Chapter 211: Jin's Entrapment Operation
"This guy has been moving at the same speed from the start. Why is he still maintaining it after covering such a long distance?"
"So strange... Could he be deliberately waiting for us?"
"Damn, I have a bad feeling about this. We're really far from Lord Uchiha Madara now!"
"This is bad! Retreat immediately!"
The ghosts who had been chasing suddenly realized something was wrong. However, just as they prepared to retreat—
Jin blocked their path!
"You guys seemed to be enjoying the chase just now. Well then, isn't it my turn now?"
Jin grinned, pointing his Zanpakutō at one of the weaker ghosts.
The ghost was momentarily stunned before immediately flying into a rage.
"Are you kidding me?! Even among ghosts, we're among the strongest! What makes you think you can take us down?"
With that, the ghost charged at Jin.
However, Jin merely leaped lightly, easily dodging the attack.
Seeing this, the other three ghosts also lunged at him.
Yet, all their attacks were effortlessly evaded by Jin.
Like a butterfly dancing amidst flowers, he weaved through them with ease, occasionally slashing his Zanpakutō at the ghosts.
Each slash wasn't enough to deal serious damage, but it made the ghosts extremely uncomfortable.
A few more hits like that, and they might be sliced to death bit by bit!
Soon, the ghosts realized something was very wrong, but it was already too late!
"This brat is absorbing our power during battle!"
"Damn it! Who's the real ghost here, him or us?!"
"Run! If this fight drags on, we're definitely dead!"
"Screw this! It's not like Uchiha Madara ever said he wanted us as subordinates. We can leave and find another place to become big shots!"
The ghosts completely lost their will to fight and tried to flee in all directions.
But Jin wasn't about to let them get away.
Gripping his Zanpakutō with one hand, he used Shunpo to instantly appear before the weakest ghost.
Seeing the blade about to slash down, the ghost immediately dropped to its knees, begging for mercy.
"Please, don't kill me! I'm a ghost, yes, but I haven't done anything truly evil! I've never even killed anyone! If you kill me, it's just—"
Squelch!
Before the ghost could finish, Jin slashed it cleanly in two.
Then, he turned his gaze toward the remaining three ghosts with a smile.
"Now then, it's your turn."
Jin grinned wickedly and immediately closed in on another ghost.
Seeing this, the other two ghosts split up and fled in opposite directions.
But they had barely taken two steps before Jin swiftly cut one of them down!
Ten seconds later, all four ghosts had been slain by Jin.
"My spiritual energy has recovered a little, but my chakra still hasn't. I can't keep fighting—my body's reaching its limit. I need to find a place to rest for a while.
Hopefully, Uchiha Madara doesn't grow too strong. Otherwise, things might get really tricky."
Muttering to himself, Jin found a cave and settled down to rest.

Meanwhile, after dealing with Raen, Suigetsu Hozuki was leisurely making his way toward the Land of Wind.
He wasn't in a hurry at all. After all, he didn't believe anyone could defeat Haku.
Even the Kage from other villages might not stand a chance against Haku, let alone some mere ghosts.
Besides, the Kage of other villages had no reason to pick a fight with Haku.
The only potential troublemaker might be Sunagakure.
But honestly, Sunagakure didn't have anyone worth worrying about right now.
"Well, taking it easy every once in a while isn't so bad."
Suigetsu chuckled to himself—
Suddenly, a figure appeared ahead.
"Hmm? That guy looks..."
Suigetsu squinted at the silhouette, feeling a strange sense of familiarity.
Not just the person, but even the way they appeared seemed oddly recognizable.
This entrance... Could it be—Obito?!
"Long time no see, Suigetsu Hozuki."
As the figure drew closer, it was indeed Obito.
This surprised Suigetsu, making him instinctively more cautious.
The Immortal Organization had no ties with Obito.
In fact, they were practically enemies!
"Man, no need to be so tense. I'm not here to assassinate you," Obito said, waving his hand with a smile.
But in the very next second, his expression changed, and he instantly appeared in front of Suigetsu.
"Just kidding!"
Squelch!
A kunai stabbed straight into Suigetsu's abdomen.
Yet, Obito's expression showed no joy—on the contrary, he looked grim.
"Water Clone!"
"You really did come looking for trouble, huh? The only question is... are you strong enough?"
Suigetsu grinned, revealing his sharp teeth, as he placed a hand on the Zanpakutō behind him.
This guy had the nerve to ambush him—so there was no way he'd let that slide.
If not for his quick reflexes, he might have actually taken a serious hit.
However, Obito merely smirked coldly.
"Heh... You just fought a fierce battle against a ghost. Do you really have enough stamina left to fight me?
Sharingan!"
