Naruto: Sasuke's return

[Chapter Size: 1800 Words.]

---------------------------------------

Sasori summoned a human puppet of the Third Kazekage. He stood behind the puppet, his chakra strings tied to its joints by his ten fingers. His center of gravity slightly sank, and he took a ready posture, preparing for battle.

Sasuke's Sharingan observed the puppet in front of Sasori, and suddenly, he realized: "There is chakra flowing within the puppet's body. Could it be that..."

Sasori soft words were full of pride: "The human puppet made of the Third Kazekage is my most satisfying feat yet. Don't worry, Uchiha Sasuke, once I kill you, I'll add you to my collection as well. With Orochimaru, that makes exactly 300 collections!"

Sasuke's voice was deep as he replied: "Then I'm afraid I won't allow you to fulfill your wish!"

"Alright, let's start the show!!"

Sasori pulled the chakra strings and formed hand seals in front of his chest!

"Click!"

The mouth of the Third Kazekage opened.

With a rustling sound, the embedded jutsu released iron sand, which surged through the air in waves!

Well-informed, Sasuke immediately understood: "Magnetic Release: Iron Sand! So that's how it is. This person's puppet can use his abilities even after death..."

Magnetic Release: Iron Sand Rain!

"Rustling, rustling!"

The iron sand in the air, like waves, quickly formed countless sharp needles that shot towards Sasuke at high speed!

In the face of the powerful magnetic iron sand attack, Sasuke couldn't block it with the Kusanagi Sword like he had done with the needles.

He sheathed the Kusanagi Sword and pulled his white cloak over his face. After forming a seal with two fingers, he made his arm spin the cloak rapidly!

Wind Style: Chaotic Mantle Technique!

"Whoosh!"

As the cloak spun, it combined with his wind chakra, generating a powerful absorbing air flow that sucked in all the flying needles into the cloak!

"You really master the art of ninjutsu…"

Seeing this, Sasori suddenly increased the frequency of the iron sand needles, while the speed at which Sasuke's cloak spun also accelerated. The powerful white cyclone even formed a vortex wind field in front of the cloak, absorbing even more iron sand!

But that was the limit.

"As more iron sand is absorbed, the weight of the cloak also increases. We need to strike immediately!"

To transform the defensive wind escape into a powerful attack, all that was needed was to add fuel to the fire!

Fire Style: Dance of the Gale!

"Boom!"

In the trajectory of the air flow, a lotus-shaped red flame suddenly appeared.

Sasori sighed: "You're truly a phantom..."

Magnetic Release: Iron Sand Wall!

"Boom!"

A large amount of iron sand formed a solid wall in front of the Third Kazekage, perfectly shielding him from the powerful wind and fire attacks!

Aware of the magnetic nature of the iron sand, Sasuke ripped off the white cloak, now covered in iron sand, and threw it directly into the river beneath the Bridge!

At that moment, the iron sand wall reformed and reorganized, turning into a terrifying triangular pyramid of iron sand, ready for use!

Sasuke's eyes were serious!

He knew that this was a real lethal weapon, one that couldn't be defended by conventional means.

"It's time to get serious..."

"Click!"

The three magatama in his eyes spun and transformed into a dazzling hexagram!

Sasori looked solemn: "Those eyes are truly shocking. You really have the same Mangekyō Sharingan as Itachi. And the Wood Release earlier, Orochimaru transplanted Hashirama's cells into you?"

"Well, seems like continuing to treat you like a brat will just embarrass me!"

Sasori suddenly gestured with his ten fingers!

Magnetic Release: Triangular Pyramid of Iron Sand!

"Boom!"

With magnetic guidance, dodging was useless, and Sasuke never considered dodging!

"Boom!"

The Susanoo exoskeleton rose up and took the direct impact of the triangular pyramid!

Sasori said: "This ability it's Susanoo? It seems it's not exclusive to Itachi..."

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Under Sasori manipulation, the triangular iron sand pyramid changed its position and angle, bombarding the Susanoo's exoskeleton repeatedly. Cracks began to appear in the bones, but it didn't collapse!

"..." Struck, Sasuke rolled his eyes, and when the triangular cone fired again, he met it with the Susanoo's bone fist!

"Boom!!"

In a head-on collision, the Susanoo's fist proved to be superior! The triangular pyramid shattered into free iron sand!

The Sasori gaze darkened: "Although I don't want to admit it, the defense of that Susanoo can't be broken by iron sand alone. But if his Susanoo is the same as Itachi's, then the area under his feet is the weak point, right?"

"Click!"

The free iron sand regrouped and transformed into iron sand cylinders!

Sacrificing piercing power to gain a shape with greater impact strength!

"Boom!"

The iron sand cylinder fell with a thundering crash!

Sasuke's eyes locked on: "The target wasn't the Susanoo, he missed, or..."

"Boom!"

The iron sand cylinder hit the bridge's deck with great force, and the bridge shook violently, with the bridge deck dented at the point of impact!

Sasori controlled the cylinder to fall again, and the already broken bridge no longer withstand the pressure and collapsed in the middle!

Sasuke and Sasori landed in the water!

"Crash!"

The iron sand cylinder emerged from underwater, dispersed into a free state, and reformed above the head of the Third Kazekage. Then, with Sasori seal, it transformed into an extremely powerful, piercing triangular pyramid!

