Naruto: Creating Immortal Techniques at Six, Shocking Uncle Snake

Chapter 184: The Three-Headed Ghost!

"Kakashi-sensei, there doesn't seem to be anything unusual here. Are there really ghosts in this place?"

Naruto squinted as he looked at the village in front of him. Everything appeared perfectly normal to him.

However, Sasuke, standing nearby, frowned slightly. He sensed something was amiss.

The villagers in the area seemed... off, almost fake.

"Sharingan!"

Without hesitation, Sasuke activated his Sharingan. The moment he did so, all the villagers disappeared!

The village, which seemed picturesque at first glance, was now revealed to be in ruins.

Broken limbs, severed bodies, and blood filled the scene before him.

Fortunately, Sasuke had a strong mental fortitude, so he didn't react too strongly.

Still, this gruesome sight gave the young ninja a small but significant shock.

Kakashi noticed Sasuke's unusual behavior and turned to him.

"What did you see?" he asked.

Sasuke trembled slightly as he recounted everything he had seen.

Naruto, hearing this, found it hard to believe. Yet, the undeniable truth was right before them.

"It seems a genjutsu has been cast over this place," Kakashi speculated. "Sasuke, can you dispel it?"

Kakashi was certain this illusion was beyond his own abilities, but Sasuke might be able to handle it.

"I'll try," Sasuke replied, swiftly forming seals with his hands.

"Genjutsu: Release!"

The Sharingan, one of the strongest ocular jutsu in the ninja world, quickly dispelled the illusion that ordinary means could not.

The village's true, horrific state was fully revealed.

Naruto was left stunned, not by fear but by anger.

Clenching his fists tightly, he growled, "Who did this? Who would commit such a terrible act?!"

Rage burned within him as he spoke through gritted teeth.

Just then, a man's voice echoed in the air:

"Good question. Such a magnificent masterpiece... of course, it was created by me!"

Naruto instinctively looked around for the source of the voice but saw nothing.

It dawned on him—it must have been a ghost!

"Sage Mode!"

With a fierce shout, orange markings appeared around Naruto's eyes as he entered Sage Mode.

The chakra within him began to surge wildly.

In his heightened state, Naruto quickly spotted the ghost.

It was a black, floating figure with two heads and no legs, exuding an icy aura. Both of its heads were adorned with white masks.

"Well, well, such intense hatred and anger!"

"Indeed, with that energy, the third one can emerge now!"

The two heads spoke alternately. As they did, a third head grew between them. This new head was noticeably smaller than the others but radiated palpable anger and hatred.

"You bastard!"

Without hesitation, Naruto charged at the ghost, a Sage Art: Rasengan forming in his hand.

"Calm down, Naruto!" Kakashi called out instinctively, trying to stop him. But Naruto moved too fast.

The ghost suddenly split into three separate entities!

"Hello there. I am the embodiment of cruelty. When fighting me, be careful, or I'll dismember you piece by piece," one of the ghosts said in an eerie tone, drawing a zanpakuto out of nowhere and slashing at Kakashi.

Meanwhile, Sasuke was trapped by another ghost.

"I didn't expect you to break my illusion. I had planned for you to die peacefully in a dream. But it seems you won't enjoy that luxury now. Oh, by the way, I'm the embodiment of fear. You can call me Fear. Fighting me will make you very, very scared!"

Fear smiled sinisterly and released a mysterious power toward Sasuke.

But Sasuke's Sharingan saw through the attack instantly.

"Amaterasu!"

Without hesitation, Sasuke unleashed Amaterasu, incinerating the mysterious power completely.

Fear froze for a moment, surprised. It was his first time encountering someone who could neutralize his attack.

"Is that all you've got? If so, prepare to die here," Sasuke declared, crossing his arms arrogantly. His boldness visibly irritated Fear.

"How dare a mere brat act so smug? Let me show you my true power!"

Fear snarled, gripping a zanpakuto as he charged at Sasuke.

The sheer malice in Fear's approach made Sasuke hesitate. For a brief moment, it felt like he was facing the most terrifying thing in existence.

A wave of dread overwhelmed him, leaving him unable to move.

Seeing this, Fear smirked with satisfaction and slashed his zanpakuto down, severing Sasuke's head.

"Tch! Kids these days are so weak it's laughable!"

But was it really over?

After all, this was Uchiha Sasuke—the wielder of the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan!
