Naruto: Creating Immortal Techniques at Six, Shocking Uncle Snake

Chapter 172: Troubles That Must Be Resolved, Crafting Zanpakuto!

Just as I anticipated, the Shihakushō can block the damage caused by these guys..

Moreover, the stronger my spiritual power, the higher the limits of what it can withstand.

Ishihara pondered this in his heart. Meanwhile, the ghost in front of him panicked upon seeing the slight upward curve of Ishihara's lips.

This guy... this appearance!

There's no mistake—it's the person described by those bigshots!

The one even the bigshots fear.

The one who sealed the entire Afterworld, turning everyone into wandering spirits!

Ishihara!

"You, you, you… run!"

Without saying another word, the ghost turned and tried to flee. But who could have expected that in the next second, Ishihara would appear directly in front of him?

"Why the rush? Could it be... you're afraid of me?"

Ishihara pointed to himself and said with a smile, pressing his Zanpakuto against the ghost's neck.

"Don't worry. As long as you cooperate with me, I won't kill you."

Ishihara chuckled lightly. Seeing the ghost, he decided to conduct another experiment:

To extract a portion of his spiritual energy, infuse it into a weapon, and then allow other ninjas to use these weapons.

The aim was to see if the spiritual energy within the weapons could enable others to see ghosts and harm them.

Previously, no matter how he infused spiritual energy into ordinary items, they couldn't interact with ghosts. Now, he had a slight lead.

If ordinary items don't work, what about those imbued with chakra energy?

Or items infused with Six Paths energy or natural energy?

Half an hour later, Ishihara successfully created tools capable of attacking ghosts.

These tools allowed their wielders to see ghosts and even harm them!

"Lord Ishihara is truly amazing! With these tools, I believe we can clear out all the ghosts in the Ninja World very quickly!"

Kimimaro exclaimed in amazement. During this half hour, he had witnessed Ishihara create a brand-new tool from scratch.

"Why clear out all the ghosts in the Ninja World? They don't bother us, do they?"

Ishihara asked, clearly uninterested in acting as some kind of savior for the Ninja World.

What a joke. Why would he willingly clean up the ghosts?

However, his heart sank when he saw a man running toward him in the distance.

The man was none other than Orochimaru, who was in charge of monitoring the tailed beasts' movements!

In less than half a month, Orochimaru had already come here. It couldn't mean the tailed beasts had resurrected.

It was more likely that something had happened to the tailed beasts!

Sure enough, Orochimaru approached with a grim expression.

"I have bad news to report."

"What bad news? Has Shukaku already been captured?"

"No, it's worse than that. The time for the tailed beasts to reincarnate has been extended—or they may never reappear at all!"

Orochimaru's words stunned Kimimaro, who looked at him in disbelief.

How could this happen? The tailed beasts might never reincarnate?

Weren't they just masses of chakra? How could they fail to reincarnate?

Ishihara was also momentarily shocked but quickly understood.

Ghosts have appeared, the time for the tailed beasts to reincarnate has lengthened, and they may never reincarnate...

"Is it because of the ghosts causing such a stir recently?"

"Exactly. These ghosts are constantly absorbing the tailed beasts' power.

Initially, I found a large mass of Shukaku's chakra and was about to confirm its location of reincarnation.

But that chakra mass kept getting smaller, while the strange occurrences nearby increased."

After listening to Orochimaru, Ishihara immediately understood.

The ghosts had likely grown stronger by absorbing the tailed beasts' power!

If that's the case, then it seems they'll have to deal with these ghosts first.

"Sigh, no choice then. If that's how it is, let's push forward with the promotion of Sage Arts!"

Ishihara said helplessly, then summoned all the members of the Immortal Organization.

He began teaching Sage Arts and natural energy to everyone.

Under his personal guidance, everyone mastered Sage Arts!

Additionally, he crafted a set of weapons specifically designed to deal with ghosts.

All of them were long swords, capable of harming ghosts.

Moreover, after killing ghosts, the energy within the swords would grow stronger.
