Chapter 456: Uchiha Madara Returns! (Requesting Full Subscriptions! Auto-Subscriptions!)

Uchiha Madara never dreamed he would lose to Ishihara again; he thought that after becoming a ghost and absorbing a considerable amount of One-Tail's chakra,

he should have been able to crush Ishihara, yet who would have thought he was defeated by Ishihara again,

and moreover, he lost in a crushing manner!

Earlier, when he could exchange blows with Ishihara, Uchiha Madara realized that the opponent had suppressed his strength.

Now, having returned to the Underworld, Uchiha Madara felt only a wave of desolation.

Perhaps it is truly the case that there are always those beyond others, and heavens beyond heavens?

However, just then, Uchiha Madara suddenly felt dizzy and disoriented.

When he woke up, he discovered that everything around him was so wrong!

"Is this the Underworld? Why is the Underworld like this?"

Uchiha Madara looked at the bright surroundings; this feeling was no different from the Ninja World at all.

Could it be that after sleeping for a while, the Underworld changed completely upon his waking?

However, in reality, the Sage of Six Paths secretly sent Uchiha Madara out!

He still needed Uchiha Madara to restrain Ishihara; how could he allow Uchiha Madara to die so easily and come to this Underworld?

And soon, Uchiha Madara realized that he apparently had not entered the Underworld, but had returned to the real world?!

Uchiha Madara felt extremely surprised; what on earth was happening, and why had he returned to the real world?

Thinking this, Uchiha Madara looked around in confusion.

Who exactly was it? Could it be the master of the Underworld, unwilling to let him enter the Underworld?

Or did someone want him to do something in the real world?

Whoever it was, Uchiha Madara felt an invisible great hand behind him manipulating all of this.

"It seems I am not strong enough; someone even wants to manipulate my fate."

Uchiha Madara clenched his fist; this time he decided to develop cautiously and absolutely avoid clashing with Ishihara again.

After all, Ishihara's strength was too great; before having absolute certainty, it was better to stay away.

Kirigakure, inside Ishihara's research institute.

"It seems indeed another ghost rescued him."

"Then give him a chance; if he does not come himself, I will personally bring him back."

Ishihara looked around, then formed hand seals with both hands.

This was a special seal capable of ultra-long-distance communication.

The Ghost King bore a mark left by him; this seal could transmit his will to that mark on the Ghost King.

"Lord Ghost King! This is all the intelligence from the entire Ninja World recently!"

"Good, good, good, well done. Hmm?"

The Ghost King had been smiling and praising his subordinate the previous second, but the next second his expression changed drastically.

The ghost standing before him was stunned at the sight, then immediately knelt on the ground, trembling in fear.

"Lord Ghost King, I do not know what wrong I have done to make Lord Ghost King's expression change so drastically; please punish me!"

That ghost's will to survive was maxed out, yet the Ghost King had no intention of holding it against him.

After all, it was not this ghost before him who had angered him, but rather he had received the information transmitted by Ishihara!

"It is none of your business; you may leave first!"

"Yes, Lord Ghost King."

Upon hearing this, that ghost hurriedly left, while the Ghost King sat on his throne and fell into deep thought.

"What should be done? Should I return to continue being imprisoned, tortured and studied day after day...

or simply cut off the mark within my body without further ado and hide?"

Most importantly, I must determine whether he can find me."

The Ghost King began to hesitate; he also knew Ishihara had certainly left a mark within his body.

This was the reason he had not gone with these ghosts to their base, but instead chose a more distant place to reside temporarily.

"Without further ado! Erase this mark directly, then change location."

After all, returning to be studied would certainly lead to death; I am the strongest ghost; I am the Ghost King!

Give me time, and I will surely surpass everything in the world!"

Thinking this, the Ghost King hesitated no longer; his entire body began to trem violently.

Then with a loud boom, his whole body exploded directly!

However, since he was a ghost, his explosion did not cause much impact on physical objects.

This explosion also shocked the ghosts outside.

"Did a ghost just self-destruct?"

"Who is it? Are they not afraid of angering Lord Ghost King? Why would a perfectly fine ghost self-destruct! 1.1"

"Damn it, didn't you notice? The direction of that self-destruction was Lord Ghost King's location!"

"Impossible; Lord Ghost King would self-destruct?"

"Let us go see quickly; if it truly is Lord Ghost King self-destructing, that would be disastrous."

"Yes, yes; I heard Lord Ghost King was studied by that fellow Ishihara for a long time."

"It is quite possible he would suddenly self-destruct!"

Thus, a crowd of ghosts drifted in great numbers toward the Ghost King's palace.

Meanwhile, after the self-destruction, the Ghost King turned into countless spiritual energies, which then slowly gathered together....
