Naruto: I am Ninja World Ghost Story, who are you?

Itachi Uchiha didn't trust the Navy and held tightly to Sasuke's shoulder. However, Sasuke ignored Itachi's 'good intentions', forcibly pried his hand off, and quickly ran to Smoker's side.

After confirming Sasuke's safety, Smoker immediately knelt down and asked, "Kid, were you kidnapped by them?"

Sasuke was about to say yes, but for some reason, he froze, because he thought that this old man was probably no match for this group of people.

Now, Itachi Uchiha's strength alone is already terrifying. Sasuke, who accepted Itachi's teachings and tried hard to learn how to kill Itachi, found that his strength was simply incomparable to Itachi's!

"No."

Smoker nodded slightly and placed Sasuke behind him. He had just touched Sasuke's body; it was very sturdy and didn't seem to have been abused. Moreover, Sasuke had good eyesight and was well-suited to become a Marine.

This is much better than those guys in front of me, none of whom have a normal look in their eyes.

"Let's leave it at that for now."

"I am Captain Smoker, the naval commander stationed in this town. If you need anything, just go to the town's naval headquarters and give me your name."

Orochimaru nodded slightly: "It's a pleasure to cooperate with you."

He was very relieved that Sasuke was leaving, because only in this way could Sasuke grow stronger faster, instead of gradually losing his fighting spirit under Itachi's pressure...

He had long seen that Itachi was not suitable to teach Sasuke because Itachi was not ruthless enough to Sasuke. Or rather, Itachi's ruthlessness only made Sasuke resent him, which was completely different from making Sasuke a ruthless person.

Therefore, by training the Navy, they might be able to acquire the Six Powers used by the Navy members during the Marineford War, or even the Haki known as the Three Colors of Conqueror's Haki!

Orochimaru wasn't worried about Sasuke being killed by the Navy. His training of Sasuke was an investment and a gamble; if he succeeded, he'd have everything; if he lost, he wouldn't lose anything. He could simply find a Devil Fruit to research—who knows, he might even discover how to create one...

Two days later.

After discussions among the four major powers, it was decided that each country would send its own representatives to resolve the issue together.

Meanwhile, Onoki of the Land of Earth announces his retirement, and Kurotsuchi becomes the Fourth Tsuchikage. Onoki decides to travel to the ghost story game with his granddaughter Kurotsuchi, intending to confront his fear of death.

After the ghost story game ends, I will try to travel to another world.

As for why it was an experiment, it was because Onoki wasn't sure if he harbored any resentment towards Uchiha Fuyuki...

The Fourth Raikage of Kumogakure gritted his teeth and decided to send Killer Bee and his team of three.

Gritting his teeth was because of Killer Bee...

Killer Bee said that he also needed to improve his strength, and now there was a good opportunity.

So the Fourth Raikage gritted his teeth and agreed.

Kirigakure dispatched the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, Haku, who has trained to the point of being comparable to an elite Jonin, and Chojuro, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, who possesses the Water-Water Fruit.

Konoha sent Tsunade and Kurenai Yuhi instead.

Since Pakura wasn't participating, Uchiha Rei and Uchiha Izumi were responsible for keeping watch, while Hancock didn't want to get involved in the ninja world's troubles and just wanted to set off as soon as possible...

The main problem is that she wasn't confident on her own.

Despite her seemingly strong and domineering exterior, the empress is actually a vulnerable girl at heart; she cries and feels fear too...

She feared returning to her own world and hearing that Amazon Lily and her sisters had all died because of her...

But to everyone's surprise, Amegakure also sent a representative.

The Jonin of Amegakure, Konan, the user of Paper Release and the Paper-Paper Fruit, and a female version of Yahiko and Sasori.

The Akatsuki organization no longer exists. Instead, it has been transformed into a combat department within Amegakure called the Akatsuki Division. Yahiko is the head of the division, and Sasori and Deidara are the deputy heads. This way, the two of them are not directly involved in Amegakure's affairs, which is acceptable.

The leader of Amegakure remains Nagato, and the deputy leader is Konan.

