Chapter 457
Ti flew by without them even noticing it. Yamanaka Ryo and Shikamaru-Ino-Choji had been leaving Konoha for more than half a year.
In the past six months, in addition to going to Orochimaru base every month to resupply Korin’s natural Chakra, they also ca to see Sasuke. They now had seen half of the Ninja World.
All kinds of things never seen before had opened Shikamaru-Ino-Choji’s eyes toward the Ninja World.
........
Today they ca to the Land of Iron, the last stop of this tour.
Land of Iron was not within Five Great Countries, but it was close to the Land of Earth and Land of Lightning, and it borders with Land of Fire, Land of Waterfall, and Land of Rice Fields.
Land of Iron does not have Ninja. What exists is a profession called Samurai. During the Soudai period, the Land of Iron and the Five Great Ninja Village reached an agreent and remained neutral. Using their special forging technology, Land of Iron provides The Five Great Ninja Village weapon as per their request.
Because of this, the Land of Iron survived the Shinobi World War three tis, and the Land of Iron has been silently developing and maintaining itself when the outside world was raging with war.
Yamanaka Ryo and the trio found out that the people here, whether commoner or Samurai, all have Samurai swords. So people even had several swords around their waists.
Both Shikamaru and Yamanaka Ryo were curious because it was their first ti seeing such a scene.
As everyone looked around, a loud voice ca from behind them, “Well, guys, is this your first ti to visit the Land of Iron?”
Yamanaka Ryo glanced back and was t with a bald-tall man who smiled and said, “Harmless to humans and animals, smiled.”
“Well, we are Konoha Ninja. We co to take a look and play.”
“Oh, you’re from Konoha. Let introduce myself, honored guest. My na is Mifune Lang. Just call Lang.”
As soon as Yamanaka Ryo heard that na, he frowned and rembered that the ruler of the Land of Iron was called Mifune too.
Mifune Lang saw Yamanaka Ryo’s deep-in-thought face and said with a smile, “Don’t worry, Sir. The na Mifune is very common in the Land of Iron. There were at least a few hundred people on this street with the sa na. If everyone with a Mifune na is the Lord of this country then Land of Iron has long been ssed up. “
“Haha, So that is. I’m sorry I was a little worried. My na is Yamanaka Ryo. These three kids are my relatives.”
When Mifune Lang heard Yamanaka Ryo’s na, the smile on his face froze, and his expression was a little uncomfortable. Shikamaru took a glance at Mifune’s expression, and it raised a little alertness in his heart. At the sa ti, he gave a puzzled look to Yamanaka Ryo. He didn’t understand why he said his real na now?
Wherever they had been in the past six months, they had always been pretending to be commoner, and not even once they disclose their na. But, why now all of a sudden?
But since Yamanaka Ryo had told his real na, they had nothing to hide, so Shikamaru took the lead and said, “Hi, my na is Nara Shikamaru.”
“Hello, I am Yamanaka Ino.”
“Yo, I’m Akimichi Chōji.”
The look on Mifune’s face beco more rigid, and it took him a long ti to say sothing, awkwardly, “Shikamaru, Yamanaka, Akimichi? Konoha’s Ino–Shika–Chō three clans? What a really noble guest we have today! It was a great surprise to four of the Ino-Shika-Cho mbers to visit the Land of Iron. Is there sothing wrong?”
“It’s okay, we’ve been traveling in Ninja World recently, and we’re passing through the Land of Iron today, so we decided to take a look!” said Yamanaka Ryo.
Hearing this, Mifune looked relaxed a bit and then said, “That’s great! I thought you were coming to the Land of Iron’s Blacksmith festival too!”
“Blacksmith festival? What festival is that?” Shikamaru asked.
“Oh? So you don’t know?”
They glanced at each other, then shook their heads.
“Then I will explain it to you! The Blacksmith Festival is a festival of our Land of Iron that has been going on for hundreds of years. On this day, the famous Blacksmith masters in the Land of Iron will appear, and the Blacksmith competition will take place in the central square of the Land of Iron. At the sa ti, the Blacksmith divisions in the middle school will open furnaces to forge weapons. As long as you have good materials and money, you will be able to forge the weapons that are most suitable for you. ”
Yamanaka Ryo nodded, “So it turned out to be like this. Then it seems that we really co at the right ti. Speaking of which, I really want to make sothing.”
“Haha, there’s still 3 days until the Blacksmith festival. Please wait patiently. Pardon , but I still have sothing to do and have to leave first, please excuse . There are a hotel and restaurant on the street ahead. I wish you all a good ti in the Land of Iron.” Mifune turned and ran away.
As soon as the Mifune left, Shikamaru asked Yamanaka Ryo, “Uncle, why don’t you hide your identity in the Land of Iron? After hearing your na, he seed uneasy. Shouldn’t we be more careful?”
“The reason why I say my real na is actually very simple, because Land of Iron is a neutral country and will not be hostile to any Ninja Village, but the identity of Mifune is not. I deliberately revealed my identity just to let him report about us to Mifune.”
“Uncle, how do you know that Mifune Lang’s identity is unusual?” Ino asked curiously.
“Shikamaru, do you know?” Yamanaka Ryo asked without looking towards Shikamaru.
“Probably because of the cocoon on his hand, and Chakra!”
“Cocoon on hand? Do you an the cocoon mark that was left by practicing swords? But everyone in the Land of Iron holds a Samurai sword around his waist. It is not surprising that there is a cocoon in his hand!”
Yamanaka Ryo shaking his head said, “Ino, if you look closely at the people passing by, you will find that most of their hands are very clean, only a few have cocoons. You should know by using your Secret Jutsu. The people that have cocoons, there’s almost no Chakra in their body. But the people that don’t have cocoons on their hands have Chakra fluctuates on their body. Most likely they’re the subordinate of the leader of the Land of Iron Mifune. ”
Still, in doubt, Ino tried it according to Yamanaka Ryo and found that it’s true. She then asked, “Uncle, then why do you let Mifune know that you are in the Land of Iron?”
“It’s easy, because I’m gonna ask him sothing, but after learning about this Blacksmith festival, it doesn’t matter whether I can et him or not. Well, you three don’t get so nervous, co here, let’s go and taste the Land of Iron’s food.”
After that, Yamanaka Ryo took the lead and hit the street where hotels and restaurants that Mifune ntioned just now.
...........
anwhile, in a loft in the Center of Iron, Mifune Langzheng and Mifune are sitting on the main seat reporting about Yamanaka Ryo.
Mifune looked very serious after listening to the report. Yamanaka Ryo’s na was also extrely popular in the Land of Iron. Especially recently, the five Great Ninja Villages had dubbed Yamanaka Ryo as the strongest in Ninja World. And now such a person ca to the Land of Iron. Mifune couldn’t help but feel nervous.
After a mont of hesitation, Mifune said to Mifune Lang, “Lang, tell your subordinates. No one should disturb Yamanaka Ryo, don’t follow him, don’t keep on watching him, let him do as he pleases. As you said earlier, he may really just want to forge sothing on the Blacksmith festival. “
