Naruto: Creating Immortal Techniques at Six, Shocking Uncle Snake

Chapter 187: Ishihara's Frustration, the Experimental Subject Self-Destructs!

In Kirigakure, Ishihara was deeply engrossed in studying the ghost before him.

Just as he was about to prompt the ghost to reopen the Ghost Domain and form a mask on its face—

Boom!

The ghost suddenly exploded right in front of him!

The terrifying blast sent Ishihara flying.

An invisible wave of energy spread outward from Ishihara's lab, radiating across the entire ninja world.

However, Ishihara, the one at the center of it all, had no idea what had just happened. He was still pondering the explosion that had occurred moments ago.

"Nothing else was damaged; it just blasted me away.

I feel a bit dizzy, but this explosion doesn't seem to be a physical one.

Instead, it feels more like a shockwave on a spiritual level, capable of affecting the souls nearby.

And this thing… it seems to have self-detonated, right? That last meaningful look it gave me felt like it was hinting at something.

What a headache."

Ishihara rested his chin on his hand, frustrated that his experimental subject had somehow developed the bizarre ability to self-destruct.

Moreover, that final glance had been exceptionally annoying.

To make matters worse, the ghost had truly disappeared after self-detonating, leaving no chance of entering the Netherworld.

It would have been so much easier if it had cooperated with him. He wouldn't have done more than dissect it briefly before restoring it completely.

Not to mention, the ghost had been growing stronger over time. And yet, it still wasn't satisfied.

Ishihara shrugged helplessly and decided to move on to other research topics.

As for studying ghosts? Forget it. Their brilliance was fleeting at best.

Once all the Tailed Beasts were resurrected, the ghosts would lose their source of spiritual energy and likely weaken over time, right?

However, Ishihara didn't realize that the ghosts' existence wasn't dependent on the Tailed Beasts' chakra.

Instead, they roamed because they couldn't enter the Netherworld.

With the growing number of ghosts, some had truly begun to "die"—not entering the Netherworld, but ceasing to exist altogether.

When they died, their energy dispersed into the surroundings, strengthening nearby ghosts.

As a result, the remaining ghosts became even more powerful and harder to eliminate.

In short, as long as people continued to die, the ghosts would never disappear!

Not only that, but the ghosts would grow stronger over time!

"I understand, Kakashi-sensei! If there's a chance, I'll call you!"

Naruto spoke, then resumed his struggle with the ghost before him.

Sasuke, standing nearby, joined in to help.

After all, it would be quite difficult for Naruto to handle the ghost on his own!

"Sharingan!"

Sasuke shouted, unleashing a genjutsu.

However, the ghost only froze for a second before a wave of overwhelming resentment erupted from its body.

In an instant, the genjutsu was shattered, and the ghost grew even stronger.

"Hey! You two are really something! Using these cheap tricks to mess with me!"

The furious ghost roared and, gripping its Zanpakuto, slashed at Naruto from a distance.

A crimson crescent-shaped slash shot forward!

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Jutsu!"

Instinctively, Sasuke countered with his own jutsu, but the crescent attack pierced through the fireball and struck Naruto directly.

Boom!

Naruto, unable to dodge, was sent flying like a kite with a broken string. Kakashi glanced worriedly at him before turning his attention back to the ghost.

This kid… always like this.

But then—Bang! The "Naruto" who had been sent flying dissipated into white smoke!

It was a Shadow Clone!

The furious ghost paused, confused.

What's going on? Why did the opponent's real body suddenly disappear?

The next moment, Naruto reappeared before the ghost, and it was as if a stirring BGM had started playing in the background!

"If I use Sage Chakra for my Shadow Clones, you won't be able to tell the real me from the fakes!

This is what you taught me—extreme calmness in moments of extreme rage to find a way to defeat my opponent!"

Naruto declared, forming hand seals.

"Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

With a series of bangs, countless Narutos surrounded the furious ghost.

This time, the ghost couldn't distinguish between the real one and the clones!

"Sage Art: Giant Rasengan Barrage!"

With a collective shout, every Naruto clone formed a massive Sage Art Rasengan.

They charged toward the furious ghost, aiming to crush it.

Not far away, Kakashi sighed in exasperation.

"This Naruto… he said he'd let me know beforehand!"

Kakashi glanced at the ferocious ghost before him. Even at his fastest, it would take him three seconds to eliminate it.

At that moment, Kakashi noticed Sasuke behind a large tree, his right hand crackling with Chidori and his left hand gripping a Zanpakuto.

Kakashi instantly understood—Sasuke was planning to coordinate with him!

"Lightning Cutter!"

Without hesitation, Kakashi acted. With Sasuke's assistance, they could finish this in two seconds—perfectly synchronized with Naruto's attack!
