Naruto: Creating Immortal Techniques at Six, Shocking Uncle Snake

Chapter 168: Did Ghosts Turn Into Hollows?!

The ghosts who had escaped from Ishihara's grasp gradually calmed down after their brief escape.

"That guy seems really dangerous!"

"Dangerous is an understatement. That guy nearly wiped us all out!"

"Damn it! We need to find a leader to guide us!"

"Agreed. Only by uniting all of our ghostly strength can we defeat that guy!"

"For peace! For a chance to enter the Afterworld!"

"For peace and for the Afterworld!"

Overnight, a wave of change swept through the ghostly realm. They began to gather, consolidate their power, and learn to grow stronger!

However, unbeknownst to them, an even stronger ghost was observing everything from the shadows.

"What an incredible power. I never thought that after being unable to enter the Afterworld, I would gain such strength."

It was Uchiha Madara!

Due to the seal, Uchiha Madara was also unable to enter the Afterworld. Even in his ghostly form, his eyes remained in their Rinnegan state.

Moreover, he sensed a new kind of power—a power he had previously seen on Ishihara!

"Once I master this power, it will be your death day!"

Uchiha Madara muttered to himself, his gaze fixed on the ghosts nearby. He wondered if he could absorb them to strengthen himself. If he could, wouldn't his power grow exponentially?

...

The next day, Ishihara found Karin and began researching new sealing techniques.

However, little did he know that chaos was already erupting across the Shinobi World!

...

"We must expand our forces, so we need to kill more people! It doesn't matter if they're young, old, or children…"

"That's right! We'll possess those people and kill them all. That way, they'll transform into ghosts and fight alongside us!"

The ghosts began forming factions and wreaking havoc on other living beings.

...

"Gahaha! I've hated you for a long time. How dare you kill me! Was it really necessary just because I messed around with your wife?!"

"I'll kill you now, and then kill that beautiful woman of yours, too! Turning her into a ghost to serve me sounds quite fun!"

An evil-looking ghost spoke with a cruel grin. Behind him stood five ghosts he had subjugated as his followers.

Soon, the ghost used his mysterious power to drop a hammer on the ground. When the man bent down to pick it up, a scythe hanging on the wall suddenly fell! Under the guidance of this sinister force, the scythe sliced viciously into the man's head!

The man died instantly.

Thirty seconds later, as his life force completely disappeared, a ghostly figure slowly rose from his body.

The ghost who orchestrated the event began to change. His form grew larger, and a small patch of white, hardened keratin appeared on his face.

"This… power!"

Excited, he clenched his fists and then turned his gaze to the newly-formed ghost.

"You bastard! You killed me, but who knew I could still kill you back, huh? Let's see how you stop me now!"

The ghost grinned hideously. Before his opponent could react, he grabbed the new ghost by the throat.

"Don't worry. I won't kill you yet. I'll make you watch your wife die. Then, I'll turn her into my servant!"

The ghost's voice dripped with twisted excitement at the thought, sending chills down his captive's spine.

However, as despair consumed the man, something strange began to happen. A small patch of white keratin started forming on his face, gradually creating an incomplete mask.

Boom!

The man suddenly broke free of the ghost's grip and roared in fury:

"Chianzi! You bastard! I'll kill you!"

He charged at Chianzi, his fist slamming into him and dulling the color of Chianzi's form.

"What are you all standing around for? Stop him!"

Chianzi shouted, ordering his followers to intervene. However, it was useless!

The new ghost swatted them aside effortlessly. One follower was struck so hard that his soul was completely shattered, leaving him with no chance of entering the Afterworld.

At that moment, a man appeared—Uchiha Madara!

"Fascinating. So, you don't only grow stronger by devouring others. When your emotions reach a breaking point, a mask starts forming on your face?"

Madara smiled as he casually caught the new ghost's punch with his left hand and grabbed Chianzi with his right hand.

Without warning, Madara opened his mouth and swallowed Chianzi whole.

The sight left the new ghost stunned—this guy had actually swallowed Chianzi!

"Now, let me see what happens if I remove your mask!"

Madara's gaze shifted to the new ghost. At that moment, the ghost felt his very soul trembling!
