also confirm the power of "Shikai".

Sasuke drew out the sword, and the standard shallow strike was in place.

He took a deep breath and whispered the name that had been hidden in his heart for a month.

"Open your eyes, Indra!"

The shallow strike in his hand changed its form, and the blade became shorter. It was a "ninja sword" standard. There was a light layer of messy blue decoration on the back of the blade, with a faint "breathing" light flickering.

Is this my sword?

Zanpakuto has different abilities, which can be roughly divided into elemental, kido, physical and biological.

This sword of mine should be classified as "kido".

It greatly enhances my chakra and Sharingan.

Sasuke walked to the bathroom, without turning on the light, and peeked at himself in the mirror with the light of the Zanpakuto.

His eyes were scarlet.

Originally, he only had a "single magatama" Sharingan, but under the amplification of the Zanpakuto, he had reached the level of "two magatama", and Sasuke could feel that his current strength was too weak and his body was too fragile to withstand more power.

Otherwise,

"Indra" could have a greater amplification for him.

Sasuke clenched his fists, excited inside, and let the tomoe in his eyes rotate.

Very good, let's do it this way.

When he can open the three magatama Sharingan without borrowing "Indra", he can open the "Mangekyo Sharingan" like Uchiha Itachi under the amplification of the Zanpakuto.

With a pair of eyes like that, he would definitely be able to kill that man.

Soul Society is a really good place.

He looked forward to the next time he went there.

However,

The three years in Soul Society seemed to be just a joke that the world had played by mistake.

In the next five years, Soul Society was like a dream and never appeared again.

Sasuke felt a little regretful.

He hadn't learned those powerful ghost arts yet.
