Chapter 255

The Sacred Island is the 255th chapter of InuYasha manga.

Synopsis

 * Inuyasha and friends have been following the scent of clean water and flowers that the golem had, hoping it will lead to Naraku. They haven't found anything yet.
 * There is an island in the middle of a lake, Hijiri Island, where the venerable monk, Hakushin, became a living Kinu_yasha_v026_c255_121.jpga. It is the village headman's job to take care of Hakushin's shrine. The group meets the village headman's son, Shintaro, who says his father left for the island half a month ago but never returned. They head out to the island on a boat with Shintaro to investigate.
 * When they arrive on the island, the ground is covered with flowers. Inuyasha says that this is the exact same scent the Naraku golem had.
 * Kirara and Shippō start to feel ill, just like they did on Mount Hakurei. A purifying barrier just like mountain, only weaker, surrounds the island. Shintaro finds his father's bones.
 * Bankotsu emerges from the shrine, calling the whole place sickening, saying it must be even worse for a half demon like Inuyasha.
