Time flies, and Far Yamanaka and Shikamaru have been away from Wood Leaf for more than half a year.
In the past six months, in addition to returning to Orochimaru's base every month to replenish Korin's natural energy and see Sasuke, the four of them traveled through half of the Ninja World.
All kinds of unprecedented things made Shikamaru and Shikamaru open their eyes.
Today, they came to the Land of Iron, which was the last stop of this trip.
The Land of Iron is not among the five major countries. It is close to the Land of Earth and the Land of Lightning, bordering the Land of Fire, the Land of Waterfall, and the Land of Field.
There are no ninjas in the Land of Iron, but there is a profession called Samurai. During the time of First Hokage, the Land of Iron and the Five Major Ninja Villages reached an agreement to remain neutral. The Five Major Ninja Villages agreed to the Land of Iron's request out of fear of the Land of Iron and coveted the special forging technology in the country.
Therefore, the Land of Iron escaped the three Ninja World Wars. When the outside world was in war, the Land of Iron had been silently developing and maintaining itself.
As soon as Far Yamanaka's group of four stepped into the Land of Iron, they found that the people here, whether civilians or Samurai, were wearing katanas, and some people had several swords on their waists.
Not to mention Shikamaru and Shikamaru, it was the first time that Far Yamanaka saw such a scene, and he was a little curious.
Just as everyone was looking around, a loud voice sounded behind them, "Hey! Is this the first time you came to the Land of Iron? "
Far Yamanaka glanced back at the tall bald man who spoke and showed a harmless smile, "Well, we are Wood Leaf Ninja, and we came to the Land of Iron to play."
"Oh, it turned out to be a distinguished guest of Wood Leaf. My name is Mifune Lang. You can call me Lang."
Far Yamanaka frowned when he heard the surname Mifune. He remembered that the ruler of the Land of Iron was called Mifune.
Seeing Far Yamanaka's thoughts, Mifune Lang said with a smile, "Guests, don't worry. The surname Mifune is very common in the Land of Iron. There are at least hundreds of people on this street with the surname Mifune. If everyone has something to do with that Lord, the Land of Iron would have been in chaos long ago."
"Haha, so that's how it is. Sorry, I thought too much. My name is Far Yamanaka, and the three of them are my juniors."
When Mitsufune Lang heard the name Far Yamanaka, the smile on his face froze, and his expression was somewhat uncomfortable.
Shikamaru glanced at Mifune Roni's expression, and a trace of vigilance rose in his heart. At the same time, he looked at Far Yamanaka with some puzzlement. He didn't understand why he directly said his real name.
For the past half a year, no matter where they went, they always pretended to be civilians and never revealed their names. Why was it so strange today?
However, since Far Yamanaka had said his real name, they had nothing to hide. Shikamaru took the lead and said, "Hello, my name is Nara Shikamaru."
"Hello, I'm Yamanaka Ino."
"That, I am Akimichi Choji."
Mifune Ronin's expression became even stiffer. After a long time, he said awkwardly, "Shikamaru, Yamanaka, Akimichi? Wood Leaf's Ino, Shika, and Butterfly clans? Looks like he really is an important guest! I don't know why the four of you came to the Land of Iron? "
"It's nothing. We have been traveling in the Ninja World recently. Today, we passed by the Land of Iron, so we came to take a look," Far Yamanaka said.
Hearing this, Mifune Ronin's expression relaxed a little, and then said, "So that's the case. I thought you were also here to participate in the Iron Land's Forging Festival!"
"Forging Festival? What festival is this? "Shikamaru asked.
"Huh? Don't the guests know? "
The four of them looked at each other, then shook their heads.
"Then I'll explain it to everyone! The Forging Festival is a festival that has been held in the Land of Iron for hundreds of years. On this day, the famous Forging Masters in the Land of Iron will appear and have a forging competition in the central square of the Land of Iron.
At the same time, the Forging Masters in other parts of the country will also open their furnaces to forge weapons on this day. As long as you have precious materials and money, you can obtain the weapon that suits your heart at the Forging Festival. "
Far Yamanaka nodded, "So that's the case. Then it seems that we have really caught up with a good day. Speaking of which, I really want to forge something."
"Haha, the Forging Festival is in three days. Please wait patiently. I still have something to do, so I'll leave first. There are hotels and restaurants on the street in front. I wish everyone a good time in the Land of Iron." After saying that, Mifune Ronin turned and ran away.
As soon as Mifune Ronin left, Shikamaru asked Far Yamanaka, "Uncle Far, why don't you hide your identity in the Land of Iron? After that guy heard your name, his reaction was obviously wrong. Should we be careful? "
"The reason why I told my real name is actually very simple. Because the Land of Iron is a neutral country and will not be hostile to any Ninja Village. Moreover, Mifune Ronin's identity is not simple. I deliberately revealed my identity to let him report it to Mifune."
"Uncle Far, how do you know that Mifune Ronin's identity is not ordinary?" Ino asked curiously.
"Shikamaru, do you know?" Far Yamanaka did not answer but looked at Shikamaru and asked.
"Probably because of the calluses on his hands and Chakra!"
"Calluses on his hands? Are you talking about the calluses left by swordsmanship? But everyone in the Land of Iron has a katana on their waist. It's not surprising that there are calluses on their hands! "
Far Yamanaka shook his head and said, "That's not necessarily the case. Ino, if you carefully observe the passers-by passing by, you will find that most of these people's hands are very clean, and only a few have calluses.
As for those who have calluses, you should find that they basically don't have Chakra with your Secret Technique. So those who have calluses on their hands and Chakra fluctuations on their bodies are most likely the subordinates of Mifune, the leader of the Land of Iron. "
Ino still didn't believe it. She tried it according to what Far Yamanaka said and found that it was indeed the case.
"Uncle Far, why did you let Mifune know that you are in the Land of Iron?" Ino continued to ask.
"It's very simple. Because I have something to do with him. But after knowing about this Forging Festival, it doesn't matter if I see him or not.
Well, the three of you don't have to be so nervous. Come on, let's taste the delicacies of the Land of Iron as before. "After saying that, Far Yamanaka took the lead and walked towards the street with hotels and restaurants that Mifune mentioned just now.
At the same time, in a loft in the center of the Land of Iron, Mifune Lang was reporting to Mifune sitting on the main seat about Far Yamanaka.
After listening to the report, Mifune looked very serious. Far Yamanaka's reputation in the Land of Iron was also extremely loud. Especially recently, the Five Major Ninja Villages had tacitly agreed that Far Yamanaka was the strongest in the Ninja World.
Such a person came to the Land of Iron, Mifune couldn't help but be nervous. After hesitating for a moment, Mifune said to Mifune Lang, "Lang, you tell everyone for me not to disturb Far Yamanaka. Don't follow, don't monitor, and don't have any conflicts with him. According to what you just said, he should just want to forge something at the Forging Festival."
