Chapter 225 Just a Fart
More than twenty Japan Ninjas had blocked the entrance of the cave. Their leader was the Japanese samurai called Yamamoto Kusakara.
A young ninja asked respectfully, âLord Jonin, weâve waited for five days. Is it possible that those sneaky Huaxia people have died in there?â
Yamamoto Kusakara answered, âI donât think so. Theyâve got powerhouses and that was why we were led here. People like them wonât die easily.â
âIs it possible that they have sneaked out of the cave after getting the treasures?â
Yamamoto Kusakara said, âThatâs even more unlikely. Ancient cultivators in Huaxia were extremely powerful. They built no other exits to retreat except for the cave entrance. You donât need to worry about whether theyâve already sneaked away.â
âBut theyâve been in there for more than five days but nothing seems to happen. Does that seem normal to you?â
âYes, it is. Huaxia people built very complicated caves, which contain all kinds of formations and defensive mechanisms. A person intruding without knowing of this would definitely end up dead. They may be trying to break the formations, or be trapped somewhere. In one word, no worries. Theyâll get out sooner or later.â
Yamamoto Kusakara seemed proud when he said that, âThat was why we drew those people from the Xuanyuan Pavilion here, to take the lead. Weâll be injured if we go in there directly, and then we wouldnât be as safe as now.
âThatâs how we can minimize losses and at the same time get the treasures. The Huaxia people could never imagine that they are doing all of this for us, the Japanese samurai. As the old saying in Huaxia goes, itâs called âsit idle and enjoy the fruits of othersâ workâ.â
âYouâre truly a man of rare gifts and bold strategy.â
The young ninja clearly knew that this superior of his was a quite the pretentious one, so he couldnât wait to flatter him.
At the same time, another ninja who had been watching at the entrance ran over and reported, âYour Lordship, we heard something happening in the cave.â
âGreat! Finally, theyâre coming out!â
Yamamoto Kusakara said excitedly, âEverybody, man your posts! Donât let these Huaxia people get away. All their treasures shall be ours.â
When Qin Haodong and the others were getting out of the cave, they saw the Japanese people filling the entrance.
All the peopleâs expressions changed, including Hu Xiaoxianâs. They had met a lot of Japanese people as members of the special department, and they immediately recognized that these were the most powerful ninjas in Japan. They knew why those people were there. Apparently, they wanted to enjoy the fruits of othersâ work.â
However, that didnât seem to bother Qin Haodong at all. He checked Yamamoto Kusakara and said with satire, âWhat are you doing? Are you here to welcome us?â
A young ninja came forward and yelled, âYou dumb Huaxia people. Soon youâll be dead.â
Yamamoto Kusakara waved his hand to make the young ninja step back, and then he said proudly, âAllow me to introduce myself. Iâm Yamamoto Kusakara, a Jonin from Japan. Weâve been waiting for you here for a long time.â
âYamamoto Kusakara, heâs Yamamoto Kusakara!â
Lei Tianrui and the others jittered. They had done enough research to know more about their enemy. Yamamoto Kusakara was one of them. He was not on the top list of the powerhouses in Japan, but he had already reached the third level of Covert Power.
As for them, Lei Tianrui was at the first level of Covert Power; Hu Xiaoxian was more powerful than him, but she was at no higher than the second level. Qin Haodong might be the old manâs match, but there were so many threatening chunins watching them; all of them had reached the ninth level of Overt Power. The situation had turned bad for them.
Yamamoto Kusakara seemed even prouder when he saw the change in their expressions. He laughed out loud and said, âYou must have heard about me. Then why donât you hand out the treasures to us? Maybe Iâll spare you if Iâm happy.â
âIâll hold the old man for you. You go take Xiaoxian and the treasures. Remember, the treasures of Huaxia can never end up in the hands of the Japanese.â
After Lei Tianrui said that, he took his fellows and strode to Yamamoto Kusakara.
Qin Haodong was surprised because he had never expected the patriotic and upright side of the selfish and ungrateful man. He would never believe the man would sacrifice himself when facing the Japanese.
At the same time, Lei Tianrui yelled, âYamamoto Kusakara, why have you come to Huaxia, so freely and easily?â
âFreely and easily?â Yamamoto Kusakara smiled arrogantly, and then he said, âItâs neither free nor easy at all. Weâve planned for long, or how did the intelligence department of Huaxia get the map? It was because we gave it to you on purpose!â
âWhat? You gave them the map?â
Le Tianrui was so surprised. While Qin Haodong had already seen that coming after he met the Devilish Five, but it had never occurred to him that the Japanese were backing them up.
âOf course, the piece of paper youâre holding is a copy, and Iâve got the real one now.â Yamamoto Kusakara said and looked as if he was sure to win. He didnât start the fight, but instead, he took out a piece of old sheepskin map. Then he asked, âSee?â âThis is the map I got.â
Qin Haodong glanced at the sheepskin map in Yamamoto Kusakaraâs hands. It looked old, but dating one to two hundred years old at most, which was not exactly when Situ Zhaixing passed away.
That might have come from an intruding cultivator or an adventurer, who entered after Situ Zhaixingâs death. He made the map because he had been blocked by the formations, and by coincidence, the map had been transported to Japan.
