Chapter 401: Terrifying Power—Instantly Slaying Ghosts

Looking at Jin not far away, the four ghosts all froze in place.

They had never expected the opponent's speed to be this fast—he vanished that far in the blink of an eye.

"You bastard, you really run fast!"

"Hmph, running fast doesn't mean you can beat us! And Uchiha Madara is even faster!"

"No need to waste words with him—let's just go kill him!"

Immediately, the four ghosts charged straight at Jin.

But Jin merely shook his head at the sight.

To others, perhaps they were strong, but to him, they were still too weak.

He didn't even need to use his Zanpakutō to deal with them~!

That's right—with his current strength, fighting these guys absolutely didn't require his Zanpakutō.

And all of this was thanks to the Zanpakutō.

After the Zanpakutō severed its connection with Ishihara, it naturally became free to act as it wished.

It didn't drain Jin's chakra; instead, it replenished him with spiritual energy.

Now, Jin's chakra was far stronger than before, and his body had partially become Shinigami-like.

Ishihara never imagined the Zanpakutō, after voluntarily severing its bond with him, would become this absurd.

Boom!

Jin punched one ghost straight into the air, and the mask on its face cracked open.

The remaining three ghosts were left stunned.

Could this guy be Uchiha Madara in disguise?

Is his power really this terrifying?

For a moment, the three ghosts stared at each other, too afraid to advance.

Jin clenched his fist.

"Now do you realize how weak you are? But it seems Uchiha Madara is your boss, right?"

"If I kill him, won't the number of ghosts in the ninja world drop significantly?"

Jin said with a smile, then used Shunpo to appear before one of the ghosts.

That's right—Shunpo!

After the previous ghost escaped, he began studying footwork, determined that next time he wouldn't let that guy get away.

Shunpo was the result of his research—and of course, the Zanpakutō contributed a great deal.

"What! So fast!"

The ghost's pupils shrank sharply—he moved too fast, and now he stood right before him.

Was this guy about to kill the next ghost? Him?

Thinking this, the ghost didn't hesitate—he spun around to flee.

But before he could even turn, Jin grabbed his head with his hand.

"Running away?"

Jin's lips curled slightly upward, then his right hand squeezed down hard.

Boom!

The ghost's head exploded.

"No!"

"This guy!"

The other two ghosts' eyes turned bloodshot, then filled with terror.

They turned and ran, desperate to deliver this news to Uchiha Madara.

But Jin's speed was too fast—they hadn't taken two steps before he killed them both.

Finally, Jin stood before the first ghost he had punched away.

At this moment, the ghost's mask was completely shattered; he lay on the ground, barely alive, as if he could die at any moment.

"Is the Uchiha Madara you mean the one who fought Hashirama Senju?"

Though uncertain, Jin decided to ask.

If it really was that Uchiha Madara, this would be fascinating!

Who would've thought a simple ninja from an ordinary village would get a chance to fight someone like Uchiha Madara?

"Hmph! Now you're scared? Let me go right now, and maybe I can beg Uchiha Madara to spare you!"

·· ······Request flowers· ·

"He might let you live—maybe even let you join us!"

Upon hearing Jin's words, the ghost laughed—he felt confident again.

After all, he had the legendary Uchiha Madara behind him!

He didn't know why Uchiha Madara needed them now, but no matter what, he was still Uchiha Madara's man.

If this guy wanted to kill him, he'd better think twice!

"Is your confidence from Uchiha Madara? Pathetic!"

Jin sneered, then raised his foot and stomped down hard on the ghost.

Boom!

The ghost died instantly.

"Uchiha Madara? If you're a ghost too, then I'll kill you as well!"

Jin spoke with absolute confidence, yet five masked ghosts immediately surrounded him.

"Interesting. They actually had to send us out; it seems you have some strength."

"Giggle, giggle, giggle! Each of us can fight more than a dozen masked ghosts!"

"I suppose this is your first time encountering ghosts as powerful as us?"

Each of those five masked ghosts held a Zanpakuto in hand!

This caught Jin off guard; the forces under Uchiha Madara were indeed strong.

There were so many ghosts wielding both swords and masks.

Perfect; I can kill all these ghosts right here.

That way, they won't go on to harm others.

"Just kill him directly, so Lord Uchiha Madara won't be displeased when he finds out."

"Agreed; we still have a mission to complete!"
