The River Country was sandwiched between the Fire and Wind Countries. It had a long and narrow terrain with many hills, mountains, rivers, and forests. It was very rich in natural resources.
Coupled with a coastline that was neither too long nor too short, the economy of the River Country was quite good. If it weren't for the influence of the Fire and Wind Countries, the River Country would definitely have enough funds to establish its own Ninja Village!
In the absence of a Ninja Village, all the missions entrusted to the River Country were divided between the Fire and Wind Countries' Wood Leaf and Sand Hidden Village.
However, in the Third Shinobi World War, the Sand Hidden Village lost to the Wood Leaf. In the signed compensation agreement, the Sand Hidden Village compensated the next few years of the River Country to the Wood Leaf.
So when Cold Wind, Waterstop, and Yui rushed to the River Country, they met Wood Leaf Ninjas from time to time along the way, which diluted the tension caused by the poison.
After arriving at the River Country, Yui took Cold Wind and Waterstop straight to the coast like an experienced driver. Three days later, they arrived at an extremely hot and humid forest.
"Here it is!"
Yui looked at the dense forest in front of her calmly and said, "Let's go!"
Cold Wind and Waterstop looked at each other. Why did they feel that Yui was becoming more and more unreliable?
Cold Wind even suspected that Yui's intelligence had been affected by the plot and had begun to 'seek her own death'.
Not long after entering the forest, the three were attacked by wild beasts. Pythons, snakes, poisonous insects, man-eating ants, mosquitoes, and poisonous spiders, they didn't encounter the same kind of beasts along the way!
Clang!
After cutting a python as thick as a man's waist into two halves, Han Feng turned to look at Yuyi, who was looking left and right. With a bitter face, he asked, "Yuyi, have you found any traces of the Phosphorescent Beetle?"
"How can it be so fast?"
Yui said without looking back, "This is just one of the places where the Phosphor Worm appears. I'm not sure if I can find it here."
Cold Wind facepalmed. It wasn't that he thought it was too slow. After all, he had nothing else to do other than collect the Flying Thunder God. It didn't matter where he spent his time.
He just didn't like the environment here. There were too many poisonous creatures, and they would jump out to bite you from time to time. Cold Wind couldn't even think about life quietly.
Shisui, who was next to him, looked at the sword in Han Feng's hand in a daze. After a while, he said, "Han Feng, your sword …"
Cold Wind was startled. He lowered his head and looked at the clear blade of the Kusanagi Sword. He sighed and said, "It's just a broken sword. It's not worth the Instant Waterstop to make a fuss about."
"Then can you give me this sword?" Waterstop looked at Cold Wind faintly.
Cold Wind's expression changed. "Waterstop, you've changed! You used to be a strong man and would never ask me for anything! "
Waterstop looked down at the sword in Cold Wind's hand and didn't say anything.
"What's wrong with this sword?"
Yui walked over curiously. She looked at the sword and then at the python's body on the ground. Her eyes lit up. "It's not stained with blood?"
"If I'm not mistaken, this sword should be a Kusanagi Sword." Waterstop's eyes were filled with desire.
"A Kusanagi Sword? Isn't that a legendary artifact? "
Yui was shocked. She squatted down and looked carefully at the sword in Cold Wind's hand. She even touched the blade gently with her hand. "It looks a little brighter. It's no different from other swords."
Waterstop shook his head. "The reason why a Kusanagi Sword is a legendary artifact is that every Kusanagi Sword has an ability!"
"Ability?"
Cold Wind's eyes lit up. Yes, Itachi Uchiha's Sword of Totsuka was a Kusanagi Sword with a sealing ability. Even if his Kusanagi Sword wasn't as good as the Sword of Totsuka, it should have some ability, right?
Waterstop narrowed his eyes and recalled. "I've read about the Kusanagi Sword in the ancient books of my family. It said that every Kusanagi Sword has a different ability. Some are strong, and some are weak. The most famous one is the Sword of Totsuka. Once hit, it will be sealed into the blade. It's a legendary artifact!"
"What about mine? What about mine?"
Cold Wind certainly knew the function of the Sword of Totsuka. What he wanted to know now was the ability of the Kusanagi Sword in his hand.
Waterstop shook his head. "I don't know. This is the first time I've seen a Kusanagi Sword. But according to the ancient books, the Kusanagi Sword's ability requires Chakra to activate."
Yui stood up and looked at Cold Wind. "Cold Wind, you've had the Kusanagi Sword for so long. Haven't you discovered its ability?"
Cold Wind's face darkened. Why did it feel like Yui was scolding him?
But then again, this was all Orochi Maru's fault. He had given him the Kusanagi Sword, so why didn't he tell him the secret of the Kusanagi Sword as well?
"Why don't we give it a try?" Waterstop was a little restless.
Cold Wind nodded and immediately poured Chakra into the Kusanagi Sword. He then slashed left and right, making a mess of the forest around him. But he didn't discover any ability.
After that, Cold Wind swung the Kusanagi Sword infused with Chakra and fought with Waterstop. But after half an hour, other than the sharpness of the Kusanagi Sword, he didn't find anything special.
"Is this Kusanagi Sword fake?" Yui said ruthlessly.
Cold Wind's hand holding the Kusanagi Sword trembled. Orochi Maru, that son of a bitch, couldn't have deliberately made a fake Kusanagi Sword for him, right?
"Cold Wind, how did you become so strong?" Waterstop shook his right wrist and looked at Cold Wind with a strange expression.
If it weren't for Shisui withdrawing his strength at every critical moment, his wrist would have been broken in the exchange just now!
