Chapter 177

"Oh? Something stronger? Itachi must be Hozuki Suigetsu, right?"

"Itachi guy, Itachi're Hozuki Suigetsu, right?"

A man's voice came from afar, and then a floating ghost stared fixedly at Hozuki Suigetsu.

However, Hozuki Suigetsu didn't recognize this ghost at all.

"Who are Itachi?"

Hozuki Suigetsu asked in confusion, then flashed in front of the opponent.

"Well, no matter who Itachi are, please go die now!"

Hozuki Suigetsu said very confidently, then swung his Zanpakuto directly at the ghost to kill him.

However, what Hozuki Suigetsu didn't expect was that the opponent actually grabbed his Zanpakuto with his hand!

"Itachi really are a noble who forgets things easily, but that's fair.

I am just a soul that died under your blade; there must be quite a few ninja like me who were killed by Itachi, right?

However, I am still a bit different; I am a very, very powerful vengeful spirit!"

The ghost became more excited as he spoke, his voice growing louder, and the surrounding ghosts retreated one after another upon seeing this.

And a white mask gradually appeared on the ghost's face.

Seeing that terrifying and hideous mask, Hozuki Suigetsu felt his hands and feet go cold, and he was stunned for a moment.

What on earth was this monster in front of him?

Was it really that scary just because it added a mask?

It even made him feel fear?

Was there some mistake? He was a Kage-level powerhouse, and what's more, he had a special Zanpakuto made by Lord Shi Yuan in his hand.

And Haku, not far away, was carefully observing the ghost.

The opponent also gave him a feeling of heart palpitations, which Haku found very strange.

These things hadn't even appeared for a month, had they?

And yet such a strong existence had already appeared?

It seemed he had to find a chance to pass this news back.

Surely Lord Shi Yuan would be very interested in these guys!

And while Haku was observing the opponent, Hozuki Suigetsu made his move!

Hozuki Suigetsu pulled hard and finally managed to pull his Zanpakuto back.

Then, holding the Zanpakuto, he slashed directly at the ghost.

"What, aren't Itachi going to ask for my name?

Or do Itachi think Itachi've got me in the bag this time too?"

The ghost said very unhappily, and then a blade actually appeared on his arm!

*Clang!*

The ghost directly blocked Hozuki Suigetsu's attack with the blade.

"But I won't let Itachi die without knowing who killed Itachi.

Remember this master's name! The one who will kill Itachi is Gui San!"

Gui San roared, and the name, which seemed incredibly simple, ordinary, and even somewhat abstract, directly reminded Hozuki Suigetsu of that man!

He had once killed a genin in the Land of Wind.

The original mission target was a special jonin with strength similar to a chunin.

As it turned out, after killing that jonin, a genin had overestimated his own abilities and came to cause trouble for him.

He hadn't wanted to kill the opponent at the time, just knock him down, but he kept getting back up again and again, saying his name was Gui San.

In the end, he lost his patience and just hacked the guy to death.

Could the Gui San in front of him be that child from back then?

"Oh? Looks like Itachi've remembered? Hahahaha, Itachi killed my master back then and almost killed me too!"

Gui San said excitedly; he seemed to see the scene of his revenge being fulfilled.

"I wasn't dead at the time, but I realized that it was impossible to catch up to Itachi in this lifetime.

However, all of this started a while ago; I was traveling and getting stronger when I discovered that people turn into ghosts after death.

And ghosts are naturally much stronger than ninja, and they can become stronger by devouring their peers, and the stronger their obsession, the stronger they become.

A ghost like me who desires your death so much is, of course, the strongest in the world!"

After Gui San finished speaking, he rushed directly toward Hozuki Suigetsu, using the blade on his hand to slash fiercely at Hozuki Suigetsu's neck.

Hozuki Suigetsu was stunned at the sight, then raised his right hand.

*Clang!* He blocked the opponent's attack directly.

"But if Itachi only have this level of speed and attack, Itachi won't be able to get your revenge."

Hozuki Suigetsu said with a smile; although the strength of the guy in front of him was very strong, even stronger than his own...

...his combat experience was not rich!

"Hehe, is that so? Then what about now?"

After saying that, Gui San kicked directly at Hozuki Suigetsu's abdomen.

Hozuki Suigetsu didn't even have a chance to react before he was kicked away.

Haku, on the side, instinctively wanted to go up and help, but a ghost over two meters tall blocked his path.

"That is a duel between Brother Gui San and him, Itachi shouldn't go over and interfere!"

The big ghost said in a muffled voice, which made Haku frown slightly.

The strength of this big guy in front of him was not at all weaker than the man who called himself Gui San just now.

It looked like this was going to be a fierce battle!

"I don't want to fight Itachi; Itachi are not weak, and fighting Itachi is a big disadvantage."

Seeing Haku's posture of wanting to make a move, the big ghost hurriedly waved his hands and said.

However, Haku wouldn't let this guy off just like that.

The more powerful these guys were, the more One-Tails' chakra they had absorbed in their bodies!

Watching Haku rushing toward him, the ghost hurried backward upon seeing this.

"Die!"

Haku brandished the Zanpakuto in his hand, and then a row of ice spikes flew directly toward the ghost.

"I already said I don't want to fight Itachi! Winning doesn't have any benefits and will just waste spiritual energy."

The big ghost said very unhappily, then easily dodged Haku's attack.

Immediately afterward, he looked at Haku before him with red eyes; this guy was really going too far!

"Do Itachi think that guy named Oni-san can beat Hozuki Suigetsu?

And then Itachi want to do a two-on-one?"

Haku said slowly, and his words directly made the big ghost freeze for a moment.

Clearly, Haku had guessed what the other party was thinking.

"Looks like I guessed right; I didn't expect Itachi to have this kind of wisdom."

Haku said, then arrived in front of the ghost with a Flash Step.

That's right, it was Flash Step!

After Shi Yuan handed out the Zanpakuto, he simultaneously taught everyone how to use Flash Step.

This more advanced movement method was much faster than the Body Flicker Jutsu.

Seeing Haku suddenly appear in front of him, the ghost was directly startled; he instinctively wanted to run away.

However, Haku's speed was not slow, and Haku had already prepared his attack when using Flash Step!

With a *puchi* sound, Haku's attack directly pierced the opponent's body, and immediately afterward, the ghost before him began to freeze from the wound.

Soon, the entire ghost turned into an ice sculpture.

*Crackle, crackle!*
