Now, for Sakumo to fully unleash his current strength, he needed to integrate and develop his existing sword skills into a sword more suited to his current state.
Therefore, a strong and special sword was indispensable.
"Sakumo, you can't use an ordinary sword with your current strength and skill. How about I accompany you to find a legendary weapon as your new weapon?"
Hence, Asahi directly offered to help Sakumo find a legendary sword as his weapon.
"Thank you, Master."
Sakumo did not refuse; after a moment's hesitation, he agreed. He knew he genuinely needed a sword for his training.
Of course, with his strength, even an ordinary sword could unleash formidable power.
However, who wouldn't want a legendary weapon? For a swordsman, a good sword was crucial. Its sturdiness alone would delight any swordsman.
"In that case, let's set out." Seeing Sakumo's agreement, Asahi stood up, and dusted off his clothes, and Sakumo followed suit.
He didn't ask where they were going; less talk, more thought was his current approach.
Asahi stretched his neck, moved his body a bit, and then led Sakumo out of the desert.
At this moment, Sakumo was touched. He hadn't provided much help to Asahi, yet Asahi treated him so kindly.
It was indeed rare to find someone who truly understood him, like finding a needle in a haystack, he must somehow repay Asahi's kindness.
Of course, what Sakumo didn't know was that Asahi's assistance this time had a reason he wouldn't admit out loud.
The truth was, that training for half a year had become too oppressive and dull for Asahi. He wanted to go out and change the environment to relax.
Once they left the desert region of the Land of Wind, Asahi slowed down.
They took their time walking, and after nearly half a month, the two of them crossed a small country.
Of course, it wasn't that Asahi intentionally wanted to drag out the time.
The main reason was that Asahi didn't know where the Kusanagi Clan was.
Although he was well-versed in major events in the ninja world, something like the Kusanagi Sword, which wasn't extensively mentioned in the original work, was beyond his knowledge.
If it weren't for the Kusanagi Sword being so famous in the world of Naruto, Asahi wouldn't have known about this Clan.
Yes, Asahi's goal for this trip was the Kusanagi Sword.
If you ask what the most famous sword in the world of Naruto is, Asahi can confidently tell that is the Kusanagi Sword.
Whether it's the Sword of Kusanagi (Orochimaru), the Sword of Kusanagi (Sasuke), or even Itachi's Sword of Totsuka, they all belong to the Kusanagi Sword.
As for the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist and their seven swords, Asahi couldn't help but sneer.
Except for the Kubikiribocho, which could be considered a proper sword, the rest were just bizarre and peculiar.
However, Asahi couldn't figure out how the Kusanagi Clan, capable of creating the Kusanagi Sword, ended up in such a miserable state.
In theory, even if such a Clan couldn't match the prominent clans in the ninja world, they should still be able to hold their own against some of the secretive jutsu families.
But no, they were in a sorry state. A prestigious group like the one that created the Kusanagi Sword had surprisingly no reputation in the ninja world.
Asahi couldn't fathom how the Kusanagi Clan managed to get into such a predicament.
The most puzzling thing for him was that the Kusanagi Clan, which could produce the Kusanagi Sword, had no fame in the ninja world.
He wondered if their ancestors who crafted the Kusanagi Sword would be disappointed if they knew about this situation.
What's more, the Kusanagi Clan's struggle made things difficult for Asahi.
He had to painstakingly sense every area just to find the Kusanagi Clan. Otherwise, Asahi wouldn't be moving so slowly, right?
Luckily, Asahi's luck was not bad. After leaving the Land of Wind, in the country where Kusagakure is located, Asahi discovered the so-called Kusanagi Clan.
Of course, it wasn't because Asahi had extraordinary discernment.
The current Kusanagi Clan didn't have a single ninja.
The entire group lived in a remote mountainous area like an ordinary village.
Normally, Asahi wouldn't easily notice their differences. Perhaps he would have just glanced over them.
After all, who would have expected that the current Kusanagi Clan, possessing only two Kusanagi Swords, was just an ordinary village of common people?
It can only be said that the Kusanagi Clan had concealed themselves too well.
According to the average person's logic, a family capable of safeguarding such a treasure should be quite formidable.
After all, a weak family possessing such a valuable item would have no place to hide if even a little rumor got out.
Unfortunately, just when everyone thought so, the Kusanagi Clan went against the mainstream and went their way, directly contradicting the common beliefs.
However, it did work wonders, and the Kusanagi Clan has successfully safeguarded the remaining two Kusanagi Swords to this day.
This time, it can only be said that Asahi's luck was extraordinary.
Because in this place, he sensed a familiar chakra, that of Orochimaru! It must be said that Asahi and Orochimaru are quite fated to encounter each other—how many times has it been now?
Following the protagonist's law, could it be that Orochimaru is the protagonist of this period in the ninja world? Ahem, getting off track here.
Orochimaru's appearance piqued Asahi's curiosity, especially given the chaotic situation in the ninja world.
Orochimaru, a top force in Konoha, neither guards the village nor defends the front lines, what was he doing in this village of ordinary people?
Out of curiosity, Asahi carefully surveyed the area. This careful sensing led Asahi to discover something interesting.
Although they lacked chakra, the residents of this village were noticeably different from ordinary people.
Even though they had no chakra, these villagers had a distinctive sharp aura in their bodies, a quality that had fused with their flesh and blood.
Although still weak, it undeniably existed. With this revelation, suspicion arose in Asahi's mind.
Coupled with Orochimaru's presence, Asahi's intuition told him that these were likely the so-called Kusanagi Clan members.
After all, in the original story, Orochimaru was the owner of the Kusanagi Sword, even though it didn't explain how he obtained it.
However, who needs an explanation? Any sensible person would know how to get one.
So, with this thought, Asahi directly headed towards Orochimaru, bringing Sakumo with him.
At this moment, Orochimaru was tensed, scanning his surroundings.
As Asahi didn't conceal his sensing abilities and openly approached, Orochimaru easily detected someone observing him.
Orochimaru's power had increased rapidly recently, but it wasn't enough. Compared to Asahi's previous state, there was still a large gap,
Not to mention, now that Asahi had spent over half a year practicing with the help of the Dragon Vein, his strength was even more terrifying than before.