Cold Wind's attention was immediately attracted by Waterstop, and he quickly explained, "I've learned a forbidden technique, and I've gained the Monstrous Strength."
"Monstrous Strength? I see. "Waterstop nodded, and he didn't doubt it.
This was because Tsunade, one of the legendary Sannin, also practiced the Monstrous Strength.
If Tsunade could practice the Monstrous Strength, it wasn't surprising that Cold Wind could do the same.
"Well, let's put the Kusanagi Sword aside for now. Let's go find the Phosphor Worm." Yui said.
…
Two days later, Cold Wind, Waterstop, and Yui found nothing. They didn't even find the Phosphor Worm's eggs, let alone the Phosphor Worm.
"Don't be discouraged! This is just one of the places where the Phosphor Worm might be. Let's go to the next place! "
Yui looked indifferent, and then rushed to the next hot and humid jungle to continue the search.
"Hmm?"
Shisui, who was following behind Yui and Hankaze, suddenly jumped up to the top of a big tree, and then looked to the left. His dark eyes had turned into three tomoe Sharingan at some point.
"What's wrong?"
Cold Wind and Yui hurriedly jumped to join him.
"There's a ninja approaching!" Waterstop said.
"Is it a ninja from the village?" Cold Wind asked. They had encountered a lot of ninjas on the road before.
"No, the opponent isn't wearing a Ninja Headband. It should be a wandering ninja," Waterstop whispered.
"A wandering ninja? Coming for us? "Cold Wind raised his eyebrows," Kill him? "
"Cold Wind, you're too violent," Yui criticized.
Cold Wind shrugged and didn't speak.
While the three of them were talking, the wandering ninja appeared in front of Cold Wind and Yui.
Male, bald, one-eyed, thick eyebrows, and a somewhat stupid expression. At first glance, he didn't look like a smart person!
Waterstop waved his right hand, and a kunai with a harsh sound broke through the air, violently forcing the wandering ninja to stop.
"Who are you?" Waterstop asked coldly. He didn't look down on the wandering ninja because of his appearance.
"I'm Earth Spider, a descendant of the Wind Demon clan!" The bald man looked up at them and said, "Are you Wood Leaf Ninja?"
"Wind Demon clan?" Yui didn't understand.
"It's a very famous ninja clan during the Warring States period, but later declined. I didn't expect to meet you here," Waterstop explained in a low voice.
Cold Wind had heard of the Wind Demon clan before. He remembered that they had joined Orochi Maru in the original work, but he didn't know if they had joined him at this time.
Cold Wind's mind turned, and he said, "Earth Spider, stop asking questions you already know the answer to. Tell me your purpose!"
"In fact, this is the territory of the Wind Demon clan." Earth Spider boasted shamelessly, "You've crossed the line!"
"What should we do?" Yui looked at Cold Wind and Waterstop.
Waterstop laughed, "There is no ninja village in the Land of the River, so in this country, there is no territory that belongs to ninjas. Earth Spider, you'd better not bring trouble to the Wind Demon clan!"
Earth Spider's face darkened, "Humph, even if you are Wood Leaf Ninja, you are just three little brats, I advise you to …"
Before Earth Spider finished his words, Cold Wind's figure flashed and rushed down, "Wood Leaf – Wind Slayer!"
"Hum …"
The moment Cold Wind appeared, a light blue blade shot out from the Kusanagi sword and swung forward at an extremely fast speed.
Earth Spider stepped forward and quickly clapped his hands on the ground, "Earth Release – Earth Wall!"
"Boom!"
A stone wall suddenly rose from the ground, but in the next moment, it was shattered by the light blue blade, and it continued to slash at Earth Spider!
Earth Spider's face changed, and he immediately flashed to the side.
Then he saw more than a dozen Waterstop jumping down from the tree and besieging him.
"It's just a Body Separation Technique, don't embarrass yourself!"
Earth Spider smiled ferociously, took out a kunai and slashed the throat of one of the doppelgangers. At the same time, his eyes wandered and soon locked on to the real body, then he ignored the other doppelgangers and rushed directly to the real body.
"Puchi!"
With the sound of flesh rubbing against flesh, one of Waterstop's doppelgangers had already cut a wound on Earth Spider's back, and blood flowed out in an instant.
"How is this possible?" Earth Spider stopped in his tracks and turned to look at the doppelganger in disbelief, "You … are obviously fake!!"
"All of my doppelgangers are fake, and at the same time, all of them are real!"
Waterstop's doppelgangers spoke at the same time, and their voices converged from all directions into Earth Spider's ears.
"You … could it be?!"
Earth Spider seemed to have thought of something, and his expression gradually became frightened, "You, you are … Wood Leaf's Body Separation Waterstop?!"
"I didn't expect Waterstop's reputation to have spread to the Land of the River." Yui laughed from the tree.
Cold Wind curled his lips, "Ignorant thing, a Body Separation Waterstop scared you like this, if I turn into Yellow Flash, won't you have a bladder leak?"
Waterstop's doppelgangers aimed their kunai at Earth Spider, and were about to launch the final attack.
"Wait a minute!"
Earth Spider was a little nervous, and he hurriedly threw away his kunai, raised his hands, and shouted, "I don't want to be enemies with you, really! And no matter what you want to do, I'll cooperate with you! "
It's no wonder that Earth Spider was scared. It's just that at this time, he only has the strength of an elite Chunin. In the face of Waterstop, he's like a leek swaying in the wind. Waterstop can do whatever he wants, so if he doesn't surrender now, when will he?
