Chapter 172

Blasting out a large crater was a minor matter.

If things went poorly, he might even level someone's house to the ground.

And most importantly, the haunting incidents in the Hidden Stone Village had become more frequent recently.

It was only after a few ninja died that things quieted down for a while.

"Grandpa, why can't Itachi use Particle Style to help everyone clear out all the ghosts in the Hidden Stone Village?"

"Do Itachi know how big the Hidden Stone Village is! Itachi want me to clear out all the ghosts in the Hidden Stone Village.

Even if I exhausted all my chakra, I wouldn't be able to finish!"

Onoki said very unhappily; did he not want to solve all the ghosts in the Hidden Stone Village?

Almost all ninja villages had this situation, but the Hidden Rain Village was an exception!

After ghosts appeared in the Hidden Rain Village, they were immediately discovered by Itachi Uchiha!

The current Itachi Uchiha was not only the leader of the Akatsuki but also had new Sharingan.

Furthermore, he had practiced senjutsu energy!

And it was that senjutsu energy that allowed him to successfully see the ghosts.

He also discovered that senjutsu energy could cause damage to these ghosts.

Thus, Itachi Uchiha began to spread senjutsu within the Akatsuki.

He required everyone to go outside Mount Myoboku to learn it.

The reason it was outside was that he had come into contact with the inside once, and the frogs there wouldn't let them in.

They were even less willing to teach them how to absorb natural energy and learn senjutsu.

But they were all members of the Akatsuki, and they were all geniuses!

Senjutsu?

Previously, there was no channel to learn it, but now that there was, they naturally learned it with ease.

With senjutsu, they could also deal with that group of ghosts together.

Moreover, the current sphere of influence of the Hidden Rain Village was not large, so dealing with it wasn't considered tiring...

In the Hidden Leaf Village, Naruto and Sasuke were finally discharged from the hospital.

And although Sasuke's power had been reclaimed, his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan could still be used!

When ghosts appeared, Sasuke discovered that the Eternal Mangekyo could capture the phantoms of those ghosts!

And genjutsu could make those ghosts kill each other; this was also his way of solving the ghosts.

As one of the only three ninja in the Hidden Leaf Village who could solve the ghosts, Sasuke had been under immense pressure recently!

The other two were Naruto and Jiraiya.

Their Sage Mode could perfectly detect and eliminate ghosts.

But as more and more ninja died, the ghosts in the ninja world were becoming more and more numerous!

Relying on three people in the Hidden Leaf Village was simply not enough; they needed more ninja who could attack ghosts!

"Lord Shi Yuan, the ghost incidents outside are causing a huge uproar.

It seems the entire ninja world, except for our Hidden Mist Village, has been affected."

Kimimaro said outside the door, while Shi Yuan was still researching sealing jutsu.

He discovered that this guy, the Sage of Six Paths, might have really put all his talent into sealing jutsu.

He still had no clue about the sealing jutsu that sealed the Underworld.

And he had long since thoroughly researched the sealing jutsu on Karin.

"Is that so? In that case, let's go out and take a look."

Shi Yuan said helplessly; he decided to go out to relax and, by the way, pass on some new techniques to everyone.

After discovering those ghosts, he had studied spiritual power and reishi intensely.

Finally, he confirmed that natural energy and senjutsu could have a certain effect on them.

Creak...

The door to the laboratory was pushed open, and Shi Yuan slowly walked out from inside.

"Lord Shi Yuan!"

Kimimaro looked at the man before him in some surprise.

Was he finally coming out of seclusion?

"Accompany me for a walk, and by the way, see what these ghosts that are causing such an uproar in the ninja world are."

Shi Yuan nodded, then walked ahead on his own.

And Kimimaro hurriedly followed behind.

Soon, Shi Yuan and the others left the Hidden Rain Village and arrived outside.

"It looks no different from usual, doesn't it?"

Shi Yuan turned his head to look at Kimimaro; they had been away from the Hidden Mist Village for half a day, yet they hadn't seen the so-called ghosts.

"Could it be that they are afraid of Lord Shi Yuan, so they didn't appear?"

Kimimaro stated his conjecture with some uncertainty.

Itachi have to know, whenever he walked to this place normally, several strange things would happen.

If it weren't for his own strength being strong enough, he probably would have died inexplicably long ago, right?

And Shi Yuan, standing to the side, was stunned after hearing Kimimaro's words, and then, upon thinking about it, it seemed this was really possible!

After all, because he was in the Hidden Mist Village, the Hidden Mist Village had never had any abnormal situations.

So now that he had left the Hidden Mist Village, it was normal that there were no ghost attacks.

Either they could sense that he could send them away,

or the ghosts that had escaped earlier had told other ghosts about his deeds.

Otherwise, Shi Yuan really couldn't think of a second reason.

Thus, Shi Yuan and Kimimaro, wearing cloaks and hoods, continued to walk toward a small village not far away.

However, not long after they started walking, Shi Yuan discovered that there were gusts of eerie wind all around!

It was as if something unclean was watching them.

This feeling made Shi Yuan react instantly; weren't these the ghosts from before?

Unexpectedly, they were really nearby...

"It seems that there really are unclean things like ghosts."

Shi Yuan said with a smile, although he hadn't fully turned himself into a Soul Reaper yet.

However, the spiritual power in his body could still be restored after being consumed!

Thus, he didn't hesitate at all and directly condensed a Zanpakuto in his hand!

When the Shihakusho appeared on Shi Yuan, everything before his eyes became clear.

It was a ghost carrying a sword; seeing that ghost, Shi Yuan was stunned for a moment.

Ghosts could carry swords too?

Weren't they supposed to have nothing before?

What was this situation!

"Gaga, it looks like two strong guys.

If I kill Itachi, the resentment will probably allow me to become a bit stronger, right?!"

The ghost said with extreme excitement, and at the same time, a little bit of white keratin actually appeared on its face!

This shocked Shi Yuan even more.

This guy, is this a Hollow?

No, it had a weapon; could it be a Soul Reaper?

For a moment, Shi Yuan actually couldn't tell what the other party was.

And at this moment, the ghost rushed directly toward Shi Yuan.

"Whatever! Just kill it directly! Hahaha!"
