Naruto: Creating Immortal Techniques at Six, Shocking Uncle Snake

Chapter 185: Toying with the Ghost in the Palm of His Hand!

The Fear Ghost was immensely satisfied with the scene before him. However, just as he was about to deliver his victory proclamation, Sasuke's voice suddenly came from behind him.

"You didn't actually think you've won, did you?"

Hearing Sasuke's voice, the Fear Ghost froze for a moment and then turned to look behind him.

Sure enough, Sasuke was there, standing with his arms crossed, sneering at him!

"Hah? Don't get cocky! It's just an illusion!"

The Fear Ghost roared and charged straight at Sasuke.

Yet once again, he saw Sasuke trembling with fear, his eyes filled with terror.

This hesitation caused the Fear Ghost to pause.

Was this fear real—or fake?

If it was genuine fear, letting the opportunity slip would be a waste.

But if it was fake, charging in would surely result in a brutal counterattack.

The Fear Ghost found himself caught in a dilemma.

He wasn't even sure if the Sasuke he had dispersed earlier had truly seen his eyes.

His fear ability could only affect a person once. If the target wasn't killed during that window, it would be much harder to use it again—just like that one opponent!

Recalling that encounter, the Fear Ghost couldn't help but feel lucky.

That opponent had been genuinely frightened the first time, but the Fear Ghost had failed to devour him.

The second attempt had no effect, and the battle that followed was extremely challenging!

If it hadn't been for the Cruel Ghost fighting alongside him, he might have been chopped to death back then.

Reflecting on this, the Fear Ghost tightened his grip on his Zanpakutō and cautiously approached Sasuke.

The closer he got, the more Sasuke resembled someone seeing his eyes for the first time.

"So, the one before wasn't your true body? Is this your real form then? Just like those ordinary humans, harboring fear in your heart," the Fear Ghost chuckled, slashing down viciously at Sasuke.

But with a bang, Sasuke disappeared in a puff of white smoke.

In the next instant, Sasuke appeared behind the Fear Ghost, pressing his Zanpakutō against his neck.

"Looks like you're pretty weak. Time to die."

"Impossible! How did you trick me again? What's going on with you?!"

Fear flickered in the Fear Ghost's eyes. For a moment, he couldn't even discern which Sasuke was real.

But in the next second, his head flew off.

Still, he wasn't worried—after all, he was a ghost. Even decapitation wouldn't kill him, and he could reattach his head.

However, in the moment that followed, the Fear Ghost froze.

It wasn't working—his spiritual energy was dispersing.

His aura was growing weaker and weaker.

He couldn't even sense the presence of the man standing before him!

What was happening? Could it be that this man had been an illusion from the start?

In reality, the Fear Ghost had been standing still all along.

Meanwhile, Sasuke, with his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan activated, had cast a genjutsu and calmly approached the ghost. He swung his Zanpakutō repeatedly, striking the Fear Ghost hundreds of times.

Although the Fear Ghost was incredibly resilient, he couldn't withstand being slashed hundreds of times in succession.

In the illusion, the Fear Ghost believed he had killed Sasuke multiple times and was still alive.

In reality, it was Sasuke who had cut him dozens of times over.

"Pathetic creatures. Can't even distinguish between illusion and reality?" Sasuke shook his head, looking down on the ghosts even more.

After all, how could beings that couldn't discern truth from falsehood qualify as his opponents?

Did they even understand the weight of the name Uchiha?

That name was Uchiha!

Sasuke's lips curled into a slight smirk as he shifted his gaze elsewhere.

Upon seeing Kakashi and Naruto locked in fierce battles, his confidence grew even stronger.

Perhaps now he had finally caught up to his teacher, Kakashi-sensei?

Indeed, he truly was a genius!

In truth, ever since Sasuke awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, Kakashi had ceased to be his match.

Now, with the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, mastery of swordsmanship, and his Zanpakutō, even a more advanced Kakashi wouldn't stand a chance.

However, this was the original Kakashi.

The current Kakashi, having lost his Sharingan, had focused entirely on honing his swordsmanship. With the Zanpakutō as a blade weapon, it perfectly complemented him.

Though it required more chakra, with no Sharingan constantly draining his reserves, Kakashi's chakra levels had become astonishingly high.

At this moment, Kakashi was merely analyzing the capabilities of the three ghosts before him.

He knew that ghosts capable of killing someone wielding a Zanpakutō couldn't possibly be as weak as they seemed.

"At least one of your comrades has already fallen," Kakashi said.

But the remaining ghost was unfazed, launching an attack on Kakashi instead!
