Bizarre! The Haunted Ghost Castle (Japanese: 怪奇　呪われた幽霊城, - Kaiki, norowareta yureishiro) is episode 194 of the anime series Naruto.

[edit] Plot

The episode begins with Lady Kaio and her subordinates going from the Honey Country to her Country, Red Bean. In an instant, a bright light comes from the sky and sucks them all up. Konoha learns of this and Tsunade appoints Kiba, Hinata and of course Naruto to go see what's wrong. Immediately Naruto suspects ghosts. Everyone laughs at him, but of course in the end, Naruto turns out to be right...sort of.

They're in the Honey Country when it starts to rain, and they find a huge castle in the middle of nowhere. Hinata suspects maybe Lady Kaio and her guards found the castle as well, so the three split up to look for her. Hinata finds the Library and learns fifty years earlier the castle was attacked and the people living there were killed. Hinata goes on to read that Kubisaki Kouza's, the Master of the castle, dying wish was to devour anyone who enters.

Just like that, Kiba, Hinata and Naruto are all eaten up by the castle and taken to a dungeon like corridor. They find skeletal bodies that had been devoured before them. The walls all become like the insides of a stomach, but Naruto figures it must be a spell since he had seen the same thing when Ero-sennin (Jiraiya) summoned his frog. The walls start ejecting stomach acid when the three find Lady Kaio and her guards. They can't get her out, so Kiba uses his piercing fang technique (Gatsuuga) and gets them out.

Hinata uses her Byakugan to find the scroll that Kouza used to summon the creature. Just then, out of nowhere, Kouza's spirit comes walking by and shows the three where exactly the scroll is. The group looks like they're in real danger but then finally destroy the scroll and Naruto uses Rasengan to get out. The house implodes in on itself and Lady Kaio and her guards are on the ground unconscious. It turns out Kouza was holding a grudge, but just wanted it to end after 50 years.
