Chapter 398

"What! How is this possible..."

Jiraiya cried out in shock, causing Naruto, who had been unconscious and on the verge of his willpower shattering, to open his eyes wide and look.

However, everything before his eyes was blurred; he could not see what exactly was happening.

And within Naruto's body, Kurama trembled in fear.

Even in his prime, encountering a powerhouse of this level would make him afraid, let alone now when he is a very, very small juvenile form.

And the powerhouse before him had once again become stronger by countless times!

Catching a Cero bare-handed was no less terrifying to Jiraiya than catching a Tailed Beast Ball bare-handed.

And immediately after, Ishihara applied a slight force with his right hand.

With a 'puff', the Cero was directly crushed by him!

Seeing this scene, Jiraiya involuntarily swallowed his saliva, then prepared to take Naruto and leave this place quickly.

Meanwhile, the Demon King looked at Ishihara before him, his eyebrows merely furrowing.

Of course, since he wore a mask, no one could tell if his eyebrows were furrowing.

"It seems this fellow before me is simply not someone I can defeat at my current level.

In that case, I must find a way to escape from here quickly!"

The Demon King muttered quietly; he was not that kind of hot-blooded fool.

Since he had appeared after such difficulty, he absolutely could not die so easily!

So, the Demon King, without a second thought, turned around and ran directly.

Seeing this, Ishihara smiled; how could a cooked duck possibly fly away from him?

Ishihara was seen using Shunpo to appear before the opponent, then smilingly spoke:

"Come with me and leave this place; do not make me angry."

"Bastard! You want to take me away? You want to study me? Just because of you! Even if I die, I will not let you succeed!"

The Demon King cursed loudly; at this moment, Ishihara finally guessed the cause and effect.

It was likely that the ghost he had been studying earlier had transmitted the message to this Demon King in some way he did not know?

In that case, it was even more impossible to let him leave; he happened to have many questions he wanted to ask this fellow!

So, Ishihara directly formed hand seals with both hands, while constantly chanting in his mouth:

"Flesh and blood mask, Ten Thousand Phenomena, Fluttering Wings, He who wears the name of man!

Thunderous carriage, the gap of the spinning wheel, this thing has light gathering and splitting into six!

Six-Staff Light Prison!"

After the incantation was finished, six beams of golden light suddenly appeared around, directly controlling the Demon King tightly.

This was a technique Ishihara had researched by combining his spiritual power with Sage Mode chakra.

It could not only trap ghosts but also control humans, Tailed Beasts, Susanoo, and everything else!

"What... did you do! Bastard, let me go! Damn it!"

That Demon King shouted in extreme anger; he wanted to self-destruct to preserve his dignity.

However, it had no effect at all; he could not mobilize any of his power, and his entire ghostly body was as if sealed.

"Since you know him, you should also know that he self-destructed, right?

He self-destructed in front of me before; since then, I vowed never to let ghosts pull this self-destruct trick in front of me again.

So, I researched the Six-Staff Light Prison, a technique specifically designed to deal with you ghosts."

Ishihara said with a smile, then directly grabbed the ghost before him and walked towards his own research laboratory.

This was a very excellent material; perhaps it could allow him to understand ghosts even better!

On the other side, Jiraiya, after seeing Ishihara take the ghost away, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems this powerful ghost has been dealt with; then I will temporarily send them back to Konoha Village."

So, Jiraiya, carrying three people on his back alone, walked slowly towards Konoha Village...