Sasori came here this time intending to test the String-String Fruit. At the same time, without the Third Kazekage, his strength was actually weakened, but Nagato did not look down on him because of this. Instead, he funded Sasori's research and development of mechanized industry.

Furthermore, Nagato had discussed this with Kakashi, and the results so far are quite good.

But Sasori saw a glimmer of hope to become stronger and couldn't resist joining the fray, hoping to gain power and live up to Nagato's high regard for him, who possessed the Rinnegan.

"Since you are all here, I wish you all good luck."

Shikaku, Ao, and the others, representing the four countries, stood above the port on the coast of the Land of Fire and waved to a few people standing on a small ship in front of them.

If it hadn't been discovered that nothing would happen if they didn't land on the ships, it's unlikely that teams from different countries could have been formed to set off together.

Upon discovering that Sunagakure was absent, and that Sunagakure had not even sent anyone, the representatives of the four countries outwardly showed no resentment, but in reality, they all harbored secret hatred towards each other and were even preparing to isolate the Land of Wind.

On the ship, the participants in the dungeon discussed in hushed tones how dangerous the dungeon was.

Tsunade had never trained with swords or sabers, relying more on her fists. "Since he's a swordsman... can I defeat him with my fists?"

Upon hearing this, Kurotsuchi offered his opinion: "Each instance can actually be solved with just strength, so we shouldn't need to practice swordsmanship, right?"

"I think so too." Onoki sat on the high steps of the ship's deck, looking out over the sea, constantly on guard for any potential enemies.

"I see... Konan, do you want to come with us? After this ghost story game, Tsunade and I have decided to go to another world." Kurenai Yuhi leaned against the ship's deck armrest behind her, looking at the hesitant Konan.

The female version of Yahiko couldn't help but pat Konan on the back, trying to say in a cheerful tone, "Konan, don't worry about us, Nagato is still here, what are you afraid of!"

He knew that Konan was no longer the Konan of the past; what she cared about now was whether he and Nagato could protect Amegakure.

Xiao Nan did not object to his decision to participate in the mission this time.

The main reason was that Konan was worried that Amegakure's current strength was insufficient. If Obito Uchiha and his powerful group suddenly returned to retaliate, she wouldn't be able to stop them while she was away, and could only collect their bodies...

Therefore, Yahiko was even more unwilling to see this scene, so he rejected Nagato's persuasion and firmly chose to join this dungeon to enhance his strength.

As for love...

He sighed inwardly and looked down at his towering chest, which obscured his vision and prevented him from seeing his feet.

He's no longer a man!

Moreover, there was another reason why he wanted to slip away.

That's because Nagato's eyes are really strange! He always feels like he's losing his chastity if he's left alone in Amegakure without Konan or any real strength.

He'd rather his brother had kunai stabbed him than that thing...

The ship sailed slowly, and the group split into several small groups, discussing various matters in hushed tones.

More than ten hours passed quickly, and the sky turned from day to night. There was a lot of invisible white fog spreading on the sea surface.

The ship arrived at the central area where the Land of Water and the Land of Fire meet.

This oddly shaped small boat requires one person to drive, several people to watch the wind direction from the footboard, and then one person to go to the wheelhouse to inform the scorpion boat if it has deviated from its course.

The driver is naturally a scorpion who loves machinery.

Omoi, Karui, and Killer Bee were responsible for watching the wind direction.

At night, Killer Bee chewed on his dry rations, his sunglasses reflecting the moonlight on the sea.

Just then, the sunglasses suddenly reflected a dim candlelight.

Appearing like a green ghost, a coffin was found on the small boat.

"This is?"

"Oh no! Enemies! Damn it!" With Killer Bee's shout, everyone on the platform below abandoned their conversation and their appetite, and rushed to the handrails on the deck to look up.

Omoi immediately went to the cockpit below to inform Scorpion of the news and asked him to stop.

At that moment, Kurenai Yuhi raised her fist and unleashed a fiery punch into the sky: "Illuminating Flame Fist!"

boom!

The orange-red flames that burst forth in the sky startled the sleeping man in the coffin.

