Naruto: Creating Immortal Techniques at Six, Shocking Uncle Snake

Chapter 192: Ishihara Takes Action, Ishihara Is Shocked!

Looking down at the Ghost Domain and Jiraiya below, Ishihara immediately deduced what had transpired.

At the same time, he began to contemplate whether it was time to replace the Zanpakutōs used by this group.

After all, the Zanpakutōs he sold to the public inherently had significant flaws—they secretly absorbed their hosts' chakra!

Now that the ghosts had grown so much stronger, if the Zanpakutōs continued to have such drawbacks, a large number of shinobi would likely die, which was something he could not accept.

The death of shinobi would only lead to an increase in ghost numbers.

"Hmm, it seems the time has come to release a new version of the Zanpakutō and recall the old ones.

I bet many of the old Zanpakutōs still hold substantial spiritual energy and even some chakra," Ishihara said with a smile as he began to descend slowly.

"Ishihara!"

Jiraiya was momentarily stunned to see Ishihara but soon became overjoyed.

He was well aware of this man's immense power and the fact that the Zanpakutōs were creations of his.

"You seem very happy to see me. Care to explain why?"

Although Ishihara knew the reason, he couldn't help but tease Jiraiya a little.

For a moment, Jiraiya was at a loss for words.

Seeing Jiraiya's awkward silence, Ishihara decided not to press him further. It seemed Jiraiya felt uneasy due to the disparity in their strength.

"I sensed a powerful ghost here, so I came. You should know that all the Zanpakutōs were crafted by me to bring peace to the shinobi world as quickly as possible, sending all those damned ghosts back to where they belong."

Ishihara smiled as he spoke, extending his right hand to gently tear through the space before him.

Suddenly, a rift appeared in the air, and terrifying spiritual energy along with the aura of a ghost emanated from within.

Inside, Kakashi and Sasuke lay unconscious on the ground, while Naruto was held by the ghost, about to be devoured!

Seeing this, Ishihara couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. This ghost was truly horrifying—it intended to eat its prey alive?

He then noticed the broken Zanpakutō lying on the ground.

"Interesting. So, it was you who broke the Zanpakutō?"

Ishihara walked into the Ghost Domain, speaking slowly. No matter what, he had decided to deal with this ghost himself.

No one could stop him. After all, this ghost had the ability to break a Zanpakutō—such a remarkable specimen simply couldn't be allowed to escape.

Naturally, he planned to take it back for experimentation.

Coincidentally, the last ghost capable of manipulating the Ghost Domain had self-destructed. Now another one had shown up.

While Ishihara marveled at his extraordinary luck, the ghost king marveled at his own.

"Gahaha! So, you're Ishihara? The one who created us and crafted the Zanpakutōs? You're the one who drove that elder ghost to its death, huh? Not surprising—if you caught him, it proves he was weak. But I'm different! I won't be caught by you. Instead, I'll avenge him and kill you here! After all, I am the Ghost King!"

The Ghost King cackled excitedly, tossing Naruto aside.

Although this kid looked quite appetizing, proving himself as the strongest Ghost King by avenging his predecessor was far more important!

"Naruto!"

Jiraiya used the Body Flicker Technique to catch Naruto and cradle him in his arms.

Seeing Naruto barely clinging to life, Jiraiya felt a deep sense of anguish, his heart seething with fury.

Rage consumed him as he activated Sage Mode, glaring fiercely at the ghost as if ready to strike at any moment.

At this point, Ishihara placed a hand on Jiraiya's shoulder.

"Take care of them. Leave this ghost to me."

After saying this, Ishihara leaped gracefully to confront the Ghost King.

"Gahaha! Do you think you can defeat me alone? I am the Ghost King! The Ghost King!"

"I'm curious. Who is this predecessor you mentioned? Did they also teach you how to control the Ghost Domain?"

Ishihara calmly asked, completely ignoring the Ghost King's taunts.

This greatly displeased the Ghost King, who felt his authority was being challenged.

Enraged, the Ghost King swung the Zanpakutō at Ishihara with a powerful slash.

However, Ishihara simply raised his right hand and firmly caught the blade!

"Scatter."

As Ishihara murmured the word softly, the Zanpakutō in the Ghost King's hand disintegrated into nothingness.

The Ghost King froze, his pupils contracting sharply as he stared at Ishihara in disbelief.

But he quickly understood—this was the man who had created the Zanpakutōs.

It wasn't surprising that he could dismantle one with a single word.

Still, even without a Zanpakutō, the Ghost King was confident he could defeat Ishihara.

Ishihara, on the other hand, was surprised that this ghost had managed to wield a Zanpakutō.

It seemed the use of Zanpakutōs had become widespread even among ghosts.

The shinobi were truly foolish—despite having Zanpakutōs, they still lost to these ghosts.

Ishihara found the situation utterly exasperating, though he had somewhat misunderstood the shinobi.

Some Zanpakutōs had fallen into the hands of ghosts before suitable users could be found.

"Since the Zanpakutō is useless, how about this move?"

As Ishihara observed the Ghost King's next technique, he was stunned once again.

This technique... wasn't it...
