Original God, But It's a Chat Group

Despite awakening new power, Sasuke was still toyed with in Li Yue's palm. He did not even know when Li Yue had used an illusion on him. It reminded him of how Li Yue had effortlessly cut down the elite Root ninja before killing Shimura Danzō. If Li Yue wanted to kill him, could he do it just as easily?

"How is it? Do you know your Zanpakuto's ability now?"

Li Yue stood with his arms folded, looking at Indra in Sasuke's hand. Turning his own ancestor into a Zanpakuto—Li Yue, as someone who knew the truth, found it genuinely bizarre.

"Hmph! I already know my Zanpakuto's ability!"

Speaking of his Zanpakuto's power, Sasuke smiled confidently again. He raised Indra in his hand and pointed the Three Tomoe at the Tsuba toward Li Yue.

"Just as you said, Li Yue, ninja really are weak trash. The Sharingan has to evolve step by step before it reaches Three Tomoe, but my Indra only needs to be released to directly evolve into Three Tomoe!"

Well, well, well. The moment he gained new power, he immediately looked down on his old power. That was so Sasuke.

"Under the gaze of these Three Tomoe, no one's movements can escape my sight! Through Indra, I can see everything around me! And as long as someone makes eye contact with the Sharingan on my Tsuba, I can directly control them with Indra's illusion. Furthermore, any technique used before Indra will be recorded by it and become a technique I can use!"

Sasuke practically showed off as he told Li Yue all of Indra's abilities, his face practically screaming: So? Awesome, right?

"I see!"

Li Yue nodded. It was just as he had expected. When he saw the Three Tomoe on the Tsuba, he had guessed that Indra's Shikai ability might be the Three Tomoe Sharingan's abilities. And sure enough, that was exactly it.

Then its Bankai would most likely possess the Mangekyō Sharingan's abilities.

Amaterasu, Kagutsuchi, and Susanoo?

It looked similar to the original Mangekyō, but this came from a Zanpakuto rather than his eyes. In other words, he would not need to evolve into an Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan to use Susanoo whenever he wanted!

Wasn't that far better than the original Mangekyō Sharingan, which would blind him if he kept using it?

He just did not know whether it would gain Izanagi and Izanami later on.

"Alright, you can put your sword away now. It's currently in Shikai. You can either keep it released at all times or return it to its normal form and release it again when you need to fight."

Li Yue's Enma's Blade remained in Shikai at all times. As long as he drew it, he could cut through space whenever he wanted, because he found it troublesome to shout a command every time.

But Sasuke was different. The moment he heard Li Yue say he could release it when fighting, his eyes lit up!

Hmph, so every battle, he had to shout, "Open your eyes, Indra!" before his Reiatsu erupted and his Zanpakuto turned into its current form? What a hassle!

As he thought this, Sasuke had Indra cancel its Shikai, turning it into an ordinary Tachi with a black hilt and white blade. He sheathed it, the corners of his mouth unable to stop rising.

Three Tomoe. He had obtained the power of Three Tomoe too, and this was only its initial release!

"You called that Shikai. Shikai means beginning, right? So above that, there's an even stronger release?"

Though Sasuke was a bit of an idiot, he still possessed some instinct for combat. The moment he heard the term Shikai, he immediately realized there had to be a higher release.

"Although your strength is still trash, your brain is at least a little useful."

Li Yue's habitual mockery made Sasuke's eyelid twitch.

"That's right. Shikai is merely the most basic expression of power. What it reveals is not a Zanpakuto's true strength. Its true power lies in the Bankai that comes afterward!"

Li Yue had no intention of hiding it from Sasuke and directly told him about Bankai.

"After your Zanpakuto enters Shikai, your strength will rise by around five times. But once your Zanpakuto can achieve Bankai, your Reiatsu will rise to ten times what it was in Shikai! That is your true power!"

Li Yue's words deeply stirred Sasuke.

Though he had not attended much school, he still knew basic multiplication. Shikai increased his power fivefold, then Bankai multiplied that by another ten. That meant Bankai would make him fifty times stronger than he was now!

Knowing he could become that strong, Sasuke immediately grew excited.

"Tell me how to achieve Bankai!"

