Chapter 377: Changes Across the Entire Ninja World

Wind, wind, wind!

A terrifying gust of wind sent the sand and soil around flying.

Byakuya placed both hands before himself to block that fierce wind.

When the sand and dust cleared, Zabuza Momochi was seen entirely enveloped in a black-and-white shihakusho.

And the aura on his body had become far more mature, steady, and terrifying than before!

Even Byakuya felt waves of pressure; is this shihakusho really that powerful?

"Hey, Byakuya, let's have a fight!"

The boost in power made Zabuza Momochi extremely arrogant, even appearing somewhat irrational.

"Do you intend to waste chakra here?"

Byakuya spoke with extreme calmness, "One-eight-zero," which made Zabuza Momochi pause for a moment before immediately realizing what was happening.

"Hahaha, true, this power is truly astonishing."

It feels like an improvement on the level of the soul."

Zabuza Momochi laughed heartily, then dispelled the shihakusho.

Sure enough, the chakra from all the zanpakuto returned to his body.

"How is it? How much chakra was lost?"

"No loss at all; it even replenished a bit of the vanished chakra!"

Zabuza Momochi said with great excitement; he hadn't expected the shihakusho to have such an effect.

He then poured chakra into the zanpakuto again, condensing the shihakusho once more.

Seeing this, Byakuya immediately understood; he wanted to try this method to see if he could recover chakra, right?

However, when Zabuza Momochi dispelled the shihakusho, his expression immediately fell.

"It can't recover anymore?"

"Yes, it seems there was some energy around just now that the shihakusho absorbed."

That's why it recovered extra chakra, I suppose; now that energy is gone."

Afterwards, Zabuza Momochi and Byakuya continued moving deeper.

However, they did not encounter the more powerful ghosts the previous ghost had mentioned.

This left Zabuza Momochi, who wanted to show off, feeling quite helpless.

"Are there no stronger ghosts?"

Zabuza Momochi howled again, but this time no one, no ghost, paid him any attention.

However, in reality, after Shi Yuan tore open the ghost realm created by the ghosts,

all the powerful ghosts sensed something; they felt a human with an incredibly terrifying aura and exceptionally powerful strength.

Yes, a human; in their perception, that guy was a human!

Immediately, they all hid, fearing the other party had come to trouble them.

And then, they saw Zabuza Momochi using the shihakusho.

Instantly, this group of ghosts became even more subdued, hiding in the shadows and daring not to come out.

"Hehe, that guy is still clamoring; he must be trying to trick us all out, then kill us!"

"I agree with you, but how long do we have to hide like this?"

"I don't know, but hiding is better than dying; let's just keep hiding!"

A group of ghosts discussed over there; they all wanted to go out and continue absorbing the One-Tail's chakra.

After all, that chakra could make them stronger and grant them new abilities.

But now, with Zabuza Momochi and Byakuya waiting over there, they dared not go out to absorb it.

At the same time, after two ghost assassination attempts, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire flew into a rage.

He directly ordered the Hidden Leaf Village to clean up all the ghosts in the Land of Fire at all costs!

Otherwise, all funding for the Hidden Leaf Village would be cancelled.

This directly made all personnel in the Hidden Leaf Village panic; they had just barely recovered the village's economy...

It looked like things would get better and better under Tsunade's leadership.

But now they were about to have their funding cut; if that happened, the Hidden Leaf Village would probably regress by ten years!

So, Tsunade directly ordered all ninjas of the Hidden Leaf Village to mobilize and find the ghosts in the Land of Fire and kill them all!

Furthermore, Tsunade also purchased many zanpakuto crafted by Shi Yuan to distribute among the numerous ninjas for use.

However, only a small portion could ever use them, and those ninjas didn't know sword techniques or body techniques!

This gave Tsunade a huge headache; there were simply too many ghosts, yet they had too few personnel.

Tsunade even had ordinary villagers try holding the zanpakuto to see if a miracle could occur.

However, she actually won the gamble; quite a few ordinary villagers who obtained zanpakuto gained unique powers!

This made Tsunade's eyes light up instantly; it turned out one didn't necessarily have to be a ninja to use a zanpakuto.

Even ordinary people had a chance, so Tsunade spread this news.

In this way, those ordinary people seeking self-preservation would buy zanpakuto.

And for every additional person able to use a zanpakuto, the number of ghosts would surely decrease significantly!

In an instant, the entire ninja world was swept up in a craze for slaughtering ghosts with zanpakuto!

"What? I can't use it, even though I can clearly see those ghosts."

On the training ground, Naruto pouted and said with great displeasure.

Although he could use Sage Art, using natural energy to slay those ghosts and send them to the Underworld.

But he still wanted to try those Soul Reapers that looked domineering and cool.

However, he could not use them....
