Chapter 399: The Gold That Comes Knocking

If there's one thing ghosts fear most, it's Might Guy and Rock Lee.

Originally, Neji and Tenten were supposed to be there too, but since Neji and Tenten cannot see ghosts, they did not accompany Might Guy and Rock Lee to exorcise them.

The reason Might Guy and Rock Lee can see ghosts is purely because they practice the Eight Gates Released Formation.

Moreover, the vital energy in their bodies is extremely vigorous, which makes that group of ghosts very afraid.

If that were all, it would be one thing, but their appearance makes that group of ghosts feel extremely uncomfortable.

Just imagine the scene of being chased by two green-clad monsters, and the feeling of a fierce kick landing hard on your body.

That group of ghosts basically flees for their lives the moment they see Might Guy and Rock Lee.

Unfortunately, most of the ghosts cannot escape.

After all, not only are Rock Lee and Might Guy incredibly fast, but their stamina is also terrifying!

There was even a time when a ghost ran until its spiritual energy dissipated and it died!

"I didn't expect all three of them to be so severely injured. It seems that ghost is quite formidable."

"Formidable? That ghost can create a Ghost Domain and drag others into it."

If Ishihara hadn't arrived in time, they would have all been eaten by that ghost.

Perhaps even I, out here, would not have escaped death."

Jiraiya said with deep emotion, and Tsunade nodded. After thinking for a moment, she finally spoke:

"Alright, I understand. Fortunately, that ghost has been dealt with."

Looking at Naruto, Sasuke, and Kakashi lying in bed,

Tsunade felt her scalp go numb and the whole of her body felt extremely unwell.

With three key mainstays suddenly missing from the village, many matters have become very difficult to handle.

In that case, we must now find a way to keep Jiraiya here!

So, Tsunade's gaze toward Jiraiya gradually grew intense, which made Jiraiya feel somewhat uncomfortable.

What is this guy doing? Why is he looking at me like that?

"Is something the matter?"

Finally, Jiraiya couldn't help but ask, and seeing this, Tsunade took the opportunity to say:

"The village is currently short on manpower. If you leave at this time,

the entire village will likely suffer a huge blow. The Daimyo has already issued a decree.

To obtain funding, all ghosts must be eradicated."

Seeing the serious expression before him, Jiraiya knew he could not escape; it seemed he must stay in Konoha for a while.

"It seems my power has reached its limit? But I didn't expect the Tailed Beasts could still further enhance my strength."

In a certain cave, Uchiha Madara clenched his fist.

The sensation of that power surging into his body felt wonderful, but unfortunately, he could no longer grow stronger at present.

However, now that he learned Tailed Beast chakra could continue to strengthen him, he developed a strong interest in the One-Tail.

"If my guess is correct, the first to be resurrected should be the One-Tail, right?"

Uchiha Madara propped his chin with his hand and then slowly called out:

"Someone, go investigate where the One-Tail's chakra is located."

"Yes! Lord Uchiha Madara!"

Outside, upon hearing the voice, a ghost spoke directly.

Immediately, countless ghosts outside the cave began to move, each heading off in different directions to explore.

"The one thousand eight hundred and sixty-fourth one. Why have ghosts been increasing so much recently?"

After killing a ghost, Jin looked at the front with some confusion.

He could sense that there were still a continuous stream of ghosts approaching him from ahead.

This group of ghosts seems to fear neither life nor death, and their strength is quite formidable.

"Could it be that something extraordinary has happened in the Ninja World?"

Jin muttered to himself, and then four ghosts suddenly appeared around him.