"That isn't up to me. It depends on your Reiatsu. Only when your Reiatsu meets the standard can you begin Bankai training, and right now, your Reiatsu doesn't qualify."

As Li Yue spoke, he unleashed Reiatsu at Kensei Muguruma's level. The overwhelming pressure forced Sasuke down onto one knee. Since he now possessed Reiatsu at the level of a Seated Officer, he no longer had to lie flat on the ground like before.

"Remember this pressure. When you can stand normally in front of me, you can learn Bankai."

Sasuke remained on one knee. Rather than feeling angry, he was incredibly excited.

"I see. Reiatsu. So this was the source of that pressure before? Powerful Reiatsu can directly make people unable to move! This power is amazing!"

"Hmph. As expected, ninja are weak trash!"

Li Yue: ...

"Hashirama, You Smell So Good!"

"Why do I still have to come to school? I'm not a ninja anymore. I'm a Bleach now!"

At the entrance to Konoha's school, Sasuke complained to Li Yue.

"I need to quickly strengthen my Reiatsu and reach the standard for Bankai, not play house with these ninja!"

Although Sasuke had gained power, he had not yet graduated, so Li Yue sent him back to school. Sasuke, however, felt there was no need to continue playing ninja games with this group of trash ninja. He was already a Bleach.

"Because there are many girls around your age, or not far from it, at school. They are your first choice for future women."

"Huh?"

"What do you mean, 'huh'? Don't forget the condition you promised me."

"I..."

Sasuke recalled saying that as long as he could gain power, he would do anything.

"Tch, fine! I'll go!"

"Very good. For the next while, keep staying at school. I don't care what you do there—whether you chase girls or show off, it makes no difference to me, because I'll be leaving for a while."

"What? You're leaving?"

Sasuke shouted at Li Yue in surprise, drawing curious looks from the passing students and parents. Or rather, they could not help but be curious. Ever since Sasuke and Li Yue appeared at the school gate, everyone had been watching them. This was no longer Second Pillar, but a noble member of the Otsutsuki clan, a descendant of Indra, the Ruler of the Ninja World, accompanied by an absurdly powerful butler who could suppress Konoha by himself. How could such a pair not attract attention?

"Of course. I have my own things to do. Did you expect me to keep following behind trash like you forever?"

Li Yue looked down at Sasuke from above.

"I already told you, didn't I? You've only initially grasped your power. The rest requires you to reach the necessary standard before it can improve further. While you work on strengthening yourself to meet that standard, I'll handle my own affairs."

"So you'll come back, right?"

Though they had only known each other for three days, and Sasuke had been called trash throughout those three days, he had unexpectedly accepted Li Yue in his heart. To him, Li Yue, Indra's butler, was part of his Uchiha clan... no, his Otsutsuki clan. Other than Uchiha Itachi, his enemy, Li Yue was the person closest to him. After being an orphan for five years, Sasuke had finally found a clansman, and he cherished that deeply.

"Of course I'll return. Otherwise, who do you think will keep watch over the descendants of the Indra Clan?"

Sasuke's mouth twitched. So making him produce descendants was even more important, was it?

"Alright, get lost inside. I'm leaving first."

In front of Sasuke and the crowd of onlookers, Li Yue drew Enma's Blade and slashed open a Portal in the air. He stepped through it, and the Portal closed and vanished behind him.

After watching Li Yue leave, Sasuke reined in his expression and put on a cold face before lifting his leg and walking into the Ninja Academy.

Though Li Yue had left, Sasuke was a man of his word. If he was told to attend school, then he would attend school!

Sasuke entered the school alone, immediately drawing the attention of every student. The direct descendant of Otsutsuki Indra had finally returned to school.

The Ninja Academy was no longer the original Ninja Academy, because Li Yue's Wood Style had blown up the original building. The current academy was a temporary school that Konoha had hastily constructed with Earth Style.

"Sasuke!"

The instant Sasuke entered, Naruto was the first to shout.

"You bastard!"

Before Naruto could finish, a pressure descended from above. Naruto was pressed onto one knee, unable to move.

"This is...!"

"Hmph! Idiot dead last!"

