Naruto Taught By Aizen - Chapter 290

“Sasuke, a descendant of the Uchiha clan and a former Leaf Village ninja, awakened Reiatsu after abandoning his identity as a Leaf Village ninja and an Uchiha. He is also one of the hopeful figures in the Ninja Alliance.

Sasuke has always maintained a neutral stance, and his strength is the only one that could possibly rival Naruto’s.

Now, as the war is reaching its conclusion, he has appeared.

The outcome of the battle in the Seireitei is already decided, so there’s no need for Sasuke to appear if he wants to help the Seireitei.

In other words, he may have come to stop the Seireitei! Thinking of this possibility, the entire Ninja Alliance is filled with unusual hope.

“So this is me in this world…” The still-present Sasuke Uchiha looks somewhat bewildered as he gazes at Sasuke approaching from the distance.

Sasuke’s every step appears ordinary, yet it gives off an elegant feeling.

Uchiha Sasuke notices the lightning swirling around Sasuke’s feet, and he realizes that there are no footprints where Sasuke has walked.

“What kind of terrifying power control is this?” Uchiha Sasuke looks astonished.

What surprises him even more is the white cloth wrapped around Sasuke’s eyes. Even when covered, it seems as though they can feel a sharp gaze.

“This Sasuke seems quite extraordinary.” Even Naruto, who is nearby, comments.

“Sasuke!!” The eyes of Itachi, a member of the Ninja Alliance, are filled with longing.

“So, is this the reason you abandoned the Sharingan?” As he looks at the enigmatic Sasuke, Itachi’s heart is filled with bitterness.

He had once thought too highly of the potential of the Uchiha.

It was only after Naruto easily defeated Uchiha Madara that Itachi realized that the Sharingan, and even the Rinnegan, were not as powerful as he had believed.

“Sasuke!! Everything depends on you now. The fate of the ninja world is entrusted to you. Let me see a power that surpasses the Sharingan.” Tsunade, relieved to see Sasuke’s presence, mutters to herself.

“Sasuke, I never thought I would see you again, to see you as you are now, it’s really something.” Jiraiya, with a nostalgic smile, says, “I always believed you were the Child of Prophecy.”

Sasuke walks slowly, passing through the sandstorm, and wherever he goes, the members of the Ninja Alliance and the Seireitei unconsciously make way for him.

His footsteps are neither fast nor slow, and his aura is calm.

At first glance, he seems like someone without any power.

“Naruto.” Soon, Sasuke approaches within a hundred meters of Naruto. He looks disinterestedly at the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki Uchiha Madara and speaks in a cold voice.

“You gathered the tailed beasts, and the purpose of creating the Seireitei is to transform the ninja world into a pure land, right?”

His question causes a commotion throughout the alliances.

It’s well-known that the biggest difference between Shinigamis and ninja is that Shinigamis are souls, while ninjas are humans.

Essentially, when a ninja dies, there’s a chance they can become a Shinigami.

But once you become a Shinigami, you can never return to being human.

If what Sasuke said is true, then is Naruto’s goal to turn all living people into the dead? What’s the difference from destroying the ninja world?!

“So it’s been imagined to this extent.” The Shinigamis who know the truth exchange glances and twitch their mouths.

However, Naruto doesn’t offer any explanation.

To be precise, given his personality, he doesn’t care to explain.

He looks up at Sasuke with determination and says coldly, “Want to know the answer? Then show me your potential.”

For Naruto, Sasuke is undoubtedly his most anticipated creation.

“Is that so? Then as you wish.” Sasuke mutters softly. In the next moment, he bursts into blinding lightning.

A loud rumble fills the sky as thunderclouds gather, and the earth trembles. The seemingly calm Sasuke has transformed in an instant.

Lightning crackles beneath his feet, and the ground is covered in a web of cracks.

This level of Reiatsu has already surpassed all the Shingami in their initial Bankai forms, except for Naruto.

“Hmm? Not bad at all. To achieve this level of power within a year of awakening your Reiatsu, it’s no wonder Lord Naruto is interested in you,” Tsuyukusa comments with a hint of annoyance.

Unlike other Shinigamis, Sasuke doesn’t have a Zanpakuto. Even though he awakened Reiatsu, he chose a different path.

Therefore, Sasuke’s unpredictability is even greater.

After deepening his spiritual state of mind, Sasuke’s potential has been elevated to the maximum.

Now, he has the capital to make Naruto take him seriously.

