Konoha's front camp on the border of the Grass Country.
Yeruashi did not explore the Rain Country after the destruction of the Sunagakure group, even though he was worried about Rinnegan, but now was not the time to do so.
After all, Uchiha Madara was still alive and watching over the ninja world, and Nagato was definitely under his supervision, Yeruashi didn't want to enter so early into the plans Madara had of the ninja world.
"It's you, looks like everything went well."
Orochimaru, who was studying something in the tent, turned to Yeruashi, who walked in and looked at the sword hanging from his waist with a smile.
Yeruashi nodded and said, "Your information was completely accurate, sensei."
Orochimaru stared at the Kusanagi Sword and said, "Can you show me the Kusanagi Sword?"
Yeruashi took out the Kusanagi Sword and handed it to Orochimaru.
Orochimaru looked at the Kusanagi Sword with interest for a few moments, then he poured a chakra strand and brandished it a couple of times, "No problem, it's actually a Chokutō Sword."
Yeruashi asked, "How many Kusanagi Swords are there?"
Kusanagi Sword is the name not only of a specific blade, but also of a whole group of blades.
He already assumed that this blade belonged to Sasuke in the original story, and Orochimaru's words completely confirmed this assumption.
Orochimaru handed the Kusanagi Blade to Yeruashi and said, "According to legend, there were a total of eleven Kusanagi Blades, but eight of them were lost and only three remained. It is not known how true the legend is, but one thing is for sure, there are now only three Kusanagi Blades."
"They are the Kusanagi-Chokutō sword, as well as my Kusanagi sword and the Kusanagi-Totsuka sword.
Orochimaru's answer didn't surprise Yeruashi, because he already knew that, he just wanted to make sure that there are no other Kusanagi swords, except the ones shown in the original.
Orochimaru continued, "You have already seen my Kusanagi sword, it has the ability to freely change the length of the blade, according to the owner's will."
"Your Chokutō Sword is very strong and sharp, and very suitable for using chakra flow, basically adapting to most ninjutsu."
"The last one is the Totsuka Sword, also known as the Sakegari no Tachi Sword, according to known information, it has the ability to seal, everything it passes through will be sealed..."
All this information was already known to Yeruashi.
His fingers glided smoothly over the blade of the sword.
Among the three Kusanagi swords, the sealing sealing ability of the Totsuka sword may pose a threat to him, and the ability of Orochimaru's Kusanagi sword is quite unusual, but it is the Chokutō sword that suits him the most.
Yeruashi felt it during the battle with Pakura, the Chokutō sword's ability to conduct lightning nature chakra is greater than the white light chakra sword!
(The white light chakra sword is the real name of the sword used by Hatake Sakumo, which was later inherited by Yeruashi and broke in his first battle against the Iwagakure advance party.)
The degree of driving can be determined by estimating the amount of chakra loss.
If you fill an ordinary kunai with the chakra of the lightning attribute, then due to the terrible quality of the metal, the lightning will show no more than thirty percent of its original power.
On the other hand, the white light chakra sword cannot show more than eighty percent of the chakra of the lightning attribute, such efficiency is already comparable to the direct release of a ninjutsu.
But the Chokutō sword is even better!
The conductivity of the lightning attribute chakra can reach ninety percent! Losses are minimal!!!
Therefore, even though his Kenjutsu was affected due to the change of sword, he could still use the flaming cut.
The kenjutsu was partially affected, but the chakra conductivity increased, so the blade change didn't even cause a short-term decrease in strength.
"So that's how it is..."
Although Yeruashi already knew the information Orochimaru had shared with him, but thus showed some surprise.
Orochimaru smiled as he said, "The Chokutō sword goes well with your attack methods, but you may have to make some changes to the Hatake Kenjutsu..."
Yeruashi nodded and said, "Yes, the transition from a short blade to a long blade is a bit awkward, but overall, it's still the same type of weapon, it won't be hard to make some changes."
The change from a short sword to a long sword means only a change in the length of the blade, it is not a transition to a completely different type of weapon, such as a hammer or a staff.
So Yeruashi doesn't have to abandon his past experience in Hatake Kenjutsu, he just needs to make some small changes.
"I'm sure with your talent, it won't take long to improve Hatake Kenjutsu."
Orochimaru nodded and said, "Nothing else happened during the trip to the Rain Country?"
It was just a random question...
Because according to the time Yeruashi had returned, the trip should have been very smooth and no accidents had occurred.
However, after asking this question, Orochimaru noticed that Yeruashi was lost in thought and only spoke after a few seconds, "Well, this..."
A few moments later.
Orochimaru stared dumbfounded at the pile of metal tablets lying on the table.
After throwing all the metal plates on the table, Yeruashi stretched out his hands towards Orochimaru and said, ".... That's approximately the situation."
The tent was silent.
The minds of the two Jounins of Konoha were blank.
At first glance, there are about a hundred metal plates, if they aren't fake, it turns out.... Yeruashi single-handedly killed about a hundred ninjass from Sunagakure?!
Even if it was just Genins, a number like that is still terrifying.
"...If the actual circumstances really match your judgment, then this time your merits are even greater than in the last battle!"
Orochimaru quickly pulled himself away from the fright and calmly said.
To single-handedly destroy an enemy team that was going to carry out a secret attack on Konoha's frontline camp, just based on this alone, Yeruashi can already be considered a hero!
Yeruashi simply shook his head, showing no pride or haughtiness or anything of the sort and said, "It's just a coincidence."
To him, military exploits don't matter, only the increase in personal strength is really important.
"Ah, I almost forgot..."
Yeruashi remembered something and handed Orochimaru a scroll, "I took a blood sample from a ninja who had an enhanced Kekkei Genkai Shakuton, sensei should be pleased."
Previously, Orochimaru would have shown great interest in this Kekkei Genkai, but since learning of Yeruashi's Kekkei Genkai, his desire to explore other Kekkei Genkai has diminished considerably.
But he still has a habit of collecting unusual specimens.
Shakuton's blood was one of the missing specimens.
"Very well done, I will report the situation to Konoha."
Orochimaru accepted the scroll with a smile and said, "By the way, I recently received an order from the Hokage, you must immediately go to Konoha's front camp, located at the border of the Wind Country."
Yeruashi shrugged helplessly, "Ah, I really didn't have time to rest, and again I have a place to go..."
This order did not surprise him at all.
Unless Minato would show all his skills and sweep through the Sunagakure ranks, inflicting many casualties, the situation at the border would probably remain stagnant and Hiruzen would send him there.
In fact, Yeruashi wanted to temporarily leave the battlefield and spend some time training quietly, but such an act in wartime without a proper order would be tantamount to deserting, so far he had no desire to leave Konoha.
On the one hand, for Kakashi, Kurenai and the others.
On the other hand, now in the ninja world, with the exception of the elder Uchiha Madara, only Minato can truly threaten him, the combination of Shiki Fujin and Hiraishin can bring great trouble.
Moreover, some of his plans are related to Konoha.
"You destroyed a large group of Sunagakure ninja and you have every right to rest, just calmly wait for further instructions from Konoha."
Orochimaru spoke with a smile as he put the scroll away.
Yeruashi nodded gratefully and said, "Then I will go and rest."
During this trip, he didn't sleep at all and now he wanted to rest properly.