Yamamoto Kusakara continued, âDid it ever occur to you why would Japanese people give you the map after they got it?â
âThe reason was simple. I tried a few times but failed to break the formations at the entrance. The formations set by the Huaxia people could only be broken by the Huaxia people. So I thought about it, and made a trick to entice you to work for me here.â
âWe had been following you along your way here, while you were clueless about it. As the old saying of Huaxia goes, youâre the mantis stalking the cicada, without noticing the oriole behind.â
He laughed out loud after he said that; he seemed to be so satisfied with what he had done.
Lei Tianrui said, âI donât think youâve figured out whoâs the mantis and whoâs the oriole. Huaxia is our place, and itâs no place for you people to make a mess.â
Yamamoto Kusakara said, âIâve got another quote from Huaxia, that is âa wise man submits to fateâ. Can you tell that youâve been surrounded now? Youâre no match of us in power.â
âListen to me; youâve completed your mission. Now hand over the treasures to us, I can spare your life.â
Lei Tianrui said, âYamamoto Kusakara, youâve been fooled. The map is a fake. The cave did belong to a cultivator, but it has nothing in it now. Thereâs no treasure as you would have expected.â
âAre you taking me as a fool?â
Yamamoto Kusakaraâs facial expression changed drastically after the big laugh. He said fiercely, âHand me the treasures now and Iâll spare your life. Or weâll have to search for them on your dead body.â
Lei Tianrui yelled. âStop that crap. Iâm here in front of you, just kill me if you can.â
He drew out his long sword and turned back; he whispered to Qin Haodong and Hu Xiaoxian, âIâll stall the old Japanese. You go now.â
He waved his sword and rushed to Yamamoto Kusakara. At the same time, Zhao Qiankun, Xie Zidan and the others roared and jumped to face those Japanese ninjas.
Yamamoto Kusakara drew out his sword and laughed. He said, âYou stupid Huaxia people. Itâs no use risking your lives sometimes. Strength matters more than anything else.â
âGo to hell!â
After Lei scolded, the sword in his hand made a sharp and graceful cut, aiming at Yamamoto Kusakaraâs throat.
âYou sick man of East Asia. Is that all youâve got?â
Yamamoto Kusakaraâs sword hacked. His strike was more overwhelming and powerful than that of Lei Tianruiâs. When the two swords clashed, Lei Tianruiâs sword had been hacked up from the middle.
âHuaxia man, youâre no match of me.â
When Lei Tianrui was hesitating, Yamamoto Kusakara jumped up and kicked heavily on his belly. Because of this, Lei Tianrui flew backwards.
The kick was extremely hard and Lei Tianrui rolled over several times in the air. Before he fell on the ground head over heels, a big hand reached out and grabbed his waist. Then he was gently dropped on the ground.
Lei Tianrui looked up and saw the man. It was Qin Haodong.
He asked angrily, âWhy are you still here? The man was a pain in the neck!â
Qin Haodong said, âWhy should we leave? It is just a couple of Japanese ninjas. Theyâre in our place, our country. They should be the ones to leave!â
While they were talking, Zhao Qiankun and the others had also been defeated. All of them were injured. Those guys at the ninth level of Overt Power could barely defeat chunins one-to-one, and they would definitely lose it if they were faced with two at once. Not to mention that the ninjas now were four or five times more than them.
Seeing that he was winning, Yamamoto Kusakara laughed out loud and said, âHowâs that? Youâre all so weak. Hand me the treasures now. You donât deserve that good stuff.â
Just as he was laughing happily, he heard a silvery voice saying, âPapa, that guy is so ugly. He looks disgusting.â
Yamamoto Kusakaraâs face changed. He looked at Qin Haodong and the daughter, and then he asked with anger, âWhat did you just say, little girl?â
âDidnât you hear me? My daughter said that you are ugly!â Qin Haodong stepped forward and said to Yamamoto with sarcasm, âYou mightâve stolen our culture, but you didnât learn it very well. How could your parents give you such a ridiculous name?â
âDo you even know what âKusakaraâ means in our Huaxia language?â âIt means nothing, nothing at all, like weightless. In one word, itâs like a fart.â
âBoy, you sick of living?â
Yamamoto Kusakara roared and raised the samurai sword in his hand; however, before he could slash down, he heard Qin Haodong said coldly, âStop yelling. Youâre so annoying.â
Soon Qin Haodong slapped heavily on Yamamoto Kusakaraâs face. He was still keeping the slashing posture while he was flying backward. He had even knocked down the other four or five ninjas.
âWhat? How is this possible?â
Lei Tianrui and his fellows were all stunned. They had just learned how powerful those ninjas were on their own, but they were like kids when being slapped by Qin Haodong. He slapped them away with one hand, because the other hand was holding his daughter.
Yamamoto Kusakara climbed off the ground and couldnât believe everything that had happened. The proud jonin was slapped on his face by a young man from Huaxia; he couldnât possibly put up with it. He raised his sword and yelled crazily, âYou Huaxia people! Iâll perish with you!â
âI think you just said itâs no use to risk lives. That it was power what mattered more.â
Qin Haodong dodged Yamamoto Kusakaraâs slashing; he lifted his foot and kicked on his belly. The kick was almost on the same spot Yamamoto had just kicked on Lei Tianrui. Yamamoto was kicked away for ten more meters.
