Chapter 359: Have the Ghosts Become Stronger

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

Although Sasuke's power had been sealed away, he could still use his Eternal Mangekyō!

Since the ghosts appeared, Sasuke discovered that his Eternal Mangekyō could capture the faint shadows of those ghosts!

Furthermore, his genjutsu could make that group of ghosts turn on and kill each other; this was his method for dealing with the ghosts.

As one of only three ninjas in Konoha Village capable of resolving the ghost incidents, Sasuke was under immense pressure recently!

The other two were Naruto and Jiraiya.

Their Sage Mode allowed them to perfectly detect and eliminate the ghosts.

But, as more and more ninjas died, the number of ghosts in the ninja world grew as well!

Relying on just three people in Konoha Village was simply not enough; they needed more ninjas capable of attacking ghosts!

"Lord Ishihara, the ghost incidents outside are causing quite a stir."

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

Kimimaro spoke from outside the door, while Ishihara continued to study sealing techniques.

He discovered that the Sage of Six Paths might have truly invested all his talent into sealing techniques.

Regarding the sealing technique that sealed away the Underworld, he still had not the slightest clue up to now.

As for the sealing technique on Karin's body, he had long since thoroughly researched it.

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

Ishihara said with great helplessness; he decided to go out to clear his mind and, incidentally, teach everyone some new techniques.

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

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

Creak...

The laboratory door was pushed open, and Ishihara slowly walked out from inside.

"Lord Ishihara!"

Kimimaro looked at the man before him with some surprise.

Was he finally coming out of seclusion?

"Accompany me to clear my mind, and let's see what kind of thing these ghosts are that are causing such a stir in the ninja world."

Ishihara nodded, then walked ahead on his own.

Kimimaro hurriedly followed behind.

Soon, Ishihara and the others left Amegakure Village and arrived outside.

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

Ishihara turned back to look at Kimimaro; they had left Kirigakure Village half a day ago, yet they still hadn't seen the so-called ghosts.

"Could it be that they are more afraid of Lord Ishihara, so they haven't appeared?"

Kimimaro stated his speculation with some uncertainty.

He knew that whenever he usually walked to this place, several strange incidents would occur.

If his strength hadn't been strong enough, he would probably have died inexplicably long ago, right?

Meanwhile, Ishihara, standing nearby, was stunned upon hearing Kimimaro's words, then thought for a moment; it seemed there really was this possibility!

After all, since he was in Kirigakure Village, no abnormal incidents had occurred in Kirigakure Village.

So now that he had left Kirigakure Village, it was quite normal that no ghosts attacked.

Either they could sense that he could send them away.

Or perhaps the ghosts that escaped earlier told the other ghosts about his deeds.

Otherwise, Ishihara truly could not think of a second reason.

Thus, Ishihara and Kimimaro put on cloaks and wore hoods, then continued walking toward a small village not far away.

However, not long after they started walking, Ishihara noticed a chilling wind blowing all around!

It felt as if something unclean was watching them.

This sensation made Ishihara realize instantly; weren't these the ghosts from before?

Who would have thought they were really nearby...

"It seems there really are such unclean things as ghosts."

Ishihara said with a smile, although he had not yet fully transformed into a Soul Reaper.

However, the spiritual energy within his body could still recover after being consumed!

Thus, without the slightest hesitation, he directly condensed a Zanpakutō in his hand!

When the Shihakushō appeared on Ishihara's body, everything before his eyes became clear.

It was a ghost holding a sword; upon seeing that ghost, Ishihara was stunned.

Ghosts can still hold swords?

Didn't they have nothing before?

What is going on!

"Gagaga, it looks like two strong guys."

"If we kill you, that resentment will probably allow me to become a bit stronger, right?!"

That ghost said with extreme excitement, and at the same time, a small patch of white keratin actually appeared on his face!

This made Ishihara even more shocked.

This guy, is he a Hollow?

No, he is holding a weapon; could he be a Soul Reaper?

For a moment, Shi Yuan could not quite tell what sort of thing the other was.

At that moment, the ghost spirit charged straight at Shi Yuan. 1.1

"Who cares! Just kill it directly! Hahaha!"