Despite the previous battles with Uchiha Madara, as well as the collaboration between Naruto and Sasuke, Naruto didn’t feel the exhilaration he’s feeling now. Sasuke’s appearance stirs his blood.

“Is this me in this world? He gave up the power of the ninja, didn’t follow the path of the Shinigamis, and instead walked a new path.” Uchiha Sasuke’s eyes are filled with shock. For some reason, he firmly believes that this Sasuke gave up not only the Uchiha but also the Uchiha’s eyes.

This is something he had never considered.

Even now, with the powers of the Sage of the Six Paths, he’s still evolving in the realm of Sharingan, obtaining the Rinnegan.

But Sasuke completely abandoned the initially strong path and embraced the unknown.

Such courage and determination are something he might never have in his lifetime.

Perhaps this is the gap.

In front of Sasuke, Uchiha Sasuke suddenly feels a hint of self-doubt.

But he quickly dispels it himself.

Proud Uchiha will surely shine even brighter; it’s just not the time yet.

Looking at the completely different Sasuke, the emotions among the people from Konoha are undoubtedly complex.

Although Sasuke left Konoha, he was never officially declared a traitor.

“Sasuke, you must bring Naruto back.” Sakura clenches her fists, still holding onto unrealistic fantasies.

“Sasuke? Such strong Reiatsu, I seem to have understood something.” Hinata Hyuga, a member of the Leaf Village Alliance, ponders deeply, and her eyes convey a refreshing sensation.

It seems that the time for her eyes to awaken completely has arrived.

“Sister.” Hanabi tugs at Hinata’s sleeve and points to her own eyes. “It feels cool here.”

“It looks like you’re awakening too.” Hinata smiles and pats Hanabi’s head.

With Sasuke’s appearance, the battle comes to a standstill, and all eyes are on him. The Ninja Alliance sees Sasuke as their savior.

However, only Sasuke himself knows that he still has a long way to go before he can catch up to Naruto.

He stares solemnly at Naruto. Even though he unleashed some of his Reiatsu earlier, it couldn’t even affect the area around Naruto.

Naruto has been practicing Reiatsu for far too long. If Sasuke could surpass him directly within a year, it would be unfair.

But that doesn’t mean he should give up.

Some things just have to be done.

And must be done!

“Naruto!” Sasuke slowly removes the white cloth covering his eyes, revealing a pair of clear eyes with what seems like galaxies within.

“I will challenge you on behalf of humanity, for the sake of the human world.” With these words, an indescribable Reiatsu erupts from Sasuke, spreading out like a tsunami in all directions.”

“Earth Release. Earth Flow Wall.”

“Severance.” Enduring the strong individuals from the Ninja Alliance and Seireitei quickly used defensive ninjutsu and Kid?, helping the small fry withstand the shockwaves caused by the Reiatsu.

Looking from afar, the entire area was engulfed in a tsunami-like sandstorm that spread in all directions.

“Tsk tsk tsk, incredible, this is the Reiatsu level of Bankai.” Suigetsu couldn’t help but shake his head in amazement. “How did he make such progress?”

“He’s not a Shinigami; it might be related to that,” Haku joined the conversation.

“Perhaps, but they say Sasuke still has a human body. Humans with Reiatsu are quite interesting.”

“Now that he’s abandoned ninjutsu and chakra, what kind of attack does he have left?”

“Kid??”

“Kid? is too limited in a battle of this level.”

“We don’t know; let’s wait and see. This level of power still isn’t enough to make Naruto take it seriously.”

Clearly, the top experts of the Seireitei didn’t have high expectations for Sasuke.

To know that Naruto’s Shikai’s strength was already on par with their Bankai, if not surpassing it, not to mention that Naruto had mastered Bankai.

“Representing humanity? Then come, let me see your caliber.” Naruto slowly walked towards Sasuke, and with every step, it felt like a mountain was pressing down on Sasuke.

“Gurong.” Sasuke struggled to swallow his saliva.

Before coming here, his absolute intuition told him that in this battle, he was not a match.

But he came anyway.

Feeling Naruto’s immense Reiatsu, Sasuke’s breathing became rapid, and his blood boiled.

“Naruto, I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time.” He said word by word and then disappeared from everyone’s sight.

In the blink of an eye, he had appeared in front of Naruto, and his fist struck out.

This punch broke the sound barrier, and the deafening sonic boom echoed in the battlefield. The solid ground below even showed traces of being crushed due to this punch, and debris swept towards Naruto with unimaginable force.