What was even more terrifying, was that the triangular pyramid possessed a powerful rotational force. As you can imagine, the piercing force was even stronger.

"…" Sasuke observed everything in silence, and a large sword condensed in the hand of the Susanoo.

At this point, it was a fight to the death, no more words were needed!

Sasori took the lead!

Magnetic Style: Iron Sand Beyblade!

"Boom!"

The Susanoo raised its sword in response!

At that moment, a barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of Sasori mouth!

"Click!"

The separated iron sand rose from the water beneath Sasuke's feet and trapped his ankles. As Sadori pulled his arms, Sasuke was forcefully yanked out of the Susanoo!

"It's now!!!"

At the same time, the iron sand gyroscope, which was about to collide with the wide sword swung by Susanoo, suddenly deviated from its angle and shot directly towards Sasuke!

"No, Sasuke!!!"

Seeing Sasuke in danger, Kabuto immediately tried to rescue him, but Orochimaru held his shoulder in time!

"Don't worry, Sasuke's combat experience is beyond your imagination…"

But at the moment Sasuke was pulled out, the other hand of the Susanoo suddenly reached out and grabbed Sasuke from the outside!

At the same time, the sword of the Susanoo unexpectedly swung, and with a loud crash, it shattered the top of the iron sand!

"He really saw through me."

The Sasori expression darkened.

Yes, the bridge was deliberately destroyed, and the battlefield was changed to the water. But the volume of the cylinder subtly changed before and after it fell into the water, which didn't escape the perception of Sasuke's Sharingan. He had used the iron sand gyroscope to draw attention to the front while secretly using the separated iron sand to launch a sneak attack beneath the Susanoo. It seemed like a perfect killing move, but it was thwarted by Sasuke's keen combat awareness!

"Rustle, rustle, rustle!"

The Susanoo once again shielded Sasuke inside!

Orochimaru's eyes were deep: "It's not about experience. Sasori has many puppet mechanisms, and it's still difficult to defend against them..."

The corner of Sasori mouth curled up: "But the next move is the real deadly one..."

Magnetic Release: Black Iron Wings!

The iron sand transformed into a pair of wings behind the Third Kazekage. Sasori ten fingers danced, and the Third Kazekage flew close to the water's surface. Stretching his left palm through the air, thousands of mechanical arms emerged from the talisman on his left arm and began crushing toward Sasuke like a torrent!

Sasuke furrowed his brows and swung the Susanoo's sword to cut through the approaching arms, but the sheer number of arms was overwhelming, and the sword couldn't defend against them all. The arm that broke off became entangled in the exoskeleton of the Susanoo!

The Sasori true intentions were exposed: "The Susanoo isn't airtight, so you can't defend against this puppet mechanism!!"

"Whoosh!"

The mechanical hands surrounding the Susanoo exhaled poisonous smoke!

The toxic mist seeped through the cracks in the exoskeleton.

Although Sasuke held his breath at first, he inevitably inhaled some!

"Click!"

After using brute force to break free from the arm, Susanoo swung its wide sword, using the wind from its blade to disperse the poisonous mist.

But the poisoning reaction was immediate, accompanied by intense pain throughout his body and paralysis of the central nervous system.

Sasuke crouched in the water, and the Susanoo began to fail!

"It's hard to protect against his puppet mechanism. Did he fall for it?"

Two figures were caught in the battle for survival.

Kabuto Yakushi: "The scorpion's poison is too potent, I'm afraid it's dangerous!"

Orochimaru: "The physique of Hashirama Senju is resistant to toxins, but Sasuke's current transformation into Hashirama Senju isn't immune to toxins. So in this desperate situation, accelerating the absorption of the Cursed Seal is his only way to survive!"

In the water, Sasori coldly announced: "You're in so much pain you can barely stand? Don't worry, your life is on a countdown. Even if I don't take any action, you'll die from the poison in three hours. However, I won't let you die so easily!"

In front of Sasori, above the head of the Third Kazekage, the iron sand gathered and transformed into sharp needles that shot outward!

Magnetic Release: Iron Sand Rain!

Sasuke gritted his teeth, dragging his paralyzed body and dodging in a very clumsy manner, using the Sharingan, which had retracted three magatama, to avoid vital points as much as possible!

The wounds on his body continued to grow, and blood soaked the water beneath his feet!

Sasori seemed to be admiring a dying insect and said mockingly: "He's really tenacious…"

What Sasori didn't notice was that the nearly imperceptible white cursed seals on Sasuke's pale skin were quickly disappearing. They weren't vanishing, they were being absorbed!

As the transformation into Hashirama Senju accelerated, Sasuke gradually felt the poisoning reaction begin to subside!

Sasori spoke in a deep voice: "If I remember correctly, your goal is to take revenge on Uchiha Itachi, right? You must be reluctant to die by my hands, right? But this is reality, bow to fate!"

He began forming cruel hand seals!

Magnetic Release: Iron Sand World Method!

Sasuke slowly raised his dark eyes, the Mangekyō Sharingan appeared again!

"No, it's not revenge. Besides, I'll never bow to fate!"

In his murmured words, there was no youthful passion, only the vicissitudes of life!

"Boom!"

Sasuke clasped his hands in front of his chest!
