Naruto: Creating Immortal Techniques at Six, Shocking Uncle Snake

Chapter 183: The Ghost Driven Mad by Ishihara's Research

"The ninja world is in chaos again. And it seems like the One-Tail is about to break free?"

In a cave, Black Zetsu muttered to himself, realizing that no one could be entirely relied upon.

Not even Uchiha Madara. After all, he had even retrieved Madara's corpse.

He had tried to use Danzo, controlling him to perform the Reanimation Jutsu to resurrect Madara.

However, to his surprise, it was completely ineffective.

This greatly frustrated Black Zetsu. Now, he had severed ties with Obito.

But should he return to Obito now?

If he did that, Obito would definitely hold a grudge against him.

Shaking his head, Black Zetsu considered his options. For now, the only card he had left was Danzo.

There was no way he could resurrect his mother by himself.

Relying on Uchiha Madara or Obito also seemed impractical.

For a moment, Black Zetsu felt conflicted, but he quickly abandoned his thoughts.

"Forget it. I'll just go back to Obito."

Ultimately, Black Zetsu decided to seek out Obito again.

Hiding his intentions a little longer wouldn't hurt—he had done so for so many years already.

He just needed to keep up the act!

Before long, Black Zetsu brought Madara's corpse and found Obito.

"Huh?! Black Zetsu, you finally showed up. Why did it take you so long to find me?"

Uchiha Obito spoke with obvious dissatisfaction. If he didn't need this guy to rebuild his army,

he might not have even bothered with him.

How could Black Zetsu take so long to find him?

"I was searching for Uchiha Madara's body, so it took some time. Besides, it seems like the Sage of Six Paths doesn't want the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan to happen…"

Black Zetsu spoke, hoping that this statement would divert Obito's attention.

As expected, Obito, the dedicated zealot, froze for a moment before flaring up in anger.

"The Sage of Six Paths? How dare he! The Infinite Tsukuyomi is meant to rid the ninja world of the suffering caused by war. Does he want the world to remain in chaos forever? Doesn't he understand the horrors of war? Rin…"

As Obito spoke, tears began to stream from his eyes. He thought of Rin.

If not for the war, Rin wouldn't have died!

At this thought, Obito felt his very soul tremble. The Infinite Tsukuyomi had to become a reality!

He had to create a world where Rin existed!

"Find the location where the One-Tail is about to be reborn, and also help me identify some powerful ninjas. Even if they're ghosts, I don't care. I just need strength.

At the very least, they need to be Kage-level."

Obito gave his orders. If he could build the Akatsuki once, he could build another organization again!

Meanwhile, after forcing Blue Forest to retreat, Jin reunited with his companions, though he had a new goal.

"I'm going to leave the village for a while. Don't worry, I'll check back from time to time. Also, I'll use the village as my base and start clearing out these ghosts."

Jin explained his plan to his companions. He had vowed to himself to kill every last ghost.

Now that he had the strength, it was time to fulfill his promise.

"Go, Jin. We understand how you feel."

"Yeah, Jin. If anyone can bring an end to this chaotic world, it's you!"

"Go, Jin. Carry the will of everyone in the village and destroy all those ghosts!"

...

Thus, Jin embarked on his path of slaying ghosts.

He might not have been strong at first, but the power of his Zanpakutō's feedback allowed him to grow stronger with each ghost he slew!

Elsewhere, Ishihara, who was researching ghosts in his laboratory, was unaware that most of the ghosts in the ninja world were starting to mutate.

They had discovered that with a deep enough obsession, they could manifest masks on their faces!

These masks greatly enhanced their strength.

Among them, Uchiha Madara directly attained Six Paths-level strength because of this.

"So this is power. With the mask's augmentation, my strength is almost on par with when I was the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki!

If Hashirama possessed this kind of power, just how strong would he be?

I'm so curious. If Hashirama and I could fight with this power, wouldn't that be amazing?"

Madara clenched his fists, relishing the rush of power surging through his body.

He even thought he might be able to kill Ishihara with this strength!

...

"How strange. I can't figure out the principles behind this guy's Ghost Domain at all. All I know is that it creates a space similar to Kamui's dimension. But it seems to be a space that's dependent on the ninja world's existence?"

Ishihara pondered aloud. Meanwhile, the ghost before him weakly whispered:

"Kill me. Just kill me. Please don't torture me anymore."

"Kill you? Don't be ridiculous. You're a precious research specimen. Now, open your Ghost Domain again. I suggest you don't make me angry."

Faced with this threat, the ghost could only feebly activate its Ghost Domain.

After all, disobedience would lead to even worse consequences.

"Ghost… Domain… Activate…"