Only then did everyone realize that the ship's hull was shaped like a coffin, and there was a man half-lying on the deck inside the coffin, carrying a strange black greatsword on his back.

"Members of the assessment and trial? Interesting." Jorah Mihawk slightly opened his eagle-like eyes.

At the same time, the rules representing the "Sword Master" legend emerge.

[Introduction: This is a great swordsman who prefers to work alone. Your task is to pass his sword test.]

Rule 1: Dungeons cannot be cleared using strength alone.

(Note: During battle, the strange creatures will automatically increase their combat power by one level higher than yours.)

Rule 2: This is a one-on-one trial.

(Note: If you try to team up to challenge this monster, you will anger it and it will attack you with all its might. In this case, you will only be able to pass the level by surviving the longest.)

[Rule 3: Challenges must be made using a sword or knife; all other methods are considered provocations and will immediately trigger the survival time mode.]

Rule 4: Ships are very obstructive, and the other side will not allow you to stand on a ship to watch the battle.

After scanning the rules, the crew on the ship immediately realized what was happening, and the green sword light that Mihawk raised his hand to unleash came straight at them!

"Holy crap! Lord Sasori, run!" The female version of Yahiko yelled at Sasori in the cockpit. Sasori, who had just stopped the ship, hadn't even had time to catch his breath and check the rules when he found that the world in front of him had changed.

boom! ! !

The ship was instantly cleaved in two by the sword energy. Scorpion, looking bewildered, crawled out of the water, still holding half of the ship's steering wheel in his hand...

This scene seems so familiar...

Chapter 128, Section 126: When Brother, Husband, and Father Become...

After placing half of the ship's rudder on the sea surface, Sasori used chakra to climb up and stand on the sea like the others, gazing at the coffin ship not far away.

"They actually want us to duel with swords and knives? This is really putting a puppeteer in a difficult position." Scorpion was a bit dumbfounded after reading the rules. How could a puppeteer like him know how to use swords and knives?

"I don't know either..." Kurotsuchi said helplessly.

"Do you think kunai will work?" the female version of Yahiko muttered under her breath.

"I hope we can write them all down." Xiao Nan sighed softly.

"Then this dungeon will be left to the Cloud Village kid and the Mist Village kid. I won't compete with you." When Onoki saw that the rules stated that the opponent would be one level higher than him, he immediately realized that he couldn't win this dungeon by sheer strength.

white:......

Yagura Karatachi: ......

We don't play with knives and swords!

At this moment, everyone's attention in the instance couldn't help but be drawn to the five who were actually wielding swords.

Killer Bee scratched his cheek, feeling that this was the first time he had ever been this important.

"Just leave it to Grandpa Bi to handle! You bastard, you idiot~"

"Teacher..." The three disciples covered their faces.

After observing the rules, Tsunade couldn't help but remind her, "The rules state that only swords can be used; do not use other means to attack."

"Sugata. Can I use the tailed beast chakra then?"

"can."

A deep, magnetic male voice rang out. Killer Bee was still wondering whose voice it was when he noticed everyone looking ahead in surprise.

Mihawk crossed his arms: "Kunai are fine, I'm open to any defensive method, but offensive methods can only be bladed weapons."

How arrogant this statement is! He was facing the most powerful team in the current ninja world.

But no one dared to underestimate the other side, because the rules were clearly written...

Rule 1: Dungeons cannot be cleared using strength alone.

(Note: During battle, the strange creatures will automatically increase their combat power by one level higher than yours.)

This is not a level that can be cleared by skill alone!

Upon hearing this, Killer Bee gasped and jotted down an inspiration in his notebook.

"The invincible swordsman accepts any challenge..."

"good."

clack.

After rapping a few lines, Kirabi closed the notebook and put it back in his pocket.

He walked forward and came to the sea about fifty meters away from the ship.

"I'll be your opponent! Yeah!"

With the final sound, a tailed beast cloak appeared on his body with a gurgling sound, and at the same time, he threw out seven ninja swords that spun gently in the air before catching them all.