“This level of physical strength is truly surprising.” Naruto raised his hand and caught the incoming fist.

“Hiss, hiss, hiss.” Due to the tremendous force, his body uncontrollably retreated more than ten meters.

In Naruto’s somewhat surprised eyes, Sasuke twisted his waist and abdomen, and his right leg whipped at Naruto’s chin like a venomous snake.

Naruto blocked with both hands, but due to the immense force, his body was once again sent flying dozens of meters, leaving a trail on the ground before coming to a stop.

“This speed and strength are on par with Might Guy when he opens the Eight Gates,” he looked at Sasuke with appreciative eyes.

“But it’s not enough.” With those words, Naruto’s body left a long trajectory as he appeared in front of Sasuke in the blink of an eye and punched him in the abdomen.

“Gurp.” Sasuke’s eyes widened, and his body contorted at an odd angle. As he leaned back, his right leg rose and kicked towards Naruto’s chin.

Naruto slightly tilted his head, and the kick almost grazed his chin, creating a painful gust of wind.

“Swish.” Naruto’s right leg burst out, directly sending Sasuke flying a hundred meters away.

“Hmm? He’s been disarmed,” at the moment of kicking Sasuke, Naruto sensed that something was amiss.

Sasuke’s body muscles had undergone subtle adjustments in an instant, diverting most of the force entirely to the ground, or functioning as the force propelling him backward.

So, despite being kicked a hundred meters away, he had suffered no real damage.

“Ka.” Sasuke’s right foot kicked the ground violently, leaving a distinct footprint, and he closed the distance to Naruto even faster, leaving behind a long, thunderous afterimage.

“Electric Ring.” Endless lightning covered the area, emitting a piercing screech of a thousand birds. It gathered in Sasuke’s right hand.

“Another application of Chidori? Increasing the sharpness of the right hand exponentially, not a bad ability, but it’s useless as long as the wrist is grabbed,” Naruto muttered to himself and easily captured Sasuke’s right hand.

“Is that so? Don’t underestimate any ability.” Sasuke sneered, and in an instant, a similar lightning radiance ignited in his left hand, swinging fiercely towards Naruto’s face.

“Whoosh.” Several bright blonde strands of hair were severed and fell to the ground, and Naruto’s eyes suddenly became fierce.

“Well done.” Naruto’s left hand erupted in a fierce fireball, directly pushing Sasuke a hundred meters away. Then the fireball exploded with a deafening noise, completely enveloping an area of at least a thousand square meters in a sea of flames.

Naruto didn’t expect himself to be so careless.

In battle, such carelessness could cost him his life.

This was an error that was absolutely unacceptable.

“Boom.” Amidst the flames, a swirling lightning appeared, and then a glaring white light broke through. Sasuke charged out of the sea of fire, with not a single hair harmed. “Kirin!” he roared, and above the sky, a rolling thundercloud gathered, countless lightning bolts raining down relentlessly on the area where Naruto was.

“Severance.” The massive glass wall easily withstood the barrage of lightning.

“Naruto!” Sasuke roared, and his fist struck at Severance. To everyone’s astonishment, a fist mark appeared on Severance that not even Kirin could harm, followed by a spiderweb pattern spreading before shattering.

Fragments fell, and Sasuke’s determined gaze burned hot.

“Naruto, answer me, what is the purpose of the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki you’re creating in the Seireitei?”

“Purpose?” Naruto’s mouth curled slightly, showing a disdainful smile. “Why should I tell you?”

Sasuke understood clearly that Naruto’s inner self was extremely arrogant, so even if he was misunderstood, he disdained explaining himself.

Sasuke believed that Naruto’s plan definitely didn’t involve transforming humans into Shinigamis entirely.

“In that case, I’ll fight you until you speak.” He clenched his fists, saying coldly.

“Fine, I look forward to it.”

For Naruto, the current battle was just a warm-up.

“Boom, boom, boom.” The two tangled together with their bare bodies, fist against flesh, each punch causing the earth to shake, the resounding noise echoing continuously.

The shockwaves from each punch caused the allied forces in the vicinity to retreat a kilometer away.

The thunderclouds in the sky remained, but they seemed to be experiencing painful fluctuations due to the shockwaves of their every punch, ready to collapse at any moment.

The speed and strength of the two were increasing, already becoming afterimages in the eyes of others.

“This level of power, this speed, is this the me after I abandoned the Uchiha?” Sasuke’s eyes widened in astonishment, and a fiery feeling surged in his heart.
