Chapter 412: Treasure Test Subject (Requesting Full Subscriptions! Auto-Subscriptions!)

"How utterly boring. Not a single ghost in sight. Could it be that we are simply too strong?"

Hozuki Suigetsu said with a smile; they had already been here for many days.

As a result, they had not encountered a single ghost since the last time.

Wasn't it agreed that there would be more and stronger ghosts in this area?

Why has it been several days, their supplies are nearly exhausted, yet not a single ghost has appeared?

"I'll go to a nearby village to buy some supplies."

Byakuya spoke up; if they didn't go soon, their food would likely be gone within five days at most.

"Let me go instead. I'm going crazy just staying here; let me get some fresh air."

Hozuki Suigetsu said, and Byakuya, hearing this, didn't think much of it, simply nodding to indicate agreement.

Thus, Hozuki Suigetsu, carrying several sealing scrolls, headed toward the direction of Konoha Village.

That's right, the direction of Konoha Village.

The Sand Village was indeed the closest to them, but the problem was that the Sand Village's own supplies were already a problem.

They would still need to buy from other villages; going to the Sand Village would be a joke.

Therefore, Konoha Village was his best choice.

"Huh? That direction... is the One-Tail actually over there? I didn't expect my luck to be this good."

Uchiha Madara, who was chasing Jin, smiled; he never dreamed that he was merely pursuing a person with great potential.

Yet this person had unexpectedly led him right to the place where the One-Tail would revive.

However, this area was indeed in the desert, so the One-Tail had a high probability of reviving here.

Thinking this, Uchiha Madara wondered if he perhaps didn't need to continue chasing this person?

As long as he cultivated here, his strength would constantly increase!

"I found a ghost with excellent talent. If we can recruit him..."

"... our strength might see a massive increase!"

"A ghost? Isn't the ghost that's been popular lately an existence dedicated solely to killing the living?"

"Can such a person really become a member of our organization?"

Uchiha Obito expressed great confusion, but Black Zetsu merely smiled.

In fact, he had not only found a powerful ghost but had also found Uchiha Madara!

However, the current Uchiha Madara was clearly not suitable to continue following him.

Let's see who to possess once all the Tailed Beasts are gathered!

Black Zetsu thought to himself, while Uchiha Obito finally made up his mind.

"Alright, where is he? I'll go see if I can subdue him."

Obito was ultimately tempted; after all, he currently had no power base and had to do everything himself.

If he had a ghost, perhaps collecting the Tailed Beasts would be even more convenient?

At the very least, they would have the ability to compete with other factions!

"I'll take you there..."

Kirigakure Village, Ishihara's laboratory...

Ishihara was continuously researching the so-called Ghost King; aside from other things, this fellow's healing ability was indeed very formidable.

"Damn it! Don't let me get a chance to leave here, or I will definitely kill you! Do you hear me, damn it? I will kill you!"

The Ghost King shouted, swearing that as long as he didn't die and as long as he could survive and leave, he would...

*Smack! * Ishihara slapped the Ghost King across the face.

"Stop dreaming nonsense. Do you think you can escape?"

"Cooperate with my research honestly; once I finish my research, I will naturally release you."

"And let you return to the Underworld."

After speaking, Ishihara took out a spiritual energy scalpel and sliced straight down the ghost's arm.

This was the part of the opponent that contained the least spiritual energy...

After cutting it off, Ishihara began analyzing the severed arm; rather than a severed arm, it was pure spiritual energy!

Not to mention ghosts, even he himself could absorb this kind of power; however, absorbing this power would cause one's personality to develop toward the personality of the original power holder.

Of course, such things could be purified, but it would be quite troublesome.

Pure white spiritual energy appeared on Ishihara's hand and began to decompose that arm.

Quickly, the arm turned into the most refined spiritual energy, which was then absorbed by Ishihara into his own body.

This scene completely shocked the ghost.

Isn't this ability something only ghosts possess?

Why can a living person possess their ability?

The Ghost King did not understand at all and felt immense terror.

How long has it been? This person has already researched a way for living people to possess the power of ghosts.

This person is too terrifying!

"Then let us continue with the next part of the research. If your arm is composed of spiritual energy..."

"... then next, if there is enough spiritual energy, your arm should definitely be able to regenerate, correct?"

Subsequently, Ishihara began to condense a ball of spiritual energy and pressed it onto the Ghost King's severed arm at the 1.1 mark.

Immediately, that Ghost King actually began to slowly grow a new arm!

Seeing this, the Ghost King was stunned; he realized that if he stayed with this person a bit longer...

His strength will likely rise very quickly, won't it?

After all, the newly grown arm is purely formed from gathered spiritual power!

At this moment, the Ghost King somewhat failed to understand why the senior had to self-detonate; he could clearly become stronger, wasn't it just a slight restriction on freedom?

As for that little pain, can it even be called pain?

One must admit, Shi Yuan this time found an excellent test subject, one that would allow him to conduct research for a long time...