Sasuke looked at Naruto, who was immobilized under his Reiatsu, then raised his head toward the students watching him. The corners of his mouth rose uncontrollably. It was not just Naruto. Every student in the school who had been watching Sasuke felt their bodies grow heavy and dropped to one knee.

Seeing this, Sasuke could not help feeling delighted.

"Souls bound by flesh, I am no longer who I used to be. A thick barrier now exists between us, because I am no longer in the same dimension as you!"

"Hahahahaha!!!!"

Amid wild laughter, Uchiha... no, Otsutsuki Sasuke welcomed his peak moment!

At the same time, Li Yue, who had left, opened a door for the second time and arrived in the Pure Land.

"Godfather, did you find Senju Hashirama's soul?"

"Mm, I found it."

Aizen immediately tossed a bead to Li Yue, who caught it with one hand.

"This isn't the Hōgyoku, is it?"

"Of course not. I used the Hōgyoku to absorb the Sage of Six Paths' soul. This is a vessel for temporarily storing Senju Hashirama's soul."

"Do you remember Modified Souls?"

"Oh! So that's how it is!"

Li Yue understood. Modified Souls were artificially created souls meant to fight in place of Bleach. They could inhabit soulless bodies and battle in a Bleach's stead against Hollows. Unfortunately, they were failed products of Soul Society, and most had been destroyed. Normally, such Modified Souls were sealed inside beads the size of candy.

Now, Senju Hashirama's soul had likewise been sealed by Aizen inside this bead.

"Then can this thing be used like a Modified Soul?"

"That's right. If you find a body without a soul and place this inside it, Senju Hashirama's soul will awaken. The awakened Senju Hashirama will also be able to use his own powers."

Li Yue's eyes lit up when he heard that.

"Wait, then doesn't this count as resurrection for Senju Hashirama?"

"That is correct. However, the main body of his soul remains within this bead. Once the bead is expelled from the body, he will fall dormant again."

Aizen knew what Li Yue was thinking and gave him an affirmative answer.

Upon receiving confirmation, Li Yue immediately revealed a sinister smile.

"Hehehehe~~ That's enough. Originally, I only planned to preserve Senju Hashirama's soul and release it once our dear Madara resurrected. But now... this is going to be much more fun!"

A Modified Soul did not need its original body to use its power. It only needed a body that could move. It could even be placed inside a doll!

But how could Li Yue possibly put Hashirama into a doll? He was Malada's beloved Hashirama! Li Yue would definitely give Hashirama a body that Malada would find irresistibly alluring!

Originally, Li Yue had raised Sasuke to give Malada a surprise. Now, Hashirama could become a second surprise!

Hashirama, you smell so good!

Li Yue had already begun imagining Malada's expression at that time.

"Godfather, you should have the technology to create Gigai, right?"

"Sorry, but I haven't done much research into Gigai."

"I see... Tch!"

"..."

Watching Li Yue's disgusted expression, Aizen's mouth twitched slightly.

Although he had already understood what Li Yue wanted to do from his words and sinister smile, Gigai were unfortunately not Aizen's research direction. His research focused primarily on souls.

"But if I begin researching it, it won't take much time. It isn't particularly complicated technology."

"As expected of my godfather!"

Li Yue's eyes immediately shone.

"..."

Did he have to be this realistic?

Aizen could not help complaining inwardly.

"Since you've caught the Sage of Six Paths too, Godfather, there's nothing much for me to do here for now. Let's head back first."

The initial arrangements in the Naruto world had been completed. Sasuke had embarked on an entirely different power system, and the later plot had yet to begin. Li Yue could not remain in the Naruto world forever. He needed to return to Teyvat first, because Zhongli's funeral... no, the Rite of Descension was approaching.

"Mm, it's time to return. With the things obtained from Li Yue-kun's world earlier, along with the new materials acquired this time, I can research for a long time."

"So the plan is being delayed again?"

Li Yue could not help asking. Aizen had already delayed the plan to capture Rukia because of his research into Elemental Power and Durin's heart. Given the current situation, was he delaying it again? Would that kid Ichigo have to keep cutting down Hollows in Karakura Town?

"No. Delaying too long may alert Kisuke Urahara, so I plan to begin carrying out the plan one week from now."

"Then make sure to tell me when the time comes. I definitely want to go over and have some fun!"
