Chapter 166: Ghosts Unable to Enter the Afterworld!
Although Sasuke cannot train like Naruto using the Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu, he can train his ocular techniques while lying in bed!
As long as he keeps his Sharingan activated, uses it repeatedly, and exhausts his ocular power and chakra time and again, his abilities will grow stronger!
In Konoha, Naruto and Sasuke are not the only ones working hard.
Might Guy is undergoing intense rehabilitation training. Though he used the Eight Gates Release Formation, with Tsunade's full support, his life was saved.
Tsunade is even researching a completely new medical method—replacing Might Guy's leg!
After being returned to Konoha by Uchiha Itachi, Kakashi has also begun rigorously training his sword techniques.
"Obito, I will definitely bring you back to Konoha!"
Swish swish swish!
Three shurikens were thrown out by Kakashi. In the next instant, he used the Body Flicker Technique to arrive at the position where the shurikens were about to fall.
Clang clang clang!
Thud!
The three shurikens were struck down by Kakashi with his short sword. Then, drawing a longsword with his left hand, he slashed forward violently.
Instantly, the large tree in front of him was split cleanly in half.
"Not fast enough. I need to be even faster!"
Kakashi muttered in dissatisfaction. He needed his speed to surpass the dynamic vision of the Sharingan.
Only then could he increase his odds of winning when he next fought Uchiha Obito.
Furthermore, he was developing new jutsu, as he needed a powerful enough technique to break through Susanoo.

"Finally recovered. Time to find Black Zetsu. He should no longer be with the Akatsuki, right?"
After a week, Uchiha Obito's injuries had healed.
Clenching his fist, he decided to locate Black Zetsu and have him help recruit more powerful subordinates.
"Kamui!"

"No matter how many people rise up in determination, it's useless. Soon, I will become the Grim Reaper.
At that time, my power will surpass everyone else. What will you do then?"
In his palace, the Sage of Six Paths watched the events unfolding in the ninja world.
Although he was somewhat concerned about Ishihara breaking the seal and entering the Afterworld, a new problem was soon to arise in the ninja world.
After sealing off the Afterworld, the souls of the dead had nowhere to go. They became vengeful, wandering spirits.
The Sage of Six Paths stroked his beard and laughed.
He believed these lost souls would surely cause trouble for Ishihara.
After all, he had already hinted at this to those beings!
---
"Alright, I've fully grasped medical ninjutsu and even learned a new Sage Art."
A pure golden light radiated from Ishihara's right hand—this was a healing sage technique he had developed by studying medical ninjutsu.
Light Healing Technique—as long as someone wasn't dead, they could basically be saved.
With this Light Healing Technique, Ishihara finally dared to experiment on Karin.
"Alright then, I'll call Karin over tomorrow."
"Hehehehe, you're the one who trapped us here, aren't you?!"
"Hahaha, damn you! But soon, you'll be just like us! I'll make you experience this feeling as well!"
Hearing the sudden voices, Ishihara froze, his expression stiffening as he looked around.
However, he saw nothing. Could this place really be haunted?
That didn't seem likely. But then again... ghosts, ninja, chakra, the Grim Reaper, and the Afterworld—
It wasn't completely impossible, was it?
Wait—the Grim Reaper!
Ishihara suddenly remembered the perfect way to deal with ghosts: becoming a Shinigami!
"Come forth, my Zanpakutō!"
Ishihara opened his right hand and spoke calmly. A long, slender black blade materialized in his hand.
In the next second, a Shinigami's black uniform appeared on him.
And then, more than ten ghosts materialized before his eyes!
"Who are you?"
Ishihara directly questioned them, but the ghosts snarled and charged toward him ferociously.
"Hm? Are you not afraid of death?"
Ishihara slashed his Zanpakutō toward one of the ghosts.
The blade struck its mark, stunning the other ghosts.
This was the first time they had encountered someone who could see and attack them!
"What kind of joke is this? That weapon can actually hit us?!"
"This guy... He's different from other ninja!"
"No wonder we can't leave for the Afterworld. This guy is more than just troublesome!"
"Run! Go call more people! As long as we kill him, we can escape this place!"
The ghost struck by the Zanpakutō dissolved into glimmers of starlight and vanished.
"Did I... just kill it? Without a Soul Society, it seems they cease to exist entirely?"
Ishihara stared at the dispersing ghost, falling into brief contemplation.
Why did it feel like the entire ninja world was turning into a realm of Shinigami?
"No, wait—they didn't die. They seem to have gone to the Afterworld?!"
Ishihara exclaimed in realization.
It seemed he had discovered another way to reach the Afterworld.
His gaze fell on the remaining ghosts.
Whether or not he could enter the Afterworld now depended on them!
