Chapter 61
Neiki stood at the mountain peak, gazing at the forest below.
This land, located in the northern part of the Land of Waves island, was once a treacherous swamp due to seawater erosion. Perpetually shrouded in thick fog, it was an uninhabited, dangerous place rarely visited by locals.
However, after Neiki's transformation, the swamp was filled and leveled. The persistent fog was dissipating, and many tall trees grew almost overnight, turning the once perilous swamp into a vibrant forest.
This is the location of the newly established ninja village in the Land of Waves—Hidden Sword Village.
Though humble, the locals of the Land of Waves saw it differently. The overnight transformation of the swamp into a forest was nothing short of a miracle.
The mountain is not high, but its spiritual essence lies within.
Under such a lens, the simple and primitive style of Hidden Sword Village, even down to a single stone, exudes a return-to-nature charm.
From bartenders in island taverns to sailors at the docks and farmers in the fields, the miraculous tale of Hidden Sword Village spread rapidly throughout the Land of Waves.
Driven by curiosity and a longing for this mysterious power, thousands of people gathered around the forest daily.
