Chapter 350: Ghosts Unable to Enter the Netherworld

Sasuke couldn't train with multiple shadow clones like Naruto, but he could cultivate his Sharingan while lying in bed!

As long as he kept his Sharingan active and used it continuously, squeezing his ocular power and chakra dry again and again.

This way, both his ocular power and chakra would grow!

In Konoha, not just Naruto and Sasuke were striving.

Might Guy was diligently undergoing rehabilitation training, despite having used the Eight Gates.

But with Tsunade's full assistance, his life was saved.

Even Tsunade herself was researching a completely new medical technique: replacing Might Guy's leg!

After being sent back to Konoha "170" by Uchiha Itachi, Kakashi also began rigorous training in his sword techniques.

"Obito, I will bring you back to Konoha!"

Ssssh!

Three shuriken flew straight out from Kakashi's hand, then he instantly used the Body Flicker Technique to appear at the exact spot where the shuriken would land.

Ting! Ting! Ting!

Bam!

Kakashi knocked down all three shuriken with his short sword, then drew a long blade with his left hand and slashed fiercely.

Instantly, the large tree before him was split cleanly in two.

"Not fast enough. Need to go faster!"

Kakashi muttered, dissatisfied—he needed his speed to surpass the Sharingan's dynamic perception.

Only then could he increase his chances of victory in his next battle against Uchiha Obito.

Moreover, he was researching a new jutsu—he needed a more powerful technique to break through his opponent's Susanoo.

"Finally recovered. Go find Black Zetsu—he shouldn't be with Akatsuki anymore, right?"

A week had passed, and Uchiha Obito's injuries had healed.

He clenched his fist and decided to find Black Zetsu, to have him help locate more powerful subordinates.

"Shinra Tensei!"

"Even if everyone else stirs up their determination, it's useless—I'll become the Death God soon.

When that happens, my power will tower over all others—what will you do then?"

The Six Paths Sage watched everything unfolding in the ninja world from his palace.

Though he worried about Shi Yuan breaking the seal and entering the Netherworld, a new trouble was about to emerge in the ninja world.

After he sealed the Netherworld, the souls of the dead had nowhere to go—restless, vengeful ghosts.

The Six Paths Sage stroked his beard and laughed heartily.

He believed these lonely spirits would surely trouble Shi Yuan.

After all, they had all been subtly influenced by him!

"Alright, I've fully understood medical ninjutsu—and even learned a new sage art."

A sacred golden light glowed from Shi Yuan's right hand—a healing sage art he developed through studying medical ninjutsu.

Light Healing Technique: as long as the target isn't dead, they can almost certainly be saved.

With this Light Healing Technique, Shi Yuan dared to experiment on Karin.

"Then, tomorrow I'll just call Karin over."

"Ji ji ji ji—was it you who kept us from leaving here?"

"Ga ga ga ga—what a hateful creature! But soon you'll be just like us!"

"I'll make you feel exactly what we've felt!"

Hearing the sudden voice, Shi Yuan froze, stunned for a moment, then looked around.

But he found nothing—was this a haunting?

Unlikely… ghosts…

Suddenly, Shi Yuan remembered: this was the ninja world—ninja, chakra, Death God, Netherworld…

A little ghost activity doesn't seem so strange after all.

Wait—Death God!

Shi Yuan realized the best way to deal with ghosts: Shinigami Transformation!

"Appear! My Zanpakuto!"

Shi Yuan opened his right hand and spoke slowly—then a slender black blade materialized in his grip.

Immediately after, he donned the Shinigami's Shihakushō.

The next instant, he saw over a dozen ghosts materialize before him.

"Who are you?"

Shi Yuan demanded outright, and the ghosts, faces twisted in rage, charged at him.

"Huh? You're not afraid of death?"

Shi Yuan swung his blade straight at one ghost.

The blade struck the ghost's body!

The other ghosts froze in shock.

They had never before seen anyone who could see them—and strike them!

"What nonsense! How can a weapon like that even hit us?"

"This guy is different from all other ninja!"

"No wonder we can't reach the Netherworld—he's not just cursed, he's actually powerful!"

"Run! Shout for more people! As long as we kill this fellow, we can leave here!"
