" Plot . Jay , Kai , Cole , and Zane arrive at the coastal town of Stiix and are greeted by a fisherman , who is promptly pulled into the ocean by his catch . The Red Ninja expresses his fear of water , noting that he used to be able to summon an Elemental Dragon to avoid it before . The Ninja soon locate Ronin ' s shop to search for the Airjitzu scroll , finding valuable artifacts such as the Blade Cup . They are quickly confronted with the store ' s owner himself who tries to trap them in a Vengestone net , but fails . Ronin then tries to sell them weaponry , including an Aeroblade , which can defeat ghosts . Kai inquires the price of the Airjitzu scroll which Ronin starts at 200 , though due to the Master of Fire ' s terrible negotiating skills , they agree on 450 . After they leave the shop , Ronin checks the vase where the scroll is actually hiding . At Steep Wisdom , Wu is instructing Nya in the ways of the Water Ninja at the tea shop ' s pond . Nya questions why she can ' t go help the Ninja as Samurai X , to which Wu responds by summoning his Elemental Dragon , something a samurai would be unable to do . He then explains to her how the ghosts ' only weakness is water before presenting her with the bucket test wherein one is required to fill a hole - ridden bucket with water . Meanwhile in Stiix , the Ninja find a job building a dock . Kai operates the crane , Zane keeps the Strangle Weed at bay , and Cole and Jay lay down the planks . All goes well until a fly distracts Zane and damages his language database . Through miscommunication , the Ninja end up destroying the dock . Jay decides to take charge and declares that they will steal the scroll of Airjitzu . Atop a hill overlooking Stiix , Morro summons Soul Archer to aid in the theft of the scroll . Soul Archer shoots an arrow at the village ' s entrance , promising to take what is theirs . Back at Steep Wisdom , Wu checks on Nya who has appeared to have filled the bucket , only for Wu to see she used a stopper . He tells her to try again , saying to " go with the flow and find where you ' re weak , " which sets her off , kicking the bucket into the pond and leave ranting that she ' s not a Water Ninja . Misako , watching the whole thing , states the day was a waste but Wu states he found Nya ' s weakness : feeling weak . He goes on saying while Nya is good at many things , she gives up when put in a position to fail . In addition , her temper has caused her to not even realize she filled the bucket , due to it being underwater . In Stiix , Jay tells the team his plan ; steal the scroll back from Ronin , use it to learn Airjitzu and return it to the library . Leading the group on using stealth ( after Jay falls into a woman ' s house ) , they reach the shop where Ronin encounters Soul Archer and claims he thought he had more time . Soul Archer states he ' ll return for his debt and pushes Ronin towards Morro , who the mercenary mistakes for Lloyd . Morro asks for the scroll , though Ronin tries to get him to sell his armor . Morro holds him up , though hears the Ninja and tells Soul Archer to hide and take the scroll when they find it while he ties up Ronin . As they search , Cole decides to steal back the Blade Cup for his father while Soul Archer trap Jay with an organ ' s pipes . Cole throws a water jug , causing Soul Archer to release the Blue Ninja . Morro reveals himself and releases multiple ghosts . Kai then uses an Aeroblade and throws more to the others once he confirms they work . In the chaos of defeating the ghosts , Ronin is cut loose . Upon finding the scroll , he takes it and calls for R . E . X . ( which he claimed to have sold to open his shop ) and makes his escape , destroying his shop . Morro uses his powers to knock the mercenary out of his ship and unable to whistle . Everyone gives chase , but Morro manages to get the scroll . The Ninja continue on , though are separated until only Kai is left ( Jay falls into the woman ' s apartment again , Zane is left behind , and Cole falls into a pile of crates ) . At the dock , Morro and Kai run out of pegs with Kai unable to keep his balance and being cornered by Strangle Weed . Morro soon learns Airjitzu and escapes on his dragon , taking Soul Archer with him . Ronin arrives on R . E . X . , offering to save Kai in exchange for something he has which he agrees . On the pier , Jay , Zane , and Cole regroup and lament on the situation . Upon seeing Kai is okay , Cole decides to take his old position as leader the following day . After Kai is dropped off , Ronin reminds him of his deal and what he said about second chances before leaving , wishing the Ninja luck in saving Lloyd . Cole is initially confused , though Kai explains there may be an alternative to learning Airjitzu . Cole is still confused as Ronin makes deals in his favor and Kai ' s a horrible negotiator while Jay questions Kai on what he gave Ronin . Kai reveals he gave him everyone ' s shares of the tea farm , much to everyone ' s horror as Wu wouldn ' t believe it . Kai says since Lloyd ' s paying a bigger price than he did , he ' d do it again . As Cole question how they ' ll learn Airjitzu , Kai says they ' ll have " a ghost of a chance . "
